Mounting evidence suggests that thimerosal, a preservative in many children’s vaccines that breaks down to release neurotoxic ethyl mercury, may be responsible for the exponential growth
of autism, attention deficit disorder (ADD), hyperactivity (ADHD), speech and language delays, and other childhood neurological disorders now epidemic in the United States.1 It is undisputed that exposure to mercury in infancy reduces a child’s intelligence, with boys suffering the most
dramatic injury (testosterone tends to amplify mercury’s damage, while estrogen seems to moderate it).2 Some scientists believe that thimerosal in children’s inoculations may even be the cause of the 100-point loss in scholastic aptitude scores among children born in the “Thimerosal
