Mercury
iatrogenic Death and Disease via Acute and Chronic Poisoning
A
Crisis in Medical & Dental Science
(Iatrogenic - Induced in a Patient by a doctor's activity, manner,
therapy or medical
treatment or diagnostic procedures)
The
International Medical Veritas Association (IMVA) has
released this important
document,
meant to be spread throughout the world. Please send it out.
The
International Medical Veritas Association (IMVA) was founded upon the idea that
reforms
are urgently needed in medicine. The IMVA seeks to initiate a climate of
change
in basic health care, working to merge truths from diverse medical systems. The
goal
is to create a new form of medicine that will be more effective than could
otherwise
be
achieved by separate systems alone.

Iatrogenic
Death and Disease
via
Acute and Chronic
Mercury
Poisoning
A
Crisis in Medical & Dental Science
(International
Medical Veritas Association)
Introduction
The
number of people in the United States who die iatrogenic[i] deaths is estimated
by
Dr.
Barbara Starfield[ii] to be approximately225,000 to 284,000 a year, which
included
106,000
deaths from properly prescribed medicine. These are considered avoidable
deaths
occurringat the hands of doctors in hospitals. Gary Null Ph.D. and his medical
colleagues[iii]
estimate the iatrogenic death figures much higher –786,000 by including
outpatient
deaths estimated at 199,000 (noted but not included by Starfield), and other
categories
of iatrogenic deaths like malnutrition perpetuated in hospitals, bedsores and
infections
-108,000, 115,000, and 88,000 respectively. The high end of these
numbers
represents 6 jumbo jets falling out of the sky each and every day and that is
just
for the population in America.
In
children there are many unexplained deaths that are classified as either Sudden
Infant
Death Syndrome (SIDS) or Shaken Baby Syndrome, where the last thing medical
officials
concede is the possibility that mercury and other toxins in vaccines are the
cause.
Thus there are other deaths that can be laid at the feet of the medical
profession
that
are not counted in the above statistics. This is most controversial for we have
many
areas
where deaths are not considered iatrogenic when they actually are. Notably, the
high
toxicity of chemotherapy and anti viral medication cause many deaths that are
not
counted
since death is always attributed to the disease not to the highly dangerous
treatment
protocols.
A
great factor to consider also in counting iatrogenic deaths is the fact that
many
iatrogenic
death and disease go unreported. The FDA and the American College of
Physicians
and Surgeons believe the majority of adverse drug or surgical events never
get
reported because doctors are afraid they will get sued if they report an error.
According
to Dr. David Kessler, former head of the Food and Drug Administration,
"Only
about
1 percent of serious events [adverse drug reactions] are reported to the
FDA."[iv]
The
general rule of thumb presently used though is between 10%[v] to 20% percent of
serious
events getting reported. Thus the above numbers represent conservative
figures,
not figments of imagination. On a world wide level it is
anyone's
guess what the actual numbers are. It might be fair to just
multiply
by about twenty (scaling for populations percentages) yielding about 15 million
deaths
or 120 jumbo jets falling per day instead of six. The international numbers
though
could be a magnitude order higher due to special factors and
considerations.[vi]
The
production of disease by the prescriptions of physicians is what is usually
meant by
iatrogenic
disease.
Iatrogenic
disease is more difficult to count but the specific case of mercury poisoning
gives
us a window onto the hidden dimensions of what is a medical nightmare in
progress.
Despite the growing evidence to a causal link between mercury and
neurological
disorders, such as autism, attention deficit disorder, language delay, and
learning
difficulties, which are being reported on a world wide basis to be rising
dramatically,[vii],[viii],[ix]
