Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the association between blood mercury level and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Chinese children in Hong Kong.

METHODS:

Fifty-two children with ADHD aged below 18 years diagnosed by DSM IV criteria without perinatal brain insults, mental retardation or neurological deficits were recruited from a developmental assessment center. Fifty-nine normal controls were recruited from a nearby hospital. Blood mercury levels were measured by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrophotometry.

RESULTS:

The mean ages of cases and controls were 7.06 and 7.81 years respectively. Boys predominated (case = 44 [84.6 %], control = 44 [74.6 %]). There was significant difference in blood mercury levels between cases and controls (geometric mean 18.2 nmol/L [95 % CI 15.4 - 21.5 nmol/L] vs. 11.6 nmol/L [95 % CI 9.9 - 13.7 nmol/L], p < 0.001), which persists after adjustment for age, gender and parental occupational status (p < 0.001). The geometric mean blood mercury level was also significantly higher in children with inattentive (19.4 nmol/L, 95 % CI 13.3 - 28.5 nmol/L) and combined (18.0 nmol/L, 95 % CI 14.9 - 21.8 nmol/L) subtypes of ADHD. Blood mercury levels were above 29 nmol/L in 17 (26.9 %) cases and 6 (10.2 %) controls. Children with blood mercury level above 29 nmol/L had 9.69 times (95 % CI 2.57 - 36.5) higher risk of having ADHD after adjustment for confounding variables.

CONCLUSION:

High blood mercury level was associated with ADHD. Whether the relationship is causal requires further studies.

Unfortunately no matter how much evidence is brought forth there will be some people who, for whatever motive, will deny all of these findings.

We are seeing more and more cases of children with neurological disorders, and a myriad of other health related problems and the problem will not only continue, but it will get worse unless people react and we do something about this. Sooner rather than later, too many children have already become victims to this injustice, and unless people get it together and rally around problems like this one, nothing will ever change.

...except they don't. You either quote mine/misrepresent research or cherry pick crappy outlier studies that you can twist to your narrative. And now you're posting YouTube videos?? Please!

If it's a numbers game you want, let's see you debunk all of these papers, then:

Really? because I am sure I posted several research all indicating that the metals found in vaccines such as aluminum promotes oxidative stress and inflammation which causes neurological disorders.

I also posted several research papers that show that a correlation has been made between children that have been vaccinated and autism and other neurological disorders.

Instead of just "judging the book by the covers" you should read the information provided, more so if you do have kids.

Yes really!

You can post as much as you wish but you're just regurgitating out of context "research" and the fact that you're associating vaccines and autism shows just how ignorant you are of real research and science in general.

Oh, I don't cherry pick, I dissect.
What you're doing, by posting individual studies, which as I've already said are not in context, is what's known as cherry-picking.

Given that I am able to read and understand medical research (having worked in heakthcare for over 25 years) rather than just take notice of junk I actually take notice of robust and reproducible research especially when making decisions about my fully vaccinated and extremely healthy children.

Studies such as this.

As for your links suggesting that heavy metals cause neurological disorders well guess what? They can.

Guess what aren't in vaccines though?
Heavy metals.
The salts may be but they are very different from the elements and have very different pharmacokinetics.
It's like saying elemental sodium is part of common salt.

Here's what happens to thimerosal in vaccines (not that it's in many vaccines at all and has NEVER been in the MMR, ever.)
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...

What about aluminium in vaccines?
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...


And to say it again, it's very clear that you don't have the first clue about what you're posting.
You're just regurgitating nonsense from anti-vax sites aren't you?

Yes you do cherry pick, and the fact that you are stating that it doesn't matter how much evidence I post which contradicts your false claims it is obvious that you have already made up your mind and don't want to change it for whatever reasons you might have.

First of all, your claim that "you have worked in healthcare for over 25 years" doesn't make you an expert, and it doesn't give credence to your arguments when you are making such blatant claims about vaccines not being able to trigger neurological disorders and other health problems in children/individuals. People can work in the healthcare industry for decades and not know about these issues. The arguments you have given so far haven't proven at all your side of the argument. In fact, you have accused me of cherry picking when it is you who has done so, and let me explain why I say this.

So far I have posted about 15 research papers from different research teams all which point to the same thing. That vaccines can trigger neurological disorders and other health related problems due to the additives/adjuvants that can be found in them.

BTW, some of the research I have posted states in detail part of the problem. Some children, and young adults/individuals can have a genetic predisposition that would be a factor which would increase their chances of developing autism, or other neurological disorders. Even those that are not genetically predisposed can develop autism or some other neurological factor due to the total accumulation of additives found in the vaccines they received.

