    Hi WifWaf,

    Good post - I wasn't aware that it is actually illegal in the US.

    I guess I feel sorry for Sarah - if I was low functioning or a parent of a low functioning child then I can see how a treatment like that would be attractive. I also feel sorry for someone who has been taken in by unscrupulous charlatans. People with good intentions can also persuade themselves that the treatment that they offer  is viable - perhaps Wakefield falls into this camp? People are impressionable and can fall for other people's schemes or even for their own schemes.
