Generation Rescue: Mercury Poisoning - 25 Mercury Myths





Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—1)（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）



Myth #1: Autism is genetic.

There is no evidence to suggest that autism is genetic. No autism gene has ever been found a n d the search will be endless - how can you have a gene fo r a mythical condition? Autism is mercury poisoning. What is true is that certain children may have an impaired ability genetically to detoxify heavy metals from their systems. These children are mo re likely to be affected by mercury exposure. However, all children, a n d adults, if given too much mercury will manifest symptoms of mercury toxicity, which we call "autistic" symptoms. All children bo rn from 1991 fo rward who received all recommended vaccines were injected with levels of mercury that dramatically exceeded safety levels set by the Environmental Protection Agency fo r adults. Mercury has become ubiquitous in our environment: in fish a n d other foods, water, a n d air. Exceedingly high doses of mercury exposure can result in death - it is that neuro-toxic a n d damaging to the human body. Two drops of dimethylmercury spilled onto the gloved ha n d of a Dartmouth chemistry professo r, a leader in a study investigating mercury's causal role in cancer, resulting in the progressive loss of her balance, speech, vision, a n d hearing, a n d ultimately lead to her coma a n d death within a year of the exposure.



（荒诞的说法1：孤独症是遗传的。

没有证据表明孤独症是遗传的。孤独症的基因尚未被发现，它的搜寻将是无止境的——你怎么能有一个虚构疾病的基因？孤独症是汞中毒。某些孩子，因为遗传的原因，体内重金属的解毒能力受损。这些孩子更可能是受到了汞暴露的影响。可是，所有的孩子，和成人，如果给予太多的汞将会表现出汞中毒的症状，即我们叫做“孤独症”的症状。从1991年后出生的孩子都被注射了全部推荐的疫苗，汞的标准显著超过环境保护局为成人所设定的安全标准。汞在我们的环境中到处存在：在鱼里、其它食物里、水和空气里。极高剂量的汞暴露可以导致死亡——它具有神经毒性，损害人体。2滴二甲汞洒落到带手套的达特茅斯化学教授的手上，他是汞对癌症致病作用的研究的领导者，说：在汞暴露一年内，会导致病人平衡、语言、视觉、听觉能力会渐进性的丧失，最终导致昏迷和死亡。）



It is impossible to have a "genetic epidemic." Since 1991, there is a very real a n d dramatic rise in the incidence of autism a n d other neurodevelopmental diso rders. In the 1970s, the incidence of autism was 1 in 10,000 children. In 1986, the rate was 1 in 2,500. Today the rate is 1 in 150. It has been estimated that one in six children have some type of learning disability. Epidemics can happen in 10 years, genetic changes to populations require many generations.



“遗传性的流行病”是不可能发生的。自1991年来，孤独症和其它神经发育性疾病发生率有真实、戏剧性的增长。在上世纪70年代，孤独症的发生率是1/10，000。在1986年，比率是1/2500。今天，比率是1/150。据估计有1/6孩子有某种类型的学习障碍。流行病偶而会发生10年之久，遗传变化达到流行需要许多代。）



Myth #2: Autism is lifelong.

There is a growing body of evidence that children properly treated fo r mercury poisoning fully recover no rmal functioning a n d are indiscernible from their neurotypical peers. Any toxicologist will tell you that mercury poisoning represents a tempo rary, treatable state. Tho rough removal of mercury will resolve most o r all of the symptoms. Autism is only life long if mercury poisoning is never treated.



（荒诞的说法2：孤独症是终生的。

不断增长的证据显示，孤独症的孩子按汞中毒适当治疗，将完全恢复正常机能，与同龄人的神经特征难以分辨。随便哪个毒理学家都会告诉你，汞中毒代表是暂时的性，可治疗的。将汞从体内完全移去将解决大部分或所有的症状。如果汞中毒从未被治疗，孤独症将是终生的。）



Myth #3: Autistic children are not affectionate a n d do not like to be held o r touched.            This is an unfo rtunate myth. Many autistic children are extremely affectionate a n d love to be held a n d hugged. Mercury kills neurons in the brain a n d damages the central nervous system resulting in disturbances in all of the senses - vision, hearing, o ral, smell, proprieceptive (touch), a n d vestibular (motion). Some children develop ultra sensitivities in these systems (e.g., difficulties tolerating loud noise, bright lights, car rides, o r certain kinds of clothing on their skin); others develop extreme undersensitivies (e.g., numbness, abno rmally high pain tolerances, lack of fear o r

physical caution). Children who appear to not like being held o r touched likely do not because it feels painful to them. Touch is literally either too painful o r overwhelming to the senses to tolerate. Many autistic children are extremely affectionate a n d love to be held a n d hugged. Some may even crave o r seek the pressure from that touch to penetrate their dulled senses. Underneath the disto rtions of mercury toxicity, all of these children wish to be held a n d loved.



（荒诞的说法3：孤独症的孩子没有感情，不喜欢被拥抱和触摸。

这是一个不幸的荒诞的说法。很多孤独症的孩子非常有感情，喜欢被抱着和拥抱。汞杀死了大脑中的神经细胞，损害了中枢神经系统，导致所有感觉的失调——视觉、听觉、口腔、嗅觉、触觉和运动。一些孩子在他们的系统中发展出了超敏感性（举例来说，难以忍受大的声音，明亮的光线、骑自行车，或他们的皮肤难以忍受某种衣料。）；其它则发展出极端不敏感（举例来说，麻木，反常的、极高的耐痛性，没有恐惧或身体警觉。）。孩子们表现出不喜欢被拥抱或被触摸，是因为那样会让他们感觉疼痛。触摸简直不是太疼，就是无法忍受。许多孤独症孩子非常有感情，喜欢被拥抱。有些甚至渴望或寻找触觉压力集中在他们迟钝的感觉上。在汞中毒畸变的下面，所有那些孩子都希望被拥抱和爱。）



Myth #4: Autistic children are in their own wo rld a n d are not interested in other people.

Mercury poisoning overloads the senses a n d can make sights, sounds, touch, a n d smells intolerable. This senso ry overload causes some autistic children to withdraw inward as a means of survival - it is their body's way of coping with the massive senso ry overload. Parents often remark, as the mercury is removed from their children's bodies, that they experience their child "in our wo rld" fo r the first time: focusing on people's faces, attending to sounds, a n d having a light o r aliveness in their eyes again. The removal of mercury reduces the senso ry disto rtion a n d overload, making the wo rld a safer, mo re readily understood, a n d mo re tolerable place again. By using our own frame of reference, we mistake an autistic child's retreat inward as an "aloofness" o r "indifference" to those around them. Nothing could be further from the truth.



（荒诞的说法4：孤独症的孩子沉浸在他们自己的世界，对他人不感兴趣。

汞中毒使感觉超载，使得视觉、听觉、触摸和嗅觉难以忍受。这种感觉超载使孤独症的孩子向内退缩，来作为一种生存的方法——这是他们的身体应付大量感觉过载的一种方法。父母经常谈及当汞从他们孩子的身体内被清除后，他们第一次体验到他们的孩子在“在我们的世界”：注视别人的脸，留意声音，在他们的眼睛中又有了一种明亮的、有活力的东西。清除汞减少感觉扭曲和过载，使得这个世界更安全，更容易理解，更能够被忍受。用我们自己做对照，使我们误解孤独症孩子的向内退缩是一种对待他们周围世界的“超然”、“淡漠”的态度。没有任何事情能比真理更深远。）

Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—2)（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）





Myth #5: If you have autism, you are mentally ha n dicapped.

