Summary Box: US plans controversial autism study

By The Associated Press – 4 hours ago

QUACK RESEARCH? The government wants to test chelation, a treatment for lead

poisoning, on children with autism — even though there's no evidence it

leads to improvements.

WHY? Proof that chelation doesn't work might dissuade many parents from

trying it, the government theorizes. Other scientists decry it as quack

medicine.

CHELATION DANGERS? Chelation treatment can involve pills, suppositories or

IV treatment. Side effects can include rashes, low white blood cells and

vomiting. Also, three deaths have been linked to medication errors involving

the

IV treatment.
