Mercury poisoning issue back
Thirty years after a Japanese researcher identified Canada's
biggest case of mercury poisoning, he has returned to discover that the
problem is far from resolved and may be getting worse.
Laurie's Story: SIDS Death by Lethal
Injection
This is the story of Laura Marie who at 3 months of
age was given a lethal injection that wracked her tiny body with pain for
nearly 24 hours. The lethal injection. a DPT OPV shot, had been
administered by her pediatrician. What's the problem? Thimerosol, a
mercury compound used as a preservative in the vaccine. She's not the only
one. The Orcas warn us about the mercury we have released into the world.

Federal Warning On Tuna Planned: Finally Telling You about the Mercury.
The federal government plans to warn pregnant women, nursing mothers and
even those thinking of getting pregnant to limit their consumption of tuna as
part of a broad advisory concerning the dangers of eating fish and shellfish
with elevated levels of harmful mercury. But the corporations that pumped a more
toxic form of mercury directly into the veins of our kids got off Scot-free See also Messages from the Orca

Bush Aims to Slow Mercury Reduction Efforts
The Bush administration intends to roll back efforts to
reduce mercury pollution despite increasing scientific evidence of its
health risks, according to public health and environmental advocacy
groups.
Critics contend the administration's Clear Skies
initiative would allow coal fired power plants, the leading U.S. source of
mercury pollution, to emit three times the amount of the toxic substance
into the atmosphere than allowed under existing law.
The administration's policy is "outrageous," former
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Carol Browner told
reporters at a National Press Club briefing.
"It means more mercury in the air for longer," said
Browner, who served as EPA chief from 1993 to 2001 under President Bill
Clinton.

'Baby Hair' Study Shows Autistic Children Have
Altered Response to Mercury; Reduced Excretion of Toxic Metal May Explain
Autism Link Aug.
25 A study published this month in the International Journal of
Toxicology, the official journal of the American College of Toxicology,
provides the strongest clinical evidence to date supporting the theory
that mercury exposure is tied to autism.
One finding of the study that will be sure to draw
attention is the relatively high levels of mercury in the hair of normal
infants. These levels appear to be a direct result of the number of
mercury-containing amalgam fillings in the mother, as well as the mother's
fish consumption, during pregnancy. Many popular fish species contain high
levels of mercury. These results appear consistent with the notion that
mercury levels in women of child-bearing age are already dangerously high.
Thimerosal-containing infant vaccines can then push vulnerable children
over the edge.
"This study provides the clearest proof we have seen
so far," said Sallie Bernard, executive director of Safe Minds, "that
small differences in mercury exposure and detoxification ability can drive
huge differences in the brain development of small children. Recent
studies sponsored by vaccine health officials that have attempted to
reassure parents about the safety of so-called "low dose" mercury
exposures from vaccines have completely failed to assess individual
sensitivity to this neurotoxin. It only takes one child in 100 to have
reduced excretion capacity and you can have an epidemic of neurological
disease on your hands."
Safe Minds (Sensible Action For Ending
Mercury Induced Neurological Disorders) is a non-profit parents
organization founded to investigate the continuing risks to infants and
children of exposure to mercury from medical products, including
thimerosal in vaccines. Its Web site is http://www.safeminds.org.