Some autistic children are given IQ tests, which were created fo r people not suffering from mercury poisoning. Because of the limitations caused by senso ry overload a n d damage to the brain a n d central nervous system, some autistic children perfo rm poo rly on the IQ test a n d are labeled "mentally ha n dicapped." Many recovered autistic children are perfo rming at o r above their peer group in a variety of topics in school. There is even some evidence to suggest that intelligence a n d the impaired ability to detoxify may be related through DNA a n d that, in fact, those most susceptible to mercury poisoning are among our most intelligent. Most parents of an             autistic child know that their child is very bright a n d many             clinicians treating autistic children assert that their patients are among the most intelligent children they have ever seen.



(荒诞的说法5：如果你有孤独症，你就是智力残疾。

有些孤独症的孩子接受了智商测试，它是为没有汞中毒的人创建的。因为由感觉过载和大脑及中枢神经系统受损害引起的限制， 一些孤独症的孩子可能在IQ测试中表现的很差，被贴上“智力残疾”的标签。许多康复的孤独症孩子在学校的多方面的表现等于或超过同龄孩子。甚至有一些证据暗示：智力和解毒能力的受损与DNA相关，事实上，那些最容易受汞中毒影响的孩子就在最聪明的那些人中。大多数孤独症孩子的父母认为他们的孩子非常聪明，许多治疗孤独症孩子的临床医生称他们的父母就在那些他们曾见过的最聪明的孩子的父母当中。）



Myth #6: There is no autism epidemic, it's just better diagnosis.

This myth persists despite being refuted by a wide range of scientists, policy makers, a n d health care o rganizations. All the available data points to an epidemic. Between 1992-2002, the Department of Education estimates that there has been a 714% increase in the number of autistic children. In the 1970s, autism was estimated to occur in 1 in 25,000 children. Between 1970 a n d             1990, that number increased to about 1 in 2,500. Today, the CDC acknowledges the number is about 1 in 166, even Eli Lilly, the maker of Thimerosal, says it's 1 in 150. Many believe it is closer to 1 in 125. The anecdotal evidence that we are experiencing an epidemic is overwhelming. If there is no epidemic, then where are all the autistic adults? Ask any docto r, teacher, o r day care wo rker who has been around children fo r 20 o r mo re years, a n d they will tell you that the epidemic is unprecedented. What parent, either now o r 20 years ago, does not notice that their child who spoke at one year is no longer speaking, o r that their child does not respond to their name o r look them in the eyes, o r is displaying odd, repetitive behavio rs like ha n d-flapping, spinning, a n d rocking that no other child is doing? Did those parents 20 years ago not notice these             things?



（荒诞的说法6：没有孤独症的流行，它不过是更好的诊断。

尽管被广泛的科学家、决策者、卫生保健机构所反驳，这个荒诞的说法仍在持续。现有的数据指向一种流行病。在1992-2002年间，教育部估计患有孤独症孩子的数量有714%的增长。在上世纪70年代，估计在2500个孩子中会出现一个孤独症患者。在1970-1990之间，这个数量增加到1/2500。今天，CDC承认数量接近1/166，甚至Eli Lilly公司，硫柳汞的制造者，说它是1/150。许多人相信它更接近1/125。证据表明孤独症的流行势不可挡的的。如果没有流行，那哪儿来的孤独症成年患者？询问任何为孩子服务20年以上的医生、老师、或日托所的工作人员，他们会告诉你流行是空前的。是现在的父母还是20年前的父母，注意到他们的孩子曾经在某年说话，而又不再说话，或他们的孩子对呼唤他们的名字不反应，或不目光对视，或其做他孩子不做的、古怪的、重复性的行为，如拍手，旋转、摇摆等。父母20年前注意到这些事情了吗？）

Generation Rescue: Mercury Poisoning - 25 Mercury Myths



Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—3)（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）





Myth #7: The reason that boys represent 80% - 90% of the epidemic is that autism is an extreme fo rm of the mo re rigid a n d scientific male mind.



(荒诞的说法7：该病80% - 90%的患者为男孩的原因是：孤独症是一种更坚强和更富科学性的男性精神的极端形式。)



Testosterone is a synergistic toxin with mercury which means that it enhances the toxicity of mercury in the body while estrogen appears to protect neurons a n d neuronal fibers from mercury's toxicity. This synergistic toxicity is the reason fo r the high ratio of males in  the epidemic. Arguably the leading scientist on the toxicity of  mercury, Boyd Haley, Ph.D., Professo r a n d Chair of the Chemistry Department, University of Kentucky discusses the issue of testosterone a n d mercury:



(睾丸激素是汞的一种增效毒素，就是说它增强人体内汞的毒性，而雌激素似乎是来保护神经细胞和神经纤维免遭汞的毒性。这种增效毒素，是该病男性发病率高的原因。汞毒性的领先科学家 Boyd Haley博士，肯塔基州大学化学系主任和教授，论证性地论述了睾丸激素和汞的问题。)



"One of the conundrums of autism is the 4:1 ratio of boys to girls that get the disease. We therefo re decided to test the effects of both female a n d male ho rmones on the neurotoxicity of thimerosal. The results were eye-opening. Fo r example, 50 nanomolar thimerosal causes less than 5% neuron death within the first three hours incubation a n d 1 micromolar testosterone causes no significant death within this time frame. However, mix these two together a n d 100% neuron death was observed at the earliest time point checked. This represents a severe enhancement of thimerosal toxicity."



（孤独症的谜之一是患此病的男女比例为4：1。我们因此决定去测试男女激素对硫柳汞的神经毒性的效果。结果令人吃惊。例如，在头3个小时内，50微摩尔硫柳汞会引起不到5%神经细胞的死亡，1微摩尔睾丸激素在同一时间框架内几乎引不起有意义的死亡。然而，将两者混合在一起，在最早的检验时间点，会观察到100%的神经细胞死亡。这代表硫柳汞毒性的剧烈增强。）





Myth #8: Autism is a complex, multi-facto rial epidemic. There are many different causes that all wo rk together. Mercury may be one of the facto rs in creating autism, but saying it is only mercury is way too simplistic.



（荒诞的说法8：孤独症是一种复杂的、多因素的流行病。有许多不同的原因，它们相互作用。汞可能是造成孤独症的原因之一，但说汞是唯一的原因，可能太简单化了。）



The symptoms of autism a n d other neurodevelopmental diso rders are identical to the symptoms of mercury poisoning. The rapid rise in the number of these diso rders co rresponds to the dramatic increase in the amount of Thimerosal (49.6% ethylmercury by weight) given in recommended vaccines to children under two years of age. With the addition of two new vaccines in the early 1990s, the amount of ethylmercury increased 246% with most of this increase being given within the first six months of life when an infant's neural, detoxification, a n d immune systems are all undergoing rapid development. Equally damaging, the vaccines were given much earlier in a child's life, when the capacity to detoxify is still developing. Numerous studies demonstrate again a n d again the causal link between neurodevelopmental diso rders a n d mercury, regardless of  the source of exposure. Finally a n d most definitively of all is that when mercury is removed from these children via chelation o r other means of detoxification, their symptoms resolve.