Then there is also the fact that not all vaccines would contain aluminum salts, or thimerosal because it may not have been needed, because it was thought that adding them could cause an undesirable immune result, or it wasn't expected to increase the desirable immune result, etc. Examples would be vaccines that have been inactivated (the virus is not alive) such as polio vaccines, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, MCV4, and influenza vaccines do not contain aluminum salts.

...
Not all vaccines contain aluminum salts because an adjuvant may not have been needed, was not expected to increase the desired immune response, or was going to cause an imbalance in the immune response. For example, inactivated Polio Virus (IPV) vaccine, measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR), varicella vaccine, Meningococcal conjugate (MCV4) vaccine, and influenza vaccines do not contain aluminum salts.2

The US licensed vaccines for children that contain aluminum adjuvants are3:
•DTP (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine)
•DTaP (diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine)
•Some but not all Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b) conjugate vaccines
•Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine
•Hepatitis B vaccines
•All combination DTaP, Tdap, Hib, or Hepatitis B vaccines
•Hepatitis A vaccines
•Human Papillomavirus vaccine
•Anthrax vaccine
•Rabies vaccine
...

www.immunizationinfo.org...

Also, even today many of the above vaccines can, and have been made with other additives which can trigger neurological problems.

This is why in the study you gave titled "A Population-Based Study of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccination and Autism" in the research results they did not find a causal effect, or link between autism and these vaccines.

Then there is also the fact, among others that there are many different manufacturers that make vaccines, and they all can have different methods in place, and use different ingredients to manufacture batches of vaccines to meet specific standards.

Not all healthcare institutions receive vaccination batches that come from the same manufacturer, and even if they do there can be differences in the ingredients used for batches made by the same manufacturer which would also be another factor which would determine whether a child/individual develops or doesn't develop autism or other neurological disorders.

To make my case in point, I will give you a small list of different manufacturing companies which give us the different ingredients they used to produce Meningococcal Vaccine(meningitis).

Notice all the different ingredients used by the different manufacturers to create the same type of vaccine? Not all of them use thimersol, but one does.

Unless these above facts are taken into account, it is possible for "some" research results not to show a causal link between autism, and other neurological disorders and vaccines.

(have to put this last paragraph separate from the above response due to not having enough space to be able to post it)

Of course, it is also probable that a child can get vaccinated, even with a vaccine batch from a manufacturer that uses thimerasol (thiomersal) and he/she "might" not develop a neurological disorder. As already stated there can be a genetic predisposition that is one of multiple factors in determining the end result. Apart from the other factors that have to be taken into account, the total accumulation of said substances that a baby/child/individual receives throughout his prenatal and postnatal care also influences the end results on whether or not that child/individual will develop some form of neurological disorder.

To post "some" of the ingredients manufacturers use for some vaccines and the fact that even at times they will add substances that they would not even properly describe, here is another example.

The description "buffered salt solutions" is one of the ways that manufacturers state that they have added aluminum salt with a buffer on their vaccine. And your guess is as good as mine when they state "other buffer and media ingredients" as that description could be used to mention an ingredient without actually stating what that ingredient is.

The one with the rats and thimerasol is very disingenuous indeed. The amounts given and frequency far, far exceeds what was ever given in vaccines. Ever. There's absolutely no comparison at all.

You've posted the one about the flu vaccine not being as effective as hoped a couple of times but have completely ignored the fact that in the study it still recommends it.
That's blindness.

You keep on posting links about mercury being a factor in neurological disorders even though there's effectively no mercury in childhood vaccines and hasn't been since 1999 (even though that mercury was bound as a salt and was ethylmercury etc etc etc).

You post citations from the following "experts" even though none of them have performed any research on vaccines or immunology.

You completely ignored the meta-analysis which included 1.2 MILLION children showing there is no link between autism and vaccinations.

Then you highlight formaldehyde...
You do know that your body produces and eliminates formaldehyde constantly don't you?

Then you lie and say that the buffered salt solution contains aluminium.
It doesn't.
Look up what a buffered salt solution in a vaccine is.
It tells you exactly what it is on the unaltered insert (not the one you've copy and pasted from).

The "other buffer and media ingredients" are diluents and compounds used in the production of the vaccines which are removed from the final product and MAY be present in trace amounts.
Ooh, just who knows what THEY may be...www.cdc.gov...


So my first instinct was correct.
You just regurgitate nonsense which fits your beliefs in spite of the evidence.

Anyway.

