Did you know that the two biggest culprits of mercury exposure for US residents come from dental amalgams and vaccinations? We’re willing to bet that most people aren’t aware of this, but the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) have conveniently chosen to overlook this serious statistic. In fact, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the other agencies have decided they’d rather focus on the mercury exposure that’s possible through consuming seafood. While this may seem like a good start, it’s not enough. The NIH actually refuses to fund studies that have anything to do with mercury in amalgams and vaccines.
So, why exactly are they turning a blind eye to these facts? To be honest, there isn’t an “official” reason, but we think that by the end of this article, you can probably think of a few.
Let’s take it back to 1959, when children received four different immunizations for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and smallpox. When this was going on, only about one in 10,000 children developed autism. However, more diseases meant more vaccinations, which meant children received more injections. More of these injections meant the children were receiving more mercury. A little over 20 years later, children born in 1981 were typically injected with 135 micrograms of mercury a year. Consequently, one out of 2,600 children born in this year developed autism. That’s a start contrast between the two years.
In the year 1996, even more were added, and the typical amount of mercury exposure children received was up to a whopping 246 micrograms per year! This meant that one out of a mere 350 children were diagnosed with autism. Finally, in 2004, children were exposed to even more vaccines (13), as well as some booster shots. In combination, these children received up to 33 injections before they even hit two years old. That year, they found that one out of every 68 families had an autistic child.
Sure, there are many articles out there claiming the mercury preservative “thimerosal’ is safe. However, it comes as no surprise to know that the majority of said articles were written by researchers paid by the people who actually make these vaccines. Autism isn’t the only condition caused by mercury exposure; it’s also associated with Alzheimer’s. Those who’ve been diagnosed with the disease actually shrink by a whole 25%, and can develop various other issues.
Dental amalgams are the number one source of mercury poisoning to the adult brain. The average filling contains a whole 750,000 micrograms of mercury, releasing approximately 10 micrograms per day!
So, what’s the cure? Sure, you can refuse your mercury amalgam fillings or not consume as much fish. However, vaccines are mandatory in the US, and it’s likely you’ve already had some vaccines. In addition, coal-fire power plants work to put 48 tons of mercury into the atmosphere by burning coal. Once it’s inside of your tissues, the only way to get rid of it is to properly detox.
