I will come back the day when the mercury-autism link is proved to be true.

Fair enough. Will you also come back to apologize when the link is proven
false?

vax9000,

Don't listen to Rish, Peter or Cathy. They are just here to get on your
nerves and they aren't intersted in anything else but the "hate
everybody club" (you don't want you join either!)

I believe that mercury causes autism and vaccines are absolutely
worthless. (not to offend anyone of course) Zappers are much more
effective for fighting disease.
Rich.@. - 26 Jun 2005 03:55 GMT
>vaccines are absolutely
>worthless.

Someone mentioned that Mary was both a fool and a liar. I would like
to add another possibility: that she is a troll. Not even Jan Drew who
only posts anti-vac links (when she posts vaccination links) believes
that the positives of vaccines are well known and that if she had to
do it again she probably would vaccinate her children again.

Aloha,

Rich

i work in a healthfood store, and converse daily with mothers of
autistic children(some who btw, have been changed so drastically
through diet and supplementation that u wouldnt guess they were
autistic).

almost everyone have attributed it to the mercury in vaccines, and
almost all of the children have large amounts of mercury in their hair

Which bears out widespread opinion as to the quality of information to be
obtained in "Healthfood" stores.  The following study shows that what you
say is not true.   Another study of which Boyd Haley is joint author showed
there was less mercury in the baby hair of infants who later became autistic
than in a comparison group.

Mercury exposure in children with autistic spectrum disorder: case-control
study.

Ip P, Wong V, Ho M, Lee J, Wong W.

Division of Neurodevelopmental Paediatrics, The University of Hong Kong,
Hong Kong.

Although mercury has been proven to be a neurotoxicant, there is a lack of
data to evaluate the causal relationship between mercury and autism. We aim
to see if there is increased mercury exposure in children with autistic
spectrum disorder. We performed a cross-sectional cohort study over a
5-month period in 2000 to compare the hair and blood mercury levels of
children with autistic spectrum disorder (n = 82; mean age 7.2 years) and a
control group of normal children (n = 55; mean age 7.8 years). There was no
difference in the mean mercury levels. The mean blood mercury levels of the
autistic and control groups were 19.53 and 17.68 nmol/L, respectively (P =
.15), and the mean hair mercury levels of the autistic and control groups
were 2.26 and 2.07 ppm, respectively (P = .79). Thus, the results from our
cohort study with similar environmental mercury exposure indicate that there
is no causal relationship between mercury as an environmental neurotoxin and
autism.

The sainted Dr Boyd Haley (blessed be his name) has said that autistic
children have LOW amounts of mercury in their hair. Apparently this
indicates high amounts of mercury in the body.

Did I mention that Dr Haley (peace be unto him) is a fool?

You also mentioned he had fans who said he had apologized.

Just one of your MANY LIES.

Like this:

*A professor of chemistry deliberately talks about two different chemical
compounds (ethylmercury and methylmercury) as if they are interchangeable
and have identical properties*.

That is a LIE.

Dr Haley said NO such thing.

He said:

(methylmercury, ethylmercury, thimerosal dental amalgams, Hg vapor, Hg2+,
etc.) have been reported to be extremely toxic.

He is absolutely correct.

Ethylmercury has also been shown, like methylmercury, to accumulate in the
brain and causes tissue damage methylmercury, to accumulate in the brain and
causes tissue damage

Like methylmercury, ethylmercury is toxic to the brain and crosses the
blood-brain barrier. (9)  "Higher-dose exposure to ethylmercury from
Thimerosal results in toxicity comparable to that observed after high-dose
exposure to methylmercury."

This argues against the thimerosal-autism connection for two reasons:

1)  There isn't all that much mercury in vaccines in the first place,
   so where is all this mercury coming from?

2)  If they have lots of mercury in their hair samples (admittedly,
   a not-very-reliable technique), it says their bodies are good
   at getting rid of the stuff, and it's not getting into their
   brains.

My bother in-law's brother has 3 autistic children! His wife had birth

Birth control shots?

I see. Well...our problem was just in the other direction. Pergonal and

Does Depoprovera contain thimerosal?

No. According to the package insert, each ml contains:

Medroxyprogesterone acetate        150 mg
Polyethelene glycol 3350                28.9 mg
Polysorbate 80                               2.41 mg
Sodium Chloride                            8.68 mg
Methylparaben                               1.37 mg
Water for injection                          qs
(When necessary pH is adjusted with sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid or
both)

No mercury at all. WARNING! The shot does contain CHLORINE, which is known
to be highly toxic!

Forget chlorine. It has polyethelene glycol AKA antifreeze!!! No

And polyethylene glycol!!!!!! If ordinary ethylene glycol cause CANCER
(in association with intestinal flukes, of course), how much more
carcinogenic must the poly form be? And methylsomething!!! And
acetate! Isn't that what movie films used to be made of? And just look
at the sorbate. Hasn't anyone read betty Martini's latest warning (on
Jeff Rense's web site, so it must be almost as true as something on
Mercola's site) about how sorbaline (Splenda) is just DDT in disguise?

It looks like depoprovera works as a contraceptive by killing the
woman. Dead women don't breed.

You seem to find the most indredibly moronic professionals to tend to

I would not want to move there.

Sure they do, simply because the package insert is subject to review.

There is no such thing as a dentist who does not know that amalgam is
a combination of mercury with some other metals.

Also, please learn how to quote. We know that you don't know what you
are talking about so quoting is irrelevant to you, but it would help
the rest of us to put your nonsense into a context.

What you claimed that this dentist said is such utter bullshit that
anyone who walks by a dental school knows better.

Yuck...poly this and poly that....but no thimerosal.

And, the highly toxic sodium and chlorine.

And two polys which means a lot.

Here, though, you've fallen into the same trap that some of the
antivaxers have.  The deposition of metals in the hair is *not* an
excretory process; it's just the result of hair proteins containing lots
of cysteine, which has sulfhydryl groups that mercury latches on to.  And
in any case it accounts for very little removal of metals from the body.  
Therefore, you can't infer *anything* about how efficiently the body can
remove a load of mercury merely by looking at hair samples.  Some
antivaxers reacted to a study showing that a sample of autistic children
had *lower* mercury levels in their hair than did a sample of
neurotypical children by asserting that that must mean that autistic
children have difficulty excreting mercury.
