My 8 month old nephew died last week.

The doctors could never find anything other than his mother's mercury exposure (1970 to 1985?) to explain his "global" birth defects. They wouldn't deny it as a factor, but there are really no other explanations as far as I am concerned. And my sister was researching mercury after private conferences and I don't believe it was a coincidence, she had always poo-pooed the thought until recently. They told my sister and all the females in our family to not have more children. They looked for some gene that would explain his problems, thought there was some family recessive gene, but could find nothing.

The poor little soul seemed alright at first, except for 2 holes in his heart that were repairable. Then it became one thing after another. Problems with his kidneys, hydronephrosis. An abscess on his brain, "back wards" vocal cords?, hydrocephalus, possible blindness and deafness, never would walk, intestines dying, brain shrinking, the list goes on and on.

He never smiled or giggled and never would have. I only pray that the deterioration of his brain kept him from suffering too much.

Mercury hits the heart, kidneys and central nervous system the worst and his problems were mainly focused in those areas.

This little guy fought to the end,and when his parents finally decided to let him go, he left within a half hour, peacefully in his mother's arms.

The reason I am posting this is to help others understand the complexity of the damage that mercury is capable of causing in the body. Most will never have the exposure suffered by my family, but mercury is so deeply embedded into our environment now, ( and under bushler's policies, it's getting worse) that we really need to push to stop the complete and total devastation it will cause in future generations.

Pa. alone spews 9700 lbs. of this horror into the environment each year and it only takes a drop to render fish in a 10 acre lake inedible. Think about that, how many drops are in a pound, let alone 9700? More and more research is showing a link between autism and mercury, yet they are injecting this poison into babies right after birth in hepatitis vaccinations. What chance will these children have at healthy lives after such poisoning at birth? What will show up years down the road to destroy their lives or at the least cause health problems that interfere in their lives unnecessarily?

Many call me a fanatic where mercury is concerned, and I am. It devastated my entire life before anyone even guessed at what was causing some very serious health problems. I don't want others to suffer as I have, many do and never learn the basis for their suffering, ever.

The government denies the correlation between mercury and health problems, their paid researchers protect these corporate criminals, but much of the world is learning the truth and banning it in all possible aspects. Research that is paid for by the polluters and their government protectors/accomplices can not be taken seriously, it is only "researched" to keep costs down and profits up.

If you doubt that mercury devastates the brain as much as I'm saying watch this video from the University of Calgary. It shows how neurons from a snail's brain trying to grow shrivel when exposed to mercury. No other toxin caused this effect, only mercury.

And there is also the devastation that continues 45 years later in Minimata, Japan:

Thanks for listening, I just needed to tell the horror our family has been through the last 8 months from what I truly believe were the effects of mercury exposure on the next generation.

Here are some links for those interested in the truth about mercury. There are hundreds more.

Check out how much your area of the country spews out this poison:

Bless you all, and keep your children safer.

PROTECT THEM FROM MERCURY in ANY form!!
