The Problems and Solutions of Mercury and
Preservatives

• By Valerie Varela

What is Mercury?

• Mercury is a silvery-white poisonous metallic
  element, liquid at room temperature. Also called
  quicksilver.
• Mercury is one of the basic chemical elements. It
  is a heavy, silvery metal. Mercury is also a
  highly toxic material. Its principal applications
  are in the production of chlorine and caustic
  soda
• Caustic soda is strongly alkaline compound, NaOH,
  used in the manufacture of chemicals and soaps
  and in petroleum refining
• So basically mercury is a highly toxic chemical
  used in thermometers barometers, vapor lamps,
  batteries, preservatives, vaccines, caustic soda
  paints, explosives, light bulbs, light switches,
  pharmaceuticals, fungicides, and pesticides
  etc. These are things many of us see on a day
  to day basis
• The most dangerous form of mercury which is also
  the organic form is called methyl mercury..this
  can be found in various fish.
• Do we really want to be around this stuff if its
  so harmful?

What are the Damages Mercury Can Cause?

• Scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health
  found that methyl mercury contamination of
  seafood can cause heart damage and irreversible
  impairment to brain function in children, both in
  the womb and as they grow.
• Infants are exposed to mercury in the womb. New
  data suggest that more than 600,000 infants are
  born each year with blood mercury levels higher
  than 5.8 parts per billion, the EPA level of
  concern.
• Researchers found that electrical signals in the
  brains of children exposed to mercury aren't
  transmitted as quickly as in unexposed children.
  They also found that mercury appears to weaken
  the heartbeat.
• Some studies clearly support the link between
  mercury poisoning and autism,the damage caused by
  this organic mercury poisoning is NOT limited to
  autism but it also effects other
  neurodevelopment disorders

What are the Damages Mercury Can Cause? Pg 2

• Mercury is said to be one of the main reasons for
  autism
• In America autism has gone from 1 in 10,000 in
  1987 to 1 in 166 now. In just 30 years we have
  increased the chances of coming out autistic
  drastically. And it was roughly about 25-30 years
  ago that mercury began to be used in mandatory
  vaccines for infants and small children
  coincidence I think not!
• Mercury stays in the body of a child for 30
  days!!!
• The effects of low-level mercury exposure are
  similar to the effects of lead toxicity in
  children and include delayed development and
  language difficulties, problems with motor
  function, attention and memory. Imagine
  high-level mercury exposure!!!
• Neurotoxins (mercury) cause damage by disrupting
  sodium and calcium levels in the blood and cells,
  attacking enzyme reactions involved in the
  production of glucose in the body.
• Now I ask myself why would an element that is so
  harmful be introduced into medicine that is going
  into our bodies? MONEY as usual because of
  mercury's consistency and ability to preserve
  things it is used in vaccines to make them last
  longer and stay fresh

What are the Damages Mercury Can Cause? Pg 3

• Mercury in the body is particularly dangerous
  because these neurotoxins attach themselves to
  already existing cells and basically distort
  their function
• These neurotoxins tend to bind to structures rich
  in fat, as most of our cells are, especially the
  liver, kidney, and the brain which are ALL
  essential organs
• The toxins are capable of dissolving in fatty
  tissue and moving through it, which in turn
  disrupts the electrical balance of the cell
  altogether
• Once these toxins have access to the liver,
  because they bind with the bile (spleen), the
  body is poisoned over and over because the bile
  is re-circulated thought the body

What are Preservatives?

• A preservative is a natural or synthetic chemical
  that is added to products such as foods,
  pharmaceuticals, paints, biological samples, etc.
  to delay spoilage, whether microbial growth or
  undesirable chemical changes
• There are two different types of preservatives
  anti-microbial which stop the growth of bacteria
  and fungi and antioxidants which stop the food
  from corroding
• Some anti-bacterial preservatives are calcium
  propionate , sodium nitrate, sulfites, sulfur
  dioxide, sodium bisulfate , potassium hydrogen
  sulfite, etc
• Some antioxidants are BHA and BHT
• Some others names of preservatives are
  formaldehyde glutaraldyhyde, diatomaceous,
  ethanol, and dim ethyl bicarbonate
• Preservatives are not only used in food they are
  also used in vaccines, medicines, wines and
  juices.
• Even though preservatives are meant to be good,
  they are more hazardous than helpful.  When a
  natural food source is processed, it is heated,
  broken up, impaired, degraded and eventually
  devoid of any nutritional content.  Additives are
  then put in to regain back the vitamins and
  nutrients lost through this process.  More than
  one billion pounds of chemicals are added to food
  each year.

This is What Our Food Goes Through!!!!

What is an atom?

• A unit of matter, the smallest unit of an
  element, having all the characteristics of that
  element and consisting of a dense, central,
  positively charged nucleus surrounded by a system
  of electrons. The entire structure has an
  approximate diameter of 10-8 centimeter and
  characteristically remains undivided in chemical
  reactions except for limited removal, transfer,
  or exchange of certain electrons.
• In order to understand why it is so difficult
  to remove the element from the atom you must
  first understand the atom

Dont Worry Theres a Solution!!!.....(KINDA)

• One of the main reasons why scientist and doctors
  are finding it so hard to fix the mercury and
  biotoxins epidemic is because these toxins embed
  themselves in different molecules and cells of
  the body.
• They infiltrate them to the point where if you
  give medicine or a shot to eliminate them youll
  kill the entire cell which will lead the person
  to bleed to death
• But scientist and doctors are still looking for
  ways to supplement mercury with something else
  also they are devolving a way to eliminate the
  harmful toxins by injecting counter toxins
  which will restore the bodies normal function but
  this solution is still a long way coming
• So in the mean time scientist should just remove
  mercury from vaccines and medicine!!!!!
• Organic foods do NOT contain ANY of these
  additives.  I can't stress enough the importance
  of organic, natural foods.
• Organic food DOES NOT go through chemical
  processing so therefore it does not contain
  harmful preservatives or toxins
• So before you go to the grocery store you may
  want to reconsider what's on the list..

REMEMBER ORGANIC FOOD FOR A BETTER YOU AND A
BETTER FUTURE!!!!
