Neurological Sx, Mercury Poisoning Post Vaccine Flu

Hi,

I am just wondering if it is possible to get mercury poisoning from a flu shot??? im suffering a lot of side effects since I got the flu shot in September and I remember a very metallic taste in my mouth for a few days after flu shot. I have 3 metal fillings in my mouth and two caps from root canals. Any input or similar experience would be much appreciated!

My mother too used to always get a bad reaction after a flu shot.  I just felt a little unwell for a day.

After having learned that the flu shot now always contains the immunization against the swine flu, I too refuse to have the flu shot.  I fall under the category of people who should have the flu shot, but I have decided not to.  My doctor tried to persuade me to have it the other week.  The doctors do get a small fee for every patient that has the flu shot.

It may be that the there was some bad fault with the batches of the flu shot that caused the fatalities, or that those people's deaths may have been as a consequence of the swine flu immunization.

Virgin coconut oil is antibacterial, antifungal, helps with supporting the immune system and is also useful to use on the hair, skin, and nails.  The oil does not change its composition with heat like other oils and fats.

With regard to the Vitamin D, I understand that it is the Vitamin D3 is has more benefits.  Vitamin D is made by the liver from exposure to sunshine on our skin as well as from foods that contain the vitamin.  Vitamin D helps with absorption of calcium.  And therefore is important for healthy teeth and bones.

Because this vitamin is stored by the liver, too much of it can be just as unhealthy as not having enough.

At age 15 I just decided I wasn't going to have any more vaccines and that was 26 years ago. Reading about the adverse reactions I'm glad of my decision. Especially reading new stories like this which was reported in December...

"The number of people who have died in Italy after being administered a flu vaccine made by Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis has risen to 13," say reports.  The deaths occurred "within 48 hours of being administered the [vaccine]" and Italian health authorities have issued a partial ban on the vaccination batches believed to be causing the fatalities."

When I was severely deficient in vitamin D I was catching everything going around - cold, flu, bronchitis, strep throat. Optimal vitamin D levels: 40 - 60 ng/mL (100 -150 nmol/L). And you need to make sure you are in optimal range. My mother was taking vitamin D and was also in the sun and her levels was still deficient. She needed to up her vitamin D3.

Science Daily: Vitamin D crucial to activating immune defenses...

"Scientists have found that vitamin D is crucial to activating our immune defenses and that without sufficient intake of the vitamin - the killer cells of the immune system -- T cells -- will not be able to react to and fight off serious infections in the body. The research team found that T cells first search for vitamin D in order to activate and if they cannot find enough of it will not complete the activation process."

From your other posts you do say that you had the flu shot that also contained the immunization against the swine flue.

It is highly likely that you had an adverse effect to that.  

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

You have posted the same question in a number of forums and below is a copy of my reply to one of your other posts:-

No, you can't get mercury poisoning from a flu shot.

Some people do experience allergic reactions to the flu shot and people who have egg allergies should not have the flu shot.  Some people may even come down with flu like symptoms after having the shot for a few days.  

Having catarrh in the throat can sometimes taste metallic and also if you had any bleeding in the mouth from your gums.  Blood tastes metallic.

If you have had your fillings for a very long time, it is wise to see a dentist to check your teeth.  Mercury fillings can break down and leak out.  The dentist will let you know if any of those 3 metal filled teeth need restoration and also examine your other teeth and gums.  Some dentists also screen for mouth cancers.  Should you require replacement fillings, opt for the white ones or Cerek.

Brush your teeth twice a day and floss your gums.  Flossing will help to strengthen your gums.  If you do not floss, you may have some gum bleeding when you first start, but this will stop as your gums get healthier with the flossing.  

As you have been feeling unwell since September, I suggest you make an appointment to see your doctor with a list of your symptoms.  It is likely that you may have a viral or bacterial infection.  If so, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics for bacterial infections.  Viral infections do not respond to antibiotics.

The doctor may decide to order bloods tests which he may feel are required, which will depend on what your symptoms are.

The situation is this. Most multi-dose vials of vaccine contain a preservative called Thimerosol, which contains the element mercury. It is above my pay grade to suggest the dose is dfangerous, but no mercury is good for you.

Single-dose vials do not contain preservative, but usually have to be refrigerated and have a shelf life of 30-60 days.

If you request a single-dose injection in advance (the doctor has to order it) you will not inject any mercury into your system. All vaccines come in mercury-free alternatives, but they are a bit more expensive.

Eat a few brazil nuts daily (high in selenium ) to help with any possible mercury toxicity.
