At the time, I thought it was because SOME contact lens wearers were mildly allergic to thimerosal. I was led to believe that at worst, it was an eye " irritant. " Little did I know that thimerosal has been implicated in far more serious health problems over the years. However, the worst problems, apparently have been with infants and the thimerosal found in their vaccines. Thimerosal contains a large amount of mercury, which is particularly harmful to infants, and most toxic when it is introduced in the body through injection. Mercury is excreted in adults through our bile, which is NOT the case with infants. Apparently, the mercury instead of being excreted, accumulates in the infant's body. gg- you are much more well-read about this topic: Is thimerosol deemed to be as toxic in adults as it is to infants? -Roma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 well....as Senator Dan Burton of Indiana told the pedantic and slow moving officials from the FDA, NIH, and CDC, " I am going to tell the other 250 Senators who have just gotten their flu shots what is going on here, about the implications of thimerasol and Alzheimer's, and believe me, you don't want 250 more of me to contend with, so I suggest you people get up off your behinds and go out and take this stuff out of every vaccine. " One research scientist asked if he thought mercury was that toxic replied that when a thermometer broke in his lab, he evacuated the lab and called in for Hazardous Materials cleanup. AND THEY THINK IT IS OK TO INJECT THIS STUFF INTO OUR KIDS AND OLDER PEOPLE AT RISK IN ANY LEVEL?

Am I the only one on this group who played with mercury as a kid? We bought it at the drug store and it was the coolest stuff.

I recall doing basic experiments with loose mercury on a tray. The way it rolled and reconnected to itself etc. Not to mention when a thermometer broke. Speaking of which, with technology today combined with current knowledge..why are they still producing glass thermometers filled with mercury considering they break so easily?? There are so many other methods available. Or if there is a reason for having them, why not using some form of unbreakable (or almost) clear material to avoid exposure potential?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 yeah ,but the docs don't know which are which, because of the proprietary laws surrounding the meds and the FDA and CDC and NIH refuse to cough it up! They simply DON'T KNOW! That was according to all the head dudes from those agencies that I watched on those Senate Reform Comittee meetings the other day. The vaccine companies are scrambling like rats to divest themselves of their poison....two major companies have jumped ship and no longer will provide vaccines and the other few left haven't tooled up to provide single dose deliveries and so....hahaha....so the Agency folk...protectors of our health...were saying that they HAD to provide this stuff with the thimerisol in it. With that, the Senator from Indiana who was heading this meeting said, " sit down, I've heard enough of this nonsense. " hahaha. gg moftap@... wrote: > In a message dated 12/29/2002 6:00:12 PM US Mountain Standard Time, > kathyz2003@... writes: > > > WHOA!
