 * Thanks - the NY Times article that is quoted has the following that is the source. The information provided in Wikipedia on this subject as is very slanted to one point of view without offering the opponents point of view on the subject.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/13/health/13auti.html His opponents dismiss him as “Dr. Proffit” because he received millions in royalties for his RotaTeq vaccine. One group he criticizes harshly in the book is Generation Rescue, which advocates treating autistic children with wheat- and dairy-free diets, vitamins and chelation to remove mercury from the body. Ms. McCarthy, her companion, the actor Jim Carrey, and Deirdre Imus, wife of the radio host, are all on its board.


 * J. B. Handley, who founded Generation Rescue in 2005, rejected Dr. Offit’s attacks, saying: “We have hundreds of fully recovered children. I’m very frustrated that Dr. Offit, who’s never treated an autistic child, is spending his time trying to refute the reality of biomedical recovery.”

In addition, please see http://www.ageofautism.com/2010/04/ipaul-offit-admits-he-has-no-expertise-in-autism-so-why-does-media-turn-to-him.html Please see this as well with additional facts. http://www.ageofautism.com/2010/04/ipaul-offit-admits-he-has-no-expertise-in-autism-so-why-does-media-turn-to-him.html Kp mlist (talk) 16:52, 23 May 2010 (UTC) KP
 * The New York Times is definitely a useful source, although we need to be careful to honestly represent the source's content. Age of Autism is absolutely not an appropriate source, especially for a biographical article (see our policy on biographical articles for more). MastCell Talk 23:41, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
