How the Mercury in Vaccines Can Kill Your Baby

[Guest guest]

How the Mercury in Vaccines Can Kill Your Baby Thimerosal, a preservative developed by Eli Lily, was once widely used in vaccines. That was until it was identified as the source of the largest exposure to mercury in the United States in children under 18 months of age and mandated to be removed from vaccines. However, amazingly, despite its well-documented potential toxic effects, this harmful preservative remains present in the flu vaccine, which is given to pregnant women, the elderly and children.A team of researchers examined the toxicity of thimerosal within the body including neurons. They explored:Neurotoxic mechanismsHow the body detoxifies mercuryThe use of N-Acetylcysteine (or NAC) in aiding the detoxification pathway within the bodyOrdinarily, the brain and liver can manufacture enough glutathione (an essential antioxidant and naturally occurring tripeptide made of cysteine, glutamate, and glycine) to protect your body from exposure to various heavy metals, including mercury. When this critical compound is depleted in your body, however, the mercury that is left can bind with cellular proteins, can lead to toxic damage. Studies have indicated low incredibly tiny concentrations of thimerosal induced:DNA strand breaksCaspase-3 activationMembrane damageCell death Researchers also found that higher concentrations of thimerosal lead to a greater number of cells that were killed, and the nerve cell response occurred with only a three-hour exposure.

Thimerosal, which contains almost 50 percent ethyl mercury by weight, should have been removed from vaccines over six years ago, when the EPA first mandated its removal. But due to mislabeling and other problems its presence is still being felt. So much so that even package inserts, which are required to detail exactly what is in a vaccine, may not even be accurate. This means your physician may not even be aware that a toxic additive such as thimerosal is in the vaccine, For this reason, before making a decision on vaccinating your children, I strongly urge you, to do your family a major favor by reviewing the many side effects and risks involved in being subjected to this potentially life-threatening preservative. Making the effort could mean all the difference between life and death. Thus, an essential resource to aid you in learning more about this vitally important vaccine issue, including how to protect your children, is Vaccines: What CDC Documents and Science Reveal, a two-hour video by world-renowned vaccine expert Dr. Sherri Tenpenny. The video is the culmination of Dr. Tenpenny's three-year investigation into the true story behind vaccines. The facts on several crucial areas are covered including: How vaccines can cause illnesses including autoimmune diseases, allergies, ear infections, and more The very real link between vaccines and developmental learning and behavioral disorders in children How vaccines have never been proven safe The ingredients and contaminants in vaccines and why they're detrimental to your health How vaccine studies are seriously flawed If you are a parent, a medical practitioner, or otherwise interested in how to exercise your freedom of choice to bypass vaccines, please also consider Dr. Tenpenny's insightful cassette tape, The Dangers of Vaccines, and How You Can Legally Avoid Them which is a 90 minute teleconference interview I conducted with her.If, for whatever reason, you are not yet convinced of the value and safety in avoiding vaccines, you should NOT let your child receive vaccines from the multi-dose vials. These vaccines still have thimerosol in them. Inform the physician or nurse that you want the single-dose vaccine container and request that you want to actually witness them removing it from the vial and would like the empty vial to take home with you as proof that your child did not receive the mercury-contaminated vaccine. This way you will at least avoid one of the problems with the vaccines.Related Articles:Thimerosal Battle Heads to "Vaccine Court"Flu Vaccines for Children Still Contain MercuryUpdate on Mercury Poisoning from VaccineSafe Minds’ Assessment of the Thimerosal-Containing Vaccine StudyMercury in Childhood Vaccines: What Did the Government Know? http://www.mercola.com/2005/jan/19/mercury_vaccines.htm
