The Biggest Enemy of Your Child’s Brain & Body Is Mercury and Other Toxic Heavy Metals!

Not all
metals are toxic to our children’s brains and bodies. In fact some are essential minerals that are
needed for optimal health. So which
heavy metals are toxic and poisoning their bodies and impairing their brain
function?

Aluminum / Antimony / Arsenic
Cadmium / Copper / Iron
Lead / Mercury / Selenium
Thallium / Nickel / Tin
*Essential
or otherwise benign elements that are or can be dangerous or even fatal in
large quantities.
Heavy
Metals are the most toxic non-radioactive substances on earth. They are naturally occurring elements. However, many of the ways that we are exposed
to them are anything but “natural”.
The
most toxic of the heavy metals is mercury.
Mercury greatly impairs the human brain and nervous system. It can and does cause all sorts of
neurological symptoms. Many of these
symptoms are identical to widespread neurological and psychological
disorders. Autism is only one of the
disorders that the symptoms of heavy metals mimic. They also produce symptoms of diseases and
disorders like Attention Deficient (with or without Hyper Activity), Bipolar
disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD), Schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s, Dementia,
Parkinson’s, not to mention, all sorts of learning disabilities such as
dyslexia.
Major
Sources of Mercury
Where
does the majority of this harmful stuff come from? All we need to do to find it in abundance is
look in the mirror and say “Ahhh”.
Amalgam fillings, otherwise known as “silver” fillings (although contain
little to no sliver), are 50% + mercury.
The other metals that can be found in fillings are generally some
combination possibly including aluminum, nickel and tin.
If you
are saying to yourself… But my 2 year
old, or 6 year old, or 14 year old etc. doesn’t even have any fillings, let me
just ask you – What about you? It is a
well-known fact that mercury has the ability to cross the placenta and will
pass through breast milk. This is why
the USDA’s current recommendation is that pregnant women not eat tuna,
albacore, and other fish high in mercury content, at all during pregnancy or
while breast-feeding.
Testing
of umbilical cord blood has recently discovered fetuses have 70% more mercury
in their blood than that of their mothers!
The EPA estimates for 1999-2000 a total of 630,000 newborns had unsafe
levels of mercury1. This leads me to
believe that it is the priority of the mother’s body to first protect itself
even at the detriment of the fetus. I’m
sure most moms like myself would much rather they get sick to protect their
children’s health. However, it is not up
to us consciously. This is why it is so
important for mothers (and possibly even fathers) to go through their own
complete detoxification process before pregnancy and while breast-feeding. In addition, they should take major steps to
protect themselves from exposure.
If you
are hearing this information for the first time... Before you decide to have all your amalgam
fillings removed or the teeth pulled, consider using Denta-ChelatTM
instead. Speaking of teeth
pulled... You can read a very
interesting article "Corpses’ teeth may have to be pulled". Basically it states that to conform to
mercury emission reduction laws in Scotland, crematories will have to either
install very expensive filtration systems or pull the teeth. This just reiterates how dangerous these
metals are in our mouths. If the air
can't handle these amalgam fillings - How can our bodies?!?
Denta-ChelatTM
is a patented mouth wash that locks up the metals vaporized from fillings. So if you're like me and can't really afford
(without greatly reducing funds for Hannah's treatment) to have your mouth full
of amalgams replaced, it is a great alternative. I highly recommend using it directly before
and after any dental work (even routine cleanings). Also, after each brushing daily or after
drinking any soda, hot coffee or tea. If
you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to get pregnant, I recommend using it
after each brushing and after each meal.
The grinding of these metals from our fillings when we eat, especially when eating and drinking hot and acidic foods, causes these harmful heavy metals to vaporize and leach out. This causes re-exposure that can harm mother’s and fetus’s cells and tissues again and again for years to come. In addition to the re-exposure and resulting tissue and cellular damage, the mixture of more than one heavy metal raises the toxicity. This mix of metals makes the amalgam fillings very harmful. This can happen even with very small exposures. In addition, amalgam mercury can combine with bacterial toxins to produce even more toxic
species2.
Other
fetal exposure could come from mother’s who are Rh negative and received RhoGam
injections during pregnancy or post partum.
It is my understanding that Johnson and Johnson has only recently made
(or possibly claim) their RhoGam injection is mercury free. When I found out the RhoGam injections that I
have received contained mercury, it absolutely infuriated me! No governmental agency has ever claimed that
ANY amount is “tolerable” during pregnancy.
Then the FDA approves a drug that is only given to pregnant and
postpartum women which contains mercury?
I
personally received a total of 3 RhoGam shots during my pregnancy and directly
following the birth of my daughters.
Within 2 weeks of the first one, I started having preterm labor and had
to be placed on uterine monitoring.
Within hours of the second one, I had to be hospitalized for preterm
labor. I was placed on a terbutaline
pump that was ineffective to keep my uterus at rest. Terbutaline is a steroid that is used to stop
pre-term contractions. By 3 weeks
following the 2nd injection, I was full blown pre-eclamptic. My liver was killing my babies and me. I had gained 14 pounds of toxins and water
weight within 4 days. I had to deliver 9
½ weeks early by C-section. Within a
week to 10 days following my post-partum injection, Hannah (our autistic twin)
developed chronic, explosive, foul smelling; yellowy, yeasty smelling stools
that lasted for years to come. A week
following the gut symptoms she actually developed a thrush diaper rash infection.
