Mother ‘investigated for giving son bleach enema to “cure” his autism’
The woman, from Cheshire, has been reported to police for her activity in a secret Facebook group for parents that claims autism is caused by parasites that can be cleansed using the potentially lethal treatment.
Parents on the group, which has around 8,500 members and allegedly charges £60 for membership, routinely share images of so-called parasites leaving their children after treatment.
However, autism campaigner Emma Dalmayne who infiltrated the group, says the images actually show children’s bowel lining that has been burned away by the bleach.
Emma, who is autistic herself, alerted police after she saw a post from the Cheshire mother appearing to confess to using CD on her child by administering 25 drops a day.
She is now calling for the government to ban the treatments through a petition calling for an end to all autism cures.

While I understand why snake oil salesmen can push any quack solution to the autism epidemic world wide - the epidemic has been caused by the United Nations World Health Organisation shutting down the English haven for people with the asperger strain in 1997 after designating it a serious mental disease in 1992 in their International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems and the American Psychiatric Association eradicating the aspergers label and its diagnostic characteristics from their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 2013 - it is time the UK and US and all other UN governments and even non UN governments cracked down on this abuse of people's fears.
I found the petition online and signed it. If we can make those cures illegal in one country, than we can eventually make them illegal around the world.

There is always one theoretical group out there that still ultra-fallaciously believes that ASD's only have one single cause (like parasites as mentioned) and that it can reversed by mitigating it with the same methodological treatment that pertains to it biomarker roots....unbelievable.

Emma from South East London who was diagnosed with aspergers four years ago, spoke to us about how this hazardous treatment which is available to purchase online is being used by parents of autistic children across the globe.
The devoted mum who also revealed that her youngest son was diagnosed with autism over five years ago, has become a respected campaigner for children and adults who have been the victims of autistic mistreatment.
Although the alternative treatment has recently been banned in Ireland due to the efforts of Emma’s fellow campaigner and best friend Fiona O’Leary who runs Autistic Rights Together.ie, Emma has said she is deeply concerned about the number of people being unlawfully forced to undertake the treatment in the UK and around the world.
Misinformed parents believe that autism is caused by a parasite infestation or heavy metal poisoning and they seek to use this so called treatment as it claims to work by flushing out parasites or bacteria from a persons system which then ultimately cures them, however this is clearly not the case as it can cause serious bowel problems with victims more often than not experiencing tearing to their bowel lining, Emma said.
Other side effects include: “Nose bleeds, Seizures ,Vomitting, Diarrhoea, Headaches, Aches and pains, Sores and rashes, Cramps Jaundice Liver and even kidney failure
Emma also states the ramifications psychologically on an autistic child undergoing this harmful treatment seriously needs to be considered.
“It is sexual abuse as a child is not capable of consenting to be penetrated with a bleach enema and in many cases the child is restrained by up to 3 adults in order to give it.”
“Autistic adults are also being held down and having this done to them.” she added.
Although the avid campaigner admitted that parents do come to her for help, she said she is still shocked at how many parents are willing to use this alternative treatment on their children against their will as it is basically child abuse.
