Tuesday

I'll see if I can track it down...

Here's the first one I found:
https://people.com/what-is-leucovorin-the-supplement-rfk-jr-claims-treats-autism-11814634

"During a press conference on Monday, Sept. 22, President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the FDA will approve the drug leucovorin, a folinic acid supplement.

Kennedy touted it as an “exciting therapy that may benefit large numbers of children who suffer from autism.”

Leucovorin is a form of vitamin B first used in the 1950s to treat the side effects of chemotherapy. The F.D.A. issued an official notice saying it was approving the tablet form of the folinic acid drug to help with symptoms for a subset of children with autism who have “cerebral folate deficiency.”

"Some have raised issues with the potential for the supplement's recommendation to financially benefit some within the government. The medication is sold by Dr. Mehmet Oz’s supplement company iHerb; Dr. Oz holds a government position, overseeing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services."