（孤独症和其它神经发育性疾病的症状与汞中毒的症状相同。这些疾病患者数量的快速增长与2岁以下婴儿推荐疫苗中硫柳汞（其重量的49.6%为乙基汞）的显著增加相一致。在上世纪90年代早期，随着2种新疫苗的增加， 在婴儿出生的头6个月内，即神经系统、解毒系统、免疫系统在快速增长的时候，乙基汞的数量增加246%。在幼儿早期，即解毒能力仍在发展的时期，接种疫苗，造成的损害相等。众多研究多次证明了，不管暴露源是什么，在神经发育性疾病和汞之间存在因果关系的联接。最终起决定作用的证据是通过螯合或其它解毒疗法，当通过螯合疗法将汞从孩子身上消除后，他们的症状消除。



What has made mercury difficult to identify as the culprit is that mercury toxicity is cumulative a n d progressive with a delayed onset. Symptoms can take months to appear, long after exposure, making it difficult to see the clear link. It is also exceedingly difficult to test fo r mercury toxicity in affected children. Mercury poisoning also manifests itself in an astonishing array of symptoms in different people. Differences in manifestations are due to individual biochemistry a n d genetic susceptibilities, gender, amount of mercury received, age of exposure, fo rm of mercury, a n d the presence of other synergistic toxins during exposure, to name a few.



（汞被确定为罪魁祸首的困难在于汞的毒性是累计的、渐进的，延迟发作的。症状可以在接受汞暴露几个月后，才出现，使得人们很难看到它们之间的清晰的联系。对受到影响的孩子检测汞的毒性，也非常困难。汞中毒在不同人身上、表现出一种令人惊异的症状排列。由于个体生化和遗传敏感性、性别、接受汞的剂量、暴露的年龄、汞的形式和在汞暴露期间增效毒素，造成的表现不同，来命名其中的一些疾病。



Mercury alone is not the cause of all of these symptoms, but it is the spark that sets off a cascade of damage in the body. Mercury progressively kills neurons in the brain a n d damages the central nervous system leading to a wide range of neurological, cognitive, a n d senso ry dysfunctions. Mercury displaces specific, essential vitamins a n d minerals, the loss of which go on to create their own damage in the brain, immune, ho rmonal, a n d virtually every other system in the body. Mercury impairs the detoxification system allowing all other toxins, which are ubiquitous in our environment, to accumulate a n d do damage in the body. Mercury damages the gastro-intestinal track creating dysbiosis (imbalance of good a n d bad bacteria) a n d yeast overgrowth. Yeast, itself, is a neuro-toxin a n d allowed to proliferate, can create tiny holes in the lining of  the gastro-intestinal track leading to a condition called Leaky Gut. Molecules of digested food, larger than typical, are able to pass through these holes into the bloodstream where the body recognizes them as fo reign invaders a n d mounts an immune response, triggering food allergies, eczema, a n d other auto-immune reactions. Untreated food allergies a n d a damaged gut can lead to chronic ear a n d other infections. Treating these with antibiotics, as is a typical histo ry with many autistic children, only makes matters wo rse. Antibiotics exacerbate gut dysbiosis a n d, like testosterone, are synergistically toxic with mercury. Damage to the gastro-intestinal track, which is the body's first line of immune defense, lowers the immune system.



（单凭汞不是所有这些症状的原因，但它是引发体内一连串损害的火花。汞渐进的杀死大脑中的神经细胞，损害中枢神经系统，导致大范围的神经、认知、感觉功能失调。汞取代了一些基本维他命和矿物质，而不断失去它们，会造成大脑、免疫、激素、和实质上身体所有其它系统的损害。汞削弱解毒系统，让所有其它毒素积聚和损害身体，这些毒素在我们的环境中到处存在。汞损伤肠胃，造成生态失调（有益细菌和有害细菌的不平衡）和酵母菌的过量增殖。酵母菌本身是一种神经毒素，它的增生扩散可以在肠胃的内壁产生很多微小的孔洞，导致肠漏。消化食物的分子，如果大于典型食物分子，就可以从这些洞中穿过进入血液，身体就会把他们当做外来的侵入病菌，产生免疫反应，触发食物过敏，湿疹和其它自体免疫反应。如果食物过敏和内脏的损害不被医治，会导致慢性耳朵和其它感染。用抗生素来治疗这些疾病，它是孤独症孩子的典型病史，只会导致问题更糟糕。抗生素，加剧内脏的生态失调，像睾丸激素一样，它是汞的增效毒素。对肠胃、人体第一道免疫防线的损害，会减弱免疫系统。



The symptoms of mercury poisoning are varied a n d complex. But, the cause is simple a n d always will be: mercury toxicity. Remove the spark a n d the body has a chance to balance a n d heal.



（汞中毒的症状是多样和复杂的。但病因是简单的，它总是：汞的毒性。移去这个火花，身体将有机会平衡和痊愈。）

Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—4)（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）





Myth #9: Saying that vaccines cause autism will create a return to unvaccinated children dying from many childhood diseases we have nearly eradicated.



(荒诞的说法9：说疫苗引起孤独症，将引起很多未接种疫苗的孩子死于许多我们几乎已经根除的、儿童时期的疾病这种情况的恢复。）



Thimerosal contains ethylmercury, a potent neurotoxin. Thimerosal, administered through vaccines, is the primary source of mercury exposure a n d the root cause of the autism epidemic. Thimerosal is an untested, unnecessary vaccine preservative. Today, most vaccines are available with reduced o r no amounts of Thimerosal (with the exception of the flu vaccine with 25 micrograms per shot) a n d are still effective. Many health o rganizations, physicians, a n d scientists agree that there is no safe level of mercury. Being anti-mercury is distinct from being anti-vaccine.



（硫柳汞含有乙基汞，一种烈性的生物毒素。通过疫苗给予硫柳汞，是汞暴露的主要来源，是孤独症流行的根本原因。硫柳汞是一种未经试验的、不必要的疫苗防腐剂。今天，除了流感疫苗带有25微克/注射的硫柳汞，大多数的疫苗使用减量的或不含硫柳汞，仍然有效。许多保健组织，医生和科学家承认没有汞的安全标准。反对汞和反对疫苗是截然不同的。）



Using a potent neurotoxin in the vaccines given to infants a n d children has seriously eroded the public's trust in the vaccine program. The unwillingness of most public autho rities to acknowledge the true cause of the current epidemic will only further erode this trust. To try to turn the argument back around a n d accuse advocates of the mercury-autism connection as being "anti-vaccine" is nothing mo re than an attempt to muddy the debate fo r reasons of self-interest a n d self-protection.



（在给婴儿和儿童使用的疫苗中使用烈性的神经毒素，已经严重的侵蚀公众对疫苗接种计划的信任。多数公众权威人士，不愿意承认当前这种流行病的真正原因，只能更进一步的侵蚀了这种信任。把该争论翻过来，谴责孤独症——汞关系的提倡者为“反疫苗”，是出于个人私利和自我保护的原因，将该争论搅混。）



Myth #10: You say mercury from Thimerosal causes autism.. Others say the MMR vaccine causes autism. But, the MMR vaccine has never contained Thimerosal. How can both be true? The MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine does not contain Thimerosal. Unlike most vaccines, the MMR is a live-virus vaccine a n d therefo re does not need Thimerosal as a preservative. However, the fact that the MMR is a triple live-virus vaccine is part of the problem. The goal of a live virus is to trigger a mild immune response a n d build immunity. This may wo rk in a healthy child. However, many children who develop autism are already burdened with mercury poisoning by the time they receive the MMR at 12-18 months. Mercury impairs the immune system, a n d the live virus, rather than triggering a mild response, can overwhelm an impaired immune system. A virus' goal is to find a host a n d recreate. There is scientific proof that many autistic children have their intestinal walls lined with the measles virus received from the MMR vaccine. The virus is able to host a n d replicate due to the impaired immune system of the child. Some docto rs believe the live MMR virus traps heavy metals within the cells of the body a n d further impairs the body's ability to excrete metals. The reason some parents repo rt immediate regression in their child's behavio r after an MMR vaccine is that, fo r some children, it may be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back.



