Parents urged to be cautious as Bulgarian clinic offers autism ‘cure’

Irish parents are sending children to a clinic in Bulgaria for dangerous treatments that “cure” autism.

The clinic which operates out of a hospital in the capital Sofia and runs this weekend, is advertised on social media as promoting the use of bleach enemas and unregulated blood products on children.

Discredited medic Andrew Wakefield, who links the MMR vaccine to autism, said Irish parents are among those who bring their children to the clinic.
