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 mechanisms

* How the body detoxifies mercury

* The use of N-Acetylcysteine (or NAC) in aiding the detoxification

pathway within the body

 

Ordinarily, 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 ex

 

posure 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 breaks

* Caspase-3 activation

* Membrane damage

* Cell 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.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

 

I've posted many articles on this site about the perils of vaccines --

specifically the presence of thimerosal -- including extensive features by

contributing editors and a board-certified neurosurgeon, Dr. Russell

Blaylock and Dr. Sherri Tenpenny.

 

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.
