Autism

Mercury is a well known neurotoxin that comes in various forms. Scientists have learned that all forms of mercury have the potential for toxicity. Mercury intoxication has been increasingly linked to neurological disorders, including autism.

Though the body may rid itself of small amounts of mercury through natural processes, larger amounts received in mercury containing pharmaceuticals or through environmental exposures may result in long-term mercury toxicity.

There are parents who believe that autism is caused by vaccinations containing a mercury compound which 'stabilises' that vaccine.

Exposure to mercury can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions similar to traits associated with autism.

Thimerosal, a preservative added to many vaccines, has become a major source of mercury that exceeds safety guidelines. But, that’s not the only questionable ingredient used in vaccines (1)
