MOUNTING EVIDENCE suggests that Thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative in children's vaccines, may be responsible for the exponential growth of autism, attention deficit disorder, speech delays, and other childhood neurological disorders now epidemic in the United States.

mercury/autism
Exactly two years ago Robert F. Kennedy Jr, an environmental attorney, son of RFK and nephew of JFK, published his article "Deadly Immunity" in Rolling Stone and salon.com simultaneously [
http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0616-31.htm ]. It showed the irresponsible use of mercury in vaccines at levels far higher than the US Environmental Agency's safety guidelines for adults. This article was based on his extensive study "Tobacco Science and the Thimerosal Scandal". It gives a lot of links and has the major research on autism, mercury toxicity. Kennedy describes the scandalous cover-up of vaccine makers, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and even representatives of pediatric associations.
Kennedy's article never became news in Ireland whose major industry is in the pharmaceutical and chemical sector, vaccine makers among them. Eli Lilly, the original producer of thimerosal is located in Kinsale, West Cork.
Not even the golden name helped to bring news of the truth to the country where the Kennedys' ancestral home is.
But where there's a Kennedy there is hope.
Let's spread the word that most cases of autism can be improved, some drastically, by using chelation agents to get the mercury out of the system.

Here's some good news. A recent hearing gives new hope for parents of autistic children. The website Voice of the Environment has one whole section on "Investigating the Autism Epidemic". An interview with Dr Boyd Haley "Biomarkers supporting mercury toxidity as the major exacerbator of neurological illness, recent evidence via urinary porphyrin tests" Medical Veritas 3 (2006) 921-934 is available online at:
