America's Toxic Flu shots: 250 times EPA mercury limit

Thimerosal is a widely used vaccine preservative that is present in the majority of flu shots and other vaccines. Thimerosal is 49% mercury by volume, an extremely toxic chemical element that wreaks havoc on the nervous system, neurological function, and overall biological function [1]. Each dose of flu vaccine contains around 25 micrograms of thimerosal, over 250 times the Environmental Protection Agency's safety limit of exposure.

Mercury, a neurotoxin, is especially damaging to undeveloped brains. Considering that 25 micrograms of mercury is considered unsafe by the EPA for any human under 550 pounds, the devastating health effects of mercury on a developing fetus are truly concerning.

Though thimerasol is not entirely mercury, the mercury content is still extremely high, making it very toxic to the human body. Despite highly exceeding the EPA safety standards for mercury content by over 250 times, flu shots are still recommended for children over 6 months and pregnant women.

It seems that the age groups that are urged to receive the flu shot are actually most affected by mercury exposure. Young children, pregnant women, and elderly are the 'targeted' demographic of flu shot manufacturers, and these individuals also happen to have the least defense against the elemental neurotoxin mercury.

Dr. Russel Blaylock, a leading neurologist, explains:

A recent study looked at the immune reaction in newborn infants up to the age of one year who had received the HepB vaccine to see if their immune reaction differed from adults getting the same vaccine. What they found was that the infant, even after age one year, did react differently. Their antibody levels were substantially higher than adults (3-fold higher) and it remained higher throughout the study.

In essence, they found that the babies responded to the vaccine by having an intense Th2 response that persisted long after it should have disappeared, a completely abnormal response.

In 2004, the The Coalition for Mercury-free Drugs petitioned the FDA to limit the use of thimerosal in vaccine citing safety concerns. In a reply made public years later, the FDA denied the request despite overwhelming evidence that mercury is harmful to the human body [2] [3] [4].

In addition to mercury, vaccines also contain other toxic fillers and preservatives that have been linked to health conditions such as cancer:

-- Aluminium: Also a neurotoxin, aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer's disease [5] and other cognitive diseases [6].

-- Formaldehyde: Among the 8 new substances to be added to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services list of carcinogens.

-- Antibiotics: Various forms include neomycin, streptomycin, and gentamicin.

-- Triton X-100: A detergent that should not be injected into the human bloodstream.

By recommending flu shots to the public, the CDC and vaccine manufacturers are ignoring the warnings of not only major studies conducted by prominent universities, but also the EPA. The EPA's safety limit of mercury exposure is being exceeded by over 250 times each shot. In addition to a number of other 'recommended' vaccines, flu shots are dished out each year to the public, meaning that this exposure increases to 250 times the limit each year. Over a 10 year period, it is possible to exceed the limit by 2500 times simply by receiving a yearly flu shot.

Shaking Parkinsons and Other Tremor Diseases

Contrary to popular belief that PARKINSON'S is genetic and an 'old age' disease, the AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION has just declared that the culprits for these devastating tremors are pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, and various chemicals. (American Medical Association Publication 27 January 99).
Add to this stunning admission the fact that in my overcoming terminal cancer of the breast, throat, and liver, my friends and I discovered that the underlying poisons in my death-inviting disease were heavy metal toxicity (basic substances in pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides). In 1990 - 1991, lab analyses of my blood and urine revealed a thriving mass of poisons in my body including: Dioxin, Mercury, Aluminum, and Arsenic, Cadmium, Copper, Lead and several other chemicals. This factual revelation led me to a determined exploratory in several directions at once. During the period 1994 - 1996, a unique means of ridding me of these invasive metals emerged: an unprecedented combination of clays, herbs and spices that provided a natural means of drawing these vicious poisons from my body. My life was given back to me. To finally become 'clean' again was an ultimate experience incomparable to anything else in my life. To pay back this gift that gave me these extra years, I've taken all that special knowledge, expanded on it, and now share it with others.

As most of us know Parkinson's shaking palsy or, in extreme cases, paralysis is a progressive disease of the nervous system in which essential nerve cells are destroyed. The symptoms are initiated by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain so that messages between nerve cells that control muscle function become confused. In Parkinson's this disorientation results in muscular rigidity, cramping, involuntary tremors, impaired speech, a staring facial expression, drooling, a short shuffling gait and a characteristic 'pill-rolling' movement of the thumb and forefinger as they rub against each other.

