Somehow the parents get hooked. They are victims. Some are so far in they are recruiting other parents.

I don't know if it was Patrick Holford. If you are wondering why I was watching it, it was 3 am. My brain was half-dead and I really was just curious to see what a quack really sounds like. I can't believe people would fall for this. I don't know, if it's I'm really that smart. Or that people are so desperate to hear there's a cure they'll belive ANYTHING. The guy I was watching tried to sell a health wellness kit, to a parent with ADHD. After he claimed that an adult amount of vitamins is good for a 9 year old, I turned it off. I just couldn't stand that BS. I think the best way to explain this, is with a quote from Ren & Stimpy. A salesman tries selling Salve to Stimpy, and Ren yells at the salesman "Nobody takes advantage of my idiot, except ME!". That's how I feel about this, it's like these people are taking advantage of idiots. Really, that isn't something to be proud of nor is it something worth doing. It's lowley and pathetic. I'm calling the parents who fallow this idiots. I have a hard time telling who is a victim of their own idiocy, or who is really just that naieve. I think in both cases, it's like stealing candy from a baby. It should also leave the schiester who does it, with the same combonation of guilt/self-hatred.

If theres one thing I've learned from my autistic friends is that part of Autism is a big fat bullshit filter that aint going to let quackery see the light of day. Good luck :) Aw man. :( The scientologists are going after the autism guys too now :(

I merely gave her name because the signatory number seems to have changed and I wanted to give some way of identifying the statement if the numbers should change again.
