I'm like a snapdragon: half of me has snapped and the other is draggin'

Fascinating

article I ran across when pulling some information for a friend on vaccines

(her daughter is pregnant and being pressured to be vaccinated for DPT WHILE

PREGNANT!!!). I found the 4th paragraph particularly interesting.

Vaccine Adjuvant Alters Neurological Function in

Rat Experiment, Symptoms Identical to Autism

Lourdes Salvador

November 30, 2009

Autism is a neurodevelopmental

disability characterized by social withdrawal, communication deficits, and

repetitive behaviors. Both genetic and environmental factors have been

implicated as causes of autism, moreover a high body burden of mercury and other

toxic metals from vaccinations and environmental exposures has been

increasingly given more attention.

Thimerosal is mercury containing vaccine preservative added to many childhood

vaccines. It is widely suspected as a cause of an increasing widespread

epidemic of childhood neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.

Now, a new study shows that administration of thimerosal leads to long lasting

neurological impairment in rats, specifically by altering the neural process of

handling noxious stimuli.

Analysis also shows that significant amounts

of mercury from thimerosal accumulates in the rat brain and remains long term.

The mercury is not readily cleared, as was previously believed. Though mercury

readily leaves the blood stream, it does not leave the body. It is now

recognized to accumulate in brain tissue.

Additionally, this research is supported by various prior studies which show

that children with autism suffer from a weak ability to excrete mercury and

that the weaker the ability, the more severe the symptoms of autism.

Now, two new research studies investigating the effects of chelation therapy on

the health and behavior of children with autism spectrum disorders have

discovered that children receiving chelation to reduce mercury levels had significant

improvements.

It appears that mercury may produce they symptom set recognized in the autism

spectrum disorders as a form of autism.
