Sounds like a pile of psuedoscientific cack. If there was any truth to it, it would be submitted to an academic journal for peer review and publication. Of course if they did that everyone would know they are speaking rubbish.
Will listen to the videos when I get home. I did study chemistry at university, but that was a while ago, and chelates will precipitate out heavy metals but if her son had toxic levels of mercury in his body he would be dead or VERY ill at the very least.
Exactly it's a theory that has not been properly tested yet and to some extent I don't even like the outline they have put in the link you have supplied. This bit in particular I didn't like "a case-series of autistic children has shown that some have plasma testosterone levels that were significantly elevated in comparison neurotypical control children"
For one thing just because her non verbal child was able to speak after treatment does not show a recovery from autism. I'm autisitic and can speak as are most others on this board. This treatment may have been responsible for this development but it certainly doesnt prove it. Where are those treated with placebos? has the mother or others been engaging her child more since she started treatment?
The mother also seemed to be concerned that her son was masturbating and having erections!!! At this point I have to try hard not just to dismiss her as a stupid neo-con.
Is this worthy of more research? Yes but when people, like the woman in the linked vid, start claiming there children are recovering from autism without solid evidence from properly designed clinical trials which has been peer reviewed and verified it disgusts me.
Until they can publish data to support these claims I will continue to dismiss them as agenda pushing idiots.
Not a fake. It's Christard conspiracy theoriests who believe Satan, through the Illuminati/Government are pumping mercury into vaccinations which causes Autism/Demon Possesion.
Oh, I forgot, they're Holocaust deniers too.
The Illuminati=Jews.
Got any evidence to support this?
Yes the science always was a bit suspect but so are your conspiracy theorists arguments and claims of them being anti semitic. But feel free to post some evidence to support these offensive/libelous statements of yours.
Also her left arm shakes in a weird way.
Maybe it will be helpful to read
this blog. The author makes a very good work explaining why this is all crap.
