Thread: Vaccinations - Mercury Poisoning? / Autism

Well Burns I don't think you left any stone unturned.
I am a little disappointed in my veterinarian. They don't ask personal question and such. They always want to X-ray - do this - do that. I would do almost anything for my dog....It is like they put you in a bad position. Vulnerable. So having some knowledge about this is great.
Having moved, I am thinking about changing vets. My friend lived in the same township I now live and was very pleased with his vet.
Too bad you were not closer burns. Although if we had met in person you might give ME the rabies shot.
Thanks a bunch.

As for "to much Mercury", any mercury is to much. I would like to hear your arguement about it though. I have heard some crazy arguements before. Like how small amounts of mercury improves brain function.

Improves brain function??
That is the opposite of the arguments I have heard.
This is more so an argument against mercury in vaccinations that give people reason to not vaccinate their children. Not against than general vaccinations in themselves. However given the fact that there is a possibility of some of these viruses resurfacing, if this became a common habit not to vaccinate your kid this could become, as I said before a dangerous situation.

I need to get the numbers in my head straight before I jot them down. I will elaborate later.. K?

No problem - sorry to write a book, but there's a lot of information regarding vaccinations for their pets that people need to be aware of. Unfortunately, as I was telling you earlier, using the internet as a resource for information can be dangerous - you never know who wrote what and if the information is credible or not.

Below are some credible links for both dogs and cats:

AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association)
AAFP (American Association of Feline Practitioners)

2006 Canine Vaccination Guidelines
2006 Feline Vaccination Guidelines
