    It is men taking power over women and deciding how they should be treated. What else to expect from a rapist?

    Could have been worse, like realizing it’s genetic and issuing mandatory sterilizations to both the autistic people and their parents.

    Apparently someone of Kenvue Inc. (owner of the Tylenol brand) forgot to pay the bribe.

    Next week it will be some random product that Bayer makes that may or may not be linked to autism.

      Do not get me even started

          After the Oprah episodes they did a compilation episode of all of the bastards Oprah gave us that they’d previously covered, including Dr Phil. It was like 9 hours long. I couldn’t finish it.

            Phil McGraw, I like to point out has a bad reputation and still got a prime time drama about his career on CBS called Bull.

            There are been allegations that the work environment on the set of his talk show was toxic for those working on it. On top of that, there had been allegations that guest who were on certain types of medications would have it withheld before taping. Separate from this there was allegations that guest would often be given alcohol and illicit drugs before taping.

            I’ve only watched like five minutes of this show ever, where a mother tried reaching out to her daughter that was engaged in sex work. She wanted to get her daughter to stop the sex work. Everything McGraw said was vile and victim blaming about the daughter’s lifestyle. It was utterly disgusting.

    Ugh, and folinic acid is just a vitamin that can, in some cases and conditions, help with some language processing issues.

    Like it can help with apraxia. It’s not a cure for autism. Or anything.

    The was quite literally the playbook of Andrew Wakefield when he published the 1998 fraudulent paper in the Lancet that purported to link MMR vaccines to autism, kicking off our entire modern round of anti-vax nonsense.

    He stood to make millions selling test kits to people suddenly fearful of vaccination, IIRC. They’re all scum, seeking to rake in money on the very fears they’ve stoked.

      It’s a really bad move by iHerb. They made him a brand ambassador or some shit in 2023. The company was doing fine then they had to get in bed with Brainworms’ buddy.

      You can find all sorts of info on the press releases. Bunch of really lame brain marketing bullshit.

      Regardless of who owns it, I’m not sure I would trust any other supplement marketplace. I’m never buying supplements from Amazon ever again.

    Finally we are seeing real American healthcare. This was never about healing or helping people and this is the real reason why we make so much drugs.

    Grifters are going to grift. Using the government to grift doesn’t surprise me.

    What hurts the most is how many people are so desperate that they are going to buy into some snake oil and not actually get any help.