（荒诞的说法10：你说来自硫柳汞的汞引起孤独症。其他人说MMR 疫苗引起孤独症。但是MMR疫苗根本不包含硫柳汞。怎么可能两者都是真的呢？



MMR疫苗（麻疹—腮腺炎—风疹）疫苗并不包含硫柳汞。和大多数的疫苗不同，MMR是活的病毒疫苗，因此不需要硫柳汞做防腐剂。然而，事实上MMR疫苗是3倍的活病毒疫苗，这正是问题的一部分。活病毒的目的是引发缓和的免疫反应，建立免疫力。这也许会在一个健康的孩子身上起作用。然而，许多发展成孤独症的孩子，在他们12-18个月大接种MMR疫苗的时候，他们已经在承担汞中毒的麻烦。汞伤害了免疫系统，活病毒也不仅仅引发缓和的免疫反应，它能将受损的免疫系统倾覆。病毒的目标是找到一个寄主，然后再现。有科学证据证明：许多孤独症的孩子在他们的肠内壁排列许多从MMR疫苗中得到的麻疹病毒。由于受损的免疫系统，该病毒能寄宿人体，并且再现。一些医生认为活的MMR 病毒在人体细胞内诱骗重金属，进一步损害人体排泄金属的能力。许多家长报告，接种MMR疫苗后，他们孩子行为的立即倒退的原因就在于此，对于一些孩子，它可能是压倒骆驼的最后那根稻草。）

Generation Rescue: Mercury Poisoning - 25 Mercury Myths



Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—5)（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）





Myth #11: The mercury used in vaccines is the safe kind of mercury that the body disposes of quickly.



Methylmercury, the kind of mercury found in fish, is mo re widely understood a n d studied than ethlymercury, the kind of mercury found in Thimerosal. This has led to the false assertion that ethylmercury is the "safe" fo rm of mercury. The assertion that certain fo rms of mercury are quickly a n d easily excreted by the body violates basic principles of chemistry a n d physics. There is no such thing as a safe fo rm of the second-most toxic substance on earth. Dozens of studies have demonstrated the extreme toxicity of ethlymercury a n d the fact that most autistic children retain meaningful quantities of mercury in their majo r o rgans after receiving vaccines containing Thimerosal. Parents who chelate their children have fecal, urine, a n d hair toxic metals tests showing mercury being excreted at levels 10-50x no rmal.



(荒诞的说法11：用在疫苗中的汞是汞的一种安全的形式，人体可以很快除去。甲基汞，在鱼身上发现的一种汞，比起乙基汞，硫柳汞中发现的汞，是被更广泛了解和研究的。这导致错误的断言即乙基汞是汞的一种“安全”形式。某些形式的汞会很快、很容易被人体排泄，这种断言是违反化学和物理学的基本原理。地球上第二最毒的物质会有安全形式，没有这样的事。许多研究证实了乙基汞的极端毒性，同时证实了这样一个事实：多数孤独症孩子，主要器官中保留的有意义数量的汞，是接种含硫柳汞的疫苗之后。给他们的孩子做螯合治疗的父母，他们孩子粪便、尿液、头发的有毒金属化验，都说明汞以通常标准的10--50倍的水平排泄。）





Here is Dr. David Baskin, testifying befo re Congress, on the differences between methyl a n d ethyl mercury:



（这里David Baskin博士，在议会中做证，分析了甲基汞和乙基汞的不同：）



"There is mo re data, mo re a n d mo re data on ethlymercury. The cells that I showed you dying in cell culture are dying from ethlymercury. Those are human frontal brain cells. You know, there has been a debate about...ethyl versus methyl. But from a chemical point of view most chemical compounds that are ethyl penetrate into cells better than methyl...When I began to wo rk with some of the Ph.D.s in my labo rato ry a n d discuss this everyone said, 'oh gosh, you know, we've got to adjust fo r ethyl because it's going to be wo rse; the levels are going to be much higher in the cells.'"



（“有越来越多的有关乙基汞数据。我给你看死于乙基汞的细胞培养中的细胞。那些是人体前额的大脑细胞。你知道，关于乙基对甲基有一些争论。但是从化学的观点看，多数的化学化合物是乙基刺入细胞比甲基更多...当我开始在我的实验室工作，探讨这个问题，每个人都说，“唉，糟了！你知道，我们已经开始调整乙基，因为它更坏；细胞中的水平更高。”）

Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—6)（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）





Myth #12: The mercury received in a vaccine is no greater than in a can of tuna. Eating a can of tuna has certainly never caused autism. This myth has received a lot of publicity because it offers an analogy anyone can understa n d a n d makes the mercury-autism connection appear trivial.



(荒诞的说法12：接种疫苗中的汞并不比一罐金枪鱼罐头中的汞多。吃一罐金枪鱼罐头肯定不会引起孤独症。这个已经被推广宣传的荒诞的说法，因为它提供了一个任何人都能理解的类比，使得汞-孤独症的关联似乎无足轻重的。）



We can start by comparing a 200-pound male adult consuming tuna with the infant who receives a single vaccine on their first day of birth (since day-old infants don't eat tuna). On the first day of birth an infant receives the vaccine with about 25 micrograms of ethlymercury - this does approximate the 30 micrograms of methlymercury in an average can of tuna. Since the average infant weighs about 7 pounds, the weight equivalent number of cans of tuna fo r an adult would be 28 cans. (The adult male weighs 28x mo re than the infant.)



（我们可以把一个体重200磅的男性成年人，消费金枪鱼与一个出生第一天就接种疫苗的婴儿（刚出生一天的婴儿不能吃金枪鱼）做比较。出生第1天的婴儿就接种了乙肝疫苗，该疫苗含有25微克的乙基汞——这确实近似于一罐金枪鱼罐头平均所含的乙基汞。因为平均婴儿重量为7磅，这个数量相当于成人吃下28罐金枪鱼罐头。（成年男性的体重是婴儿的28倍还多。）



If you take those 28 cans of tuna a n d distill it down to mercury content, you would have 840 micrograms of mercury (30 micrograms per can). Keep in mind that the stomach successfully abso rbs a n d excretes about 90% of any mercury ingested through food, leaving only about 10% of the mercury to be abso rbed into the bloodstream. Since the mercury in vaccines is injected directly into the bloodstream where 100% of it can be abso rbed by the o rgans, you would need an additional 252 cans of tuna to get the equivalent amount of mercury into the bloodstream fo r a total of 280 cans of tuna a n d 8,400 micrograms of methlymercury.



（如果你拿着这28罐金枪鱼罐头，提取它里面的汞，你将得到840微克的汞（平均30微克/罐）。紧记：胃成功的吸收并排泄了从食物中摄取的90%的汞，留下仅10%的汞被吸收倒血液中。因为疫苗中的汞是被直接注射进血液，会被器官100%的吸收，你将需要另外的252金枪鱼罐头来获取相等数量的汞进入血液，即总共280罐的金枪鱼罐头和8，400微克的乙基汞。）



Also, remember that a developing brain is far mo re sensitive to toxins than an adult brain. Current estimates say mercury is 5-10x mo re toxic fo r a developing brain. We'll use the low end of that range, so multiply the 280 cans of tuna by 5 a n d you get 1,400 cans of tuna.



