"Unpublished preliminary findings" ranks down there with "Rumor has it".

I really wish someone would do an article on what it is about their autistic children all these parents hate so much.


I propose a new diagnosis "Autism Derangement Syndrome"


might be the same as what I call "aught-ism"

as in "aspie aught to be normal, and we will make it so."

trouble is, aspie is not big on being "made" to be "normal", and tends to meltdown in the face of such authoritarian nonsense.

I guess a key source of this nonsense is ABA?

College takes action against British Columbia naturopath accused of producing fecal transplants in 'household lab'

Quote:
A B.C. naturopath who claims he can treat autism with fecal transplants at a clinic in Mexico has been barred from producing pills or enemas made from human feces while he's under investigation by several agencies.

The College of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C. says it has taken "extraordinary action" against Jason Klop in response to a complaint from a whistle-blowing former employee, who alleges that he manufactured these products in a "household lab" without standard procedures or quality control.

An Aug. 19 decision from the college's inquiry committee says that while the complaint is under investigation, Klop cannot manufacture, advertise or sell fecal microbiota transplants (FMT). He'll also be subject to random on-site audits to make sure he's not violating his conditions.

Previous CBC stories have revealed how Klop was charging about $15,000 US for autistic children as young as two years old to have FMT treatment at a clinic near Tijuana.

Fecal microbiota treatments take bacteria and other microbes from the poop of a healthy person and transfer them to a patient either anally or orally, with the goal of restoring a normal environment inside the gut.

Health Canada has already investigated an earlier complaint about Klop, and banned him from accepting Canadian patients at his Mexican retreats.

According to the latest decision from the college, the federal body has now opened a second investigation in response to the complaint from Klop's former employee.

Klop fought against the college's attempt to restrict his business, submitting affidavits from himself, a current employee and two clients.

In response to CBC's reporting on Klop's business last year, the B.C. Naturopathic Association, a volunteer professional organization, voted to suspend Klop's membership .

Las Vegas man sold fake COVID treatment with disinfectant made with machine used ‘to clean pools’

Quote:
A Las Vegas man is accused of making a so-called cure for COVID-19 and other ailments with chlorine dioxide, a substance used in bleach, documents show.

Elias Beltran Suarez, 53, faces one charge of acting as a medical practitioner without a license.

According to his arrest report, police received a tip that Beltran was allegedly “manufacturing and selling a cure for COVID-19, autism and cancer” from his apartment.

The product, “Miracle Mineral Solution,” was being marketed as a “miracle cure,” but is believed to have contained unsafe levels of the chemical, which is commonly used in bleach, police said.

The FDA writes those who consume chlorine dioxide have reported severe diarrhea and vomiting.

Maybe he was a Trump supporter acting on his leader’s advice.

After all Trump did suggest drinking bleach to cure covid?

B.C. naturopath claims college can't stop him from selling fecal transplants to treat autistic kids
Quote:
A Fraser Valley naturopath has filed a legal action against his professional regulator, alleging it doesn't have the power to stop him from producing fecal transplants in his B.C. lab to administer to autistic children in Mexico.

Klop has filed a petition in B.C. Supreme Court asking for a judge to step in and quash the college's action. That document includes allegations that the college has overstepped its powers by setting guidelines outside its jurisdiction to regulate the practice of naturopathy.

As for the regulation of fecal transplant products, Klop argues that's the domain of Health Canada.

None of the allegations in the petition have been proven in court and the college has yet to file a response. Asked for comment, college registrar Carina Herman said the college has received the petition and will file its response "in due course."

Naturopaths 'not bound by science,' lawyer argues in B.C. hearing on fecal transplants for autism
Quote:
The lawyer for a Fraser Valley naturopath facing investigation for his business selling fecal microbiota transplants to families of autistic children argued in a B.C. courtroom Tuesday that his client isn't obligated to follow scientific evidence.

"What does it take for a naturopath to do something unbecoming in a field that is so broad and open to interpretation?" he asked the court, arguing only substantial harm to patients would meet the bar.

Gratl suggested a lack of scientific evidence for the use of fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) to treat autism isn't necessarily relevant in this case.

"In certain respects, naturopaths may rely on science, but they are not bound by science," Gratl said.

He explained that naturopathic practices can instead be based on anecdotes or historical knowledge, and later pointed out that the field includes homeopathy, "which some say involves magical thinking [and is] certainly non-scientific at its core."

Last August, the college announced it was taking "extraordinary action" to protect the public, banning Klop from producing or selling FMT products while it investigates his business, Novel Biome.

The order came in response to an April 2021 complaint from a former employee at Klop's lab, who alleged that he was producing FMT products in a basement apartment in Abbotsford using his nephews' feces, without any quality control or proper screening.

