What is mercury?
Mercury is a silver-colored liquid metal that:
# is highly toxic # can be found in liquid and vapor
forms; vapors cannot be seen or
smelled. # does not dissolve in water or alcohol # has a metallic taste
Why is mercury dangerous?
When spilled, mercury breaks into tiny beads that roll and can stick to surfaces.
Spilled or improperly stored mercury may:
# evaporate and contaminate the air
you breathe. # remain in the air and environment for
a long time.
How can I be exposed to mercury?
Mercury is used in some industrial and household items. It may be found in:
# thermometers # thermostats # fluorescent lighting # batteries # clothes irons with automatic shut-off
features # athletic shoes with flashing lights in
the soles (made before 1997) # latex and oil-based paints
(made before 1991)
Mercury is also used in some spiritual and cultural practices. For example, mercury may be:
# burned in oil lamps and candles # added to creams, perfumes, or
bathwater # sprinkled on floors in homes or cars # stored in very small containers that
are worn or carried by people # swallowed

» Mercury Poisoning Did It!!
Having an autistic child is not the end of the world, it's far from it.
It is my hope that through this blog, at least a handful of people will get to understand that.
My child is amazing, he brings us tremendous joy.
We have good days & bad days, but we CHOOSE to focus on the good.
Our belief is that by loving our son, giving him the most comfortable environment we can, and by most of all accepting his differences, he will continue to blossom in his OWN way.

Autism Rally
Jenny Mc Carthy Speaks About Autism
Jim Carrey Speaks About Autism
Jenny McCarthy along with boyfriend Jim Carrey marched in Washington with 8500 families at the "Green Our Vaccines" rally. The intention was to raise awareness that 36 vaccinations in the first few years of life is "too many too soon," that known toxic ingredients need to be removed from vaccines, and that Autism, ADHD and other neurological disorders are not acceptable collatoral damage from the vaccine program.

VACCINE FACTS
One hundred years ago, children received 1 vaccine (the smallpox vaccine). Forty years ago, children received 5 vaccines routinely (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and smallpox vaccines) and as many as 8 shots by 2 years of age.
Children now receive 52 vaccines, in the form of 15 shots, by the time they are 6 months of age if they receive all the recommend shots, including the Prevnar pediatric pneumonia shot.
Vaccines contain THIMERSOL (mercury), MSG, aluminum, formaldehyde, sucrose and phenoxyethanol, which is antifreeze, among many other things. Thimerosal, a vaccine ingredient, is nearly 50% mercury.
Mercury is a NEUROTOXIN.
EPA 'safe' levels are: .1 microgram per 1.0 kilogram of body weight per day. Vaccines contain 12.5 to 25.0 micrograms of mercury, and a 'well baby' visit can see your child have between 50 and 62.5 mcgs of MERCURY injected into their bloodstream.
The CDC (US) has found a trend linking autism to mercury laden vaccines.
Thimerosal is a registered pesticide with the Department of Pesticide Registration of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Vaccines given:
Day of Birth: Hepatitis B Contains 12 mcg mercury which is 30 times above the 'safe' level
At 4 Months: DTaP and HiB on same day These contain 50 mcg mercury which is 60 times above the 'safe' level
At 6 Months: Hep B, Polio These contain 62.5 mcg mercury which is 78 times above the 'safe' level
At 15 Months, the child receives another 50 mcg mercury which is 41 times above the 'safe' level.
Low levels of mercury during critical stages of development have been associated with neurological disorders in children including ADD learning difficulties, Autism and speech delays. Wonder why we have an epidemic of these conditions? As of 2001, up to twenty-four vaccines are recommended from birth to eighteen years.
