Urine tests through Doctors Data will check for the toxic metals. Go to

their site, www.doctorsdata.com (located in Illinois). Your doctor may be

required to order the testing kit for you.

I recently asked our pediatrician to administer a thimerasol-free vaccination

for my 12 year old and the doctor said that they would look for it. But if

he couldn't locate it, then he would sign a waiver due to medical conditions.

So he was very accomodating. You need to request it. These types of

requests will get these physicians to order more of the preservative free

vaccines. I am sure that when the doctors hobnob with their fellow physician

friends for their BBQs, they talk about a lot of these unusual events with

each other. Your question could really help many children down the road.

Good luck,

Just an FYI out there to anyone else on this list in King County (Washington

state). The immunizations here in Washington are all provided to physicians

free of charge by the state through each county's health department. In King

County, ALL of the vaccines that they provide to the docs are

Thimerosal-free. All of them. So if you are seeing a doc in this county,

your vaccines are all mercury-free. I know this because my husband is a

Pediatrician here and he has to order all the vaccines from the county

health department and he checked it out with them, and also brought me home

all the package inserts from each of the vaccines that he has in the office

so we could see for ourselves. The ones he is getting from them are the only

ones they provide so there wouldn't be a chance that each doc is getting

something different. Of course we only know about this county, but I thought

I would post this since it's likely I'm not the only one from here on this

list...

My son just recieved his vaccinations 3 weeks ago for kindergarten entry. I

asked them to make sure they were thimerisol free and they did. I even asked

to see the inert paper that came with the bottles. I too was scared to have

this done, but once I saw them open the packages infront of me and pull the

inert paper out for me to read, I felt better about him receiving it. The Dr.

was not a bit annoyed at my request. She told me that most of them

manufactured now are thimerisol free anyway, and I did hear that by 2002, it

will be mandatory. Hope this helps, Cheri****

On some other autism lists, there's been interest in the thimerisol-

free claims about a couple of the vax. Please confirm for

yourselves, but my recollection is that mercury is used in the

preparation of some vax, but not added as a preservative. (At the

time, I confirmed this at the pharmaceutical company's website - I

think it was Merck.) So detectable levels of mercury remain despite

the label.

During Rep. Burton's recent hearings, a chemist testified to finding

mercury in the MMR (supposedly merc-free). Again, this was due to

its use in preparing the viral mixture, not in being a preservative.

Oh, well, at least the level is going down.
