    Fecal transplants seem like a very promising treatment for a variety of illnesses, such as autoimmune diseases. But autism? That’s a bit of a stretch. Right up there with the theory in the 90s that eliminating gluten from a child’s diet will “cure” autism.

      It’s being investigated by actual scientists (not naturopaths) and is having some positive results but much more research is needed. https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=fecal+transplant+autism&btnG=#d=gs_qabs&t=1699070220030&u=%23p%3Dv7Pl4rTj2fkJ

      Likely not as much of a stretch as you would think.. It’s just such an immature field of study. But given some people’s level of desperation I’m not surprised.

      I despise that there’s “legitimacy” given to a lot of woo out there. I mean, there’s medicine, there’s things that sometimes works that we can’t figure out, and then there’s people just trying to see what shit works (pun intended). Maybe we should label some things as “experimental” or not call it something that sounds “official.”
