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 approximately
225,000 to 284,000 a year, which included 106,000 deaths from properly
prescribed medicine. These are considered avoidable deaths occurring
at 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, anti-depressive 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
his 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.

     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 office visit. This increases
the amount of 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 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 office 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]

     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.

   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 is 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.

[i] Mosbys Medical Dictionary 5th Ed. 1998 states: IATROGENIC [Gk.,
iatros, physician, genein, 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.

[iv]Remarks by David Kessler, M.D. Medwatch Health Professionals
Meeting May 4, 1993 "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."

[v] 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 Vaccine Safety, 251 Ridgeway Dr.,
Dayton, OH 45459), a figure supported by two NVIC investigations
(NVIC, "Investigative Report on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting
System").

[vi] 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 of vaccines
and malnutrition. See Tale of Two Hammers –

harmful and to be a highly probably causal factor in autism. Note that
these studies are consistently ignored in the medical establishment's

[xviii] 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.

[xxiii] 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 Michael Alderson's book, 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.

Organized Physicians Were Just As Sure That the Inoculation of People
With Smallpox Was a Good Thing As They Now Are That Vaccination Is
Necessary But Smallpox Inoculation Resulted In Actually Spreading the
Disease and Was Made a Penal Offence in England in 1840.

[xxx] 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
 
Allergies
 Hypogonadism
 
Alzheimer's' disease
 Hypothyroidism
 
Amylotrophic lateral sclerosis
 Infertility
 
Ankylosing spondylitis
 Insomnia
 
Anorexia nervosa
 Irritable bowel syndrome
 
Anxiety
 Juvenile arthritis
 
Asthma
 Learning disabilities
 
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
 Lupus erythromatosus
 
Autoimmune disease
 Manic depression
 
Bipolar disorder
 Multiple chemical sensitivities
 
Borderline personality disorder
 Multiple sclerosis
 
Bulimia
 Myasthenia gravis
 
Candidiasis
 Obsessive-compulsive disorder
 
Chronic fatigue
 Panic attacks
 
Colitis
 Parkinson's disease
 
Crohn's disease
 Pervasive developmental disorder
 
Depression
 Psychosis
 
Endocrine disorders
 Rheumatoid arthritis
 
Environmental illness
 Schizophrenia
 
Fibromyalgia
 Sciatica
 
Food allergies
 Sleep disorders
 
 
 Yeast syndrome