the Institute of Medicine (IOM)[x] and the CDC,[xi] and a long
string
of other medical organizations[xii] are certifying mercury, one of the most
toxic
chemicals
known to man, as being safe for use in vaccines. And they continue to do
that
even as they alert the public to a pandemic that has one child in 166 being
diagnosed
with autism spectrum disorders and as many as one in six children
diagnosed
with a developmental disorder and or with behavior problems.[xiii] This
means
that out of the 4 million born each year in the United States approximately
24,000
will be devastated with autism whose cause is being increasing blamed
on
mercury poisoning. And perhaps as many as 600,000 children with mild to severe
learning
disorders, which in part or in whole caused by the neurological destruction of
brain
cells that mercury is proven to precipitate. According to Dr. Mark Geier, who
has
studied
the CDC's own data, "Kids who received 100 micrograms of thimerosal were
over
ten times more likely to have autism than the kids who received no mercury
containing
vaccines". Dr. Geier and his son David Geier calculated the overall
neurodevelopment
damage that can be sourced to mercury toxicity to be approximately
2,402,505
cases.[xiv]
A
careful reading of the published medical research clearly demonstrates that all
sensible
concern for published scientific research regarding the toxicity of mercury has
been
cast aside exposing the entire world's population to grave unwarranted
harm.[xv]
Mercury
is a cumulative poison, and used with other toxic substances in medicine, like
aluminum,
antibiotics, and formaldehyde, create lethal and semi-lethal cocktails that
damage
human life. As each year passes scientists in laboratories around the world are
showing
that mercury poisoning is creating a wide swath of iatrogenic disease.
Tragedies
are evident in many areas, including the harm caused by food additives,
preservatives,
pesticides, water fluoridation, cancer and AIDS treatments, antidepressive
medications
and other drugs having only marginal, if any, benefit. Many
scientists
and doctors have analyzed the dangers embedded in the health care system
in
general and concur that the current health care system is broken. Some
eminent
physicians high in the medical establishment like Dr. Donald Berwick, a
Harvard
trained physician who is a professor at both Harvard Medical School and the
Harvard
School of Public Health, conclude that nothing short of a medical revolution,
that
focuses on eliminating the danger, waste, confusion, and arrogance of modern
medicine
will do.[xvi]
Some people
believe that every drug is a poison and every dose of every drug
produces
disease. When we look, for example, at the fact that all forms of aspirin lead
to
approximately fifteen thousand deaths a year, we can begin to see that there is
a
basic
truth spoken about drugs and the disease they create. All drugs do have side
effects
that create collateral damages to human organisms that in the extreme lead to
death
and chronic disease. This paper concerns drugs and dental products of high
toxicity,
specifically vaccines containing thimerosal and dental amalgams, both which
are
approximately fifty percent mercury by weight.
Western
medicine has been particularly blind to some very important aspects of healthy
living
according to Gary Null Ph.D. and is medical associates. "1) Stress and how
it
adversely
affects the immune system and life process. 2) Insufficient exercise; 3)
excessive
caloric intake; 4) highly processed and denatured foods grown in denatured
and
chemically-damaged soil; 5) exposure to tens of thousands of environmental
toxins."[xvii]
Medical science and the medical establishment have a difficult time dealing
in a
forthright way with both iatrogenic death and disease and this is illustrated
clearly
when
they define the most toxic substances as being safe no matter what evidence is
put
before them.
It is
the inability to see the effects of chronic, low level toxicities on human
health that
has
been, and remains, our greatest failing as intelligent beings.
Boyd
Haley, PhD

