Genetic changes - Thimerosal is indeed a teratogen...

[Guest guest]

Dear Sheri,

The mercury in Thimerosal-containing vaccines (such as the flu vaccine)

is a known teratogen--a substance known to impact the genetic

code.

Teratogens are those chemicals that lead to structural and/or functional

birth defects. The effects of teratogenic compounds are time dependent as

well as dose dependent. Time dependency is a function of the differences

in development of particular organs and systems during pregnancy. The

original definition of teratogens was narrow and referred to those

chemicals, drugs, and diseases that led to structural and functional

abnormalities observed in early life. The classic therapeutic human

teratogen is

thalidomide. This drug, a sedative developed in the late 1950s and

early 1960s, induced serious birth defects in babies whose mothers had

taken the drug during the critical period of organogenesis of the limbs

(second trimester of pregnancy). The babies were born with several

defects, including missing or stumped limbs (phocomelia),

cleft palate and lip, and other defects. This abnormality affected

over 10,000 babies worldwide and led to the testing of all new drugs (and

eventually some pesticides and commodity chemicals) for teratogenic

potential. Several maternal diseases, such as

German

measles,

hypothyroidism, and

syphilis, to

name a few, are teratogenic.
