The lawyer for a Fraser Valley naturopath facing investigation for his business selling fecal microbiota transplants to families of autistic children argued in a B.C. courtroom Tuesday that naturopaths are 'not bound by science.'
A B.C. doctor who claims he can treat autism with fecal transplants has been under investigation for more than two years on suspicion of making false claims, engaging in improper business relationships and violating federal drug policies, according to court documents.
The use of so-called notices of liability threatening consequences over COVID-19 measures has made the jump from fringe anti-vaccine groups to health professionals but that doesn't mean they have any legal value, according to experts in the law.
A naturopath who charges parents of autistic children thousands of dollars for pills or enemas made from human feces has been accused of producing those capsules from his nephews' stool in a basement suite in Abbotsford, B.C., according to court filings.
