    Autism and Vaccines

    Do Vaccines Cause Autism?

    What is Autism?

    Autism is a case that is known to develop in some children where their fundamental neurological functions become retarded. This leads to slower thinking processes, lack of proper motor coordination, and poor or even altered sensory input to the brain. In some cases, the growth rate of the nerve and brain cells are simply slowed down in childhood, and over time the condition corrects itself as the child matures. However, in the bulk cases the undermine is permanent and the child goes via life with the effects of autism.

    Why the Link between Autism and Vaccines?

    Recently, it was discovered that various widely used vaccines for children actually contained trace elements of mercury. Mercury is widely known as a neural toxin, which pretty much destroys nerve cells when in it's pure form. This led some people to theorize that the trace elements of mercury found in average children's vaccines was actually a contributing factor to autism. However, what the bulk of these people don't realize is that mercury has two naturally occurring organic versions, known as methyl and ethyl mercury. These forms of mercury, while still toxic at high dosages, are readily flushed by the body's immune system when consumed.

    Known Effects of Organic Mercury

    Even organic mercury, especially methyl mercury, can act as a neurotoxin. However, pure elemental mercury is much more dangerous and it's actually this which lies at the heart of all the mercury scares - often related with industrially used compounds. Elemental mercury can paralyze a person for life or even kill. Organic mercury, in its purest form, actually exists in the bodies of some animals, including fish. People take in small amounts of methyl and ethyl mercury daily with no damaging effects. However, large amounts of concentrated organic mercury can likewise act as a natural neurotoxin, though not ample to kill someone. In the long term, exposure to concentrated organic mercury can lead to the stunted growth of nerve and brain cells. The small amounts of mercury in vaccines, however, is comparable to that contained in fish, so people won't actually have any undermine from it.

    Case Studies Regarding Vaccines with Mercury

    In answer to the scare caused by the presence of mercury in vaccines, various controlled clinical studies were conducted throughout the world. In the bulk cases, batches of children were given the vaccines, while other batches were not. Observing them for months afterwards, no differences were noted between the dissimilar groups. A closer study of some of the infants showed that their bodies actually flushed the mercury out of their systems completely within two weeks of it's being administered. No injurious effects were noticed to linger in the children as a result of their exposure to the traces of organic mercury. Another study used cultured nerve cells laid bare directly to pure organic mercury. The nerve cells did NOT die, compared to exposure to other similar toxic materials like lead, copper, and pure elemental mercury. Their growth rate was slowed considerably, however. This test led to the conclusion that organic mercury is NOT as deadly as pure elemental mercury, though exposure to LARGE amounts of it will still cause negative effects to the nervous system.

    A Historical Report Regarding Vaccines with Mercury

    One study actually seems to not only knock down the myth that vaccines with mercury cause autism, but actually gives credence to an exact opposite theory. Norway ceased to use certain vaccines, specifically the ones that contained mercury, around the mid 1990s. At exactly the same time, the United States saw an influx of these same types of vaccines. By observing vaccinated children and comparing these records to known autism cases in both countries it was featured that the number of autism cases in Norway actually increased by over ten periods when the vaccines were stopped, while the number of autism cases in the United States actually dropped by 75%. While this seems to suggest that the vaccines that contain mercury actually aid to curb autism, there is no solid proof to back this up.

    So What's The Conclusion?

    Everything points towards the conclusion that vaccines containing mercury do NOT cause autism. For one thing, the trace amounts of mercury aren't ample to cause any amount of nerve undermine or even to retard cell growth. For another, the TYPE of mercury contained in the vaccines springs up naturally in certain fish that people consume on a everyday basis in some parts of the world, to no damaging effect. Lastly, infants who took the vaccines suffered no sick effects, and actually flushed the substance out of their systems in a short time. The facts speak for themselves.
