OFFICIAL STATEMENT: US Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention (CDC)

• “Mercury occurs naturally and is found everywhere in the environment.”

• “The level of mercury exposure from vaccines is low.”

• “Evidence is accumulating of lack of harm resulting from exposure to thimerosal in vaccines.”

Mercury and Vaccines (Thimerosal

Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative used in some vaccines and other products since the 1930s. There is no convincing scientific evidence of harm caused by the low doses of thimerosal in vaccines, except for minor reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site. However, in July 1999, the Public Health Service agencies, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and vaccine manufacturers agreed that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated

in vaccines as a precautionary measure.---CDCCDC

本則新聞由中時電子報提供 本則新聞由中時電子報提供 2008/06 04:16 2008/06 04:16 • 國人使用俗稱「銀粉」的「汞齊」( Amalgam )補牙行之多年

,但近年相關研究顯示,人體長期攝入汞齊,將導致罹患阿茲海默症風險大增。衛生署長林芳郁昨天表示,將指示所屬針對相關問題進行專案研究,若證實汞齊對人體有害,不排除全面禁用。  立委賴士葆昨天在立法院質詢衛生署長林芳郁,他說,相關資料顯示,健保目前補助民眾補牙用的醫療用素材包括汞齊、樹脂、玻璃離子體,推估國內至少有四分之一牙醫師用汞齊為患者補牙。

•  他說,汞齊中除了銀、水銀,還有錫、鋅、銅等重金屬,其中水銀亦即汞的含量,至少就占了五成。  衛生署官員指出,汞齊對人體的危害性在國外一直有爭議,歐美等國已有許多牙醫師推行「除汞運動」,瑞典更早在多年前就禁用汞齊補牙。美國食品暨藥物管理局(FDA)日前也宣布,即日起就汞齊補牙的安全性廣徵各界意見,預訂明年七月就是否修改汞齊使用規範,作出結論。  衛生署藥政處長廖繼洲表示,目前相關研究僅知汞齊可能對人體有神經毒性,若FDA證實汞齊補牙對人體有害,進而宣布全面禁用,我國也會跟進。現階段他建議,六歲以下兒童、孕婦、哺乳婦女及免疫不全患者,最好能使用汞齊以外的材質補牙。  他強調,至於已用汞齊補牙者,也不須刻意敲掉,因為重做填牙的過程中,患者吞入碎裂汞齊的機率可能更大。

ETHYL VS METHYL

• Main chemical difference: Ethyl form contains extra carbon compound on molecule, making it larger.

• Some scientists contend extra carbon compound makes ethylmercury less likely to cross the blood-brain barrier.

• Methylmercury shown to remain in blood longer than ethyl (1/2 life of 50 days vs. 7 days for ethyl); it accumulates more readily in the body. But ethyl converts more readily to inorganic Hg, which appears to remain in brain longer.

• Despite these differences, FDA researchers assumed that the two forms of mercury were equal in toxicity.

• Arsenic is “less toxic” than cyanide.

Bolus vs. Chronic ExposureFDA’s “Interpretation”

• FDA totaled 4 large “bolus” doses at birth, 2, 4, & 6 months (162.5mcg) and divided by 180 days.

• 162.5mcg divided by 180 = 0.9mcg per day.

• This “average” daily exposure was just above the EPA limit, but below FDA and CDC limits.

• Analogy: You can take 2 tylenol a day for 60 days and be fine. But 120 tylenol in one day is a lethal dose.

What is CHELATION?

• From Greek chele, or claw.• Developed for lead poisoning by Army.• Sulfur-based agents bind with heavy metals.• Use ONLY under doctor’s supervision.

• Two main agents currently in use:

DMSA: Di-Mercapto-Succinic Acid IV, or more typically in children, orally

DMPS: Di-Mercapto-Propane-Sulfonate Transdermal patch (untested, controversial, more potent?)

Mady Hornig – Columbia UniversityHornig used one mouse strain with genetic Hg sensitivity and autoimmunity and two strains without them, then replicated the immunization schedule using thimerosal-containing vaccines.

• Sensitive mice showed significant delay in weight gain.

• Sensitive mice had enlarged brains, noted in autistic children, vs. controls.

• “Behavioral impoverishment” was highly significant the sensitive strain.

• 40 percent of sensitive mice were “self-mutilatory” at six months, ie, frantically grooming or biting tails.

• One mouse groomed through partner’s skull.

Generation 4: All Outcomes• HMO A: Cumulative exposure at 3 months resulted in a

significant positive association with tics (RR:1.89)

• HMO B, increased risks of language delay were found for cumulative exposure at 3 months (RR: 1.13) and 7 months (RR: 1.07)

• HMO C, no significant associations were found.

• CONCLUSION: No consistent significant associations were found between for neuro-developmental outcomes. Conflicting results were found at different HMOs for certain outcomes.

“NEW” CDC findings – ONE IN 150 -- Feb 8, 20078 year olds in 2000 and 2002 (born 1992 & 1994)

Average ASD was 6.7 per 1,000 for 8-year-olds in 2000 (1992 birth cohort) and 6.6 per 1,000 8-year-olds in 2002.

About 1 in 150 children. Most sites found 5.2 to 7.6 per 1,000. (A 46% difference).

Prevalence was much lower (3.3 per 1,000) in Alabama and higher (10.6 per 1,000) in New Jersey in 2002.

Prevalence increased 10% from 1992 cohort to 1994 cohort in the six sites with data for both years (HiB, HepB, Rho-D added 1988-1992).

SF: ASD kids more likely born in polluted areas

• 284 ASD children & 657 controls, born in 1994 in Bay Area.

• Assigned exposure level by birth tract for 19 chemicals.

• Risks for autism were elevated by 50% in tracts with the highest chlorinated solvents and heavy metals.

• Highest risk compounds were mercury, cadmium, nickel, trichloroethylene, and vinyl chloride.

• Risk from heavy metals was almost twice as high as solvents.

• “Our results suggest a potential association between autism and estimated metal concentrations, and possibly solvents, in ambient air around the birth residence.”

• Urine samples from 100s of French children yielded “evidence for a link between autism and heavy metals.”

• Samples from ASD children had high levels of porphyrins – used to produce of haem, the oxygen-carrying component in haemoglobin.

• Heavy metals block haem, causing porphyrins to accumulate in urine.

• Coproporphyrin was 2.6 times higher in autism cases than controls.

• One author said it was “Highly likely heavy metals are responsible for childhood autism in a majority of cases.”
