MMS, Miracle Mineral Solution, CD, Chlorine Dioxide…call it what you will, it’s abusive and it’s fake medicine
I’ve written a few times about MMS. Rather than the long articles on specific topics, I feel it’s appropriate to make a simple, short statement: MMS, aka Miracle Mineral Solution, aka CD, aka chlorine dioxide is bogus. It’s junk. Worse than that, it’s abusive. Yes, you will find segments of the autism-parent community who promote […]

Here’s one part of Brian Hooker’s “reanalysis” that shows just how cynical the anti vaccine movement is
When my kid was diagnosed autistic I started reading research papers (I am a Ph.D. researcher by profession) and the raw data. One thing that struck me immediately was the fact that minority children are much less likely to get a diagnosis than white kids. And minority kids are diagnosed later. This inequity really bothers […]

Why autism at 2.5% isn’t surprising.
Let’s get one thing out right away–autism prevalence studies undercount. Not all autistics are diagnosed. That’s just a fact. Consider the recent CDC study. They look at school and medical records. In many cases, they find children are autistic based on their records–but the schools and doctors hadn’t diagnosed those children. Combining data from all […]

VAXXED pulled in over $1.3M in donations, and most of it went to Wakefield and Tommey’s company
A few years ago Andrew Wakefield (one of Time Magazine’s Great Science Frauds) headed a team promoting a faux documentary called “Vaxxed”. I wrote about this film a great deal at the time, but suffice it to say it exemplified much of what is wrong with the way the anti-vaccine community uses and abuses the […]

Proud of You
I had the privilege of presenting a second piece on KQED Radio’s Perspectives. The piece, Proud of You, aired earlier this week. The audio is on KQED’s site. When we were expecting our son a doctor told us he would be very disabled. I had feared hearing that and yet I had never prepared myself. […]

Wakefield continues his climb to the top of the heap. The dung heap.
and Medscape named him the worse doctor of 2011 (worse than Michael Jacksons doc!):

It’s amusing and interesting to see people so concerned about protecting Wakefield, yet those same people don’t seem to mind that Jenny McCarthy’s son never had acutal autism. He has landau kleffner syndome.
Harry,
I’ve seen that speculated, even in the scientific literature by an expert, but have not seen it confirmed.
Harry, as Sullivan states I don’t know those claim has ever been confirmed so I think some benefit of doubt should be given that it is in fact autism. What concerns me more about Jenny is that she does not seem to openly talk about the intensive ABA her son did.
