Folate, Fever, and the Future of Autism Research
from Wellness Talk with George Batista · host George Batista
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now launched a safety label change warning of the dangers of Tylenol in pregnant mothers. The FDA also announced approval of leucovorin, a form of folic acid suggested as a treatment for autism symptoms. The medical community, in collusion with public health officials, has long pointed to a ‘blame-the-victim’ approach, saying it was just children with unlucky genetics – a nod to eugenics musings and insulting to families looking for answers.
