Mercury Wars…good news…bad news. Vaccines Are Not Mercury Free
If our Government is to be believed then we are not going to see Thimerosal in vaccines from now on. However in the last few months we have discovered that thimerosal-free does not mean ‘mercury free' in USA vaccines and, in all probability, UK vaccines. A charity in the USA has bought thimerosal free-vaccines and had them analysed. Guess what? … They contain mercury.
One of the world's top mercury specialists, Prof. B Haley, investigated, after being consulted, and discovered that in order to save money the vaccines companies still make their vaccines with thimerosal and then try to filter it out afterwards. This results in mercury being left behind because it sticks to the proteins in the vaccine. So if you think stopping the use of thimerosal will stop autism…think again!
Our children are still being poisoned by the back door by greedy corporations. Some people would say they are trying to prove that taking thimerosal out of vaccines doesn't affect autism rates. This would mean they are not sued and in time could go back to using thimerosal – and to maximising profits.
This is an extract from the formal press release:
After much public controversy surrounding the mercury content of childhood vaccinations, Health Advocacy in the Public Interest (HAPI) raised $500 to have four vaccines tested for heavy metal content. The vials were sent to Doctor's Data, an independent lab which specialises in heavy metal testing.
Many manufacturers voluntarily began producing supposed "mercury free" vaccines in 1999. Some product inserts currently claim that a "trace" amount of mercury still exists in the final product but that the amount has been greatly reduced. Others claim to be producing completely mercury free products.
During an investigation into the mercury issue, HAPI learned that Thimerosal, a 50% mercury compound, is still being used to produce most vaccines and that the manufacturers are simply "filtering it out" of the final product. However, according to Boyd Haley, PhD, Chemistry Department Chair, University of Kentucky , mercury binds to the antigenic protein in the vaccine and cannot be completely, 100% filtered out.
All four vaccine vials tested contained mercury despite manufacturer claims that two of the vials were completely mercury free. All four vials also contained aluminium, one nine times more than the other three, which tremendously enhances the toxicity of mercury causing neuronal death in the brain.
Mercury and Autism
The mercury content of routine childhood vaccinations has been linked to the current autism epidemic as well as numerous other neurological disorders affecting children today. Currently, one in six children is affected in some way and one in 250 children is diagnosed as autistic, compared to one in 10,000 prior to mercury-containing vaccines.
It is the position of Dr. Haley as well as HAPI that if mercury can be detected in any vaccine using standard instrumentation, the content should be disclosed in the product insert and manufacturers should not be allowed to call the product "mercury free".
Golden rule…make sure your child is vaccinated from a single dose vial because multi-dose vials contain thimerosal. And get your GP to confirm that the vaccine is also ‘mercury free'. Insist on it. Also make as many people aware of your concerns as possible.
Finally www.melisa.org is offering a test which should tell you if your child will be susceptible to Autism.