Though
mercury is not the only toxic material medicine tolerates in its products we
pick
on
mercury for several principle reasons. First it is one of the most toxic
substances
known
to mankind. Second it is commonly placed only inches from the brain in most
people's
mouths, and thirdly, because it is injected, via the childhood immunization
schedule,
directly into the bodies of babies starting from the first day of life.
The American
Iatrogenic Association is devoted to the study and reporting of medical
errors
that lead to disease and death. But they also believe that approved medical
practices
have led to many cases of iatrogenic disease and death. The common use of
mercury
in medicine and dentistry provides us with a prime example of an approved and
commonly
used medical and dental practice that hurts people in significant ways.
Mercury,
which has been removed from most other medical products, is still endorsed
by the
world's dental organizations and its presence in thimerosal, a compound used in
vaccines,
is endorsed by the World Health Organization.
What
follows, in laymen's language, is a sweeping picture of a chemical nightmare
that
has
occurred because medical and dental authorities have thrown to the wind the
sound
reasoning
of unbiased and reputable scientists, who deal with toxicology, pathology,
pharmacology
and cell biology, thus exposing uncountable millions of adults and
children
around the world to serious injury, death, and lifelong mental
impairment.[xviii]
The
first chapter exposes one of the greatest mistakes made by modern medical
science,
the practice of injecting thimerosal (mercury) into the bodies of newborns and
infant
toddlers via the childhood immunization schedule. The second chapter deals with
how
doctors compound the problem with the practice of injecting as many as nine
vaccines
into a child during a single
dangerous
chemical compounds simultaneously mixed together and the amount of
mercury
a child will receive in one sitting. The third chapter probes the dental
profession’s
use of mercury based amalgam dental fillings and the serious
damage
that comes from constantly leaking amalgam that spill vaporous mercury
into
the oral cavity.[xix] [xx] [xxi] [xxii] We will find
dentists contributing greatly to the
mercury
poisoning of the human race through the use of materials, that when removed
from
the mouth, are considered highly dangerous toxic waste by the Environmental
Protection
Agency and must be handled in a certain way to protect dental
personnel
from mercury poisoning. Many dentists know of the dangers of removal and
recommend
leaving the amalgams in, believing it is healthier to maintain toxic waste
dumps
in human mouths.
Mercury
has been appropriately removed from all other medical products except these,
for it
is one of the most toxic and dangerous elements known to mankind.[xxiii]
Dr
Andrew Wakefield, the British gastroenterologist whose research in 1998 raised
the
first
fears that the MMR combined jab could be linked to children developing autism,
says
about the thimerosal, "It should never have been there in the first place.
Despite
how they try to sell it, there is evidence that there is an association between
mercury
in vaccines and childhood disorders. Mercury was taken out of animal
vaccinations
20 years ago because it was too toxic. Why on earth have we still been
putting
it in jabs for our children?"
If we
choose to live with atrocious medical behaviors, as is suggested by medical
authorities
in the US and elsewhere around the world, who see no problem using highly
poisonous
materials, we can doubt the future direction of civilization and certainly the
protective
paternal nature of government and medical organizations. To deliberately
inject
poisons into newborn babies for reason (or no reason)[xxiv] [xxv] is not
justifiable
under
any circumstances. And to continue to use toxic materials for fillings in
teeth,
when
alternatives are now available, is appalling.
Heavy
metal exposure during early development is associated with impaired
neurological
and cognitive function.[xxvi] [xxvii]
Dr. M.
Waly

