Another
major historic contributor of
mercury toxicity is numerous vaccines. A vaccine is a
preparation containing the weakened or killed microorganisms that cause a
particular disease. When these substances are injected or taken orally, the
body stimulates the immune system to produce the necessary defenses against
that disease.
 Recently it has become known through new studies that the mercury
derivative, Thimerosal, that has been commonly used in vaccinations is now
resulting in dramatic increased in autism in children.
Steve Wilson, an investigative reporter with
WXYZ-TV Channel 7 in Southfield,
Michigan, beginning in February 2004 recently completed a 3 month long
investigation regarding the use of Thimerosal. Used as a preservative or a
sterilizing agent in vaccines for years, it is half mercury, a substance so
toxic that a minute amount can destroy brain cells quickly and irreparably.

Since the
1930's, this substance has been used as a preservative or a sterilizing agent
in vaccines and can be up to 49.6% of the vaccine's total content by weight.
Some of the vaccines that contain Thimerosal are often recommended for infants
and young children in the U.S., including many recombinant vaccines such as
Hepatitis B, diphtheria, pertussis, acellular pertussis, tetanus and Hib
vaccines.
Further
recent studies have shown that autistic children have greatly impared metal
excretion capabilities. This is the underlying problem in a large number of
autistics leaving them especially vunderable to heavy metal toxicity,
especially mercury. Select this link to view the report by

One of
these autism studies concluded that to prevent autism development, heavy metal
(mercury) exposure must be essentially eliminated during the periods of brain
development, naming these following four sources:
- Vaccines
- RhoGAM
- Amalgam
fillings
- Fish and
seafood.
Thimerosal was also used in over-the-counter drugs until 1998. Due to the
impact toward autism caused by this mercury form, significant reductions in
applications for vaccine use are now occuring.
