A Heads-Up From MBW

Mary Beth Williams is currently swamped with her preparatory work for the Maine caucus, but passed on the news that "a group of researchers from Northeastern, U of Nebraska, Tufts and John Hopkins released a study in which they not only link autism and ADHS to mercury and other heavy metals, they provided proof for the mechanism whereby such toxins effect children." She adds, "The story is even more significant, as the Institutes of Medicine hold their annual meeting on Monday, February 9th, to review the current state of autism/thimerosal research." As she's asked folks to "help publicize that meeting, which the IOM, Bush Administration and Big Pharma would like to keep under wraps," I hope the link helps. It has details on how to register to attend or participate via a live audio webcast.
