The unproven autism treatment taking off under RFK Jr – Stateside with Kai and Carter

A concerning trend has emerged in the US where parents of children with autism are increasingly turning to a controversial stem cell treatment, despite its lack of scientific validation. Clinics are charging tens of thousands of dollars for this therapy, administered to young children as young as 18 months old. This trend is being fueled by the backing of the treatment by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the US Health Secretary, raising questions about the influence of high-profile advocates on medical decisions. The investigation by The Guardian highlights the urgent need for more rigorous scrutiny of such treatments to protect vulnerable families from potentially harmful and financially exploitative practices.