Were
all these events coincidental? have a hard time believing that! Once I read that mothers with autistic
children are more than 40% likely to be Rh negative as compared to (I believe
it is) less than 6% in the regular population.
With statistics like that, these “coincidents” can’t be ignored!
Developing
fetuses will be affected the most by heavy metals because their brains are
growing much faster than an older child or adult. In addition, it is the body’s survival
instinct to store toxins it can’t rid in body fat. The only real fat of a fetus or infant is in
the brain. In addition, the cells might
actually try to use metals like they are essential minerals or “building
materials” for the brain. Therefore
causing the body to hold on to those toxins
The
other major accumulation of mercury comes from vaccinations. Mostly these are childhood vaccines but the
flu vaccine also contains significant mercury loads. Unfortunately the people who are at the
biggest risk of getting seriously or fatally ill from the flu are the exact
people who can’t handle the toxic load from the mercury they contain.
Their
mothers may be carrying a toxic amount in their teeth, getting vaccinations
themselves, getting RhoGam shots during pregnancy or directly after giving
birth (it is my understanding Johnson & Johnson has recently stopped using
a preservative containing mercury), eating mercury containing fish or using
other cosmetics containing mercury.
On May
31, 2000 the FDA asked vaccine manufacturers to reduce or eliminate the mercury
containing preservative Thimerosal (voluntarily) from their vaccines. Thimerosal is a preservative that is 50%
ethyl mercury that is used in vaccines and may be contained in other injectable
medications like RhoGam. The primary
purpose of Thimerosal is to save a buck or 2.
The manufacturers use Thimerosal to reduce the risk of
"contamination" from reinserting sterile needles in multi-vial
bottles. - Is it me or is "contamination" in a vaccine an paradoxical?! They can save a little money by packaging
vaccines in multi-vial doses rather than single doses.
Some
vaccinations now claim to be “preservative free” however they STILL CONTAIN
MERCURY! Some manufacturers have just
relabeled their informational inserts to remove it from under preservative
ingredient. This may be true for other
injectable medications as well. However,
the 3rd party lab that tested these “preservative free” / “mercury free”
vaccines are finding they still contain mercury and aluminum. For all the details you can view the entire
press release declaring "Vaccines Are Not Mercury Free " dated 8/12/04 by the Health Advocacy in the
Public Interest (HAPI).
I am not entirely anti-vaccination (at least not yet). At this point I have reason to believe there are safe alternatives using homeopathic means for immunization that are just as effective as vaccination without side effects4. I plan on exploring all my options when I am faced with that decision in the future. I will say that I have no intentions of giving either one of my girls "boosters" especially without getting a titers test first. What I am very much against is being in the position to put my children at risk of contracting a life threatening illness OR poisoning them with toxic heavy metals!
In
addition to the two biggest sources of mercury as discussed previously (amalgam
fillings and injectable medications such as vaccinations), unfortunately, it
can be found in many products some of which can’t be avoided. It is in our air, water and fish and some
fish oil supplements. This is one of the
reasons I personally believe it best not to get your omega fatty acids from
fish oil supplements. Especially from
liver oils - there would be high concentrations of toxins (and not just
mercury) contained in the liver. Some
supplement labs claim to filter out the mercury. However, according to Dr. Boyd Haley, mercury
(maybe certain types) can't be totally filtered out. My personal opinion is... Why risk it you can get omega's from other
sources. Not to mention many times
parents have a much easier time getting kids to take flax oil and/or borage
oils than cod liver oil!
Mercury can also be found in paint prior to 1992 some nasal sprays, eye ointments, and even some cheap cosmetics. Make sure you check labels carefully.
Furthermore,
mercury tends to accumulate in our bodies and environment. In other words, the more it’s used the more
we will excrete and the more we will be exposed in the future from our air and water. Therefore, we can’t do much about the damage
we have already done to our environment.
We can only prevent future uses and exposures. If we don't, we'll just add to our future
exposure.
Still
another extremely harmful effect of heavy metals on the body is that it
increases free radicals in the body by a hundred or even thousand fold. Every time you have a free radical hit a
piece of metal in your body it splits that free radical hundreds or thousands
of times. This may be the biggest reason
heavy metals cause cancer.
Another
viscous cycle of heavy metals is that it goes hand in hand with pathogenic and
disease causing organisms, things such as bacteria, yeasts, mold and
fungus. This is because as Robert O
Young, Ph.D., D.Sc, states in Sick and Tired?: They love to swim in their own
waste products and they love the low oxygen levels that come with
acidity." Furthermore, there is
reason to believe that a waste product of microorganisms in the body is
inorganic mercury5. So in effect heavy
metals attract the microorganisms and the microorganisms produce more heavy
metals. When bacteria are added to
metallic tin in the gut it converts to harmful inorganic tin. As stated previously, amalgam mercury combined with bacterial toxins can produce
more toxic species2. In a nutshell,
bacteria makes metals more toxic and metals makes more toxic species of
bacteria.
These
are just some of the reasons I highly suggest an alkalizing, ionizing water
filter. To balance the Ph level. To raise the oxygen level to get rid of
pathogenic organisms. Many can't survive
in oxygen. The ionization of the water
helps drive heavy metals, other toxins and filth (to use Dr. Young's term) out
of the cells and tissues.