After describing the case as a "tragedy" in his opening remarks on Tuesday, Gratl described the allegations in the April 2021 complaint as "entirely unfounded and scurrilous."

He spent much of the day's hearing refuting them, and arguing they don't meet the legal bar for extraordinary action.

Although he acknowledged that Klop's three nephews were the business's only donors at the time of the complaint and clarified that the lab was in a ground-level unit of the building where the boys lived, Gratl said Klop has submitted evidence of his quality assurance processes and standard operating procedures.

Gratl also said the nephews had their blood and feces tested every three months, which he described as standard for FMT. The court heard Klop has deposed that he was confident of the quality of their feces because "they are my nephews, so I know their lifestyles."

The original complaint had also claimed that Klop's lab manager had no scientific qualifications. Gratl said the lab manager actually wrote the complaint using a pseudonym, and counter to her allegations, has 20 years of experience in the field.

He described her as a disgruntled employee who was upset about her position in the company.

Gratl also argued that the college had made several legal errors in its actions against Klop, including accusing him of conduct unbecoming for breaching non-binding Health Canada guidance documents on FMT.

He suggested the college is pursuing restrictions and investigations related to Klop because of a squeamishness about poop rather than any valid concerns about patient safety.

Lawyers for the college have yet to present their arguments.

However, court filings show that the lab manager's complaint is not the only source of concern for the college when it comes to Klop's business.

The investigation process actually began two years earlier, in 2019, when the college appointed inspectors with the private investigation firm Paladin Risk Solutions to look into allegations he was engaging in improper business relationships and violating federal drug policies.

The hearing of Klop's petitions to the court is scheduled to continue on Wednesday.

Man accused of selling bleach as COVID cure extradited to U.S.

Quote:
A man accused of selling a toxic industrial bleach as a coronavirus cure through his Florida-based church has been returned to the United State after being arrested in Colombia.

Mark Grenon, 64, made his initial court appearance Thursday in Miami federal court following his recent extradition, according to court records. Grenon and his three adult sons were indicted last year on one count each of conspiracy to commit fraud and two counts each of criminal contempt.

Grenon is the archbishop of the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing, based in Bradenton, Florida. The church manufactured, promoted and sold chlorine dioxide as a "Miracle Mineral Solution," officials said. The Grenons claim the solution can cure a vast variety of illnesses ranging from cancer to autism to malaria to COVID-19.

A Miami federal judge had ordered the church to stop selling the substance in 2020, but the order was ignored and Grenon was arrested in Colombia several months later.

Authorities said ingesting these products is the same as drinking bleach and can be fatal.

The beast treatment for higher-functioning autism probably isn't medicine or odd therapy treatments; it would probably be therapeutic exercises or education to improve the mental deficits.

For example, having people watch live-action videos on youtube of social interaction, or realistic TV shows and understanding the 'logic' behind it; as well as relaxation exercises or meditation.

Likewise reading books on human psychology or sociology. I think that higher-functioning autistics and improve their ability if they understand the logic behind human interaction; the problem is that it doesn't come as naturally and a lot of them are obstinate about doing things that don't make logical sense.


Agreed 100% about things that actually make NO sense in addressing autism . But convenient for them to believe.

I have seen the vid in context. What he did suggest is strange, UV light and disinfectant injections used locally in the lungs, but he at least partly phrased it in the form of a question, and was clear he pictured this in a medical setting and not as a bleach party among qtarts.

Yet some MSM outfits jumped on this and said flat out Trump said drink bleach. That in itelf is closer to the 'crime' they accuse Trump of. What if a q tart hears this false report and chugs a mug of bleach?*

Trump later said he was being sarcastic - I would say sort of sarcasm, but total gaslighting. f**k Trump, dat orange debil

Judge upholds order banning B.C. naturopath from making fecal transplants for autistic kids

Quote:
A B.C. Supreme Court judge has upheld a ban meant to prevent a Fraser Valley naturopath from manufacturing, advertising and selling pills and enemas made from human feces for use on autistic children.

Jason Klop is the subject of an August 2021 "extraordinary action" from the College of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C. that prohibits him from producing and marketing fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) while he is under investigation because of a number of complaints about his business.

He turned to the courts in an attempt to quash the investigations and lift the ban, but last week Justice Jacqueline Hughes dismissed both petitions. She said the college did not err in taking interim action against Klop, and it would be premature to interfere with its ongoing investigations.

Hughes said the evidence in front of the college was enough to suggest Klop's business could present "a real risk of harm to the public" and that he may have committed professional misconduct and unprofessional conduct.

