On May 23rd we interviewed Dr. Richard Deth, PhD, who had just testified at the Omnibus Autism Proceeding in Washington D.C. the week before. Dr. Deth is a Professor of Pharmacology in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Northeastern University in Boston. His laboratory was first to discover a novel signaling activity of D4 dopamine receptors, involving dopamine-stimulated phospholipid methylation. This signaling mechanism is highly sensitive to neurodevelopmental toxins and to agents that cause oxidative stress. He has also done extensive research into the toxicity of thimerosal and the role it plays in causing this oxidative stress and the role it could therefore be playing in Autism. We think you will find what he has to say very interesting in regards to Mercury and Autism. Attached is a video highlighting some of what he had to say.
