I began researching vaccines and related health issues in 1998. I was one of the first to write features suggesting that vaccines could be harmful as well as effective and despite strong resistance from the British press, I continue to look at the controversy over vaccines and autism.

I have written about the huge increase in child food allergies and debated whether our children are being needlessly drugged for psychological disorders like ADHD.

My most recent features in The Daily Mirror and The Daily Mail, have looked at how biomedical intervention can help children with autism, and at the continuing campaign to persuade the government to provide more help for people and children with autism.

My features appear in many publications, but I prefer higher circulation newspapers and magazines as they reach a wider, more diverse audience. National newspapers I've written for include, The Times, The Observer, The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Daily Mirror, Daily Express, The Sun, Mail On Sunday, Sunday Mirror, News of the World, Sunday Express.