As CBC first reported in January 2020, Klop has been charging parents about $15,000 US for autistic children as young as two years old to receive FMT, mainly at a clinic in the Mexican oceanside city of Rosarito. He has since expanded to offer his services in Hungary, Australia and Panama.

FMT treatments involve taking bacteria and other microbes from the poop of a healthy person and transferring them to a patient either anally or orally, with the goal of restoring a normal environment inside the gut.

Although it is currently the subject of research for a wide array of potential uses, FMT is only approved in Canada and the U.S. for the treatment of recurrent C. difficile infection that hasn't responded to other therapies.

The ban on producing and selling FMT products stems from an April 2021 complaint filed by a former employee of Klop's business, who alleged he was producing these pills and enemas in a basement apartment in Abbotsford using his nephews' feces without any quality control or proper screening.

Klop has argued that he now works in a lab in Chilliwack where his manufacturing and quality control standards meet all Health Canada requirements.

But, Hughes wrote, "the record appears to be devoid of evidence as to whether the petitioner's operating procedures or testing regime complies with Health Canada or any other recognized industry standards — or that such standards even exist for FMT materials."

Inside the Private Group Where Parents Give Ivermectin to Kids With Autism

Quote:
In a private group on Telegram, parents whose children are living with a range of disabilities including autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, and Down Syndrome cheer each other on and provide support when discussing daily struggles.

But the channel’s main function isn’t actually support: It’s to promote the use of veterinary ivermectin as a treatment—and in some cases a cure—for these disabilities.

Hundreds of parents have turned to this conspiracy network, and are recommending a drug to each other that experts have repeatedly said is designed only for large animals and is so concentrated that it can be toxic when ingested by humans. In the channel, parents even share stories about their children experiencing horrific side effects from the drug, including brain fog, severe headaches, nausea, muscle pain, and seizures—and are routinely dismissed by those running the channel, who claim it’s a normal part of the ‘healing’ process.

The Learning to Fly channel, however, takes usage for children even further.

“It is for mom and dads with kids on the spectrum,” the founder of the channel wrote in a message describing the group last year. “My daughter is

30 yrs old with Asperger’s syndrome and my son is 28 yrs old with autism. We are all 3 on ivermectin and started mid February.

In a pinned “Where to start” post, the channel admins give new members a guide about what to expect and how to begin giving their kids ivermectin by first applying a liquid form of ivermectin to the bottom of children’s feet.

“Just get a dab on your finger and run it along the arch of their feet,” the instructions state. A week later, parents are told to start administering ivermectin paste internally.

The channel also provides advice on how to explain the ivermectin usage to children:

“Best way to explain it is [the kids] have a cluster of parasites that are in a part of the brain that causes outbursts. When the parasites in that part of the brain get attacked [by ivermectin] the parasites panic and release their toxins as well as get active. Their death dance,” the channel guidelines state. “This will affect the kiddos and their behaviors.”

And when children experience side effects, the channel admins claim that it’s all because the ivermectin is driving out parasites. They call this “herxing,” which is a real term used to describe an adverse response that occurs in people who take antibiotics as a treatment for Lyme disease and a number of other illnesses.

“Herxing can be a big issue with our kids,” the channel admins wrote in a pinned message. “They have so much overloading them already, herxing adds more. Remember things will get worse before they get better. They will have days [when] it looks like their behaviors are getting worse but it is only temporary. This is the herxing.

I would like to take the time to say that medical quackery in any form is extremely dangerous and harmful to people and societies as a whole, let me see if I can elaborate upon this better. In 2000, South Africa's President Thabo Mbeki invited several HIV/AIDS denialists to join his Presidential AIDS Advisory Panel.[52] A response named the Durban Declaration was issued affirming the scientific consensus that HIV causes AIDS: Independently estimated that Thabo Mbeki's denialist policies led to the early deaths of more than 330,000 South Africans.

Now I'll present my own experience with medical quackery, many years ago where I lived at the time; I was part of social support group for people with Aspergers; as I recall encounter a young lady whose son was autistic and as she stated to me, " in my former homeland children born with any physical or neurological phenomena would be considered a product of the Devil" Also she stated that often said children were either A: abandoned and left to die outright or B: put to death, and no I'm not exaggerating on this at all.

Sometimes I would comically laugh on the inside and think, that I must be Damian Thorne from the movie,"The Omen" where all kind of gruesome deaths are occuring to my perceieved enemies, nope as many tragedies have befallen me and those around honestly. (sighs) to make matters worse there are even people here in North America that believe that all autistic phenomena is caused by the devil..

Well, I close by saying that medical quackery in any form that it takes is absolutely harful an dangerous and should be dispelled immediately.

Sincerely,
longshot
