No One's Paying Attention...But The Endless Stream of Studies

Linking Thimerosal (Mercury) with Autism Continues

Dear Everyone,

In yet another study by more well-established and well-respected

researchers

directly links Thimerosal (mercury) exposure with autism in yet another

model system. This new study continues to build upon previous model

systems

linking Thimerosal (mercury) with brain pathology found in subjects

diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.

The new study, " Intermingled Modulatory and Neurotoxic Effects of

Thimerosal

and Meruric Ions on Electrophysiological Responses to GABA and NMDA in

Hippocampal Neurons " was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of

Physiology and Pharmacology by investigators from the Wroclaw Medical

University, Wroclaw, Poland, the Marie Curie Chairs Programme at the

Department of Pharmacology and Physiology of the Nervous System,

Institute

of Psychiatry and Neurology, Warsaw, Poland, and the Department of

Biology

and Environmental Science, University of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski,

Warsaw,

Poland funded by grants from the European Commission, the Foundation

for

Polish Science, and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of

Poland.

Please, find a copy of the study attached to this email saved as

Modulatory-Neurotoxic Effects of Thimerosal on GABA & NMDA in

Hippocampal

Neurons1.pdf in Adobe Acrobat Format.

This new study described [emphasis added], " Thimerosal (THIM), an

organomercurial containing approximately 49% of mercury by weight, has

been

added for decades to medicinal products, including pediatric vaccines,

without being sufficiently tested for its safety. This is surprising in

view

of the fact that all mercurials are highly toxic, particularly to

developing

organisms. In the past decade concerns emerged about the possibility

that

THIM from vaccines might contribute to certain neurodevelopmental

disorders

in children...Unfortunately, it is still added to pediatric vaccines in

less

developed countries, including Poland, potentially damaging the health

of

children. "

These investigators then reported [emphasis added], " THIM is

metabolized in

the body to ethyl mercury (EtHg) and subsequently to inorganic mercury

forms, which accumulate in tissues of vital organs, including the

brain...the existing data indicate that in pharmacodynamics and

toxicity

THIM/EtHg does not differ significantly from methyl mercury (MeHg)... "

These investigators stated [emphasis added], " Many neurotoxic effects

of

thimerosal have been described, but its interaction with principal

excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmiter systems is not known. We

examined,

using electrophysiological recordings, thimerosal effects on GABA and

NMDA-evoked currents in cultured hippocampal neurons. After brief (3 to

10

min) exposure to thimerosal at concentrations up to 100 ìM, there was

no

significant effect on GABA or NMDA-evoked currents. However, following

exposure for 60-90 min to 1 or 10 ìM thimerosal, there was a

significant

decrease in NMDA-induced currents (p<0.05) and GABAergic currents

(p<0.05).

Thimerosal was also neurotoxic, damaging a significant proportion of

neurons

after 60-90 min exposure; recordings were always conducted in the

healthiest

looking neurons. "

These investigators concluded [emphasis added], " The results reveal

complex

interactions of thimerosal and mercuric ions with the GABAA and NMDA

receptors...thimerosal works slowly, reducing both NMDA and GABA

responses.

The neurotoxic effects of both mercurials are interwoven with their

modulatory actions on GABAA and NMDA receptors, which most likely

involve

binding to these macromolecules. "

When he was very little, he started making the usual sounds and then he got his vaccines. He is nonverbal and 17 years old. Has classic autism. I strongly believe that vaccines do harm autistic children. How about your child?

We thought Karac was brilliant. He was singing the ABC song and

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and could read and count the numbers until

20 before he was two years old. After the shot he lost language and

eye contact; he would not respond to his name. I did ABA with him and

he regained some until he started to school. He has made no progress

since and has lost some. He is 18 and I think a tetanus shot that he

had when he was about 8 caused a regression. He is in the 12 grade now

and finally has a teacher who realizes that he can learn. I am hoping

he makes some progress this semester. Pat K

No One's Paying Attention...But The Endless Stream of Studies

Linking Thimerosal (Mercury) with Autism Continues

Dear Everyone,

In yet another study by more well-established and well-respected

researchers

directly links Thimerosal (mercury) exposure with autism in yet another

model system. This new study continues to build upon previous model

systems

linking Thimerosal (mercury) with brain pathology found in subjects

diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.

The new study, " Intermingled Modulatory and Neurotoxic Effects of

Thimerosal

and Meruric Ions on Electrophysiological Responses to GABA and NMDA in

Hippocampal Neurons " was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of

Physiology and Pharmacology by investigators from the Wroclaw Medical

University, Wroclaw, Poland, the Marie Curie Chairs Programme at the

Department of Pharmacology and Physiology of the Nervous System,

Institute

of Psychiatry and Neurology, Warsaw, Poland, and the Department of

Biology

and Environmental Science, University of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski,

Warsaw,

Poland funded by grants from the European Commission, the Foundation

for

Polish Science, and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of

Poland.

Please, find a copy of the study attached to this email saved as

Modulatory-Neurotoxic Effects of Thimerosal on GABA & NMDA in

Hippocampal

Neurons1.pdf in Adobe Acrobat Format.

