I live in Virginia and had no idea this law had been passed. Great state we live in with the already passed extremely regressive mental health commitment laws.

Can you email me at dem8899 at gmail.com? Obviously substitute the @ symbol for “at” and eliminate the spaces.

We recently wrote an article on vaccines at Brain Blogger. A recent vaccine was created to help prevent the HPV virus in girls. But with how little it really does and with the toxic substances that have been proven to be in vaccinations, is it worth it?

We would like to read your comments on our article. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Kelly

Many things seem to cause mitochondrial dysfunction, including mercury. Susceptibility to autism isn’t the only risk of mitochondrial dysfunction, since it also increases vulnerability to certain cancers and many diseases. Rachel Carson, in “The Silent Spring” predicted that environmentally induced mitochondrial dysfunction would be the eventual downfall of many species of plant and animal. Those chickens are coming home to roost in more ways than one these days.

Gardiner Harris again got it wrong about the mercury and MMR theories being debunked and he misreports on the removal of thimerosal in vaccines. There was never mandatory removal in 2001, it was a voluntary phase out which was hardly followed in a timely manner. Furthermore, old stock of full-mercury vaccines remained on the shelves as late as 2007, and Rhogam shots given to Rh- women contained thimerosal as late as 2003 and beyond. Coupled with the flu shot administered prenatally and for infants, up to 2006 and possibly 2007, a child could receive as much or more mercury in vaccinations as they might have in the mid-1990’s, when the average cumulative amount was well over 200 micrograms for children by the age of 2. 25 micrograms of mercury is 50 times the EPA limit for an infant, so the math on this is pretty alarming.

The flu shot alone– not including the cumulative “trace” amounts still in many other routine vaccinations– given to infants and toddlers today brings the amount of mercury exposure for vaccinated children back up to about 60% of mid-90’s level, which does not include other sources, such as prenatal flu shots, mom’s dental amalgams and the rapidly increasing sources of environmental methylmercury, such as fish consumption, broken CFL, trash burning facilities, proximity to coal-fire power plants or cement-making facilities or whether a child lives in the path of the “China mercury plume” in California and Oregon.

Rather than the heat being off the mercury theory of autism, things have ramped up with the Texas study on school district proximity to coal-fire power plants and increased rates, the infant monkey studies and reviews of some of the flawed data supposedly exonerating thimerosal. Last but not least is the CDC’s own recant of the validity of the Verstraeton VSD data which was the basis for the 2004 IOM decision that vaccines did not cause autism.

As far as the MMR theory, this has long been compatible with the mercury theory, as it’s believed by many that a combination of assaults on the immune system and methylation processes in the body and brain create a one-two (or more) punch resulting in regressive autism. The individual toxins which cause autism may end up being a short list of things which induce almost identical damage to the brain (Depakote, mercury, certain pesticides) but the list of things which induce mitochondrial dysfunction and set children up for increased risk for autism by making them more susceptible to certain toxins is quite long and includes pesticides, herbicides, psychiatric drugs, AIDs drugs, immune assault from excessive vaccination, flame retardants, Tylenol, aspartame and the list goes on. A few “causes” and lots of “helpers” in other words.

It also appears that acetominophen (Tylenol), commonly recommended for infant fevers or localized vaccine reactions or pain associated with vaccinations, destroys glutathione production. Glutathione is the single most important aspect of the body’s system of detoxing heavy metals. Oops.
