Who Are the Real Autism Experts?
It seems there is some confusion these days as to who the true experts on treating autism are. With so many experimental new drugs, treatments and behavioral therapies, both seasoned doctors (who’ve found a new niche specializing in autism treatment) as well as coalitions of parents and naturopaths are vying for a place being recognized for making great leaps in treating autism.
The Chicago Tribune, for one, has been busy casting aspersions on the legitimacy of the “crusades” of apparent non-AMA doctors, experts, activists, etc. Specfically, those led by Dr. Mayer Eisenstein and Dr. Mark Geier and his son David.
One of the issues in their recent stories is the use of Lupron to treat aggression in autistic children who have high levels of testosterone — a move which has been hugely controversial. The treatment is slammed as “unproven and potentially damaging” in the Tribune. Another of their attacks goes: “In the absence of definitive answers, unproven treatments have proliferated, including diets that eliminate wheat and dairy, chelation drugs that leach metals out of the body, and treatment in hyperbaric oxygen chambers similar to those used to treat scuba divers with ‘the bends.’ ”
But what does the Chicago Tribune know, really? Do they have a team of staff doctors and scientists with real medical facts to trump these experimental new forays, or simply just…cynicism on their side? It seems the establishment has taken great pride in bashing anything that doesn’t bow to Big Pharma’s vaccination agenda.
Will there be a new “autism vaccine” coming out from our friends in the industry soon? I don’t think the parents, doctors and scientists who actually want to see true remedy from the dual spikes in vaccines and autism will really care. They’ll be too busy doing real scientific work aimed at getting these kids detoxed and free of epidemic neuropathies such as autism.
