Exclusive: US homeopaths claim ‘therapies’ prevent measles and ‘cure’ autism
Thousands of children put on alternative therapies amid measles outbreak, potentially exposing them to life-threatening illness
Thousands of American children are being put on homeopathic alternatives to vaccination by practitioners who claim they can prevent measles and “cure” autism, the Guardian has learned.
At least 200 homeopaths in the US are practicing a controversial “therapy” known as Cease that falsely asserts that it has the power to treat and even cure autism. The acronym stands for Complete Elimination of Autistic Spectrum Expression.
