Mercury is such a deadly substance that even minimal exposure, as little as a drop on your hand, can prove fatal. It’s the second most toxic element after plutonium and is estimated to be 500 to 1,000 times more toxic than lead. This heavy metal burrows deep into the cells of the brain and other organs and can lead to serious central nervous system damage and crippling neurological disorders. It is a neurotoxin that acts directly on the tissues of the central nervous system. Mercury is even more neurotoxic than lead, cadmium, or arsenic. Unfortunately, it is used in vaccines and amalgam fillings, both widespread treatments that are designed to improve our health—and that may make us sick.
Mercury and Vaccines
Numerous studies indicate that the behavioral and psychological disposition of children diagnosed with autism is nearly identical to people who have confirmed mercury poisoning. Often, children diagnosed with autism began to show the symptoms shortly after vaccination. Many vaccines are (still) preserved with mercury, and children can easily exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recommended dose of “allowable” mercury exposure through vaccination.