Finally, the FDA approved Deprenyl, a drug which slows the progress of the disease for about a year. The head and hand tremors are the most noticeable improvement. However, Dr. Kurt W. Donsbach DC, ND, PhD in an article in Wellness Lifestyle (May, 1990) reported that an extensive exploratory into the effect of nutrients on Parkinson's was made with a control group in which mega doses of vitamins E and C were given. It appeared to postpone the effect on the incapacitating tremors and other symptoms. The evaluation revealed that the drug, Deprenyl, worked only 40% as well as the nutritional supplements.

THE PESTICIDE CULPRIT

Realize that 1.3 MILLION TONS of Pesticide, involving 50,000 pesticide combinations, are used each year in just the U.S., we are bound to be affected by them: by the air we breathe, the water we drink and, certainly, the food we eat. Many of the pesticides are used only for cosmetic purposes: i.e. making redder apples, unblemished peaches; redder tomatoes and more beautiful and more salable oranges.

In the book "Truth About Where You Live", by Benjamin A Goldman, he reports extensive studies of pesticides and chemical toxicity related to Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Lou Gehrig's disease. He also points out that the insidious motor neuron disease has been correlated with rural farming throughout the country. He says, "Symptoms of neurological impairment can range from drowsiness, depression, dizziness and confusion, to death. Pesticides can also cause immune system malfunctions. In 1980, the Environmental Protection Agency set up a SuperFund Program to dispose of 1,200 toxic waste locations that were 'potentially injurious' to man. In ten years, only 50 of these sites have been cleaned up. At the present rate, it will take another 230 years to dispose of the 1,150 remaining except that since 1990, there have been another 32,000 such waste dumps classified as potentially hazardous! Is there any wonder why we are faced with the challenges of polluted bodies!

In our continuing research, we have found many diseases DIRECTLY related to the toxic presence of chemicals and metals, not only identified with tremor-illnesses, but associated with severe allergic response and anti-immune diseases. (Sharma 1981)

THE MERCURY CULPRIT

Mercury poisoning, among others, often has several of the characteristics of Parkinson's: shakiness in the hands, feet, head, along with the twitching of the face, numbness and tingling in the extremities. It has, similarly, been associated with Candidiases, Epstein Barr, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFID) and occasionally, Fibromyalgia. In "God Helps Those That Help Themselves", by Hannah Kroeger., Edmund Fink says, "Mercury poisoning can cause damage to the basic ganglia of the brain which can make 'Parkinson-like symptoms.' Mercury can cause coarse, jerky movements, gross in coordination and can interfere with precise movements such as writing and eating." Although dental amalgams in the past have been considered safe, many are known to have generated allergic reactions, usually in the form of skin rashes. Of even greater concern are the cases of immune suppression and numerous toxic effects. One dentist experimentally removed amalgam fillings from three patients and observed an increase in the proportion of T-cells. When the amalgam was restored, the T-cell percentages dropped again. This study suggests that an amalgam filling chronically depresses these vital fighting cells in the immune system. (Eggleston 1984). (Reduced T-cell percentages increase the risk of cancer, other infectious and anti-immune diseases.)

PLEASE NOTE: Nickel, a known carcinogen (cancer-producing) metal, is also used in dental work and likewise has an adverse effect on T-cell percentages. (Maximum Immunity by Michael A. Weiner, Ph. D.)

THE ALUMINUM CULPRIT

In the Harvard Health Letter, (Oct. 1990, Vol 15, No. 11), studies found that "Aluminum accumulates in lesions in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. It builds up in degenerating nerve fibers (neurotic plaques) and shriveled filaments inside the cells (neurofibrary tangles).

According to Louise Gittleman in HOW TO STAY YOUNG AND HEALTHY IN A TOXIC WORLD, The major areas where aluminum accumulates is in the brain, kidneys, and GI tract. And in his book, FIGHTING RADIATION, Steve Schnechter, N.D. not only indicates aluminum's connection with Alzheimer's, depression, constipation and Schiziphrenia, but says "Like many of the other environmental toxins, aluminum has cumulative effects in the human body - what started out at age fifteen as occasional headaches may by age fifty be Parkinson's disease." He adds that people who eat animal foods such as meats, poultry, and dairy are regularly ingesting higher concentrations of aluminum.

THE ARSENIC CULPRIT

Arsenic exposure causes numbness of the limbs and loss of coordination as part of its long list of symptoms. It is found in heavy industrial areas in the air, water, pesticides, and insecticides and is associated with Epilepsy, Arthritis, and Arteriosclerosis. (Arsenic and Your Environment, Dr. Bara Fischer, 1986).

