I have talked to some Drs about this..	DCBob	Jun 2012	#38

In addition to being off-topic your post is fiction, hence, no link.	proverbialwisdom	Jun 2012	#61
Fact.	LeftyMom	Jun 2012	#71
Well, the ONLY mention of Kerri Rivera @ the AoA website is found within a single comment to a post.	proverbialwisdom	Jun 2012	#76
MMS as been promoted on AoA since at least 2009.	LeftyMom	Jun 2012	#77
Anyone reading the archives of the AoA website realizes that your claim is blatantly false.	proverbialwisdom	Jun 2012	#84
Like I said, 2009. And it's still being talked about in glowing terms as recently as a week ago.	LeftyMom	Jun 2012	#90

Preposterous. Harvard's pediatric GI MDs invent the field, co-author text books, rewrite paradigms.	proverbialwisdom	Jun 2012	#92
more Wakefield advocates, more AoA nonsense	Godhumor	Jun 2012	#93
Try using AoA in its role as an autism news aggregator instead of as a primary source - dual roles.	proverbialwisdom	Jun 2012	#94
Not junk science??? The main hypothesis there is that vaccines cause autism!	Godhumor	Jun 2012	#95