University
Though
all is quiet in regards to the amalgam issue lawmakers in the United States are
in
open rebellion against medical authorities at the CDC, the pharmaceutical
companies,
and the World Health Organization, which all still favor the use of thimerosal
(mercury)
even though many researchers are presenting its grave dangers. Presently
Iowa,
Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas have all presented legislation to ban thimerosal
in
childhood
vaccines, and in April of 2004, federal congressman Dr. Dave Weldon and
Congresswoman
Carolyn Murphy from New York introduced legislation to ban mercury
from
vaccines at the federal level.[xxviii] Though there is a firestorm sweeping the
halls
of
science, board rooms in pharmaceutical companies, a conflagration that is
reaching
the
steps of the congress in Washington, with over four thousand cases of vaccine
poisoning
pending, in the third world the issue is not being discussed and as such
children
in most countries are being injected with full strength doses of mercury under
the
auspices of the World Health Organization.
Any
competent biochemist would look at the structure of thimerosal and identify it
as a
potent
enzyme inhibitor. What is surprising is that the appropriate animal and
laboratory
testing
was not done on the vaccines containing thimerosal (and aluminum) before the
government
embarked on a mandated vaccine program that exposed infants to the
levels
of thimerosal that occurred.
Dr.
Boyd E. Haley
Mercury
poisoning is the hidden disaster of public health and goes undiagnosed simply
because
of the stubborn intransigence of health officials that seem to be only worried
about
mercury in fish. From Alzheimer's disease, to a devastating lineup of other
neurological
diseases including Parkinson's, ALS, MS, autism and AD -
mercury
is known to be a potent neurotoxicant that either is the prime cause of such
disorders
or certainly is seen to exacerbate these neurological diseases.[xxix]
If
there is "any doubt whatsoever" about the safety of mercury in
vaccines then it should
be
removed.
Professor
John Oxford
Queen
Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry
Take a
single case of intense mercury poisoning in a child, a case where they have
suffered
from intense stripping of tubulin from the axon structure, or what is commonly
known
as demyelinating disorders [xxx], and you are talking about a child who will
live in
a
state of perpetual agony incomprehensible to most people. No one knows today
what
percentage
of demyelinating diseases are directly caused by mercury poisoning from
vaccines
but if we trust in basic chemistry and the efforts of researchers around the
world
we can believe it to be quite high. Thus the many diseases [xxxi] listed by
Andrew
Cutler,
who has a PhD in chemistry from Princeton, that could be caused by mercury
poisoning,
leads us to suspect a vast source of iatrogenic disease that outpaces all
other
forms of iatrogenic suffering and death.
The
catastrophe with mercury poisoning has been a slowly escalating phenomenon that
broke
through a certain barrier in the past decade and now stands clear as a visible
trend
to basic scientists who have become increasing alarmed, especially as public
health
officials have stonewalled them. What we have is a human disaster unequalled in
the
history of the human race in progress and a medical establishment pretending
that
nothing
is happening.
What
we have is the biggest iatrogenic catastrophe that has ever happened.
Dr.
Mark Geier
In
regards to mercury in vaccines.
In
reality medicine has come up with many disease categories, diagnostic labels
that
simply
hide the truth. Autism is actually a deflection, a way of denying the very
simple
truth
that most of these children have been poisoned by the use of mercury in
medicine
and
dental products, as well as by a long list of toxins flooding the environment.
Yes
there
are complicating factors that need to be discussed in depth, but as the latest
information
from California shows, as mercury levels in vaccines are being reduced
there,
new reports of autism are declining.[xxxii] The largest and most unethical
medical
experiment in history is still on though; our children have been and continue
to
be the
guinea pigs of the western medical establishment. Beyond all reason we find
both
medical and dental science supporting the extensive use of mercury denying each
and
every indication that they are doing great harm.

