This is a copy of a response I made to Doctors on another forum who cannot see the forest.
As I posted this general question to this forum, I received exactly the response I expected: A link to one of the few sources of establishment information that states that mercury is wonderful.
After studying this subject for years, I have unveiled special interests; special interests in government, and special interests in certain medical industries that have a very strong tie to each other. It's called money.
The subject of studying these ties is not for the faint-hearted or cowardly. It demands that you use your brain and make logical deductions, and fortunately, more and more people are.
Usually, these are people for whom the medical "system" has failed, and this, in turn, has given them the motivation they needed. These are people, for example, who went from doctor to doctor for years, were diagnosed with one "disease" after another, and were prescribed an endless train of drugs, only to learn, after ** putting in a little time of their own **, that mercury was the cause. They have their amalgam fillings removed and suddenly get better. The frequency of this story is ramping.
So what did these courageous souls do? They put in the time, and had the courage to think "outside the box", that is, outside the tidy frame that the FDA, NIH, CDC, WHO, and the other establishment organizations—that are little more than revolving doors for the pharmaceutical industry—want them to remain within.
The messy part of this type of research is that it requires you to muddle through research and determine which is flawed and which is good. After putting my time in, I've discovered that most is good, but I've also noticed the crystal-clear pattern that the research promoted by "the establishment" is geared toward a single end, and of course, that is money.
The bottom line here is that we're living in a time when there is so much corruption in the highest places that there is offered to you, the lowly working class, a smorgasboard of belief systems that you get to choose from. Of course, only one is accurate (and that one isn't offered, you have to find it for yourself), but the providers of the buffet could not care less. As long a you choose one of the many flavors they offer you, you are their unwitting ally.
You, having likely been educated within the purview of their menu, have dutifully choosen your acquired taste.
Nevertheless, when it comes to chemistry, if you want to work in an effective way in eliminating diseases, you must remove the root cause. The pharmaceutical industry, having brilliantly concluded that a non-sick person is no longer a customer, invented chemicals that, for the most part, suppress symptoms while allowing the cause of disease to remain. A brilliant business plan. A horrible health plan.
Having made your choices, this post is not for you. It is for those who wish to recover from their ailments without having to wait for the next 10 to 20 years for mainstream medicine to "catch up", or rather, be placed under so much pressure by people pursuing the truth that they have to concede to keep themselves from loosing all appearance of integrity.
For those with this kind of passion, the links I placed in earlier posts are for you.
When you do your research, you will notice it has been well documented that after amalgams are placed, there are huge accumulations of mercury in the various—usually sulphur-rich—portions of the body, including the brain. You will also find that mercury dramatically interferes with so many chemical processes that it results in a myriad of various diseases, depending on various genetic and habitual factors, and you will discover that this accumulation takes time.
This * time * factor is the reason that the truth about mercury has been successfully concealed from the mainstream for so long. Nevertheless, it is now becoming well-known and people are realizing what fraud has been committed in witholding these long-known scientific truths from common sources of public health information; And this, not for the common good, but for the benefit of the pharmaceutical industry (money).
All this is the reason you have such * easy access * to bad scientific information and flawed studies. Of course, * easy * is not what makes really sick people well. It takes research, and I hope and I write this post for the sake of those growing numbers of people who realize that this passion to become well requires you to put in your time doing your own research and not taking anything at face value, as so many medical professionals do.
I've always noticed this all-important trend; It's the feisty ones that survive difficult situations and overcome incurable diseases. This attribute is the very one that causes people to do that very thing that leads to recovery, namely, * putting in the time *, and not accepting the wide variety of "diagnosis", at face value.
I don't believe in doing people's research for them because I have learned this pivotal attribute of human nature:
It does not matter if you put the truth in front of someone with all the necessary evidence to back it up. Some will accept it, others will reject it, and yet others will research it.
Herein lies the great line of division between us: Passion.
Those with it, find solutions, find cause; they find truth. Those without it follow, and with such a variety of self-interested parties providing misinformation for their own purposes, those that follow who are humble enough to admit they are wrong, eventually learn the great harm that comes from apathy.
All this is to say...
Believe what you want, but from my perspective, having put in my time researching these things, the position you have hastily chosen is as silly as saying "widespread corruption has never existed in governments throughout history".
Following are links and quotes for the feisty.

The Bolen Report
http://bolenreport.net/---
In his book Racketeering in Medicine, James P. Carter M.D. makes the following charges: "the NCAHF...receives funds from pharmaceutical manufacturers," and the NCAHF does not represent the consumer but rather "the interests of a select group of health-care providers - physicians in the private practice of medicine - and they represent the interest of pharmaceutical companies."
I highly recommend this book:
Racketeering in Medicine, James P. Carter M.D.
This is an outstanding book that continuously provides names, dates and places. It's compelling and hard to put down.

