Mercury is a highly toxic substance yet we freely inject

quantities of it into helpless infants, we plaster people's teeth with

a metal mixture that contains up to 50% of the poisonous stuff, and we

allow emission of thousands of tons of mercury vapors into the air and

into rivers every year, which we then ingest with fish and other foods.

 

At times it would seem that we may be hell-bent on a

self-destructive course.

 

You think I am exaggerating?

 

Mark Sircus of the International Medical Veritas Association has

sent a highly interesting summary of new information on a mechanism

that could explain how mercury may indeed be to blame for all these

diverse illnesses. Read the article here...

Mercury is Rising Everywhere

If mercury is the source of autism, it may be for Alzheimer's

disease and diabetes as well as a long list of other neurological

disorders.

 

There are some concerns starting to be expressed about the fact

that mercury in emissions is being proposed as another cause of

autism. Some vaccine people are feeling like this is a smoke screen

for the issues of thimerosal causing autism, and will diminish their

stance on that issue. But this could not be further from the truth.

Mercury is toxic from whatever source it arrives into our bodies

though some forms do seem more dangerous than others. Those who have

dedicated their lives to the vaccine question must realize that the

source matters not as much as the damage it causes. All sources must

be taken into account and stopped if we are to protect our children

from harm.

 

Children's systems are under a broad mercury attack from each

source and type of mercury. The age when exposed, the mode of

contamination, and each person's metabolism and biological defenses

combine setting the stage for different pathologies.

 

For a while it was assumed that the greatest source of mercury

poisoning and thus source of autism was the mercury in vaccines but,

according to Dr. Gary Gordon, one of the original founders of

chelation therapy, " There are children getting autism who did not

receive injectable mercury. " Dr. Raymond Palmer, of the University of

Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, has studied the

contribution of the huge tonnage of mercury being put into the

atmosphere and found, in studying school districts in Texas that, " On

average, for each 1,000 pounds of environmentally released mercury,

there was a 43 percent increase in the rate of special education

services and a 61 percent increase in the rate of autism. " A

Harvard study, commissioned and paid for by the EPA, concluded also in

early 2005 that mercury controls similar to those the EPA originally

proposed could save nearly $5 billion a year through reduced

neurological and cardiac harm.[ii] What Harvard is saying, and what

the EPA purposely ignored, is that this 5 billion represents a

staggering amount of suffering, any they are measuring only a fraction

of the total mercury being released into the global winds.

Doctors and patients alike need to be well advised that all

efforts to derail the monumental chemical buildup have failed and thus

people will increasingly be showing the direct effects of chemical

poisoning in their signs and symptoms.

Dr. Rashid Buttar

Dr. Palmer found that those districts with the highest levels of

mercury in the environment also had the highest rates of special

education students with autism diagnosis. This would explain why

California has the highest autism rates. California is known to have

the highest environmental burden of mercury of any state in the

country. Part of the reason for that probably is the mercury blowing

in on the high winds from China where they have been putting up new

coal burning mercury polluting electrical plants at a fantastic pace.

China spews 600 tons of mercury into the air each year, accounting for

a great part of the world's non-natural emissions.[iii] Mankind is

just beginning to wake up to a nightmare unseen in his darkest dreams,

the Hun Hordes of Mercury.

Crematoria warned over mercury: Crematoria contribute 16% of

the UK's mercury emissions. Strict rules for crematoria to limit

mercury pollution caused when tooth fillings are vaporized have been

announced by ministers.

BBC News World Edition Jan 10, 2005

Mercury is a dramatically rising tide. Tomorrow we will wake up to

a world with 15 to 20 tons more of it. Considering what has already

been released into the environment this past century, and considering

a ton is a million grams and a gram could potentially kill a human

being if vaporized directly into the lungs, it is not too hard to see

that an invisible cloud of mercury radiation is blanketing and

contaminating the earth and effecting the most vulnerable part of our

race, our children. Researchers from all over the globe are posting

information about the chemical hazard that sits like a background

radiation cloud across our once pristine planet. Dr. Dick Deth from

Northeastern University obviously was of similar mind as Dr. Palmer

and medical scientists at Harvard saying, " The recent increase in the

incidence of autism led us to speculate that environmental exposures,

including vaccine additives might contribute to the triggering of this

disorder. "

One estimate of the total annual global mercury input to the

atmosphere from all sources including natural, anthropogenic, and

oceanic emissions in 1995 was 5,500 tons.[iv]

US Environmental Protection Agency

The FDA says that 2 to 3 thousand tons[v] of metallic mercury is

being released into the air from manmade sources. Chemical

radioactivity is an appropriate phrase to describe what the situation

is with mercury and other chemicals that are causing disease rates to

soar through the stratosphere. And what has already arrived gets worse

with the hundreds of millions of tons of toxic chemicals that get

produced and added to the human biosphere each year. Everyone now has

to live and breathe in the context of a dangerous chemical cloud with

radioactive like fallout that penetrates our human skin. Having failed

to destroy ourselves with radioactive clouds from atomic bombs we have

managed to muddle through and threaten ourselves through chemical

means. Mercury pollution specifically is the principal immediate

threat that, similar to radioactive substances after an atomic war, is

penetrating through everything. In fact, the FDA itself says, " Mercury

is everywhere! " [vi]

Mercury contamination can have effects similar to lead

poisoning, effectively resulting in a loss of intelligence. The higher

children's blood mercury levels are, the poorer their language skills,

attention span and information-processing.

