          They did a compilation episode of all of the bastards Oprah gave us that they’d previously covered, including Dr Phil. It was like 9 hours long. I couldn’t finish it.

            Phil McGraw, I like to point out has a bad reputation and still got a prime time drama about his career on CBS called Bull.

            There are been allegations that the work environment on the set of his talk show was toxic for those working on it. On top of that, there had been allegations that guest who were on certain types of medications would have it withheld before taping. Separate from this there was allegations that guest would often be given alcohol and illicit drugs before taping.

            I’ve only watched like five minutes of this show ever, where a mother tried reaching out to her daughter that was engaged in sex work. She wanted to get her daughter to stop the sex work. Everything McGraw said was vile and victim blaming about the daughter’s lifestyle. It was utterly disgusting.

      It’s a really bad move by iHerb. They made him a brand ambassador or some shit in 2023. The company was doing fine then they had to get in bed with Brainworms’ buddy.

      You can find all sorts of info on the press releases. Bunch of really lame brain marketing bullshit.

      Regardless of who owns it, I’m not sure I would trust any other supplement marketplace. I’m never buying supplements from Amazon ever again.

    The was quite literally the playbook of Andrew Wakefield when he published the 1998 fraudulent paper in the Lancet that purported to link MMR vaccines to autism, kicking off our entire modern round of anti-vax nonsense.

    He stood make millions selling test kits to people suddenly fearful of vaccination, IIRC. They’re all scum, seeking to rake in money on the very fears they’ve stoked.

    Finally we are seeing real American healthcare. This was never about healing or helping people and this is the real reason why we make so much drugs.

    Could have been worse, like realizing it’s genetic and issuing mandatory sterilizations to both the autistic people and their parents.

    Apparently someone of Kenvue Inc. (owner of the Tylenol brand) forgot to pay the bribe.

    Next week it will be some random product that Bayer makes that may or may not be linked to autism.

    So are they going to ban Tylenol? Isn’t it one of the most common OTC painkillers?

      I believe they say it’s only for the pregnant mothers taking it causing autism to their unborn babies.

      This perfectly fits into all MAGA’s Project 2025 tenants:

      • Women don’t matter and Women’s healthcare should be reduced and their bodies controlled
      • Don’t care about babies that have been born, just the unborn ones
      • Blame things without any evidence to enforce solutions that profit the companies who pay into the administration and people who have been appointed there.

        Don’t forget children! So many kids are going to get brain damage or die because Trump just went up with a bunch of disgraced doctors and told people not to give any fever reducers unless absolutely necessary

      Moving forward, the CDC will merely advise against pregnant mother’s taking acetaminophen. Dumb, but not the bog deal many are making it out to be. The antivax shit is 10,000 times worse.

        The damage to trust in the US’ institutions and government is tremendous, and will not likely be repaired in our lifetimes.

          Not in my lifetime. I’m middle-aged. We might have slid by with Trump 1.0, but having elected him again after the first nightmare administration? Nah, the US won’t be trusted for 50 years or more. And we won’t have the economy or soft power to project influence. It’s all over but the shouting.

    It is men taking power over women and deciding how they should be treated. What else to expect from a rapist?

    Ugh, and folinic acid is just a vitamin that can, in some cases and conditions, help with some language processing issues.

    Like it can help with apraxia. It’s not a cure for autism. Or anything.