It's amazing that you quote from the NCAHF. Have you not learned that:
"The NCAHF is a front organization used by Barrett, Baratz and their other associates whose purpose is to solicit jobs so that they can act as expert witnesses against doctors who practice alternative and complementary treatment methods ... Quackwatch, and National Council against Health Fraud although independently incorporated, are one of the same, in that they have common directors, administrators, members, contributors and beliefs and collaborate together to the benefit of Barrett, Baratz and their other associates."

"Among his many allegations, are included that Barrett is paid in part by pharmaceutical companies and private industrial interest groups in the health care industry to discredit alternative health care for competitive reasons. Barrett was forced to concede his ties to the AMA, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Food & Drug Administration (FDA) during cross-examination of a 2005 lawsuit. During the same trial, Barrett admitted that he was not a Medical Board Certified psychiatrist because he had failed the certification exam and that though he had claimed to be a “legal expert” in the past, Barrett had no formal legal training."

"Conclusion - Appellant (NCAHF) believes that no one should be allowed to market homeopathic remedies. Congress has decided otherwise, and officially recognizes the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia. Appellant's broad-brush approach of sweeping all homeopathic remedies into a single bag marked "undesirable" simply does not work in the courts, where each claimed instance of unfair advertising and unfair business practice must be closely scrutinized. Appellant failed to present any admissible evidence in this case that respondents are guilty of false advertising and unfair business practices with respect to any of their products."

Frist's ties to Eli Lilly & Co:
"Frist's bill would protect Eli Lilly and other vaccine makers from lawsuits, including the growing controversy of thimerosal. When writing the bill, Frist consulted with Eli Lilly, as well as other interested parties. In 2002, Eli Lilly and the company's employees contributed $226,250 to the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee that Frist has led. When Frist wrote a book on bioterrorism that was published following the September 11, 2001 attacks, Eli Lilly bought 5,000 copies of it and distributed the book to doctors around the U.S."

First Official Recognition of Thimerosal Dangers Made - May 2003
"After an extensive three-year investigation initiated by the Committee on Government Reform, a report was released concluding that, “there’s no question that mercury does not belong in vaccines.” For the first time, U.S. officials have undoubtedly recognized that thimerosal poses a very serious risk to those subjected to its’ neurotoxicity."

The CDC (Special Interest?)
“To date, studies conducted or funded by the CD that purportedly dispute any correlation between autism and vaccines injury have been of poor design, under-powered, and fatally flawed. The CDC’s rush to support and promote such research is reflective of a philosophical conflict in looking fairly at emerging theories and clinical data related to adverse reactions from vaccinations.”

Your Information About Thimerosal Removal is Dead Wrong
"The link between thimerosal and autism and other learning disabilities has continued to be argued for decades. Thimerosal is 49.6% ethylmercury and was widely used since the 1940s in over the counter drugs. After being banned in 1998 from over the counter drugs, thimerosal is still found in some vaccines. Mercury is the second most toxic substance known to man behind uranium."
"While many doctors continue to claim thimerosal has been removed from vaccines given to children, a closer look would show otherwise. If following today’s government recommendations, a child has received more than 30 vaccinations, a dramatic increase from just over a decade ago. Vaccine makers were never ordered to remove thimerosal, rather encouraged."

For Quackbuster's NCAHF - It's All Over But The Shouting...
"In the context of a lawsuit against homeopathic manufacturers of homeopathic remedies, 'there is nothing in the nature of a false advertising action that makes it difficult for a plaintiff to prove allegations of the complaint. The homeopathic remedies are marketed and readily available for testing by the plaintiff. The falsity of the advertising claims may be established by testing, scientific literature, or anecdotal evidence.' (NCAHF v King Bio). Appellant provided no admissible, prima facie evidence that the respondents' advertising is, in fact, false....In addition, appellant presented no evidence at all that respondents' advertising is likely to deceive consumers."

Deadly Immunity
"When a study revealed that mercury in childhood vaccines may have caused autism in thousands of kids, the government rushed to conceal the data -- and to prevent parents from suing drug companies for their role in the epidemic."

"This study provides strong epidemiological evidence for a link between increasing mercury from thimerosal containing childhood vaccines and neurodevelopment disorders and heart disease. In light of voluminous literature supporting the biologic mechanisms for
mercury-induced adverse reactions, the presence of amounts of mercury in thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines exceeding Federal Safety Guidelines for the oral ingestion of mercury, and previous epidemiological studies showing adverse reactions from such vaccines, a causal relationship between thimerosalcontaining childhood vaccines and neurodevelopment disorders and heart disease appears to be confirmed."

This statement you quote from the CDC website is technically legal, but essentially a lie. They simply "don't know about" specific reports of harmful effects because * they decided * not to associate the numerous reports of vaccine harm with thimerosal. It's called politics, by the way.
"At a glance: Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative used in some vaccines and other products since the 1930's. No harmful effects have been reported from thimerosal at doses used in vaccines, except for minor reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site."
—CDC
For example...
"That's what happened with several people working for the FDA...If they passed Aspartame, literally, they were promised great jobs when they finished with FDA."
Arthur Evangelista,
Former FDA Investigator
It's the revolving door I was speaking about.
Don't parrot the establishment.
Put some time in and do some real research.
