He published a paper demonstrating over 6 times more mercury in children with autism than healthy controls. He is also the first to report and publish the detection of MV in the Spinal Fluid of children with autism following the MMR vaccine. His papers are titled, “Detection of Measles Virus Genomic RNA in Cerebrospinal Fluid in Children with Regressive Autism, “Biological Evidence of Significant Vaccine Related Side-effects Resulting in Neurodevelopmental Disorders” and “Case Controlled Study of Mercury Burden in Children with Autism” Jeff became an active advocate for his child, Matthew, age 9, and other autistic children after his son regressed into autism following vaccination. He also serves on the Biomedical Advisory Board of the National Autism Association.

Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, a Florida family practitioner with ties to families who homeschool their children for religious reasons, told Age of Autism he has proposed such a study in that group. "I said I know I can tap into this community and find you large numbers of unvaccinated homeschooled," said Bradstreet, "and we can do simple prevalence and incidence studies in them, and my gut reaction is that you're going to see no autism in this group." http://www.upi.com/ConsumerHealthDaily/view.php?StoryID=20060728-111605-3532r
