In a
podcast with Gary Brecka, who describes himself as a longevity expert, Mr. Kennedy vowed to end what he called the Food and Drug Administration’s war with alternative medicine. He said that would include
stem cells, vitamins, peptides and chelation therapy, which involves removing heavy metals from the blood.
“If you want to take an experimental drug — you can do that, you ought to be able to do that,” Mr. Kennedy said.
“And of course you’re going to get a lot of
charlatans, and you’re going to get people who have bad results,” he added. “And ultimately, you can’t prevent that either way. Leaving the whole thing in the hands of pharma is not working for us.”
Mr. Kennedy cited
his own experience at a clinic in
Antigua, where he said he received a stem cell treatment that “enormously” eased his neurological condition, spasmodic dysphonia, which affects his voice and has few treatment options.