According to the Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) about

100 million Americans, more than one-third of the population, suffer

from some form of chronic disease like asthma, diabetes, cancer, heart

and kidney disease or arthritis. Almost 100 percent of these people

are suffering from chemical poisoning with mercury poison taking the

lead in breaking through their biological defenses. In reality we have

a tidal wave of effects that are only just beginning to be seen. The

average adult inhales many thousands of trillions of mercury atoms a

day from a mouth full of amalgam, fish provide trillions more, the air

more, and in children, vaccines provide one day surges of vast

trillions of mercury molecules in the form of ethyl-mercury, which is

vastly more toxic than metallic mercury. Insulin is directly assaulted

as are insulin receptor sites and this is central to a broad range of

serious chronic disorders.

If you don't have enough insulin or the ability to respond to

insulin is impaired, then neurons will not function well and they

probably will die.

Dr. Suzanne de la Monte[vii]

Significant new discoveries about insulin may shed new light on

how obesity, type 2 diabetes, increases in autism, and Alzheimer's

disease all connect back to the same source, to mercury poisoning.

Early research and medical reason is just beginning to give us reason

to believe first thimerosal and dental fillings, and now the rising

tide of mercury pollution in the air, water and food could be involved

in all of these diseases leading to an epidemic of debilitating

disease the world has never known before. It has just been discovered

that insulin is produced in the brain and that Alzheimer's patients

have impaired insulin production in their brains.

Insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) and the neurotransmitter

dopamine both stimulated folate-dependent methylation pathways in

neuronal cells. At the same time they noted that compounds like

thimerosal, ethanol and metals (like lead and mercury) effectively

inhibited these same biochemical pathways at concentrations that are

typically found following vaccination or other sources of exposure.

Dr. Dick Deth

Equally vulnerable to mercury's ruin are the receptor tyrosine

kinases (RTKs) which are glycoproteins that transduce insulin's

extracellular signal to the cytoplasm of the cell. The effects of

insulin are mediated by the insulin receptor (specific RTK for

insulin). When insulin binds with its receptor the receptor activates

and recruits a whole chain of downstream signaling processes. The RTK

insulin receptor is comprised of two extracellular alpha chains

disulfide-linked to two membrane-spanning beta chains. The three

dimensional crystal structure of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1)

receptor provides a clue to the complete vulnerability of humans when

it comes to mercury's destructive power that can lead to diabetes, and

now we are seeing that this same pathway is contributing, perhaps

greatly, to autism and other neurological disorders.

The molecular structure of both IGF1 and the RTK insulin receptor

sites are rich in cysteines and as such we find an array of

disulfide-linked modules that mercury penetrates. Published studies

from Northeastern University with thimerosal show that it inhibits the

ability of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) to activate the enzyme

methionine synthase. Decreased activity of IGF-1 signaling is

associated with type 1 diabetes, particularly a failure of signaling

in insulin-secreting beta islet cells.

If the geometry of the receptor has been changed by mercury

the message that insulin has arrived to give the cell is not received.

Mercury is so dangerous exactly because it is collapsing/damaging

critical sulfur-containing cross-linkages which change the geometry of

both insulin receptor sites and insulin itself. Super dangerous

thimerosal is ethyl-mercury mixed with aluminium in the vaccine and if

anyone ever wanted to discover the ultimate elixir of death, they

probably found it. Injecting millions of children with 150,000

trillion atoms of supercharged death particles (50 micrograms in two

thimerosal containing vaccines still administered in most of the third

world) is high insanity, surely the ultimate treason against a

generation of children.

EPA experts acknowledge that there are tools available today that

can measure the toxic dangers in any locality, and they are finding

mercury everywhere. We have reached a milestone in human history.

Awaiting each and every child born on the planet is a life doomed to

being poisoned. Though many of us can, through enlightened reasoning,

protect our children from the vaccine barbarians and the dental

terrorists, who have the audacity to plant mercury a few inches from

their patients brains, we have limited choices when it comes to

mercury in the air our children breathe, in the water they drink nor

in many of the foods they eat. There is a great rising tide of mercury

and many other toxic chemical substances and the only answer we now

have is individual treatment. Detoxification and chelation are the key

concepts to mind in medicine and healthcare in the 21st century.

[iii] Power plants in the US put 48 tons of mercury a year into

the atmosphere through burning coal. China spews 600 tons of mercury

into the air each year, accounting for a great part of the world's

nonnatural emissions. And the volume is rising quickly with more coal

fired energy plants now under construction in China than exists in the

entire country of England. China all by itself is bringing on a

mercury crisis. By 2020, China will have nearly 1,000 gigawatts of

total electricity-generating capacity, more than twice the current

amount, according to the State Power Economic Research Center. China

will this year burn about 1.9 billion tons of coal, a 12% increase

from last year, and consumption is expected to keep rising. In fifteen

years we can expect China to be pumping 1,400 tons of mercury into the

air or approximately 60 additional tons a year as new capacity comes

online.[iii] This is a huge number and will join the already enormous

amount of mercury bellowing up from China's more than 2,000 coal-fired

power plants. This mercury soars high into the atmosphere and then

around the globe on what has become a transcontinental conveyor belt

of mercury polluted air. And as we can see from the chart below China

has over the last fifteen years has tripled its power making capacity

thus its mercury polluting capacity.