THE LEAD CULPRIT

Pesticides, paint, water and a long list of domestic products commonly contain lead and long exposure to it leads to tremors, twitching of the face muscles, jerking of the limbs, confusion, mania, seizures; a tremendous list of symptoms. The metal affects more than 1.7 million young children. In 1991, lead poisoning was referred to as the most common and socially devastating environmental disease of young children. Even in small amounts, lead poisoning damages children's brains, slowing their mental capacities and lowering their intelligence level. Note particularly, that it is directly associated with Epilepsy and kidney cancer.

THE CADMIUM CULPRIT

Cadmium, like, is dangerously pervasive in our air, food, and water and is also a cumulative poison that can cause a wide range of toxicity symptoms. A principal source is again, the pesticides. Significant amounts are found in cigarette smoke. Other common sources are smoke from burning of wastes, wood, garbage, etc.; industrial effluents, plastics, fertilizers, auto exhaust, refined foods, coffee, and be forewarned: The first water out of the tap each day, hot tap water, and water from galvanized or black plastic pipes contain cadmium. It is also associated with hypertension (high blood pressure).

THE FLUORINE/FLUORIDE CULPRIT

The Parkinson's-like tremors are, likewise, also associated with the toxic substance, Fluorine/Fluoride. It particularly affects the kidneys and promotes low blood pressure. It causes the muscles to become flabby and degenerated. Fluoride destroys our will to live! "Many commercial toothpastes contain cavity-fighting fluoride. Each one of these tubes contains 1,000 - 2,000 mgs. of fluoride, enough to kill a small child who might eat the whole contents." (Journal of Pediatrics 1987) People taking tablets containing one-half of one milligram of fluoride per day (the amount found in 1 to 2 pints of fluoridated water) can expect to experience: Black tar-like stools, stiffness, bloody vomit, diarrhea, faintness, nausea and vomiting, shallow breathing, stomach cramps or pain, tremors, unusual excitement, unusual increase in saliva, watery eyes, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, pain and aching bones, skin rash, and sores in the mouth and on the lips. (US Pharmacopia Volumes on Drug Information 1983 quotes Hannah Kroeger's book, GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES.)

THE INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS CULPRIT

Seven children in Woburn, MA died of leukemia because of industrial chemicals in their drinking water. (A CIVIL ACTION by Jonathon Harr). Children seem more susceptible to these toxic chemicals than adults. Virtually all industrial pollutions, metals, chemicals, pesticides, insecticides play a major role in depressing and breaking down our immune system and are the source of 85% - 95% of all diseases. (Dr. Bara H. Fischer, 1986, On Arsenic In your Environment.)

THE POLLUTION SOLUTION

In recent years, alternative means of protecting or ridding the body from these toxic poisons has begun to prove a natural means of protecting us from these hazards.

RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS
- Get a reputable water filter and a well designed air ionizer for your home and your office. The air and water elements are of extreme importance in generating a poisonous-free lifestyle.

- TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR RESEARCH. Start clearing toxic poisonous substance from your body. Great success has been achieved with very special clay baths where the poisons are magnetically (naturally) pulled from your body. The metals in your system are naturally positively charged which means that our negatively charged clay formulae automatically attract the metals and chemicals, pulling the injurious substances out through your pores to bind with the clay and its various herbs and spices. (PLEASE NOTE: There are several hundred types of clay. Most of them do not have the magnetic action we have found in ours.)
- Environmental Detox Clay Bath: assists in removing industrial and chemical poisons including DDT, lead, pesticides, insecticides, vaccination poisons and radiation.
- Arsenic Detox Clay Bath: assists in clearing arsenic.
- Aluminum Detox Clay Bath: assists in removing aluminum and other metals.
- Mercury/Dental Detox Clay Bath: assists in removing mercury.
- Smoker's/Drug Detox Clay Bath: assists in removing numerous chemicals and drugs found in tobacco, smoke; especially cadmium.
- Tox-Away assists in clearing radiation, Lead, Acid Rain, & toxic metals.
- Clear-Out assists in cleaning situations associated with metal and chemical toxicity.

FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE

We suggest the Environmental Detox Clay Bath to remove the pesticides and in certain cases, the Dental/Mercury Detox Bath. We also suggest your checking on the Manganese in your diet! In Louise Gittleman's book, HOW TO LIVE LONGER AND STAY HEALTHY IN A TOXIC WORLD: "Manganese is essential to the formation of certain enzymes, helps the reproductive system, assists in blood sugar regulation and supports ligaments, discs, and bones. IN EXCESS, however, manganese can be toxic and develop 'manganese madness'. The initial symptoms include exhaustion, a trance-like hypnotic state, tremendous irritability and erratic behavior with wild emotional swings, hallucinations and impotence. Some develop symptoms resembling those of Parkinson's disease," says Louise. Too much manganese may be a big clue to check out for Parkinson's and related tremor diseases. According to Hannah Kroeger, Master Herbalist, sage herb is excellent for reducing salivation in Parkinson's disease.

DIETS FOR PARKINSON'S

"A diet of fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole-grain products and fluids to promote good digestion. Soft or pureed foods to ease swallowing. If taking levodopa, cut back on high protein foods." (Foods That Harm, Foods That Heal by Reader's Digest) A periodic cleansing diet is a simple 3-day diet using green beans, zucchini, parsley, and celery. Check out our section on recipes & also refer to the Toxic Metal Level Chart listing the toxic metals associated with various diseases and the antidotes that assist in eliminating the metals or chemicals.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WITHOUT YOUR GETTING RID OF THE METALS AND CHEMICALS IN YOUR BODY THE DISEASES WILL CONTINUE TO BE CHRONIC. THE BODY CANNOT HEAL ITSELF. YOU HAVE TO HELP! THEY MUST BE REMOVED!

Mercury in High-Fructose Corn Syrup?

Researchers Say 17 Products Tested Had Some Mercury; Industry Group Says Syrup Is Safe
By Miranda Hitti
WebMD Health News
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD

Some foods and drinks rich in high-fructose corn syrup may contain detectable levels of mercury, a new report shows.

The report, published on the web site of the Minneapolis-based nonprofit Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP), shows detectable levels of mercury in 17 out of 55 tested products rich in high-fructose corn syrup.

But the researchers aren't telling people to avoid those products or other items containing high-fructose corn syrup, and they aren't sure what form of mercury those products contained.

The Corn Refiners Association stands by high-fructose corn syrup, calling it "safe."

Mercury and High-Fructose Corn Syrup

The new report comes from researchers including David Wallinga, MD, director of the IATP's food and health program. They bought 55 products that list high-fructose corn syrup first or second on their list of ingredients, which means high-fructose corn syrup was a leading ingredient in those products.

Wallinga's team sent samples of those products to a commercial lab, which checked the levels of total mercury in each sample.

"Overall, we found detectable mercury in 17 of 55 samples, or around 31%," write Wallinga and colleagues.

Here is the list of those products:

* Quaker Oatmeal to Go bars
* Jack Daniel's Barbecue Sauce
* Hershey's Chocolate Syrup
* Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce
* Nutri-Grain Strawberry Cereal Bars
* Manwich Gold Sloppy Joe
* Market Pantry Grape Jelly
* Smucker's Strawberry Jelly
* Pop-Tarts Frosted Blueberry
* Hunt's Tomato Ketchup
* Wish-Bone Western Sweet & Smooth Dressing
* Coca-Cola Classic: no mercury found on a second test
* Yoplait Strawberry Yogurt
* Minute Maid Berry Punch
* Yoo-hoo Chocolate Drink
* Nesquik Chocolate Milk
* Kemps Fat Free Chocolate Milk

Wallinga and colleagues caution that their list was "just a snapshot in time; we only tested one sample of each product. That clearly is not sufficient grounds to give definitive advice to consumers."

Mercury exposure at high levels can harm the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs, and immune system. A form of mercury called methylmercury is particularly risky to a baby's developing brain and nervous system, according to background information from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Wallinga points out that the lab only tested for total mercury levels, not methylmercury or other types of mercury. He also notes that the EPA has a "reference dose," or upper limit, for methylmercury intake but not for other forms of mercury.


Where Did the Mercury Come From?

Wallinga's report doesn't prove that the mercury in the tested products came from high-fructose corn syrup, but "I'm hard pressed to say where else it would come from," Wallinga tells WebMD.

Wallinga explains that mercury can be used to make caustic soda, which is one of the products used to make high-fructose corn syrup. That's outdated technology; mercury isn't needed to make caustic soda, notes Audrae Erickson, president of the Corn Refiners Association, in a statement emailed to WebMD.
