Lancet admits methylmercury can cause autism.

It leaves out ethylmercury (mentions methylmercury) but then we cannot expect

medical journals to be THAT truthful. Jagannath.

Developmental neurotoxicity of industrial chemicals Dr, Prof P Grandjean

Summary Neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, attention deficit

disorder, mental retardation, and cerebral palsy are common, costly, and can

cause lifelong disability. Their causes are mostly unknown. A few industrial

chemicals (eg, lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs], arsenic,

and toluene) are recognised causes of neurodevelopmental disorders and

subclinical brain dysfunction. Exposure to these chemicals during early fetal

development can cause brain injury at doses much lower than those affecting

adult brain function. Recognition of these risks has led to evidence-based

programmes of prevention, such as elimination of lead additives in petrol.

Although these prevention campaigns are highly successful, most were initiated

only after substantial delays. Another 200 chemicals are known to cause clinical

neurotoxic effects in adults. Despite an absence of systematic testing, many

additional chemicals have been shown to be neurotoxic in

laboratory models. The toxic effects of such chemicals in the developing human

brain are not known and they are not regulated to protect children. The two main

impediments to prevention of neurodevelopmental deficits of chemical origin are

the great gaps in testing chemicals for developmental neurotoxicity and the high

level of proof required for regulation. New, precautionary approaches that

recognise the unique vulnerability of the developing brain are needed for

testing and control of chemicals.

After all, they (the pro-vaccine lobbyists) say to themselves, you can't make

an omelette without

breaking eggs. But the eggs being broken are small, helpless, and innocent

babies, while the omelette is being enjoyed by the pediatricians and vaccine

manufacturers. - L. Coulter, PhD

It certainly seems that we are seeing a fresh wave of tuna mercury stuff. But

tuna mercury has been around a long time. Coal was the primary source of fuel

that spawned the industrial revolution. Towns, cities and villages used to be

blackened by coal soot. Where was the autism?

Canned tuna has been consumed for a very long time. Charlie the Tuna is a

household name. There's nothing statistical to suggest that Charlie is

responsible for the autism epidemic.

Brubacher 2005 at least indicates that ethylmercury is more volatile and

therefore more neurotoxic than methylmercury. Before this study the misguided

consensus was it can't possibly hit the brain because it vanishes from the blood

meaning it leaves the body.

Now that a handful of lab coats have shown that thimerosal-mercury does enter

the brain and dissolves/decays there leaving significantly high concentrations

of bad mercury the mantra switched to " well it's not enough " .

The problem is we parents have had enough.

The one's needing over-accommodations to over-come their dubiously raw doubts

are the same ones controlling the research dollars and also more than likely

have caused the problem due to their scientific brain deficits and/or commercial

enterprises.

Why is it the best that these autism charities and their drug company parent

groups...the big thinkers can't develop the guts and brains to support

thimerosal and vaccine research?

Folks we can't allow these so called groups to harness our energy because as we

saw with the horrible CAA bill they strongly resent any sense of a vaccine

connection plugged into the autism epidemic. I really feel that we parents need

to remain unbridled speaking out of our children and future generations of

children.

We can go a lot farther than just getting the stupid stuff banned.
