PITTSBURGH, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Autism Center of Pittsburgh

The conference will focus on the relationship between vaccines, the

top experts on the subjects of nutrition, environmental toxins, and the
relationship between autism and vaccines.

David Kirby, the New York-based investigative journalist and author of the NY
Times Bestseller, "Evidence of Harm, Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism

developments in what has become perhaps the most contentious medical debate of