（而且，正在发育的大脑比成人脑对毒素要敏感的多的多。目前估计说对正在发育的大脑，汞的毒性是成人大脑的5-10倍。我们用最低值，这样280罐金枪鱼罐头乘以5，你将得到1，400罐金枪鱼罐头。）



So, receiving the Hep B vaccine with Thimerosal on the first day of birth is the equivalent of a 200-pound adult male consuming 1,400 cans of tuna in a single day. One final adjustment: the adult male in the analogy needs to have no capacity to excrete mercury. As Boyd Haley, Ph.D. notes, "it is very well known that infants do not produce significant levels of bile o r have adult renal capacity fo r several months after birth. Bilary transpo rt is the majo r biochemical route by which mercury is removed from the body, a n d infants cannot do this very well."



（在出生第一天所接种的乙肝疫苗中的硫柳汞相当于一个200磅的成年男性在一天内消费1，400罐金枪鱼罐头。一个最终修正是：类比中的成年男性没有能力来排泄汞。Boyd Haley博士,指出：“出生几个月的婴儿不能产生有意义水平的胆汁，或没有成年人肾脏能力，这很好理解。胆汁的输送是汞被人体清除的主要生化通道，婴儿是不能很好的做这件事”。）

So, a 200-pound male who consumes 1,400 cans of tuna in a single day a n d has their ability to excrete mercury severely diminished is the same as a day-old infant receiving the Hep B vaccine. Now the analogy is fair.



（这样，一个体重200磅的成年男性，在一天内消费1，400罐金枪鱼罐头，并且他们排泄的汞能力被猛烈的减小，这样才能与一个出生仅一天的婴儿接种的乙肝疫苗的影响相同。现在这个类比才是公平的。）

Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—7)（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）



Myth #13: The mercury received through a vaccine has always been at trace levels, but not ever enough to cause harm. The Wo rld Health O rganization has stated that there is no safe level of mercury. 246 micrograms of mercury, the amount received by children bo rn between 1990 a n d 2002 befo re the age of two as part of  the recommended vaccine schedule, has created an epidemic of neurodevelopmental issues.



(荒诞的说法13：通过疫苗所接受的汞是微量水平，并不足以引起伤害。

世界保健组织称没有汞的安全标准。1990-2002之间出生的婴儿，2岁前所接受的推荐疫苗接种计划表上的汞的量是246微克的汞，已经产生了神经发育疾病的流行。）



Even Dr. Pierre Lavigne, a spokesman fo r Aventis Pasteur, a manufacturer of vaccines, states, "The impo rtant thing to note is that thimerosal is an issue really only fo r pediatric vaccines fo r small children. The developing nervous system is very sensitive, so if they're exposed to mercury it's mo re likely to cause damage."



(甚至Pierre Lavigne博士，Aventis Pasteur（一个疫苗厂商）的发言人，说：“重要的是要注意硫柳汞是一个只用于婴儿的儿科疫苗。发育中的神经系统非常敏感，如果它们暴露于汞中，就很可能引起损害。）



Neal Halsey M.D., the Fo rmer Chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics committee on infectious diseases (who makes recommendation on vaccinations) states, "In most vaccine containers, thimerosal is listed as a mercury derivative, a hundredth of a percent. A n d what I believed, a n d what everybody else believed, was that it was truly a trace, a biologically insignificant amount. My honest belief is that if the labels had had the mercury content in micrograms, this would have been uncovered years ago. But the fact is, no one did the calculation."



（Neal Halsey博士，美国儿科学会感染性疾病的前主席（他负责推荐疫苗）说到，“在大多数的疫苗容器中，硫柳汞被列为汞的衍生物，百分之一的含量。我相信，所有人都相信，它真是微量的，生物学上可忽略的量。我确实相信：如果标签上汞的含量以微克计，几年前它就会被揭露。但实际上，没人做这个计算。）



Myth #14: There have been many autistic children who showed no sign of mercury after testing. Therefo re, the idea that autism is nothing mo re than mercury poisoning is implausible. It is very true that some autistic children, tested fo r mercury poisoning via a chelation challenge o r provocation test, showed no signs of mercury excretion. However, these results are not because these children are not mercury poisoned, but because they are the most mercury poisoned a n d are known as "non-excreto rs."



（荒诞的说法14：许多孤独症的孩子，在检测后并没有汞中毒迹象的表现。因此，孤独症只不过是汞中毒的观念是难以让人相信的。

一些孤独症的孩子，通过螯合激发或诱发试验，检测汞中毒，并没有发现汞的排泄物的病征，这是真的。然而，这些结果并不是因为孩子不是汞中毒，而是因为他们汞中毒最严重，被称为“没有排泄功能”。）



A non-excreto r of mercury is someone who, even after the administration of a chelating agent (which is how a mercury toxicity test has typically been perfo rmed), is unable to excrete any mercury. A majo rity of autistic children are non-excreto rs. Autistic children typically have some genetic impairments in their detoxification pathways. These impairments are wo rsened with each additional exposure to mercury as accumulated mercury effectively shuts down the body's detoxification system, thereby exacerbating their mercury poisoning. The non-excreto r phenomenon has only been recently understood a n d studied. Unfo rtunately, many autistic children were given a single chelation challenge test, showed no mercury excretion, a n d were falsely told that, "mercury is not an issue here." These are often the children most overloaded with mercury! It may require a few months of chelation befo re a non-excreto r will show any mercury coming out of their body, at which point it typically starts to pour out of the body. As Dr. Rashid Buttar noted in a recent study he did of chelating autistic children:



（没有汞的排泄能力，是指一些人，甚至在服用螯合药剂之后也不能排泄任何汞。多数孤独症孩子没有汞的排泄能力。孤独症孩子的解毒通道的某些基因受损害。当积聚的汞有力的关闭了身体的解毒系统时，这种损害会使额外的汞的暴露恶化，因此加剧了汞中毒。没有排泄能力的现象，仅仅是最近才被了解和研究。不幸的是，孤独症的孩子给予单独是螯合激发检验，显示没有汞的排泄，然后被错误的告知：“汞并不是问题。”经常有孩子汞过载！一个没有汞的排泄能力的人，在他们体内能显示有汞被排出之前，需要几个月的螯和治疗，然后汞会开始不断倾泻而出。Rashid Buttar博士，在最近他给孤独症的孩子做的螯和研究中指出：）



"Virtually all patients reviewed in the study did NOT show any appreciable amount of mercury level on baseline tests. Results however clearly showed that as treatment continued, an increase in the level of mercury being excreted was increased."



（事实上回顾研究中的所有的病人，开始并没有显示任何值得重视的汞的量。结果很清楚的表明，当治疗继续进行时，排泄出的汞的水平不断增长。）

Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—8 )（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）



Myth #15: The scientific sta n dard fo r proof is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. If you are so sure mercury causes autism, where is this study to prove it?

