Daca ai avut deci timp sa parcurgi si articolul din hyperlink, imposibil sa nu-ti fi pus intrebari, cum mi-am pus si eu…

1) La toxicologie nu am studiat compusi organici ai mercurului (borat, azotat, acetat de fenil mercur, timoersal), doar mercurul anorganic. Deci nu cunosc exact mecanismele toxice ale lor.
2) E o diferenta majora intre ce am spus eu (compusi de mercur utilizati local) si ce ai spus tu (compusi de mercur introdusi direct in circuitul de sange).

Totusi, nici sa nu facem o panica extrema din asta.

PS: Desi sunt ceva mai tanar decat tine, chiar in 2000 mi-a bagat unul niste amalgam in gura. Totusi, la jumatatea deceniului trecut m-am dus la un stomatolog bun si mi-a inlocuit toate plombele astea cu unele “profesioniste” pe baza de betoane noi.

Nu stiam ca am si cititori mai cunoscatori decat mine, de-aceea m-am referit pe scurt la mercur, cand de fapt tocmai despre thimerosal-ul din vaccinul H1N1 era vorba. Citeste neaparat articolul asta (el m-a facut sa scriu textul, din el m-am inspirat covarsitor – mi-l trimisese sotia prin email ca pdf dar l-am gasit acum si pe net). Vezi ce scrie in pagina a treia:

Controversy has raged for years about whether or not thimerosal is behind soaring childhood autism rates. While that debate continues, a 2008 study in the U.K. journal Toxicological and Environmental Chemistry found that boys who were given a vaccine containing thimerosal were nine times more likely to have developmental problems than unvaccinated boys.

The Public Health Agency of Canada says on its Web site that thimerosal is safe and that the amount in the H1N1 vaccine is below Health Canada’s daily safety limit set for mercury. “There’s significantly less mercury in the vaccine than you would find in a can of tuna fish,” the site states.

In fact, the amount of mercury in the nonadjuvanted H1N1 vaccine does actually exceed the daily safety level for pregnant women. Health Canada has established the safe dietary level of mercury for pregnant women at 0.2 micrograms (millionths of a gram) per kilo of body weight. The nonadjuvanted H1N1 vaccine contains 25 micrograms of mercury.

Simple math tells us an average Canadian pregnant woman—weighing 80 kilograms at term—gets about 56 percent more than the daily safe level of mercury when given a dose of the nonadjuvanted vaccine. By the EPA’s stricter standards, that same dose is actually triple its daily safe level.

What’s more, Shaw notes, those daily safety levels were set for consumption of mercury in food, not for injection directly into the body. Injecting a neurotoxin like mercury has much more impact than eating it, he said.

Problema e ca toti considera ca mercurul din produsele lor e acceptabil (vezi referirea la conservele de ton), insa se-aduna. Asta vara m-am dus la dentist si s-a ingrozit saraca la cate plombe cu amalgam am, mai ales ca doctorita avea cabinet de mercury-free dentistry. Nu stiu ce varsta ai, dar eu am copilarit pe vremea lui Ceasca si inca am gura plina de …mercur. Se stie azi ca-i foarte toxic pe termen lung, exista tratament delicat sa ti-l scoti din corp. Deci dashteptii astia, cand iti fac vaccinul lor cu doza “acceptabila” de mercur, te mai intreaba din ce tara vii si verifica ce cantitate ai deja in tine? Nu.
