Doctor revoked his medical license after selling $15,000 worth of fake fecal transplants he claimed could treat AUTISM in young children

A Canadian doctor’s medical license has been revoked after defrauding families out of thousands of dollars in fake autism treatments.

Charlatan Jason Klop charged $15,000 for fecal transplants, in which bacteria were extracted from the stools of healthy patients and transferred to autistic children as young as two.

He claimed the treatment – administered with pills or enemas – led to “dramatic improvements” in autism symptoms and offered it at clinics in Mexico, Hungary, Australia and Panama.

Klop admitted that his company violated several Health Canada rules as well as College of Naturopathic Physicians standards and that he would pay a paltry $7,500 fine.

A statement from the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia said Klop was removed from the facility on Wednesday. He has the right to apply for reinstatement within five years.

In addition to promoting and selling fecal transplants that are not approved for autism, he admitted makes “unverifiable statements” in its advertisements.

He claims to have seen “dramatic improvements” in the autism symptoms of young children he treated at his clinics in Mexico, Hungary, Australia and Panama for a mere $15,000.

Klop also claimed to have met donor screening requirements of the Food and Drug Administration and the American Gastroenterology Association. However, it was later revealed that his laboratory had no protocols for testing donors or analyzing products and that he disposed of faeces with household waste.

Court documents indicate that he “treated” at least sixty children in this manner.

Fecal transplants are only approved in Canada and the US to treat C.diff – a serious and recurrent stomach infection.

It is being studied to treat a variety of conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome, liver disease and diabetes. So far, benefit in children with autism has been demonstrated in a study of 18 children who received an “transplant” in the form of an enema or pill for about two months.

The treatment improved symptoms. But the study had major caveats, not least because of the small sample size. The study format also allowed recipients to know whether they were receiving treatment or a placebo, meaning the results may have been influenced by the placebo effect.

The ability of fecal transplants to treat autism symptoms has not been clinically proven through adequate research

Shaina Cahill, spokeswoman for Klop’s company Novel Biome, confirmed the disciplinary agreement in an email to CBC.

“He has not worked as a naturopathic doctor for several years and has transitioned fully into a role focused solely on manufacturing faecal microbiota transplant (FMT) products as a contract manufacturer,” she said of Klop. .

Autism spectrum disorder includes a broad spectrum of disorders characterized by social impairments, sensory sensitivity, communication difficulties and difficulty adapting to change.

The FDA approves the first fecal transplant to treat C. difficile

A dose of the drug Rebyota is given to people with Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) – a superbug that leads to infections that cause fatal diarrhoea. The drug is produced in Switzerland.

There is no cure for ASD, so experts also recommend behavioral and educational therapies to help people, especially children.

Researchers believe autism is the result of a combination of certain genetic factors that make a person more vulnerable, as well as environmental factors such as low birth weight and older parents.

It is learned that the controversial link between autism and certain vaccines has been completely denied, the study that reported it has been retracted and the author has fallen into disgrace.

But that didn’t stop some parents from making this blatant accusation.

The lack of clarity about the cause of autism and how it can be cured has also led parents to try dangerous “treatments”. These include feeding a child Miracle Mineral Solution, a highly toxic bleach-like chemical, chemical castration and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder have various forms of psychotherapy and occupational therapy that can help them thrive better than ever.

At the same time, caring for a child with severe autism can put a strain on the whole family, and many criminals can exploit this exhaustion, frustration and lingering hope to achieve something.
