| It has since been removed from childhood vaccines, yet manufacturers still are using thimerosal in the adult flu vaccine.
However, a preservative-free vaccine in a single-dose syringe is available. It contains only trace amounts of thimerosal—a residual from early manufacturing steps. Thimerosal is used as a preservative in an amount less than 1 microgram (meg) of mercury per 0.5 milliliter (mL) dose. The regular injectable version contains 25 meg mercury/0.5 mL dose. Ask your doctor about it if you are getting a shot. |

The number of mumps cases has dramatically decreased due to the effective use of childhood vaccines. In addition to the remedy below, see Measles (p. 947) for herbal therapies that may also be effective for mumps due to their antiviral properties.
Poke root: This herb can be helpful in patients with mumps dues to its ability to cleanse the lymph nodes. Poke root contains triterpenoids and saponins, which are responsible for many of its therapeutic effects. |

 Since deficient magnesium and high levels of mercury are related, childhood vaccines containing thi-merosal would be especially dangerous to administer in children deficient in magnesium.
According to Dr. Seelig, "In Finland, which has a very high death rate from heart disease, there is a clear relationship between heart disease and the amount of magnesium in the soil (Karppanen and Neuvonen, 1973). |

 Businessweek, publishing a HealthDay report by Randy Dotinga, invokes particularly bad logic with this opening statement, "Adding to a growing body of evidence that rejects the idea that immunizations boost autism rates, a new study finds no proof that incidences of the disorder dropped after makers of most childhood vaccines stopped using a mercury-based preservative in their products."
Huh? How does a study focused only on mercury "reject the idea that immunizations boost autism rates? |

 Present until recently in virtually every vaccine children received throughout the 1990s, including hepatitis B, bacterial meningitis, diphtheria, whooping cough, and tetanus, thimerosal is now the subject of a well-known heated controversy questioning whether cumulative doses in childhood vaccines may play a role in autism and other developmental delays. |

 The present study was undertaken to determine whether the previously observed effect between thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines and NDs are still apparent in the VAERS as children have had a chance to further mature and potentially be diagnosed with additional NDs. In the present study, a cohort of children receiving thimerosal-containing diph-theria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccines in comparison to a cohort of children receiving thimerosal-free DTaP vaccines administered from 1997 through 2000 based upon an assessment of adverse events reported to the VAERS were evaluated. |

| In three test cases, lawyers for the parents will put forward three theories: that autism was caused either by the MMR vaccine, or by other childhood vaccines containing the mercury preservative thimerosol, or by a combination of thimerosol and MMR.

| The contribution of thimerosal from childhood vaccines (>50% effect) was greater than MMR vaccine on the prevalence of autism observed in this study. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study agree with a number of previously published studies. These studies have shown that there is biological plausibility and epidemiological evidence showing a direct relationship between increasing doses of mercury from thimerosal-containing vaccines and neurode-velopmental disorders, and measles-containing vaccines and serious neurological disorders. |
| In a recent review, Nelson and Bauman argue that a link between the preservative thimerosal, the source of the mercury in childhood vaccines, is improbable. In their defense of thimerosal, these authors take a narrow view of the original hypothesis, provide no new evidence, and rely on selective citations and flawed reasoning. We provide evidence here to refute the Nelson and Bauman critique and to defend the autism-mercury hypothesis.

| Department of Education datasets, and the CDC's yearly live birth estimates were undertaken RESULTS: It was determined that there was a close correlation between mercury doses from thimerosal—containing childhood vaccines and the prevalence of autism from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s. In contrast, there was a potential correlation between the number of primary pediatric measles-containing vaccines administered and the prevalence of autism during the 1980s. |

 In 1994, the CDC capped prices of childhood vaccines the agency purchased for use in public health centers throughout the country—the source for most children in the United States. Some companies then stopped selling vaccines to the government, although they continued to supply private doctors and health plans at much higher prices. There is no doubt that drug companies could not make as much on childhood vaccines as they could on remedies for high cholesterol or erectile dysfunction, but were they taking a loss? |

Since the universally found organochlorine contaminants known as PCBs can powerfully and permanently lower the amount of catecholamines produced in the brain, it is no surprise that the number of children developing ADHD is on the increase. Indeed, mothers who have higher body levels of other catecholamine-depleting toxins, such as the commonly found organochloride pesticide known as DDT and its metabolite DDE, are also more likely to have children affected by ADHD. |

 And although thimerosal has been phased out of childhood vaccines, the vast majority of flu shots given to children and adults still contain it, and it is believed that many pediatricians are still using unexpired vials of thimerosal-containing vaccines.32

| Perhaps the worst shortages are of childhood vaccines. In 2000, the supply of the combined vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough was so short that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommended that infants receive only the first three of the five recommended doses. Booster shots were eliminated. The agency also suggested deferral of the second dose of the measles, mumps, and German measles vaccine and of the chickenpox vaccine. |

| There is no doubt that drug companies could not make as much on childhood vaccines as they could on remedies for high cholesterol or erectile dysfunction, but were they taking a loss? Drug company profits are so large that one would hope the companies would be willing to make less profitable but vital drugs as a social service—and a thank-you to the public that subsidizes them so handsomely. But that is not the way this industry works. It all comes down to dollars and cents. |

 Possibly one of the saddest realities today is that the common practice of administering childhood vaccines may be introducing carcinogenic substances into millions of children and contributing to pediatric cancers. This subject is also very controversial, but some researchers have come up with information that is quite alarming.

 Algaecides and childhood vaccines are also potential sources. Inhalation is the most frequent cause of exposure to mercury. The organic form is readily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract (90-100%); lesser but still significant amounts of inorganic mercury are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract (7-15%). Target organs are the brain and kidneys (Roberts 1999; ASTDRToxFAQs™ for Mercury).

| Yet these potent carcinogens are in most childhood vaccines.
?Vaccines also can contain viruses, or bacteria that contain viruses, and some viruses have been associated with certain cancers. Also, vaccinations for one type of virus can carry unexpected viruses in them that may come from the animals used to create the vaccine. For example, the polio vaccine of the 1950s and 1960s, that was injected into millions of children, was found to carry an unexpected virus from the monkey kidney cells that were used to cultivate the polio vaccine. |

 In fact, the program has been greatly successful in meeting its dual objectives: stabilizing a previously perilous vaccine supply and establishing an expedient and effcient forum to provide care for children injured as a result of a reaction to certain childhood vaccines.
As mentioned in the article, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the secretary) did revise the Vaccine Injury Table to make it consistent with the most current medical and scientific knowledge regarding adverse events associated with covered vaccines. |
