Dangers of Exposure to Thimerosal Mercury

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines on safe exposure to mercury are 1/10 microgram (mcg) per kilogram of body weight. The child received approximately 237 micrograms of thimerosal at 2 months of age and received the first 200 micrograms of vaccine six months ago. Thimerosal is an ethyl mercurial preservative (about 49.6% by weight mercury) used in vaccines to extend the vaccine's shelf life. Since thimerosal injection is about 50 times toxic, babies do not have a blood brain barrier, mercury adheres to brain cells and nerves, and babies do not produce bile, so mercury is not excreted.

Thimerosal / Mercury: Thimerosal is a mercury-containing compound used as a preservative for multiple-dose vials. Its intended purpose is to prevent bacterial contamination. Exposure to mercury can damage the kidneys and the brain and is associated with inflammatory diseases such as autoimmune diseases. Aluminum salts: Salts such as aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate and other mixed salts are added to the influenza vaccine to stimulate the body's immune response, thereby producing antigens against the virus. It has been clinically proven that aluminum can cause local adverse reactions including autoimmunity, neurological diseases including multiple sclerosis, and fatigue and muscle pain at the injection site.

When thinking about thimerosal, people think about the harmful effects of mercury poisoning. Do you still remember the dangers of the mercury thermometer? First, thimerosal is not elemental mercury, mercury of the thermometer is elemental mercury and it is dangerous. Thimerosal is a toxic compound mercury containing compound. But remember, the poison is dose - dependent. Small amount of thimerosal is non-toxic. In addition, thimerosal does not stay in the body for a long period of time (in most cases it is unlikely) to make us sick. In addition, thimerosal is no longer widely used in vaccines. Thiomel has not been used for pediatric vaccines since 2001 and is currently used only for influenza vaccines today (although it can demand influenza vaccines without thiomersal).