to produce], caused by treatment or diagnostic procedures. An iatrogenic
disorder
is a condition caused by medical personnel or procedures or through exposure
to the
environment of a health care facility, including fears instilled in patients by
remarks
or questions of examining physicians. See also: 'nosocomial', (iatrogenesis,
iatrogeny,
n.) Within the orthodox medical community, the reference to iatrogenic
illness
is most frequently focussed upon iatrogeny due to errors of judgement,
administration,
etc. by medical practitioners, whilst carrying out their tasks: the focus
being
errors that are made because tasks and judgements of the individual
practitioners,
nurses etc. are erroneous. IMVA sees a much expanded definition,
whereby
the medical knowledge itself that is presently held as correct and sacrosanct
by the
medical orthodoxy is, nevertheless, not itself immune to the charge of causing
iatrogenic
illness.

"Yet even though reports from health professionals are critical to
protecting the
public
health, the unfortunate fact is that most practitioners do not think to report
adverse
events or product problems that might be associated with medications, devices
or
other products regulated by the FDA. One survey found that barely half of
physicians
were
even aware that FDA had a reporting program. And according to one study, only
one
percent of serious events are reported to the Agency. Meanwhile, up to 11
percent
of
hospital admissions may be due to drug reactions, one review article
concluded."

The FDA estimates that only about 10% of adverse reactions are reported
(Reported
by KM
Severyn, R.Ph.D. in the Dayton Daily News, May 28, 1993. Ohio Parents for

Safety, 251 Ridgeway Dr., Dayton, OH 45459), a figure supported by two NVIC

Dr. Ali Al-Bayati, pathologist and toxicologist, believes that much of the
collapse we
are
seeing in the immune systems of the African people (AIDS) is actually being
provoked
by malnutrition and starvation, not by the HIV virus. Secondly these vast
populations
of malnourished people are being subjected to repeated vaccination
campaigns,
which their immune systems have no way of supporting. Any
physician
worth their weight in salt would tell you it is counter indicated to give shots
to
a
child who has a bad cold or flu for reactions that hurt even a healthy child
can
devastate
one with a compromised immune system. Populations weakened by hunger
and
malnutrition are much weaker than people with colds or the flu so vaccinations
are
completely
counter indicated. The large number of vaccines given to children is causing
damage
in the U.S., but much less than in Africa, since they have the combined affects

All of the basic statistics found in this report are from the United States,
which
holds
approximately 1/20th of the world's population. There according to Dr. Mark
Grier
the
overall neurodevelopmental damage that can be sourced to mercury toxicity runs
into
2,402,505 cases, millions with a devastating line up of other neurological
diseases
including
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, ALS, MS, autism and AD. We have
thousands
of children found dead from vaccines in the federal data bases in the United
States,
which report only a fraction (10 percent according to officials at the FDA),
many
kids
dead from Sudden Death Syndrome (many of which who should be counted as
vaccine
provoked death) many babies dead from Shaken Baby Syndrome (where
parents
are accused of killing their kids instead of the vaccines and the mercury and
other
chemicals contained therein) and officially, according to studies published in
reputable
medical journals between 250,00 and 786,000 iatrogenic deaths, in the United
States
alone. Both reports (Dr. Starfield in the New England Journal
of
Medicine who reports 250,00 deaths agrees with Dr Null et al, who reported
786,000
in a
Journal of Nutrition, both agree that 106,000 die each year from properly
subscribed
medicines.) On a world wide level it is impossible to track the numbers and
whether
they would be directly proportional, meaning multiply all the numbers by 20, or
greater
or lesser. Many complex factors must be taken into consideration. For example
in
Africa, where populations are starving and malnourished, they administer
vaccines in
a
totally contraindicated fashion (to populations with severely weakened immune
systems)
thus increasing the collateral damages and deaths.

The argument that the thimerosal containing vaccines could not deliver the
amount
of mercury to cause a systemic illness is somewhat refuted by the history of
the
disease
classified as acrodynia. Perhaps autism will end up like acrodynia, where the
removal
of the causative material (ie., mercury containing teething powders) lead to
cessation
of the disease and the identification of the cause. Due to the perceived low
levels
of mercury in the teething powders and the wide-spread use of mercury in
medicine
at that time it was 10 years after the removal of the mercury containing
teething
powders before medicine acknowledged that mercury exposure was the causal
factor.
It is significant to notice that many of the symptoms of acrodynia are
similar
to the clinical picture of children identified today as autistic, with
attention deficit
disorder,
etc. that have no family history of such diseases or illness classifications.
[xxiv]
A good graph of contagious disease incidence, which begins at 1900 (or
earlier),
will
show a picture of death, disease incidence and severity that declined by 90%
(average)
before vaccine introduction. Plague and scarlet fever declined without
vaccine.
Measles declined in mortality 99.7% before vaccine introduction. At some point
we
might inevitably conclude that vaccine ‘necessity' is a sales gimmick not a
scientific
reality. "Scientific medicine has taken credit it does not deserve for
some
advances
in health. Most people believe that victory over the infectious diseases of the
last
century came with the invention of immunizations. In fact, cholera, typhoid,
tetanus,
diphtheria
and whooping cough, etc, were in decline before vaccines for them became
available
- the result of better methods of sanitation, sewage disposal, and distribution
of
food and water," wrote Greg Beattie in ‘Vaccination: a Parent's Dilemma.'

