Frequently Asked Questions about Thimerosal and VaccinesNo. There is no evidence of harm caused by the minute doses of thimerosal in vaccines, except for minor effects like swelling and redness at the injection site due to sensitivity to thimerosal. Most importantly, since 1999, newly formulated thimerosal preservative-free vaccines have been licensed. With the newly formulated vaccines, the maximum cumulative exposure during the first six months of life will now be less than three micrograms of mercury.
Related QuestionsWhat levels of nitrite are toxic?

Related QuestionsWhat levels of nitrate are toxic?
Bio-Elite FAQ Nitrogen and FishNitrate levels should be kept below 25mg/L although levels of up to 100mg/L have shown to be non-toxic to fish. This is due to the fact that fish acclimatise to high levels of nitrate, if the change is sudden, the fish suffer from nitrate shock. Toxicity of nitrate is also determined by the availability of oxygen, if there is inadequate oxygenation, fish are more sensitive to nitrate than when the oxygen level is adequate.

Related QuestionsQ. Is the mercury or metals or other ingredients in fillings toxic?
Dr. Steven Green - Holistic Family DentistryA. Two antibacterial neurotoxins are regularly used in dentistry to repair decay, mercury and fluoride. Industry regulators and leaders focus on the small impact of their individual poisonous effluent. Mercury, and other metals of industry, lead, cadmium, aluminum, and arsenic add up synergistically, compete with and clog up the function of the essential minerals. The first clue is irritability; the universal signal of toxicity, leading to anger and mood swings and destroyed relationships.

In Harm's Way Training Materials FAQsAlthough testing for mercury can be done, preventing exposures to mercury is the most important health measure you can take. As a society we need to be working to reduce emissions of mercury from coal-burning power plants, incinerators and other sources in order to prevent exposures. Chelation is a process in which a specific drug that binds to a specific toxicant is given to a patient in order to facilitate the excretion of that toxicant from the body.

Calcitriol - Frequestly Ased QuestionsA PTH-mediated interference with the response of pancreatic insulin-secreting islet cells to a dietary intake of glucose explains much of the known carbohydrate intolerance of uremic patients. Without adequate insulin to facilitate lowering of blood glucose in uremia, one mechanism of the inappetence common in uremia may relate to high blood glucose caused initially by excess PTH.
Related QuestionsOK, I'm convinced my child is mercury toxic. What do I do now?
Autism and the Mercury/Heavy Metal Poisoning ConnectionIf your child has dental amalgams, you will need to find a mercury-free dentist who can replace the silver amalgam fillings with some other material. Next, you should try to find a doctor who can help with chelation. Keep in mind that most regular allopathic doctors are not familiar with mercury toxicity. You don't have to go to a regular MD.
Related QuestionsCan mercury from amalgam fillings or other toxic metals interfere with thyroid function?
Thyroid Health - FAQYes. Mercury, cadmium, lead, aluminium, nickel, and other common heavy metals can all cause thyroid damage. If you suspect toxic metal interference, the best course of action is to detoxify first with chlorella and cilantro extract. I would also suggest you complete an intestinal detox program. If you have more than a few mercury amalgam dental fillings you may wish to consider having them removed by someone that is adequately trained in such procedures.

Related QuestionsWhat is mercury?
Mercury Q & AMercury is a naturally occurring metal, which is widespread and persistent in the environment. It exists in three forms: elemental or metallic mercury, inorganic mercury, and organic mercury. Most of the mercury in the atmosphere is elemental mercury vapor; most of the mercury in water, soil, plants, and animals is inorganic and organic mercury (primarily methylmercury).
Related QuestionsATSDR - ToxFAQs™: MercuryMercury is a naturally occurring metal which has several forms. The metallic mercury is a shiny, silver-white, odorless liquid. If heated, it is a colorless, odorless gas. Mercury combines with other elements, such as chlorine, sulfur, or oxygen, to form inorganic mercury compounds or "salts," which are usually white powders or crystals. Mercury also combines with carbon to make organic mercury compounds.Related Questions

MyGourmet TunaAll health and safety standards are set and monitored by the FDA, which has established the maximum safety level of methyl mercury allowed in commercial seafood consumption at 1.0 parts per million. This level is found most often in large predator fish. By using skipjack and yellowfin tuna in its recipes, MyGourmet Tuna is able to keep the mercury level from 0.01 parts per million (ppm) to 0.5 ppm ~ far less than the health and safety standards set by the FDA.

Welcome to Quality SeafoodWhile it's true that some species of fish can contain an organic form of mercury called methylmercury, it's generally not enough to be a hazard to most consumers. For safety's sake, in 2004 the FDA and EPA did advise pregnant and nursing women, women who might become pregnant, and young children to eat no more than 12 ounces a week (the equivalent of 2 average meals) of shrimp, salmon, pollock, catfish and canned light tuna, and to avoid shark, swordfish, tilefish and king mackerel entirely.
Related QuestionsWhat are the mercury levels in Gold Seal? canned salmon and tuna?
Gold Seal - FAQWild Pacific salmon have very low levels of heavy metals, including mercury. This is due to the short life cycle of salmon (2-4 years), which is insufficient to bio-accumulate these substances, and the fact that wild salmon spend the majority of their lives in the open mid-Pacific Ocean, far from potential coastal pollution. Mercury levels in wild Pacific salmon are typically less than 0.05 ppm, which is ten times lower than the 0.50 ppm (parts per million) Canadian limit for mercury.

Related QuestionsI hear a lot about hair mercury levels and excretion. How does mercury get into hair?
A Photon In The Darkness & Critical thinkingI’m glad you asked. Hair is made up primarily of a protein called keratin. This protein includes a large amount of the sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine. Many of these cysteines are involved in disulfide bonds, which bind the individual keratin strands together and give hair its strength. These disulfide bonds are very “attractive” to mercury. Mercury has a great affinity for sulfur and binds to it avidly.
