Thanks, I have a BS in business so it might as well be in greek.

Okay so now my question is this, is 162.5 hg/.5ml(cc) a lot. As I

stated it was distributed in 8 immunizations.

thanks again

I don't know much about mercury dosages to tell you if it is a lot or

not. If it was in eight immunizations given at different times, maybe

not, but I can't say for sure. As I understand, the mercury is out of

the current immunizations except the flu shot but you can order one

without the thimerosol. That makes no sense does it. I wish they

would just make all flu shots mercury free. I dont' know what it is

going to take.

Back to your question about the mercury, maybe your child could not

excrete the mercury no matter if it was a lot or not. I think that is

what happened with my child. Take care and keep looking for answers.

My therapists have mentioned to me repeatedly the connection between

autism and the mercury and although noone will put anything in

writing they have stated that they strongly believe that to have

caused if not strongly encouraged the onset of my sons autism. There

has never been history of developmental delay in my or my husbands

families and the only difference between my two children is that she

had civilian health care, mostly single dose vial immunizations. And

my son had military health care, their theory - the bigger the

bottle - the cheaper - the better.

And now my problem is that good, military doctors are few and far

between and they only recommend speech and OT. Anything else is out

of the question.

So I am trying to find all the info I can. It isn't really fair that

my son's condition or treatment has to suffer because my husband is

in service to our country. But I guess if there was a such thing as

fair we wouldn't all need this website now would we.

thanks again Kristy and good luck to you too

I don't think I know what " a lot " is either.

I do think that INJECTING mercury makes any amount " a lot " .

Injection is a very bad thing (for mercury).

Another way to look at it is that your child got a similar

amount of (injected) mercury as many many other kids---

including lots who got autism, and lots who didn't.

Below I will quote from

http://tlredwood.home.mindspring.com/index.htm

(I'm not sure if this URL will " work " for you or not.)

================================================================

In June 1999, the Food and Drug Administration discovered

that " Infants who receive thimerosal containing vaccine at several

visits may be exposed to more mercury than recommended by Federal

guidelines for total mercury exposure. " Thimerosal, a preservative

used in some vaccines to prevent contamination, is 49.6% mercury by

weight. Infants who are being vaccinated using multi-dose vials with

thimerosal can receive 62.5 micrograms of mercury per visit. For an

average sized child this represents an exposure approximately 100

times the 0.1 micrograms per kilogram of daily exposure considered

safe by the Environmental Protection Agency. The manufactures safety

data sheet for thimerosal states, " Highly toxic…Danger of cumulative

effects…Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure… and the Chemical,

physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly

investigated. "

website is NOT working -- I get 404 " page not found " .

1 ml = 1 cc. They are the same unit of volume. ml is milliliter, cc

is cubic centimeter.
