Homeopaths say kids can be "unvaccinated..."



Clay-eating homeopathy quacks want to ‘unvaccinate’ children with saunas and hard work in the sun

Homeopathic practitioners say they can reverse the effects of vaccinations — including the bogus link to autism.

Anti-vaccine advocates insist trace amounts of formaldehyde, mercury or aluminum can cause autism and illness, although no scientific evidence exists to support their claims.

Many adherents to this belief decide to let their children go unvaccinated, but some homeopathic practitioners claims they can unvaccinate children who have already been vaccinated.

Some homeopaths recommend detoxifying children by bathing their bodies or feet in water with essential oils and “a few pinches of high quality sea salt,” and then restoring their gut flora by feeding them fish oil and probiotic powders available from online retailers.

Others recommend bathing children in clay or even feeding it to them, then sweating out heavy metals or other toxins in saunas, sweat lodges and through “good ol’ hard work in the sun.”

will proudly proclaim how they distrust "big pharma" because of the profit motive, and then turn around and hand over thousands of dollars for supplements or "naturopaths" or this kind of B.S.
