CEASE Therapy advertisers to have action taken against them.

Trainspotter

 You and yours (Radio 4) has had an article today (22 March) that says CEASE Therapy advertisers are to have action taken against them by ASA.

The article will be on the BBC Sounds/iPlayer radio later on.   At least someone is beginning to pay attention to problems with snake oil salesmen.

A link to another article about this:

https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/national/17519165.advertising-watchdog-takes-action-against-150-autism-cure-therapists/

Advertisements are not legal anyway if they claim it will cure autism, but now the law will be brought against those who are making the claims.

    Greetings. Slightly in defence of "Homeopathy"... I read and note the text in the picture. This person is simply using the term "Autistic" to mean something negative or meaning something opposing what they are trying to achieve, that is all. Autism has nothing to do with diarrhoea or allergies.

    But it seems that there is a whopping great legion of persons with More Money Than Sense, who take advantage of the Term "Autism" in order to capitalize upon it because it largely confuses 'The Common Man.'...

    E.G. - "They are Autistic. We next administer a lot of Laxatives. This temporarily relieves Their Autism. But once the Laxative effect ran out, they became Autistic again."...This is basically what this article is saying, about Homeopathy (and indeed all so-called "cures") ...and it is succeeding, at those who do not really (care to) understand Autism.     

    It is such a pity and a shame.

    I know they just can't understand that their "treatment " is the problem not just the name! I found this written by a homeopath and the arrogant way he claimed the mother and doctors just don't understand, that speaks volumes to me.
