I just saw that too. My guess is that if we go through all the links on the RI post, we will find that STY has made the same comment on all of them.

I just noticed an identical comment from “Sty” at Respectful Insolence.

It is a good troll tactic. Let’s argue thimerosal (for the millionth time).

So what? Assume thimerosal is the most toxic substance ever invented or eve to be invented.

Does that mean that Boyd Haley should be allowed to bypass the law and market a synthetic substance as a “supplement”? Does that mean that Boyd Haley should call something non-toxic that causes reactions in laboratory mice? Does that mean that Boyd Haley should be allowed to keep his safety data from the public and only have it disclosed by the FDA?

Perhaps Smarter Than You could live up to his name and point out in which of Boyd Haley’s numerous talks on his chelator is where he mentioned the hair loss, lymph and pancreatic changes observed in the mice he tested. I couldn’t find it.

Smarter Than You is invited to read the transcripts from the Autism Omnibus, where actual medical toxicologists discussed the “thimerosal causes autism” theory. Where actual autism experts discussed the theory. Where the theory was resoundly rejected.

Don’t bother arguing with this troll.

Hi STY maybe you could provide some decent evidence that thiomersal is likely to cause autism?

Wow everyone watch out for OSR it is so toxic This is huge news But at the same time remember thimerosal is completely safe even though it is 49.6% extreme neurotoxin. Hilarious Get a clue

Don’t forget the tireless work of Kathleen Seidel on this issue:

FDA To Haley: OSR#1 A Misbranded, Mislabeled, Unsafe Drug ·

.....The warning letter validates observations made in the articles A Fine White Powder, The Industrial Treatment, and An Inquiry Emerges, published on Neurodiversity Weblog in August 2008, shortly after Prof. Haley first offered OSR#1 for sale to the public.

Anne,

thank you for that. I wanted to check the website to see if the content was removed, and I should have done so before writing this post.

In response to the FDA warning letter, Dr. Weil took corrective action and removed the offending claims from his website. He also posted a notice about it, in which he said “I directed the website team to remove the FDA/FTC-referenced content for review, and they have done so. I fully support the FDA/FTC task force in its efforts.” It remains to be seen whether Dr. Haley will similarly comply with his warning letter by stopping the sale of OSR#1.
