Summary
A small but vocal group of doctors and activists believe that mercury may be the culprit in the growing number of cases of autism and ADD in America. Trace amounts of mercury are present in Thimerosal, a preservative used in many vaccines. Children receive 23 vaccinations in the first two years of life--too many, say some doctors, especially now that so many deadly childhood diseases have been eradicated.

Details
- Some experts say there are about 800,000 learning disabled children in the US, while others put the number as high as eight million, according to Dr. Jay Gordon.
- Granted, there are plenty of research studies to document the fact that some vaccines are necessary to protect against serious diseases.
- One shot at a visit starting later in the first year and perhaps in the second year of life.
- Over the past 15 to 20 years, the number of cases of autism in children has gone from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 150 today.
- Learning disabilities were first noted in 1963, but the problem was rare and very few children were identified with the disorder.
- Today, one child in six is diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADHD).
- Because the onset of autism usually begins during the period when children are receiving many vaccines, most parents are convinced that vaccines trigger the disorder.
- If all these problems are not caused by vaccines, "I wish the medical community would explain where all the damaged children are coming from," Ann Dachel says.
- She is a school teacher, a member of the National Autism Association, and the mother of a boy with autism and a daughter who developed epilepsy after receiving a Hepatitis B vaccine.
- Hepatitis B is a disease transmitted through high-risk adult behavior involving intravenous drug use and unprotected sex.
- Some drug makers said there was only a trace amount of mercury in their products and others claimed they are producing mercury-free vaccines.
- It is more than apparent that at this point in time no one can guarantee parents that all mercury has been removed from childhood vaccines.
