Writing for the Associated Press, Dan Nephin reported that charges against Dr. A. T. Nadama related to the death during chelation therapy of a young boy with Autism have been dropped.
Criminal charges were dropped Tuesday against a doctor accused of causing the death of a 5-year-old autistic boy by incorrectly administering the wrong drug for him.
Dr. Roy Kerry was trying to use chelation therapy on Abubakar Tariq Nadama in 2005. Chelation is an approved treatment for acute heavy metal poisoning and while some people believe it is a promising treatment for autism, the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not agree.
