Health Minister warns against ‘scam’ autism treatment

A “scam” autism treatment at clinics in Cork and Dublin is charging thousands of euro for what it says is a stem-cell-based procedure. The Irish Examiner has alerted Health Minister, Simon Harris, and the health product watchdog, to the ‘treatment’, and both have warned the public not to fall for the scam.

One mother says she was quoted treatment for thousands of euro, which would involve flying her children to Serbia for invasive surgery. The Irish Examiner started making inquiries about the Autism Regenerative Centre last week.
