Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Thanks for providing this information. I've checked a bit to see whether the 3 mcg per vaccination is really just a trace amount. Here is one comment: " Most worryingly, exposure levels were not particularly high. Hair concentrations in the villagers averaged 4 micrograms of mercury per gram of hair. This is just a tenth of the level considered dangerous for adults by the World Health Organization, and not much higher than that found in many countries. In the US and Japan, for instance, the average mercury concentration in hair is around 1 and 2 micrograms per gram respectively. " http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2003-06/ns-esm061103.php According to the New York Times on April 5, 2003, " The Food and Drug Administration has begun using the Environmental Protection Agency's much lower safe level for mercury in the human body, an official of the food and drug agency said this week. " Before the change, the F.D.A. guidelines set a safe level that was four times as high as that of the environmental agency's standard. " http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?sec=health & res=9507EFDD1538F936A35757\ C0A9659C8B63 This information suggests the FDA may still be allowing dangerous " trace " levels of mercury in vaccines.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Current EPA " safe " level of mercury is .1 mcg/kg per day - one-tenth of a microgram. Of course, the FDA has never done the necessary studies to see how ethyl mercury differs and whether it's more toxic. But if we assume the .1 applies to all types of mercury, then a trace of 3 mcg is way over the limit. > > Thanks for providing this information. > > I've checked a bit to see whether the 3 mcg per vaccination is really > just a trace amount. > > Here is one comment: > > " Most worryingly, exposure levels were not particularly high.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Mercury isn't " safe " at any level. Well, I take that back; you need the most minute amount each day, but you also need a minute amount of arsenic. That doesn't mean you will purposefully take arsenic. It boils down to what is " toxic. " There is a HUGE difference and truly " safe " and " toxic " levels. Consider this comparison: The FDA puts out guidelines on the Minimum Daily Requirement for vitamins and minerals. By " Minimum Daily Requirement " they mean the minimum to keep you alive, not all you need for the day. In other words, if you don't get that much, your body will not function properly, it doesn't mean it is enough to keep you healthy. The information you receive from the FDA is misleading most of the time. You must be able to discern between what they are saying and what they mean. That is not always easy, but in most cases, they are playing word games with the public. Blessings, Dr. Lynda Hardin-Poston 5109 Stotzer Pwy. College Station, TX 77845 (979)260-1202 drlynda@...