Here is a list of "some" of the manufacturers that make influenza vaccines and it includes some of the ingredients they use for their vaccines. Also, remember that there isn't just one type of influenza vaccine, there are other types and you can see some of those in the link if you would like. Also, notice that some vaccines are made for more than one type of virus.

Also, we all must remember that the developing brain, and nervous system of an infant/child is more susceptible to the effects of toxins, even those that are considered as "safer than others" such as aluminum phosphate which is safer than aluminum hydroxide, but it is still a toxic substance.

Formalin is a solution of formaldehyde in water btw which is also very toxic.

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are serious multisystem developmental disorders and an urgent global public health concern. Dysfunctional immunity and impaired brain function are core deficits in ASD. Aluminum (Al), the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant, is a demonstrated neurotoxin and a strong immune stimulator. Hence, adjuvant Al has the potential to induce neuroimmune disorders. When assessing adjuvant toxicity in children, two key points ought to be considered: (i) children should not be viewed as "small adults" as their unique physiology makes them much more vulnerable to toxic insults; and (ii) if exposure to Al from only few vaccines can lead to cognitive impairment and autoimmunity in adults, is it unreasonable to question whether the current pediatric schedules, often containing 18 Al adjuvanted vaccines, are safe for children? By applying Hill's criteria for establishing causality between exposure and outcome we investigated whether exposure to Al from vaccines could be contributing to the rise in ASD prevalence in the Western world. Our results show that: (i) children from countries with the highest ASD prevalence appear to have the highest exposure to Al from vaccines; (ii) the increase in exposure to Al adjuvants significantly correlates with the increase in ASD prevalence in the United States observed over the last two decades (Pearson r=0.92, p

and a significant correlation exists between the amounts of Al administered to preschool children and the current prevalence of ASD in seven Western countries, particularly at 3-4 months of age (Pearson r = 0.89-0.94, p = 0.0018-0.0248). The application of the Hill's criteria to these data indicates that the correlation between Al in vaccines and ASD may be causal. Because children represent a fraction of the population most at risk for complications following exposure to Al, a more rigorous evaluation of Al adjuvant safety seems warranted.

Abstract

There is a need to interpret neurotoxic studies to help deal with uncertainties surrounding pregnant mothers, newborns and young children who must receive repeated doses of Thimerosal-containing vaccines (TCVs). This review integrates information derived from emerging experimental studies (in vitro and in vivo) of low-dose Thimerosal (sodium ethyl mercury thiosalicylate). Major databases (PubMed and Web-of-science) were searched for in vitro and in vivo experimental studies that addressed the effects of low-dose Thimerosal (or ethylmercury) on neural tissues and animal behaviour. Information extracted from studies indicates that: (a) activity of low doses of Thimerosal against isolated human and animal brain cells was found in all studies and is consistent with Hg neurotoxicity; (b) the neurotoxic effect of ethylmercury has not been studied with co-occurring adjuvant-Al in TCVs; (c) animal studies have shown that exposure to Thimerosal-Hg can lead to accumulation of inorganic Hg in brain, and that (d) doses relevant to TCV exposure possess the potential to affect human neuro-development. Thimerosal at concentrations relevant for infants' exposure (in vaccines) is toxic to cultured human-brain cells and to laboratory animals. The persisting use of TCV (in developing countries) is counterintuitive to global efforts to lower Hg exposure and to ban Hg in medical products; its continued use in TCV requires evaluation of a sufficiently nontoxic level of ethylmercury compatible with repeated exposure (co-occurring with adjuvant-Al) during early life.

But heck, who needs so many case studies all which point to the link between these substances and neurological disorders when we can use Pardon's instinct to refute everything that these case studies state?... RIIIIGHT

Yes, the amount is substantial, however according to the lawsuit.

...
$100 million is prayed for, because the suit is a Class Action on behalf of all Americans in all States, concluded Elsman. “We will no longer take modern-medicine’s or the Government’s kool-aid. People deserve ‘informed consent’!”

Whether that is true or not is another matter. However, similar class action lawsuits have been done in the past and similar amounts have been awarded.

This nurse was pregnant when she was told that she had to be vaccinated as a requirement to keeping her job. She was very well informed about the possible negative effects from the substances in the vaccine and decided that the life of her child was more important than her job, and I agree with her.

If that amount, or any amount exceeding $5,000,000 is ever awarded from the results and conclusion from this class action lawsuit the amounts paid will go to several families all which have children that have been negatively affected by vaccines because their children developed neurological disorders or other health problems which case studies have found to be linked to the substances found in vaccines.
