The Age of Autism,
Mercury, Medicine and a Manmade Epidemic
No person concerned with toxic chemicals or the health of our children should miss this event! Authors Olmsted and Blaxill unveil how mankind has unwittingly poisoned itself with mercury for half a millennium. They make a compelling case that the latest tragedy is the autism epidemic. What they found in 7 of the 11 original cases of autism will transform the autism environmental debate. Their discoveries and connections, taken together, cannot be ignored. If you are a health care provider, an educator, a relative or a friend of someone with autism, you owe it to yourself to understand this issue. The event is free and sponsored by True Health Medical Center and Talk About Curing Autism (TACA) Chicago.
DAN OLMSTED is a veteran journalist who was an original staff member and Assistant National Editor at USA Today. He
later became Senior Editor for USA Weekend and United Press International in Washington. He began investigating the autism epidemic and wrote The Age of Autism column for UPI from 2005 to 2007. In November 2007, he co-founded Age of Autism (ageofautism.com), the first daily Web newspaper of the autism epidemic. He is the co-author, with Mark Blaxill, of The Age of Autism, published in September 2010 by Thomas Dunne Books.
MARK BLAXILL is the father of a daughter diagnosed with autism, editor at large for Age of Autism, a director of SafeMinds and
a frequent speaker at autism conferences.
