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.

hmmm I wonder how accurate that info is about allergy shots having mercury.

I also recieved many allergy shots when I was young.

Also in my quest to get better it was recommended that I get allergy shots again (to cure my breathing condition). Uselss waste of time/money. This was before the internet so the proliferation of natural remedies wasnt around as much ie 12+ years ago.

I would be interested if anyone knows anything else about allergy shots having mercury in them.

I can't answer the question about allergy shots specifically, but I can tell you that several vaccines that don't have Thimerosal still have mercuy left in them from processing, in which mercury is sometimes used and remains in the mix.

My dentist said that something else used in medicine contains mercury, or at least trace amounts, but I can't remember the name. Something starting with P I think.

The information at this website (http://www.orlandoskindoc.com/test.thimerosal.htm) states that thimerosal is found in desensitization injections.

I had allergy shots several times/week, gradually lessening to once every three weeks, for three years. And I have read somewhere that allergy shots have thimersol.
