BC on Autism 18: Gettin' the RNA Out (of yeast)
Q: Why would anyone want to get the RNA out of yeast so they can ingest it?
A: I don't know, but I know it won't cure Autism.
Here's how to do it...
Running time: ~3 minutes
As a scientist and a parent of a child on the spectrum, I wear many hats thoughout the day. I believe the pursuit of understanding the roots of autism and other neurological disorders affecting children to be one of the most important things one might do with their professional and free time. Comments and debate are welcome, abuse is not.

You mean I too can profit from selling yeast RNA? Wow? Can I brew it by the bathtub full? I promise I'll clean out the tub with detergent, first!
I prefer using yeast for its two legal purposes... making bread and making beer. Anything like this 'curing autism' with it is bollocks.
Nice vid, BC :)

camille - yes, you too can profit with bathtub biochemistry. I wonder if an Irish Spring soap ring could be used as a secret natural ingredient?
David - mmmmm... beer. Good beer is one of the greatest failings of america, btw.
NM - that's terrible, let's hear more.
Maybe Shrek could help crack 'em open:
"# We hear farting sounds and accompanying bubbles as Shrek jumps into a pond, and he later belches across a torch to create a mini-fireball that lights a fire.
# A comment is made about strong gases coming from a character's butt." from a parental advisory during a review of Shrek (2001).
very interesting that you seem to have a lot of time on your hands to discredit Dr. Yasko? You say you have a child on the spectrum...just curious what your current protocol is to help your child (or any other child) get OFF the spectrum?? Thanks and much appreciated.
anon - I don't sell anything and I'm not in the biz of diagnosing someone's kid. If I were an entomologist and someone was selling extract of caterpillar, well I'd have a lot to say about that. As it is, I like RNA and when I see RNA science get distorted and abused for profit, well, I have something to say about that.
Re: our treatment plan - if our child has a fever, we treat the fever. I don't see any parallel to autism here especially since no one, and I mean no one, has identified a tissue, cellular, or molecular characteristic of autism.
I could call the things we do as a family, "treatments", but I prefer to call it "having fun" and "being a parent". See Joel's blog for details. Maybe I ought to do a vid on it. That would absolve my guilt over having not done a paper in a long while.
