Michael Savage and Autism

If he believes in homeopathy, he demonstrates an inability to understand the difference between science and snake oil.

Subbie, homeopathy is just one of the areas of studies, experience and knowledge which Savage has engaged in.I'm not into homeopathy perse but likely there are some benefits derived from some aspects of it if one understands it and is knowledgeable as to proper application of it. As with prescription drugs, missaplication = snake oil, except that the side effects of prescription drugs are usually far more risky.

If you can find a single valid study (double blind, etc.) finding any benefits to homeopathy, I'll be stunned. As far as I've ever heard, the only "benefit" is a lighter wallet.

Moreover, it speaks to Michael Savage's grasp on reality.Anyone who can write books on the delusion that is homeopathy is living in a different world if you know what I mean.How can this guy say anything about autism when his opinions on medical treatment haven't even caught up to the 20th century let alone the 21st?

Unfortunately, while in the military, you can't sue them per contractual agreement. Somebody else can sue on your behalf, however. You can also file grievances, but going up against some Brass may get yourself in a sling. That is precisely what is going on with him. While he is sociable, he lacks the same kind of common sense or sense of humor that most every one else would adapt to. But he is incredibly intelligent and very knowledgeable. He is respectful and meticulous, but he lacks social graces. He also seems largely incapable of thinking outside of the box. He is good at remembering the rules and regulations, but can't seem to grasp why such rules and regulations were instituted in the first place. So he tends to see things in black and white as a result. He therefore can never be in a position of leadership, at least not militarily.But like I said, he is content to stay at his current rank and to continue doing what he does. It suits him because he is a creature of habit, which no doubt his condition has something to do with it. I say they should let him stay in.

“I know where I am and who I am. I'm on the brink of disillusionment, on the eve of bitter sweet. I'm perpetually one step away from either collapse or rebirth. I am exactly where I need to be. Either way I go towards rebirth, for a total collapse often brings a rebirth." -Andrew Jaramillo

I worked for 4 years for a charity that supported young adults with ASD and the general understanding of the disorder from the public is pretty poor in the uk (although to be fair that was in the late 90s).What I found was that we all have ASD traits at some level: the big problem ocurs with social learning. Most people (ironically) have a blind spot when trying to communicate with an autistic individual, often assuming that the words and phrases they use are universally understood (in implication, context etc).I was always careful of saying questions like "Would you do this, please?" as this would sometimes get interpreted as "Wood, you do this please". One is a question and one is an instruction to somebody called Wood.This leaves some autistic people appaer to 'get it' sometimes but not other times and in my experience this leads people to conclude that the autistic individual is being contrary or 'spoilt' as Savage implies.Obviously this is not true. But I can see why he may say the things he does: he is simply not sufficiently knowledgable in this subject area to comment intelligently.But then what can you expect from a know nothing know it all?

Echo that, but there us another benefit to homoeopathy; idiots with nothing really wrong with them can go and waste their time and money with a homoeopathic quack instead of wasting the time of real doctors. The problem starts when those who really are ill do the same...As for Savage, a belief in homoeopathy should bring up a warning flag. I would take anything this man said with a generous helping of salt.

It appears that you and some others here do not understand the science of homeopathy or how homeopatic methodology works.1. Homeopathic treatment is a very safe, cheap and effective means of treatment, often effecting relief in both acute and chronic ailments.
It has been effective when applied properly by trained practitioners in some chronic ailments which have been considered incurable by conventional medicine.2. My hay fever pills which are the most effective that I've ever found are homeopathic. They are relatively cheap remedies which I found on my own in our local health food outlet.3. Homeopathy works most effectively to strengthen and maintain a healthy immune system in the body holistically. It mimics the disease so as to stimulate the body's own immune system which in turn wards off the ailment. It is a simple scientific concept which makes logical sense as well.4. Children are agreeable to it since the medicine is usually administered as a sugary pill. Perhaps that's one reason why some mistakenly regard it as quack medicine.5. Homeopathic medicines are easy to administer. Homeopathic medicines are usually dispensed as sweet sugar pills, which are very easy to take. Due to this reason, children readily agree to take homeopathic remedies.6. Homeopathy, by enhancing the whole body's immune system, effects a more healthy body in general so as to eliminate the need to depend upon the $$$ medical establishment and to avoid some of their dangerous and $$$ practice.7. Being holistic, it does not require the need for multiple specialists in the various segments of health care.I'm sure that if Michael Savage were to grace us with his expertise on this he would be able to cite much more as to why the science on this is valid.Again, Michael Savage is a very intelligent fellow indeed. One can widen their knowledge and understanding by listening to him on a number of topics.

Really Buz? Care to provide statistics on reported side effects and complications from the alternative "health" industry?

It appears that you don't understand the function of a placebo.Homeopathy consists of diluting a medication tot he point where there is no longer a detectable amount of the active ingredient.If such a thing worked, then every time you drink a glass of water you should also give you the effects of any and all substances ever dissolved in it. Placebo. Demonstrate a reputable, peer-reviewed study in which homeopathic "medicine" was shown to have a significantly different effect than a sugar pill.It's no wonder it's safe and cheap - it is in most cases nothing more than a sugar pill. Your personal experiences amount to nothing, Buz. The result could be placebo, changing weather conditions, or any number of other factors even up to your own subjective inaccuracy in being able to tell the difference. Bullshit. It's diluted to the point where, if you had the volume of the Atlantic ocean in medication, the active ingredient would amount to a scant few drops. It's completely undetectable, and in most cases the chances of you actually ingesting even a single molecule of the "active ingredient" in a given pill are astronomically small. That's because they are sugar pills! Sugar pills, with no detectable active ingredient. That's right, the doctors who spend their lives learning and practicing tried-and-tested techniques of medicine under controlled and objectively verifiable circumstances are just out to get your money. The newagey college dropout hippy down the street selling snake oil obviously knows better than any silly doctor! Why pay more when they'll remove your appendix?! Save money and take a sugar pill for your appendicitis! Michael Savage is a radio talk-show host. In this case he is making comments regarding psychiatry, not nutrition. You notice how he says "in my opinion" whenever he says bullshit like this? That's because he knows that it's bullshit. You take what he says as gospel truth becasue he agrees with your other twisted and ignorant views and because he has a PhD. But Savage does not have a PhD in child psychology, and is completely unqualified to make the statements he made.Anyone who believes in homeopathy is an idiot. You're taking sugar pills, Buz, nothing more. It is objectively demonstrable to be nothing more than lies and flim-flam. And frankly I wish Savage could have his PhD revoked if he genuinely supports homeopathy, which consists of nothing more than a bunch of quack snake-oil salesmen making scads of money off of gullible little twits like you.

Homoeopathy is not science and I understand it only too well as it happens. However it is off topic and we are buggering up Ludo's thread about autism, which is an interesting topic and deserves better.With this in mind I have replied to your post in detail on the still open homoeopathy thread, here.
I would be very happy to discuss this with you further over on the appropriate thread, which might also be a better place to reply to Dr Jones and Rahvin.

I have had those moments (one of which i wont go into here, but always sends my mother into laughter). To have his mouth overload his rear lol.I'm surprised somebody hasn't beaen the tar out of him since starting his radio show.