（荒诞的说法15：做证据的科学标准是双盲的、无效对照控制的研究。如果你那么肯定是汞引起的孤独症，那这个证明它的研究在哪？）



First, there is no double-blind, placebo-controlled study to show Thimerosal is safe. In o rder to do an effective double-blind, placebo-controlled study, you would need to vaccinate a group of children with Thimerosal-containing vaccines a n d vaccinate another group of children with Thimerosal-free vaccines using the current vaccine schedule, then follow their development over a 2-4 year period, a n d see which ones develop neurological issues a n d which do not. Obviously, this would be a challenging study to recruit children fo r, "Your child will be part of a study where they may receive a vaccine with a substance in it that many believe causes autism. Would you like to participate?" Given the impracticality of such a study, here are some alternative studies that could be done:



（首先，没有双盲的、无效对照控制的研究，来说明硫柳汞是安全的。为了做一个有效、双盲、无效对照控制的研究，你将需要按当前的免疫接种程序表的项目，给一组孩子接种含汞的疫苗，给另一组孩子接种不含汞的疫苗，然后跟踪他们2-4岁阶段的发育情况，看哪一些人会产生神经问题，哪些不会。很明显，征招孩子，这将是一个引起争论的研究，“你的孩子是研究的一部分，他们将被接种疫苗，这种物质许多人相信引发孤独症。你愿意参加吗？”这种研究是不切实际的，这里有一些试验可供选择：）



1. You could analyze the data the government maintains through its "Vaccine Adverse Events Repo rting System" a n d compare the data they already have on children who received Thimerosal-containing vaccines against children who did not receive Thimerosal in their vaccines. This study has already been done by Mark & David Geier a n d showed a high co rrelation between Thimerosal dosing a n d neurological diso rders:



（1.你可以通过分析政府的“疫苗不利事件报告系统”获得的数据，对比那些已经接种含汞疫苗的孩子与没有接种含汞疫苗的孩子的数据。该研究已经由Mark & David Geier做过了，显示在硫柳汞与神经疾病之间有很高的关联性。）

"The Autism study consisted of 31 patients with the diagnoses of autism, autism like spectrum, a n d pervasive developmental delay. Inclusion criteria was simple, including an independent diagnosis of the above mentioned conditions from either a neurologist o r pediatrician, a n d the desire of the parent to try the treatment protocol using TD-DMPS. All patients were enrolled sequentially as they presented to the clinic a n d only those who did not wish to participate in the TD-DMPS were not included.

Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—10)（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）



Myth #15: The scientific sta n dard fo r proof is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. If you are so sure mercury causes autism, where is this study to prove it?



(荒诞的说法15：做证据的科学标准是双盲的、无效对照的研究。如果你那么肯定是汞引起的孤独症，那这个证明它的研究在哪？）



            (...continued)（继续）



Compared to the baseline results all 31 patients showed significantly higher levels of mercury as treatment continued. Slide #39 shows significantly higher mercury levels in this same study patient after two months of treatment with the TD-DMPS, with results showing approximately a 350% increase from previous baseline levels. The improvements in the patients in the study co rrelated with increased yield in measured mercury levels upon subsequent testing. Essentially, what was noted was that as mo re mercury was eliminated, the mo re noticeable the clinical improvements a n d the mo re dramatic the change in the patient.



(当治疗继续的时候，对比31个病人的最初检验结果，显示值得注意的、更高的汞的水平。第39号幻灯片显示了在用TD-DMPS治疗2个月后、同一研究病人的值得注意的、更高的汞的水平，结果显示是以前最初水平大约350%的增长。在研究中病人的改善与随后检验中所测量的汞的水平增长有关。基本上，需要指出的是清除的汞越多，临床改善就越显而易见，病人的改变就越戏剧化。)



The manifestations of this evidence fo r clinical improvements included many observations but were specifically quantifiable with some patients who had no prio r histo ry of speech starting to speak at the age of 6 o r 7, sometimes in full sentences. Patients also exhibited substantially improved behavio r, reduction a n d eventual cessation of all stemming behavio r, return of full eye contact, a n d rapid potty training, sometimes in children that were 5 o r 6 but had never been successfully potty trained. Additional findings repo rted by parents included improvement a n d increase in rate of physical growth increased, as well as the child beginning to follow instructions, becoming affectionate a n d social with siblings o r other children, seeking interaction with others, appropriate in response, a n d a rapid acceleration of verbal skills. The results in many of these children has been documented on video a n d other physicians involved with this protocol have been successfully able to reproduce the same  results.



（临床改善的表现包括许多观察，但特别可以计量的是有些病人以前没有语言，在6-7岁的时候开始说话，有时甚至是整句。病人也充分展示了行为的改善，刻板行为的减少甚至是完全停止，眼神接触的恢复，训练迅速、容易，有时候5、6岁的孩子，训练也并不成功、容易。由父母报告的另外的发现，包括身体发育速度的增加和改善，孩子开始听从指令，变的与同胞或其他孩子有感情、爱交际，寻找与其他人的互动，应答适当，语言技巧的迅速改进。许多孤独症孩子的效果已经在电视上被记录，许多采纳该治疗方案的其他医生也已经成功的再现出同样的结果。）

Mercury is the "spark" that causes the "fires" of Autism as well as Alzheimer's. Autism is the result of high mercury exposure early in life versus Alzheimer's is a chronic accumulation of mercury over a life time. A docto r can treat ALL the "fires" but until the "spark" is removed, there is minimal hope of complete recovery with most improvements being transient at best. However, once the process of mercury removal has been effectively started, the damage is curtailed a n d full recovery becomes possible..."



（汞是引发孤独症大火的“火花”。与Alzheimer's 相对，孤独症是生命早期高汞暴露的结果后者是一生中慢性汞的蓄积。除非消除火花，医生才能治疗“大火”，完全康复的微小希望，多数情况最多伴随短暂的改善。可是，一旦清除汞的过程有效的开始，损害将被减少，完全康复将成为可能。）



7. You could remove the mercury from some autistic children a n d not remove mercury from other autistic children a n d see if there was any difference in cognitive improvement over time. This is what hundreds of docto rs a n d thousa n ds of parents are doing every day throughout the country right now a n d seeing their children recover.



（7.你可以从某些孤独症的孩子体内移除汞，其他孤独症孩子体内的汞不被移除，看随着时间的过去孩子在认知改善方面有什么不同。马上全国将有几百名医生和数千的家长每天在做这件事，看他们孩子的康复。）

Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—11 )（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）



Myth #16: The scientific a n d medical communities have proven there is no co rrelation between Thimerosal in vaccines a n d autism. Many in the medical a n d regulato ry communities assert that "there is no proof" o r that "they proved there was no connection" regarding the link between mercury a n d autism. This assertion has been widely repo rted in the mainstream press to the point that it is now accepted as fact. It is impo rtant fo r any parent to view these statements critically a n d understa n d what a n d who are actually making these assertions.



(荒诞的说法16：科学和医学界已经证明，疫苗中的硫柳汞与孤独症之间并无关联。

许多医学界和机构称“没有证据“或“他们已经证明在孤独症和汞之间并无关联”。这种声明已在主流新闻上被广泛报道，这点已经被作为事实来接受。对家长来说批判的看待这些声明，了解实际上是谁、怎么来做了这些声明，是非常重要的。）



Generation Rescue believes autism is an issue of toxicology. Yet, you never hear from a toxicologist saying there is no co rrelation between autism a n d mercury. This is because toxicologists know that the link is likely. Hearing a psychiatrist comment on mercury toxicity is like seeking the opinion of a urologist fo r a new heart procedure. It doesn't make sense to accept the expertise of people who have no experience in the field of heavy metal toxicity.



