BACKGROUND Dr. Bradstreet has evaluated over 2000 children with neurological disorders, and he directs a school for such children where his responsibilities include supervising Occupational Therapist s, Speech , language pathologists, and Applied Behavioral Analysts . Dr. Bradstreet received his medical degree at the University Of South Florida . He underwent residency training in OB/GYN at Wilford Hall United States Air Force Medical Center. While in the Air Force, he was trained in Toxicology and Environmental Health . His duties as an officer included responsibility for military personnel who had exposure to a wide variety of toxins, including Mercury . Bradstreet proclaims himself a ' Christian family physician'. According to his website, "A simple, but profound verse kept drawing him into greater understanding of the real meaning of health. The verse is : 'But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well'." ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE PRACTITIONER Bradstreet's alternative medical treatments for autism, dismissed by the medical community as "unproven," include therapeutic use of , though Diet ary deficits of such essential nutrients are well known to induce or exacerbate Disease . Secretin has been shown to have positive effects on autistic children, but not to a degree recognized as statistically significant by mainstream medical practitioners (see Codex Alimentarius ). CONTROVERSIAL RESEARCH Bradstreet has written three peer reviewed papers regarding the relationship between Thimerosal containing vaccines (TCVs), developmental disorders and biological markers for mercury-susceptibility. Bradstreet has collaborated with a number of prominent vaccine and autism researchers, including Dr. '', Vol 9 No 2, 2004). {Link without Title} CALL FOR RESEARCH ON UNVACCINATED HOMESCHOOL CHILDREN In light of what he believes to be the possible association between vaccinations and his son's autism, Bradstreet's daughter has been Homeschool ed. In the United States , some 2 million children are homeschooled, a decision attributed by many parents in part to their Religious beliefs. Another reason often given by parents for homeschooling is their wish to avoid having their children vaccinated, but the number of those unvaccinated is unclear. In an interview with Investigative Journalist Dan Olmsted , who has reported on two other unvaccinated populations, the Amish and Homefirst Health Services , Bradstreet voiced his opinion that the homeschool population needs to be studied by scientists. "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."
