It is hard to believe I must admit. Also formaldehyde and phenol, neomycin
which can cause shock.
"Coincidentally, soon after Cong. Mica's hearings, CDC (via FDA) discovered
that "the mercury dose in vaccines recommended for American babies in their
first six months of life exceeds the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
limit for methyl mercury." [Severyn K citing Harvey SC. Heavy Metals - in
Goodman LS and Gilman A. The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 5th ed.,
Mackmillan 1975, p. 937 - in Vaccine News Alert, July 1999, published by

"In research facilities, when scientists want to create an autoimmune
reaction in test animals, they most often select mercury as the challenge
material. When mercury is injected in small amounts, autoimmune responses
can occur in nearly 100% of the animals."- Hal Huggins DDS

And we wonder why we have an epidemic of autoimmune diseases.
According to Chang at the University of Arkansas, one microgram damages
nerve tissue. It takes 70 days to eliminate half of it.......Glioma cells of
the brain are destroyed at 0.2 ppm ionic mercury, and only 0.04ppm of
methylmercury. Even the most resistant parts of the central nervous system
are destroyed at 2.5 ppm. Ten ppm ionic mercury will induce cancer-causing
DNA-DNA cross-links. This amount can also cause genetic defects....The
blood-brain barrier loses its protective selectivity at 1ppm within hours
of administrationof either ionic form or methylmercury....One atom of
mercury kills (cells)."---Dr Huggins DDS
"there is no safe level of mercury and no one has actually shown there is a
safe level and I would say mercury is a very toxic substance."--Dr Friberg
MD Ph.D. former head of toxicology WHO.
"And combination of substances in toxicology can be greater than the sum of
its parts. "With lead and mercury, for instance, a toxicity rating of 1 for
each mercury and lead equals not 2, but 60 when combined."---Huggins
US Wants Mercury Out of Vaccines By Lauran Neergaard AP Medical Writer
Wednesday, July 7, 1999; 4:04 p.m. EDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government is
about to ask manufacturers to remove from vaccines a type of mercury used as
a preservative since the 1940s, citing concern that small infants now need
so many immunizations that they may get too much of the chemical, The
Associated Press has learned....