（拯救一代人认为孤独症是一个毒理学的问题。然而，你从未听一未毒理学家说，孤独症和汞之间没有关联。那是因为毒理学家知道关联很可能存在。听一位精神病医生评论汞的毒性，像对一位泌尿科医生寻求对新的心脏疗法的看法。接受一位在重金属毒性方面没有经验的专家的意见是没有意义的。）



The only science that claims to refute the connection is epidemiological science. Epidemiological study is statistical analysis of population data (in this case, analyzing fo r a co rrelation between the amount of Thimerosal received with the incidence of neurological diso rders). The outcomes of epidemiological studies, however, are highly sensitive to small changes in the parameters of analysis (e.g., definition of diso rder, amount of dosing, timeframe). In other wo rds, it is easy to massage the data to reduce the power of statistical co rrelation. There have never been any medical studies done to establish "no proof" in the way many studies have been done in Myth #15 to establish "proof." There was no safety testing of Thimerosal in children befo re it was put into pediatric vaccines. There have been no placebo-controlled studies following children fo r five years after receiving vaccines containing Thimerosal.



（唯一声称反驳关联说的科学是免疫学。免疫学研究是人口数据的统计分析（在这种情况下，也就是分析硫柳汞的数量与神经系统疾病发病率的关联）。免疫研究的结果，仍然，对分析参数的细小变化高度敏感。（举例来说，疾病的定义，剂量，时间框架）。换句话说，它很容易修改数据减少统计相关性。从来没有作过任何医学研究来确立“无证据”，像荒诞的说法15中已作过来证实“有证据”的研究那样。在硫柳汞被放进儿科疫苗之前，并没有作过儿童的硫柳汞的安全性试验。也没有追踪那些接种含汞疫苗的5年后孩子的无效对照研究，。）



The actual epidemiological science that is held up as "proof" of no connection is both paltry a n d controversial. The totality of the "scientific evidence" centers on three clusters of recently released info rmation from the medical community. These include:



（实际免疫科学用作无关联的“证据”是既无价值，也是充满争议的。“科学证据”的全体集中在最近医药界发布信息的3个簇上。它们包括：）



-   A CDC study that appeared in Pediatrics in November of 2003 is the primary study held up as "proof" of no connection between Thimerosal a n d autism. This is astonishing in light of the fact that both the study a n d the autho r of the study repo rt that the analysis was "inconclusive" a n d mo re research was required. The study that fo rms the basis fo r the assertion of "proof" admits it did not prove anything! Also, Pediatrics represented that the autho r of the study was an employee of  the CDC when in fact he had become an employee of Glaxo SmithKline, a vaccine manufacturer. (See Myth #17). A separate study of this same data undertaken by an independent research team (Geier & Geier) identified significant co rrelations between Thimerosal exposure a n d the rate of neurodevelopmental diso rders.



（出现在2003年11月的《儿科学》上的一份CDC的研究，是作为“证据”，来证明硫柳汞和孤独症之间没有关联的一个基本研究。令人惊异的是研究和研究报告的作者，研究报告的分析是“非结论性”，并且要求更多的调查。此研究形成了该主张“证据”的基础，承认并没有证明任何东西！而且，《儿科学》称研究的作者是CDC的雇员，事实上同时他也成为Glaxo SmithKline，一个疫苗厂商的雇员。（看荒诞的说法17）。由一个独立的研究组(Geier & Geier)承担的、同样数据的独立研究确定在硫柳汞暴露和神经发育疾病发病率之间存在重要关联。）



- Four studies from Denmark, where Thimerosal was removed from vaccines in 1992, appeared in four separate medical journals in 2002-2003 a n d assert that Denmark's population data demonstrates no link between Thimerosal a n d autism. Not only has the methodology of the "Denmark Studies" been disputed, but it also was later established that the autho rs of all four studies had an economic interest in a n d/o r are employees of a Danish vaccine manufacturer who had recently received a big o rder from the United States fo r vaccines. The publishing journals did not mention these associations in any of the repo rts. (See Myth #18)



（来自丹麦的4个研究，那里1992年硫柳汞就从疫苗中被移除，出现在2002-2003年间4个单独的医学期刊上，称丹麦的人口资料证明硫柳汞和孤独症之间并无关联。不但“丹麦研究”的方法受到争议，而且后来确定所有4个研究的作者与丹麦疫苗厂商，有经济利益或是它的雇员，该疫苗厂商最近从美国接了一个大的疫苗定单。出版的杂志在报告中并没有提到这些关联。）



- A study by the Institute of Medicine released in March 2004 claims there is no link between Thimerosal a n d autism. The IOM did not do any primary research, they simply reviewed what already had been done, focusing mostly on the above CDC a n d Danish studies fo r their conclusion. (See Myth #19). This conclusion was a change from a similar review in 2001 by the IOM that stated the mercury-autism link was "biologically plausible". While there appear to be no links between the members of the reviewing panel a n d vaccine makers, there were no toxicologists o r other scientists versed in mercury toxicity included in the panel.



（2004年3月发布的医学学会的一份报告，称硫柳汞和孤独症之间并无关联。医学学会未做任何基础研究，他们只是简单的评论已经完成的事情，主要聚焦在上述CDC和丹麦的研究作为他们的结论。（看荒诞的说法19）。这个结论与2001医学学会年做的相似评论相比，有一个变化，它称汞——孤独症的关联是“生物学上的似是而非”。似乎评审的专家小组成员和疫苗制造厂商之间并无关联，没有毒理学家和其他精通汞毒性的科学家包括在该小组里。）

Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—12)（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）



Myth #17: The CDC did a study a n d proved there was no link between mercury in vaccines a n d autism.



（荒诞的说法17：CDC做了一个研究，证明疫苗中的汞与孤独症之间并无关联。）



In the November 2003 a study appeared in the medical journal Pediatrics titled, "Safety of Thimerosal-Containing Vaccines: A Two-Phased Study of Computerized Health Maintenance O rganization Databases" written by Thomas Verstraeten who had been an employee of the Centers Fo r Disease Control. By the time the study was published, he was an employee of Glaxo SmithKline, a vaccine manufacturer. It is this study, mo re than any other, which has fo rmed the basis fo r the mainstream medical community to claim that the link between vaccines a n d autism has been disproven. This study is also routinely cited in the mainstream press on the autism/mercury topic as the "proof" of no connection. Here are the facts:



（2003年11月，一份报告出现在医学期刊儿科学上，标题为“含汞疫苗的安全性：是由Thomas Verstraeten所写的，健保组织数据库的双定向研究，此人曾是疾病控制中心的雇员。到研究发表的时候，他已是Glaxo SmithKline公司，一个疫苗厂商的雇员。就是这篇报告，形成了主流医学界称疫苗和孤独症之间联系被不成立的基础。关于汞和疫苗没有关联的研究被作为证据，照例被主流新闻媒体所引用，作为谈论的话题。下面是事实：）



1. The study itself was inconclusive. Nowhere in the study is it stated that there is "no link" between Thimerosal a n d neurodevelopmental issues. In fact, the study specifically states:



（1.研究本身没有结论。研究论文中到处都是硫柳汞和神经发育性问题没有关系。实际上，研究特别说明：）



"The biological plausibility of the small doses of ethylmercury present in vaccines leading to increased risks of neurodevlopmental diso rders is uncertain...Fo r elucidating further whether a causal association exists between thimerosal exposure a n d nuerodevelopmental conditions, additional studies with different designs will be needed."



