SCIENTISTS TO RELEASE NEW AUTISM FINDINGS AT JULY 23RD PRESS CONFERENCE IN DCIn

Pursuit of White House Conference on Autism Rise, Parents Hope New Science Will

Spark Bush Administration's Interest in National EpidemicWashington, DC-- On

Wednesday, July 23rd, scientists, physicians and parents of autistic children

will gather on Capitol Hill for the " Know the Cause, Find the Cure " press

conference. The event will take place in the Rayburn Office Building, Room 2203,

from 10:00 am. to11:00 a.m.Independent scientists and physicians will be on-hand

to announce important new findings on the autism rise, and groups attending the

press conference say they will ask the Bush Administration, FDA, and CDC why the

number-one medical crisis affecting America¡¦s children today, estimated to

cost tax-payers over $300 Billion in the next decade, has seemingly been

ignored. President Bush will also be asked for a third time to hold a White

House Conference in order to create a crisis

plan.Immediately following the press conference, scientists and physicians will

stay for an in-depth science presentation to members of Congress, Senators and

their health staff. Scientists and physicians include: David Geier, Mark Geier,

M.D., Jeff Bradstreet, M.D., James B. Adams, Ph.D., Boyd Haley (Ph.D.), and Jeff

Segal, M.D. Other speakers will include Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN),

Congressman Dave Weldon (R-FL), Lyn Redwood, President, Safe Minds and Scott

Bono, Advisory Board Member, The Autism Autoimmunity Project.Autism Spectrum

Disorder (ASD) now affects approximately 1 in 150 American children and is still

growing according to a recent Centers for Disease Control investigation„oup

from 1 in 10,000 in 1990. In 1999, the FDA stated that mercury exposure from

infant vaccines may have exceeded federal safety guidelines. In 2001, the

Institute of Medicine released a report suggesting the link between autism and

Thimerosal is " biologically plausible. " Many thought the rise

in autism cases was due to better reporting, but a recent study conducted by

the MIND Institute concluded that the rise is real and not the result of better

diagnostic measures, migration or broader diagnosis guidelines.For more
