Mercury levels, metabolism in infants receiving vaccines with thiomersal

This article evaluates the levels of mercury found in the blood and stool (with the stool levels reflective of excretion) in 2 and 6 month olds. The study states that vaccination does not raise blood levels above “safe” levels. A few things to consider here… First, would anyone out there like to show their faith in the Federal beaurocracy’s “safe” levels by voluntarily taking in enough mercury to stay at these levels for at least one month? Next, vaccinations are supposed to be helpful to the infants, correct? So why would we use any mercury, which is a known and potent neurotoxin, in something designed to protect? I don’t care who says it’s safe–it damn well shouldn’t be in there. Keep in mind that the only reason thiomersal is used (other than additional profit) is to extend the shelf life of larger vials.

THE USE OF MERCURY IN THIMEROSAL CONTAINING VACCINES IS INEXCUSABLE – (08-25-08)

Mercury Levels in Newborns and Infants after Receipt of Thimerosal Containing Vaccines

The topic of vaccination is always a hotly contested one. Many pediatricians will not keep a patient in the practice if they are not fully vaccinated. As with any other topic, the answer usually lies somewhere in between. Links between autism, allergies, autoimmune conditions and asthma are of concern for patients.

Doctors say the studies do not support the links. But, studies are always done in a vacuum; real life physiology, however, is not. The development of autism and immune system dysfunctions are not caused by single agents, but rather by the entire breadth of compounds a developing infant is and is NOT exposed to.

That being said, the use of mercury in Thimerosal is inexcusable. Period. Whomever thought that there would be any safe level of a potent neurotoxin like mercury injected into a newborn should be shot. Point blank. Then throw in other physiological problems common in infants today like constipation (which allows more time for mercury that the body is trying to eliminate to be re-absorbed), low phytonutrient intake, near universal use of antibiotics with no concern for normal flora, in-utero exposures to toxic chemicals and you’ve got a physiological time bomb waiting to explode.

Add in heavy vaccination (for many self-limiting diseases like chicken pox) which is WELL documented to skew the cytokine balance to a Th2 profile (run THAT one by your local pediatrician) and it’s no wonder autism is on the rise.
