Study: Babies quickly excrete vaccine mercury
The American Academy of Pediatrics really, really, really wants you to
vaccinate your child.

In light of the controversy over the fictional television show 'Eli
Stone' (which the AAP started when it called for ABC to cancel the
pilot episode of the program), the doctors' group is lifting the
embargo on a new study.

The reason? The study shows the ethyl mercury previously used in U.S.
vaccines as a preservative (thimerosal) is excreted much faster than
other forms of mercury in the environment. The researchers discovered
this by testing 216 infants in Argentina, where thimerosal is still
routinely used. (Thimerosal is still found in most U.S. flu shots.)

"The body rids the kind (of mercury) found in thimerosal more that 10
times faster than it removes the kind one might encounter in a Friday
night fish fry," according to a press release about the study from the
University of Rochester.

The study's main author is Michael Pichichero, a professor of
microbiology and immunology, pediatrics anD medicine at the Unviersity
of Rochester.

Oh, and Pichichero has also served as a consultant to vaccine
manufacturers, including GSK Biologicals, sanofi pasteur, Wyeth
Pharmaceuticals and MedImmune.

Boyd Haley, chairman of the chemistry department at the University of
Kentucky who has investigated the effects of mercury on tissues,
called the study "the most incredible ignorant report that I have ever
read."

This is great news. Stupendous!

Now we have proof that Thimerosal did not accummulate in children
given multiple vaccines over a periodof several years.

One more piece of scientific EVIDENCE, that proves that there is no
link between Thimerosal and Autism.

BTW, Haley has to call it ignorant, sinply because it refutes the
basis for his business. IOW, he has a financial interest.

Here is another story about this stucy:

Babies excrete vaccine-mercury quicker than originally thought
February's issue of Pediatrics offers another reason to rethink
blaming the spike in autism diagnoses on thimerosal, a mercury-
containing preservative routinely used in several childhood vaccines
until the late '90s.

New research from the University of Rochester suggests that infants'
bodies expel the thimerosal mercury much faster than originally
thought - thereby leaving little chance for a progressive building up
of the toxic metal.

MP: Just what I have been saying for years. Imagine that.

This debunks the great myth, believed by both parents and some
pediatricians, that the gauntlet of thimerosal-containing shots many
infants received in the 1990s - when the average number of vaccines
kids received increased sharply - had put them at risk for
developmental disorders.

"Thimerosal has been used for decades, but the surge in vaccinations
caused fear that possible accumulations of ethyl mercury, the kind in
thimerosal, might exceed safe levels - at least, when based on the
stringent risk guidelines applied to its better-understood chemical
cousin, methyl mercury, which is associated with eating fish," said
Michael Pichichero, M.D., professor of Microbiology/Immunology,
Pediatrics and Medicine at the University of Rochester and the study's
main author.

But scientists are learning that the two mercury species actually
behave quite differently.

MP: Just what I have been saying for years. Imagine that.

Previous research conducted in Seattle just a few years ago
demonstrated that the ethyl mercury has a more difficult time crossing
the blood-brain barrier, posing even less toxic risk than methyl
mercury. This is especially telling, since even methyl mercury itself
has also proven rather benign at low levels. In fact, just a few years
ago, a Rochester study showed that children born to mothers-to-be who
ate an average of 12 meals of fish a week - about 10 times the amount
that the average U.S. citizen eats - showed no harmful symptoms.

MP: WOW! Even MEHg is not as bad as the anti-vac liar sociopaths
claimed. Imagine that!

And now, the most recent research from Rochester unveils further
differences between the two types of mercury: the body rids the kind
found in thimerosal more that 10 times faster than it removes the kind
one might encounter in a Friday night fish fry.

MP: Just what I have been saying for years. Imagine that.

In the Rochester study, 216 infants from R. Gutierrez Children's
Hospital (in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where thimerosal is still
routinely used in vaccines) were divided into three age groups to have
their blood-mercury levels tested both before and after shots were
administered at either their newborn, 2- or 6-month checkup.
Researchers learned that, in all three age groups, the half-life of
ethyl mercury in the blood - or, the time it takes for the body to
dispose of half the mercury, and then another half, and so on - was
measured to be 3.7 days. That's a far cry from the blood half-life of
methyl mercury, which is 44 days.

"Until recently, that longer half-life was assumed to be the rule for
both types of mercury. Now it's obvious that ethyl mercury's short
half-life prevents toxic build-up from occurring. It's just gone too
fast," Pichichero said.

MP: Just what I have been saying for years. Imagine that.

To illustrate, researchers cite that infants in the 6-month-old group
- who, in their lifetimes, had encountered more total ethyl mercury
that any other group studied - still had the same pre-vaccination
blood-mercury levels before their checkups as most 2-month-olds had
before theirs. This suggests that, before each round of shots, the
mercury has plenty of time to be cleared.

The study also showed that ethyl mercury was nearly undetectable in
urine samples; instead, it seemed that most of it was eliminated via
stools. That's good, because mercury in large amounts is toxic to
kidneys - yet in the study sample, there was no evidence of any harm
to renal tissues.

Great news. Safe, fast clearing and no damage.

These findings come in the wake of recent news from the California
Department of Health, which reported last month that autism rates
continue to mushroom in spite of the widespread removal of thimerosal
from most U.S. childhood vaccines in 2001, though it continues to be
used in vaccines used elsewhere in the world.

Thimerosal, hailed for its bacteria-killing properties, has been a
vaccine staple ingredient since the 1930s. But when the Environmental
Protection Agency announced in 1999 that the cumulative exposure
children typically received in vaccines might exceed a safe level for
intake based on methyl mercury statistics (even this "safe level" was
placed ten times lower than the amount held to pose real risk), public
health officials, together with the American Academy of Pediatrics,
recommended its removal - though still without concrete evidence of
harm. The decision demanded a new formulation be created and
administered -- at a higher cost.

"Though it's reassuring to affirm that these immunizations have always
been safe, our findings really have greater implications for world
health," Pichichero said. "Replacing the thimerosal in vaccines
globally would put these vaccines beyond what the world community
could afford for its children. It's a relief we haven't cause to do
that."

Obviously, Dr. Pichichero cares deeply about living children.

Boy, January 2008 was a bad year for the anti-vaccination liar
sociopaths.

Mark your calendar, and we'll party next year.
