Thimerosal : let the science speak : the evidence supporting the immediate removal of mercury - a known neurotoxin - from vaccines

New York Times Bestselling author! Over a decade ago, following a rise in developmental disorders such as autism and ADHD, the mercury-containing preservative Thimerosal was widely believed to have been eliminated from vaccine supplies. However, dangerous quantities of Thimerosal continue to be used, posing a threat to public health In this groundbreaking book, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Dr. Mark Hyman examine the research literature on Thimerosal and make a very clear statement about its potentially dangerous effects. In the past, the CDC, FDA, NIH, and AAP, as well as the US Congress, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the US Department of Agriculture, the European Medicines Agency, and the California Environmental Protection Agency have expressed concerns over the use of Thimerosal in vaccines. But despite the many voices calling for action, the media and policy makers have repeatedly failed to adequately address the issue. Now, with Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak, the goals are to educate parents, doctors, and health policy makers; to eliminate this toxic chemical from the world’s vaccine supplies; to move toward safer alternatives; and to maintain or increase vaccination rates critical to the United States and developing nations. With safer options available, parents shouldn’t have to worry about the devastating effects of vaccinating their children Title Page Copyright Contents Preface Introduction Editor’s Introducton Executive Summary Part One: Thimerosal’s Dangers to Human Health and the Brain Chapter 1: A Brief History of Thimerosal and the Dangers of Mercury Chapter 2: The Increase in Thimerosal-Containing Children’s Vaccines Coincided with a Rise in Neurodevelopmental Disorders Chapter 3: Despite Reductions in Thimerosal in US Childhood Vaccines, Potential Exposure Remains High Chapter 4: The Comparable Dangers of Ethylmercury and Methylmercury Chapter 5: A Wide Range of Animal Studies Show Thimerosal’s Toxicity Chapter 6: Mounting Evidence of Thimerosal’s Danger in Human Studies Chapter 7: Findings of Epidemiological Studies: Links between Thimerosal and Neurological Damage Chapter 8: Scientific Calls for a Ban on Thimerosal Chapter 9: Official Reports against Thimerosal by Public Health and Other Agencies Part Two: The Unnecessary Use of Thimerosal Chapter 10: The Ineffectiveness of Thimerosal as a Germicide Chapter 11: Amplification of Thimerosal Toxicity by Aluminum in Vaccines Chapter 12: Safer and Cost-Effective Alternatives to Thimerosal Part Three: Review of the Problematic Epidemiological Studies Relied on by the Institute of Medicine Chapter 13: The Verstraeten Study: Links between Thimerosal and Neurological Damage Chapter 14: The CDC’s and the Institute of Medicine’s Response to Verstraeten’s Findings Chapter 15: The CDC’s and Institute of Medicine’s Reliance on Flawed European Studies Chapter 16: The Final, Published Verstraeten Study Chapter 17: The Institute of Medicine 2004 Report and Response Conclusions and Recommendations From New York Times Bestselling Author Robert F.
