Hi all

Daily mail are publishing some of our comments and also this

muppet.

Congratulations to Barney Calman for exposing some of the

practitioners who are exploiting parents of children with

autism by

providing tests and treatments of unproven value and

uncertain safety.

Take secretin. This is a crude extract of pig pancreas that

was

developed as a diagnostic test and never designed or tested

as a

treatment. There is no coherent scientific rationale for its

use in

autism. Studies have shown that it does not work. Yet

practitioners

are prepared to inject secretin, repeatedly and at great

expense,

into children with autism.

One of the most popular treatments in the USA - heavy metal

chelation - is also the most dangerous. One boy from Britain

has

already died having this treatment in America.

As the father of an autistic son and as a doctor I would

urge parents

to avoid these treatments and the practitioners who provide

them.

Hi Jane, I could not find these letters online - could you or someone

reproduce text or a link I could follow - sorry to be thick.
