The Geiers should try out their 'protocol' on themselves. They're preying on both the parents and the children.

!!!!!!!!

Off label use of very strong pharmaceuticals with permanent repercussions that seem like they could be similar to sterilization or worse.

Classy, people. Fucking classy.

(sorry, that drove me to profanity there. horrifying.)

This is the most revolting thing I've ever read. I'd castrate those sods!

I'd love their definition as to at what level masturbation is an unwanted behaviour...

[idiotgrrl]

At the level at which it irritates the parents or caretakers.

Yeah. The Geiers' papers are... rather frequently cited by the anti-vax crowd.

Whoa. Creepy.

I think I would have benefited from treatment for precocious puberty, since I was just barely within the 'non-precocious' range (training bra when I was 9.5 years old, period at 10.5) and delayed puberty would have given me a chance to reach a normal adult height (I'm 5'0", which is 2"-5" shorter than the other women in my family), but not from 10 times the normal medication dosage for treating precocious puberty! I smell mega-lawsuits down the line when the people treated have development and fertility issues.