This new study described [emphasis added], " Thimerosal (THIM), an

organomercurial containing approximately 49% of mercury by weight, has

been

added for decades to medicinal products, including pediatric vaccines,

without being sufficiently tested for its safety. This is surprising in

view

of the fact that all mercurials are highly toxic, particularly to

developing

organisms. In the past decade concerns emerged about the possibility

that

THIM from vaccines might contribute to certain neurodevelopmental

disorders

in children...Unfortunately, it is still added to pediatric vaccines in

less

developed countries, including Poland, potentially damaging the health

of

children. "

These investigators then reported [emphasis added], " THIM is

metabolized in

the body to ethyl mercury (EtHg) and subsequently to inorganic mercury

forms, which accumulate in tissues of vital organs, including the

brain...the existing data indicate that in pharmacodynamics and

toxicity

THIM/EtHg does not differ significantly from methyl mercury (MeHg)... "

These investigators stated [emphasis added], " Many neurotoxic effects

of

thimerosal have been described, but its interaction with principal

excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmiter systems is not known. We

examined,

using electrophysiological recordings, thimerosal effects on GABA and

NMDA-evoked currents in cultured hippocampal neurons. After brief (3 to

10

min) exposure to thimerosal at concentrations up to 100 ìM, there was

no

significant effect on GABA or NMDA-evoked currents. However, following

exposure for 60-90 min to 1 or 10 ìM thimerosal, there was a

significant

decrease in NMDA-induced currents (p<0.05) and GABAergic currents

(p<0.05).

Thimerosal was also neurotoxic, damaging a significant proportion of

neurons

after 60-90 min exposure; recordings were always conducted in the

healthiest

looking neurons. "

These investigators concluded [emphasis added], " The results reveal

complex

interactions of thimerosal and mercuric ions with the GABAA and NMDA

receptors...thimerosal works slowly, reducing both NMDA and GABA

responses.

The neurotoxic effects of both mercurials are interwoven with their

modulatory actions on GABAA and NMDA receptors, which most likely

involve

binding to these macromolecules. "

Good Morning Everyone!

I am usually a silent observer of the group...I take to heart everyone's trials and triumphs and ask God what it all means. This strange thing...this Autism...in all its tragic, miraculous, amazing, hurtful, inspiring forms. What journey is this that some of us have been chosen to take? I ask for Grace to accept the answers to these questions as they unfold.

Our Josiah is 3 and 8 mos. now. His ABA is working beautifully with him and he is due for his year re-evaluation on March 2. I have often wondered about the source of his Autisms and have concluded that he was born so. I do believe that in MANY cases, and perhapse his as well, too many or the wrong vaccines can exacerbate autistic symptoms and behaviors. I do think they may release predispositions that are already genetically there. The singular cause...perhaps not. But a very potential factor in some cases. What are your thoughts?

I am usually silent on this debate had it so many times in my head it hurts. I totally agree with , now that I look back at and his birth. He never wanted to be held unless it was skin to skin and he would scream unmercifully almost all day. We did find that he had Gastro problems couldnt' digest my breast milk, although the screaming did not stop when he was on formula.

He never crawled - well maybe a week and then he was crusing at 6 months of age and walking at 7 - I truly believe he wanted to get away from me and it was not a game he did not want to be touched, lightly or with pressure if anything it would be with deep deep pressure.

I gave him the shots on time until he was diagnosed at 20 mnths with PDD/NOS. He no longer gets most vaccines - had to vaccinate with tetanus for Boy Scouts which my son adores but other than that nothing. He is now a bright brillant boy who is being a teen and no longer wants me around - but he has a side of empathy that I never new an Autie can have.

Yes I believe the vaccines did something, what I don't know, my child never really talked, never grunted, never pointed just wanted to be by himself. We got him in my own form of ABA therapy everyday from someone OT, PT, ST, DT, nothing more than an hour a day - he couldn't take more - make that I couldn't take more of the crying and the screaming.

But he is one of the lucky ones once we got the Verbal Apraxia going the right direction he became over verbal and now uses it as a stim. I wished he would talk and now he does.

So that is just my 2 cents yes vaccines did something to my son what I don't know - but he did have it at birth you can just go back over his life until the 20 months until he was diagnosed and see all the markers.

Autism sucks and it will continue to suck until we find a cure or something. Would I take it away from my son - not at this point, because it is who he is. It is not a cancer that is killing him so I don't fight it anymore I just work with it and make him work as hard as he can in school and in therapy and we just live day by day.

Love to all of you who are struggling.

to show you the difference.....JJ loved to be touched!!!!!! He played good with his toys and at his 18 month check-up he was given his shots and over the next 6 months you could see the change in him and then i got the "hot shot list" which showed the bad lot numbers J had. Now at 23 life is hard for him.

Sheron- be glad that your son can understand boy scouts and can do well in school. J cannot funtion that high. he has to go to a day program while I work. I love JJ BUT hate autism!!!!!!! Lois

Karac has a sister that is 4 years older than he is. She loves him and

is good to him, but I thought it would have been nice if he had an

older brother. I have a young male special needs teacher who comes on

the weekends and acts as teacher and friend. They ride bikes, shoot

baskets and eat out together.

Does on go to school? Are you able to work? Pat K
