Friends,

My son Luke had a severe reaction to his childhood vaccines and was later diagnosed with autism. Through much research, I learned that his vaccines contained toxic levels of a preservative containing mercury. We had him tested and found that he has mercury poisoning. He is now on his way to recovery thanks to treatments to remove mercury from his body. I've become interested in what other negative effects may be caused by mercury in vaccines, and have found that it puts people at greater risk of Alzheimer's Disease and Heart Disease in addition to autism. So don't take flu vaccines with 'thimerosal' mercury! Please read the information below and pass it on to everyone that you love and care about. - Scott

Top Ten Reasons to Avoid Getting a Mercury-based Flu Vaccine this winter:

1. Avoid injecting mercury into your body. Everyone knows how dangerous mercury can be to your health but very few know that it is a common ingredient used in flu vaccines. A majority of flu vaccines this winter contain a preservative called "thimerosal" that contains mercury, the third most toxic substance on earth

2. Protect yourself from heart disease. Ohio State University researchers published in May 2007 that Thimerosal activates an enzyme that causes plaque build-up in the arteries which has been linked to heart disease and heart attacks.

3. Reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease. A scientific paper to be published later this year will describe tests showing that mercury in the laboratory causes the same brain abnormalities found in Alzheimer's disease.

4. Play the odds. An American has less than a 1 in 150,000 of dying from the flu. An American is far more likely to develop heart disease, Alzheimer's, or autism, all of which have been linked to mercury toxicity.

5. Stay healthy this winter. The mercury in flu shots can impair your immune system, making you more vulnerable to infections. Good hand washing and avoiding those who have the flu are the safest ways to stay healthy this winter

6. Prevent your body from becoming a hazardous waste storage site. According to EPA guidelines the flu vaccines contain 250 times the amount of mercury that is defined as hazardous waste. And unused flu vaccine at the end of the flu season must be shipped back to the manufacturer to be disposed of as a hazardous waste.

7. Take control of your own health while the government agencies debate. The Surgeon General's office recommended removal of Thimerosal from childhood vaccines in 1999. The CDC has not yet followed the Surgeon General recommendation regarding flu vaccines. The NIH reported to Congress in 2006 that there were serious flaws with the statistical evidence used by the CDC to support their position.

8. Avoid an unproven and possibly unsafe health treatment. The British Medical Journal reported last October that the evidence from a comprehensive review of flu vaccine studies shows that the flu vaccine has little or no benefit, and also that little comparative evidence exists on the safety of these vaccines

9. Prevent toxic overload. Thimerosal is a particularly toxic form of mercury because it blocks the process used by the body to get rid of mercury and also other toxins. One dose of Thimerosal could push a person past a "toxic tipping point".

10. Don't be one of the last Americans to take a mercury-based flu vaccine. Seven states have banned Thimerosal from most vaccines, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed an amendment in July that prevents taxpayer money from being used in 2008 to administer mercury-based flu shots to young children. It is only a matter of time before Thimerosal is banned from all vaccines.