The
public has never been told that the death rate from infectious diseases fell
long
before
vaccines were introduced. The chart cited above is based on information found
in Tim
O'Shea's book, The Sanctity of Human Blood, and
International
Mortality Statistics. It shows yearly U.S. death rates for four common
diseases
between 1906 and 1975. The propaganda campaign for vaccination has
been
so successful that most of us automatically believe that vaccines are so
effective
they
are responsible for the virtual eradication of serious childhood illnesses. But
nothing
could be further from the truth. "Up to 90% of the total decline in the
death rate
of
children between 1860-1965 because of whooping cough, scarlet fever,
diphtheria,
and measles occurred before the introduction of immunizations and
antibiotics,"
stated Dr. Archie Kalokerinos, M.D.
Most
ministries of health around the world show graphs that start in the 1950's or
even
70's
to make the vaccination look as if they have been responsible for the
eradication of
diseases,
but when you take the graphs back to the early 1900's or late 1800's you
soon
see that vaccination have done little to help the decline of said diseases.

Demyelinating disorders A medical condition where the myelin sheath is damaged.
The
myelin sheath surrounds nerves and is responsible for the transmission of
impulses
to the
brain. Damage to the myelin sheath results in muscle weakness, poor
coordination
and possible paralysis. Examples of demyelinating disorders include
Multiple
Sclerosis (MS), optic neuritis, transverse neuritis and Guillain-Barre Syndrome
(GBS).
Primary
pain is related to the demyelinating process itself. This neuropathic pain is
characterized
often as having a burning, gnawing, or shooting quality. Acute pain
conditions
include trigeminal neuralgia, painful optic neuritis, and Lhermitte's syndrome.
Chronic
pain
conditions such as dysesthesias in the limbs, joint pain, and other
musculoskeletal
or
mechanical pain problems develop as a function of spasticity and deconditioning
associated
with demyelinating disorders [xxxi] Mercury can cause a bewildering variety
of
diseases. According to Andrew Cutler, who has a PhD in chemistry from
Princeton,
"Modern
physicians are not trained to find the root cause of a sick person's problems.
They
are trained to translate what they see into Latin, look it up in their
textbook, and
apply
a cookbook treatment. With a toxin that poisons fundamental metabolic processes
different
people will experience different symptoms to start off, depending on their own
individual
biochemistry. As the poisoning becomes more and more serious, further
symptoms
surface and the modern doctor adds more diagnoses - a patient who starts
with
depression might later be considered to have hypothyroidism, allergies and
asthma
in
addition. But no thought is given to why one person should develop more and
more
"diseases,"
when a single diagnosis - chronic mercury poisoning - could account for
them
all. Some of the "diseases" a modern physician might mistakenly
misdiagnose
chronic
mercury poisoning as are:
Addison's
disease
Gastritis
Hypogonadism
Alzheimer's'
disease
Hypothyroidism
Amylotrophic

IMVA
Members
will soon have access to a legal center, and meaningful information
concerning
medical liability. With the growing wave of litigations threatening to change
the
face of modern day medical practice, the IMVA itself will be involved in
calling the
pharmaceutical
companies to accountability. Our legal center will be a place where
parents
and their lawyers can pool their information and efforts. Some physicians today
are
using courts to issue orders to give children toxic drugs when the parents
refuse to
do so.
Others are blaming parents for damages and deaths that are actually iatrogenic.
We
support medical authorities that honor bioethical principles and respect
parental
decisions
to seek alternative treatment that accords to their own responsible
convictions.
We
will feature virtual conferences for our members on this and many other
subjects,
and
provide opportunities for health professionals to meet with each other to
openly
discuss
important medical and health issues. Medical truth is only discernable when
communications
and dialogue are open. The IMVA is totally dedicated to bringing the
light
of open communication to the field of medicine and health care, through the
careful
listening
and examination of all aspects of each and every medical issue.
