Doctor Jason Klop lost his professional license last Wednesday (01/11) after proposing a false cure for autism.
The Canadian charged US$15,000 (about 73,500 reais) for fecal transplants, which involved removing bacteria from healthy patients’ stools and transferring them to autistic children as young as 2 years old.
The treatment, carried out with pills or an enema (intestinal washing), Klop claimed, led to “significant improvements” in autism symptoms. It was offered in clinics in Mexico, Hungary, Australia and Panama.
Klop admitted his company violated several Health Canada rules, as well as standards set by the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia. He will have to pay a fine of US$7,500 (R$36,700).
In addition to admitting to promoting and selling fecal transplants that are not approved for autism, he admitted to making “unverifiable claims” in advertising the treatment.
Court documents reveal that the Canadian “treated” at least 60 children with this illegal method. Fecal transplants are only approved in Canada and the United States for the treatment of Clostridioides-induced colitis, a type of stomach infection.
According to the “Daily Mail”, Klop will have the right to regain his medical license in five years.
