I just saw a link to this article posted on a message board I frequent. The article, ‘Miracle drug’ called junk science
Powerful castration drug pushed for autistic children, but medical experts denounce unproven claims, discusses the (in)famous duo of Dr. Mark Geier and his son, David Geier and their new “lupron protocol.”
“Geier and his son developed the “Lupron protocol” for autism and are marketing it across the country, opening clinics in states from Washington to New Jersey. In the Chicago area, the treatment is available through Dr. Mayer Eisenstein, a family practitioner in Rolling Meadows.” Source: Chicago Tribune
Long-time readers of my blog know that I’m pretty much anti-cure but reading this article just made me absolutely sick to my stomach. So I kind of understand the vitamin/supplement thing – not from a cure standpoint but hey, it might help a person feel better. The B12 shots make me squeamish to think about but it’s a vitamin (albeit in a high dose and via injection) but Lupron…seriously? This is sickening.

The Lupron Protocol is nothing but pure quackery. You should really read some of the comments that the Geires have made concerning autistic children. According to them, autistic individuals are over-sexed, over-hyperactive animals.
