Flu Vaccine and the importance in understanding the difference between Methylmercury vs Ethylmercury

June 4, 2014 Leave a comment

Hello friends, I stumbled on  a post being shared in social networks  and I had to do some digging because it was unsettling. The post mentions that the Flu Vaccine has 25,000 times higher mercury level than EPA limit for water. Obviously this raised concerns so I did what most people should do but usually do not, GET MORE DATA.

Then after reading different sites they all agreed with the Centers for disease control and prevention (CDC). There are 2 types of mercury;
1) Ethylmercury: This is the natural mercury turning into METHYLMERCURY by different types of bacteria in the environment. At high levels, it can be toxic to people. HAVING SAID THAT..

2) FLU VACCINE HAS ETHYLMERCURY: they are processed differently in the human body!!! “Ethylmercury is broken down and excreted much more rapidly than methylmercury. Therefore, ethylmercury (the type of mercury found in the influenza vaccine) is much less likely than methylmercury (the type of mercury in the environment) to accumulate in the body and cause harm: This comes from CDCexposureaScreen Shot 2014-06-04 at 2.09.38 PM

WANT A CLOSE EXAMPLE??? HOW ABOUT ALCOHOL
You have METHANOL and ETHANOL
– Drink METHANOL and it will be poisonous
– Drink ETHANOL and you will get a buzz and if abused bad hangover

Information like this is what is causing news like this ->http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2014/04/24/cdc-measles-is-back-and-its-spreading/
