A Victoria naturopath who controversially used rabies-infected saliva to treat a child has surrendered her licence with the College of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C. However, Anke Zimmermann will continue to work as an unregulated homeopath.
The college investigated whether Zimmermann “met the standard of care in her treatment of the young boy with lyssinum,” Howard Greenstein, the college’s registrar and CEO, said in a statement.
The college also conducted an investigation into Zimmermann’s use of CEASE therapy, an acronym for “complete elimination of autism spectrum expression.” Advocates of the therapy claim that homeopathy can be used to eliminate autism, based on the premise that autism is caused by vaccines, something that has no basis in scientific evidence.
The college investigated whether Zimmermann’s practices were in line with their immunization standard, which says naturopaths must not provide patients with anti-immunization materials, nor can they counsel patients against immunizations without a properly documented medical rationale.

The good news is, she’s been certified by the Board of Chicken Bone Shakers and Voodoo Practitioners.
I would have looked into what tv programs he was watching.
Reminds me of the movie I am Legend.
Is the doctor under fire soley for using this unapproved course of treatment, or because her patient went on to contract a rabies virus?
That’s a very risky method.
I know a few parents of young children who have not received many if any vaccinations. Their biggest objection is often centered around the custom of giving a child multiple vaccines all at once. Some are open to providing a few vaccines to a child over their first few years, but not
in a Grand Slam type of manner.
Good idea.
At that age I did not even know what a werewolf was.
Wolves yes, but not werewolf.
Nothing in the news sources suggests the child contracted rabies. A doctor is quoted saying that patients “could potentially be at risk” of contracting rabies from this product.
If I correctly understand all this, the child’s behavior was considered to be an organic (rather than psychological) result of a dog bite years earlier, and the rabies-compound was supposed to remedy this.
I don’t see why they thought he was a problem. Just have his birth certificate redone to say “wolf-boy,” and he’s fixed for life.
I can’t recall when I came across the concept of werewolves, but it wouldn’t have been before I could read, which wasn’t at 4. However, aside from the werewolf thing, it’s perfectly normal for a 4-year-old boy to annoy everyone around him by deciding to act like an animal.
The case of mistaken explanations. In the rare case of vaccines doing damage to a baby’s brain: the brain cells are killed and the baby is then retarded(not autistic). With autism, the baby’s brain has about 4 times more nerve cells connections than an adult. With most babies the extra cell connections fall away after about 4 days. With an autism baby the extra nerve cell brain connections do not fall away and the brain has too much input to cope with the outside world. Summery: real autism too many brain cell connections. Vaccine killing of brain cells results in retardation of not enough brain cells period.
“But his hair was perfect!”
Don’t forget. Only fully licensed medical doctors are allowed to sell snake oil.
Giving adult level psych med cocktails to young children for example. Or using ECT on anyone.
So, ah, what is the purpose of the license? Just to collect tax money I guess.
The werewolf thing throws me a bit.
Good one.
When my oldest son was 17, he was very into his hairstyle, as were the other older boys on our swim team. When one of them got up on the starting block and primped his ‘do, the team would call, “Aaah-ooooo!”
