I just got Andy Cutler's book on amalgam illness. I wondered how I could have gotten so much mercury in me with only one amalgam filling. Mr. Cutler notes that recipients of a prolonged series of allergy shots can receive a lot of mercury from the thimerosal in the extract. I took allergy shots for 10-15 years or more starting at the age of five or six. If thimerosal was in the allergy extract that I was taking then that's probably where I got most of the mercury in my body.

I had suspected that earlier when I read that vaccines contain thimerosal but I didn't find out that allergy extract has thimerosal in it until now.
