2012 AUTISM CONFERENCE WILL FOCUS ON LINK

BETWEEN AUTISM AND MERCURY IN VACCINES

CHICAGO, IL (5/24/12) --- Imagine learning that your son has been diagnosed

with autism. Now, imagine discovering that the autism resulted from mercury

poisoning caused by certain routine childhood vaccines.

That is the story Rev. K. Sykes, a United Methodist minister and the

President of the Coalition for Mercury-free Drugs (CoMeD), will convey when

she addresses the 2012 AutismOne/Generation Rescue Conference, being held

May 23-27 in Chicago, IL.

Sykes - who will speak at 8 a.m. this coming Friday, May 25 - will discuss

the hurt and healing both she and her son, Wesley, experienced because of

the mercury in his Thimerosal-preserved vaccines, which triggered Wesley's

autism. She will also describe her personal journey from learning the cause

of Wesley's autism to advocating that other children must be protected from

avoidable harm caused by vaccines containing the mercury-based compound

Thimerosal.

Thimerosal, which is 49% mercury by weight, continues to be used as a

preservative in vaccines and other drugs worldwide, despite the fact that it

is a human neurotoxin and that safer, less toxic alternatives are readily

available.

Joining Rev. Sykes at AutismOne will be her CoMeD colleagues, Dr. Mark R.

Geier and A. Geier, who will speak at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 25. The

Geiers will discuss how environmental exposures, particularly mercury, are

associated with autism and how targeted therapies can be used to treat

autism.

The Geiers recently returned to the United States from Chile, where they

worked with Navarro Brain, Vice President of the Chilean Senate,

to have legislation adopted that made Chile the first developing country to

curtail the use of mercury in vaccines.

According to CoMeD, numerous scientific studies and extensive peer-reviewed

scientific and medical papers have all concluded that Thimerosal poses a

significant health risk. Thimerosal manufacturers also acknowledge that it

can cause mild to severe mental retardation in children.

The AutismOne/Generation Rescue Conference will focus on the bigger picture

of how so many children are receiving a diagnostic label of autism and how

autism can be treated. Conference participants also will discuss biomedical

and other strategies that can be implemented to help children move forward

and rise above the autism label.

The 2012 AutismOne/Generation Rescue Conference will be held at The Westin

Lombard Yorktown Center (70 Yorktown Shopping Center, Lombard, IL). For more
