Hey guys,

I will be traveling in Thailand for a month, so I need to get a Hepatitis A shot before I go...and my assumption is that it will contain thimerosal (mercury) in it. I'm not happy about this, but my doctor said that they will all have it, plus I do not have the time to research and try to find a doctor whose shots are thimerosal-free (I've got a deadline).

So I will find out when I go if it contains thimerosal or not, but either way, I kind of feel like I have to get it. If it does contain it, do you guys have any suggestions for how to minimize the damage it does to me? I'm pretty nervous about this. I'm pretty sure I am mercury toxic, and know I have lead toxicity, so the thought of thimerosal scares me to no end. I also have my wedding coming up in about 10 days, and I just don't want to get sick from this shot.

I assume Algin would be helpful, and I still have that on hand. I will also eat this cilantro pesto that I make. Any other recommendations?

Thanks a lot!!
