Preservatives in Vaccines

Since the 1930s, vaccines have contained preservatives designed to eliminate bacteria and fungi that can form in the vaccine. These bacteria and fungi, when injected into the blood, can cause serious problems and are a cause for concern. There have been deaths in the past associated with contaminated vaccines. Thimerosal was one of the first preservatives used in vaccinations. This preservative contains about 50% mercury by weight, and is one of the most popular preservatives to use in vaccinations. While some studies have shown that the micrograms of mercury contained in thimerosal aren’t harmful to humans or animals, others have indicated that this substance is at fault for serious health conditions. Mercury is a volatile and toxic substance that can cause significant damage to the nervous system with high doses. The mercury contained in thimerosal has been linked to conditions of the nervous system like autism.

While thimerosal has been removed from child vaccinations, it is still prevalent in other vaccinations and used in other countries outside of the United States. It’s important to be aware of the dangers of thimerosal and to check the preservatives in both childhood and adult vaccinations.

Precautions for Detoxification

When detoxifying our bodies with products like probiotics or PCA-Rx, it’s important to first address those issues that could flare up due to the detoxification. When we detoxify our bodies, we remove toxins that have been embedded for a significant amount of time, and these toxins that have been dormant can flare up and become a problem. Candida, for example, which is a genus of yeasts, is known to flare up following detoxification. It’s important to perform a Candida cleanse prior to a full detoxification. This will ensure that the Candida is removed and won’t pose a threat to the person once detoxification is complete. Candida is also a dangerous toxins, and an overgrowth of Candida can lead to serious health problems including fatigue and weight gain. Through removing Candida from our bodies, we are not just safer for detoxification, but also healthier because we have removed a dangerous toxin from our bodies.

It’s a good idea for all people to perform a Candida cleanse on a regular basis to prevent a Candida overgrowth from occurring. The Candida cleanse is also a common treatment used in tandem with other detoxification treatments to treat autism. 

Recognizing Mercury Poisoning

Recognizing Mercury Poisoning

When we think of mercury poisoning, most people imagine someone coming into physical contact with the substance known as elemental mercury.  This can cause swelling, redness, and certain internal conditions.  However, much more dangerous than coming into physical contact with elemental mercury is exposure to organic mercury over a lifetime.  Organic mercury is most prominent in fish, including swordfish, shark, king mackerel, and white tuna.  Mercury becomes absorbed into these fish as they consume smaller fish, and the concentrations of mercury then become even greater.  It’s recommended that pregnant women and women who are nursing avoid eating the above listed fish, and limit their intake of all other fish and shellfish to about 12 oz. per week.  Eating fish can cause children to develop serious health conditions, and mercury poisoning symptoms at birth often relate to limited or poor nervous system and neural development.

There are also vaccine preservatives that contain mercury, like thimerosal, which have been linked to mercury poisoning and autism in children.  It’s important for all mothers to be aware of the dangers of mercury poisoning before having a child.

Be Cautions with Infants!

When a child is an infant, it’s often a fun but sometimes stressful time for parents.  Parents love to witness their child discover new things, mirrors, rattles, and of course, how to make loud noises and draw their parent’s attention.  But it’s also important to be a little cautious with infants, as it is this stage of life that is crucial to future development.  Infants require constant attention and constant care from their parents, including proper nutrition, social interaction, and immunizations.  It’s also important for parents to be aware of the dangers that certain accepted practices can pose to their children.  For example, certain childhood vaccines might cause birth defects mercury poisoning due to preservatives in the vaccines that contain mercury.  It’s best to check with doctors and physicians beforehand about what is being injected into an infant, and to recognize the dangers associated with all substances that come into contact with the infant’s body. 

It’s possible to remove toxins from the body with treatment like chelation therapy, probiotics, and PCA-Rx.  These treatments target heavy metals, like mercury, and purge them from the body.

The Truth About Chelation Therapy

Chelation is the process of cleansing the body of toxins through the use of chelating agents, and chelation provides several benefits.  Treatment with chelating agents is often called chelation therapy, and the treatment provides several benefits in addition to cleansing the body.  Chelation is often used to cleanse heavy metal toxins like mercury which can cause several serious conditions and has been attributed to serious health conditions like autism.  In addition to this, chelation therapy can also be used to reduce blood clotting, remove calcium and plaque, treat cancer, and normalize abnormal cholesterol and HDL levels.  In addition to these benefits, many patients find that following chelation therapy they feel more alert, have improved concentration, and better memory. 

Chelation is safe for people of all ages, and can improve the overall functioning of several systems within the body.  People build up toxins over the course of their lives, and removing these toxins can provide a clean slate for the future.

Sloan Prize, which is awarded to films that feature science and technology as a theme.

In a way, the film will encourage autism awareness, as Hollywood luminaries like Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy continue to be activists in the real world, “Adam” may look into the humanist side of things.

Government Pays for Vaccine Damage

Government Pays for Vaccine Damage

While it’s not a well known fact, the government in several countries around the world has paid parents for damage caused to their children by vaccines.  Parents like to think of vaccines as a necessity for their child’s safety, but in truth, some vaccines can cause damage.  The vaccine damage differs from child to child; some damage is neurological, while it can also affect physical characteristics.  Most vaccine damage is caused by the preservatives used in the vaccine to keep it from spoiling.  One such preservative, thimerosal, has been linked to serious disorders like autism.  The easiest way to prevent vaccine damage is to limit the amount of vaccinations the child receives, and also to be wary of excess vaccinations.

Children who have toxins in their blood due to vaccinations can remove them with products like PCA-Rx or through chelation therapy.  It might not be possible to prevent damage all together, but being aware of the dangers of vaccines is just as important as recognizing how to prevent and reverse vaccine damage.

PCA-RXIt’s important for people to take care of their bodies, and we can all recognize when we’re not feeling well.  But for people who are often sick, or find themselves feeling tired, stressed out, or fatigued throughout the day, the problem might be a little more complicated.  Throughout our lives, we build up toxins in our bodies such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, and these toxins can cause damage to our bodies.  The solution is PCA-Rx, a concoction of living beneficial bacteria that cleanse the toxins through natural means.  With the helpful bacteria in PCA-Rx formulas, we can remove the toxins which become trapped in our bodies.

It’s near impossible for people to not acquire toxins throughout their lifetime.  These toxins enter our bodies through regular activities like breathing, eating, receiving vaccinations, and taking prescription drugs.  It’s important to remove these toxins from our bodies with PCA-Rx bacteria to lead a healthier life.  PCA-Rx has even been used in the treatment of conditions like autism, which can be caused by exposure to environmental toxins.

Ridding Our Bodies of Harmful Toxins

Ridding Our Bodies of Harmful Toxins

The most natural method to detoxify our bodies is through physical activity.  When we sweat, we can help draw harmful toxins out of the body, which then surface in our perspiration.  For a thorough detox, exercise for about 30-60 minutes, and then sit in a sauna for another 30 minutes, followed by a cool shower.  The shower is crucial because it washes away the toxins that are expelled through perspiration.  Exercise followed by a bit of time in the sauna on a regular basis can help the body feel cleaner and expel much of the harmful toxins.  In addition to this method, some toxins can contaminate the body in large amounts over time.  These toxins, which include mercury, arsenic, and cadmium, are harmful to the body and can cause permanent damage.  Every once in a while, it is necessary to perform a heavy metal detox, which involves a chelation agent taken through ingestion.

Regular exercise combined with the occasional chelation therapy keeps dangerous toxins out of our bodies, and helps us to feel cleaner and increase our overall wellness.