（“疫苗中小剂量的乙基汞，导致患神经发育性疾病风险增大，这种生物学上的似真性是不确定的...为了进一步阐明，硫柳汞暴露和神经发育情况之间是否存在因果联系，还需要不同设计的另外的研究。”）



2. The study's autho r, Thomas Verstraeten, confirmed that the study was inconclusive. In a letter to Pediatrics five months after the publication of the study, he writes:



（2.论文作者，Thomas Verstraeten,证实研究没有得出结论。在论文发表5个月后，给儿科学会的信中，他写到：）



"I am the first autho r of a recent article on a study undertaken by the Centers fo r Disease Control a n d Prevention (CDC) to screen fo r a potential link between thimerosal-containing vaccines a n d neurodevelopmental delays. The article has been subject to heavy criticism from antivaccine lobbyists...Because I was responsible fo r nearly all aspects of this study, including study design, data gathering, data analysis, a n d writing of the article, I wish to give my opinion on these claims...Surprisingly, however, the study is being interpreted now as negative [where  'negative' implies no association was shown between Thimerosal a n d autism] by many, including the antivaccine lobbyists. The article does not state that we found evidence against an association, as a negative study would. It does state, on the contrary, that additional study is recommended, which is the conclusion to which a neutral study must come. Does a neutral outcome reduce the value of a study? It may make it less attractive to publishers a n d certainly to the press, but it in no way diminishes its scientific a n d public health merit. A neutral study carries a very distinct message: the investigato rs could neither confirm no r exclude an association, a n d therefo re mo re study is required."



（我是最近发表的、由疾病预防和控制中心承担项目的、研究论文的第一作者，它检查了含硫柳汞的疫苗和神经发育延迟之间潜在联系。这篇文章已经遭受了来自反对疫苗活动议案游说者的严重的批评...因为我要对该研究的几乎所有方面负责，包括研究设计，数据采集，数据分析，写论文，我希望表明我的观点...令人惊讶的是，该研究已经被许多人，包括反对疫苗活动议案游说者，解释成否定的[“否定”暗示在硫柳汞和孤独症之间没有关联]。这篇论文并没有像否定的研究那样，称我们已经找到证据反对关联说。相反，它建议做另外的研究，它的结论是：中立的研究是必须的。中立的成果会减少研究的价值吗？对于出版商和新闻媒体它可能不那么吸引人，但没有办法减少它的科学和公共卫生价值。一个中立的研究带来非常独特的信息：研究人员既不肯定，也不排斥它的关联，因此需要更多的研究。）



3. There is compelling evidence that initial analyses by the CDC found a pronounced, positive co rrelation between exposure to Thimerosal a n d a wide range of neurodevelopmental issues but that data was manipulated out of the study over time to produce a neutral, inconclusive result. Here is Dr. Mark Geier discussing the study:



（3.由CDC做的初始分析并没有引人注目的证据，来证实在硫柳汞和广泛发育性问题之间有明确的、正相关。但随着时间的过去，该报告的数据已经被窜改，来产生一个中立的、非结论性的结果。这里Mark Geier医生探讨该研究：）



"...this very study was the topic of secret-closed meetings between members of the CDC a n d other government o rganizations, as well as members of the vaccine manufacturers held at Simpsonwood, Geo rgia from 7-8 June 2000. The transcript of this meeting has been obtained under the Freedom of Info rmation Act. This transcript reveals that the study initially found statistically significant dose-response effects between increasing doses of mercury from thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines a n d various types of neurodevelopmental diso rders. The transcript documents that the data was real a n d statistically significant fo r many types of neurodevelopmental diso rders, but that the meeting participants expressed that the data had to be 'ha n dled.' Despite discussion about how to 'ha n dle' the data, some participants expressed concern that the wo rk that had already been done would be obtained by others through the Freedom of Info rmation Act. In this event, even if professional bodies expressed the opinion that there was no association between thimerosal a n d neurodevelopmental diso rders, it was already too late to do anything. In addition, other participants expressed that the vaccine manufacturers were in a ho rrible position to be able to defend any lawsuits alleging a relationship between thimerosal a n d neurodevelopmental diso rders, since no one would say with the available data that there was no relationship between thimerosal a n d neurodevelopmental diso rders."



（“这项特别的研究是CDC、其它政府组织、疫苗厂商成员之间，2000年6月7-8号在乔治亚州的Simpsonwood秘密召开会议的主题。会议的抄本在信息自由法案下已经获得。这个抄本揭示了，最初的研究发现了儿童时期的含硫柳汞的疫苗中汞的剂量不断增加，和特殊类型神经发育性疾病之间，具有统计学意义的剂量反应影响。抄本证明了数据是真实的，和对许多类型神经发育疾病的统计上意义，但会议参与者表示数据将不得不被“处理”，讨论如何“处理”的数据，一些参与者表示了，对已做工作会由他人通过自由信息法案获得的担心。在此次活动中，即使专业人士发表意见说硫柳汞与神经发育性疾病之间没有关联，再来做什么已经太迟了。另外，既然没人愿意说有用的资料，证明硫柳汞和神经发育性疾病之间没有关系，其他的参与者说疫苗厂商处于一种可怕的境地，要对任何称硫柳汞与神经发育性疾病有关的诉讼进行申辩。”

The transcript of Simpsonwood meeting, if read in its entirety, is surprising in its clarity on the Thimerosal-autism link a n d in the explicit planning by the participants over how to "ha n dle" the info rmation with the outside wo rld. One of the expert panelists, William Weil, MD, commented during Simpsonwood:

Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—15)（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）



Myth #18: Denmark, which removed Thimerosal from vaccines in the early 1990s, did a study proving there was no link between mercury in vaccines a n d autism.



(（荒诞的说法18：丹麦，早在1990年就消除了疫苗中的硫柳汞，做了一个研究证明疫苗中的汞与孤独症没有关系。）



This myth implies that the government of Denmark was responsible fo r a study of Thimerosal a n d autism, which is not accurate. In rapid succession, four studies from Denmark were released in four separate medical journals, all purpo rting to disprove the thimerosal-vaccine-autism connection. Specifically, The New Engla n d Journal of Medicine published in 2002, "A Population-based study of measles, mumps, a n d rubella vaccination a n d autism"; The American Journal of Preventative Medicine published in 2003, "Autism a n d thimerosal: lack of consistent evidence fo r an association"; Pediatrics published in 2003, "Thimerosal a n d the occurrence of autism: negative ecological evidence from Danish population-based data"; a n d, The Journal of the American Medical Association published in 2003, "Association between thimerosal-containing vaccine a n d autism."



（这个荒诞的说法，暗示丹麦政府对硫柳汞和孤独症的研究负责，但它是不正确的。以一种很快的演替，4个来自丹麦的研究报告分别发布在4家医学期刊上，全都称硫柳汞——疫苗——孤独症关联是是错误的。特别是，2002年出版的《新英格兰医学》期刊，“基于人口的麻疹—腮腺炎—风疹疫苗和孤独症的研究”；2003年出版的美国《预防医学》杂志，“孤独症和硫柳汞：两者关联说缺乏坚实的证据”；2003年出版的《儿科学》，“硫柳汞和孤独症的发生：来自丹麦的、基于人口数据的否定的生态学证据”；和，2003年出版的美国《医学协会》杂志，“含硫柳汞的疫苗和孤独症之间的关系”。）



Soon after the studies were published, Safe Minds revealed that most of the Danish researchers behind all four studies were employees of a Danish manufacturer of vaccines, Statens Serum Institut. None of the repo rts noted this conflict of interest. Mothering magazine repo rted on Safe Mind's response to one of the Danish studies (from the Journal of the American Medical Association):



（论文出版不久，Safe Minds揭露4个研究后面的研究人员大多数是丹麦一家疫苗厂商、Statens Serum Institut公司的雇员。没有一份报告指出这种利益冲突。《Mothering》杂志报道了Safe Mind对其中一个丹麦研究的回应。（来自美国医学协会的杂志））



"Safe Minds released an analysis of the autism registry data from Denmark that showed the rate of autism dropped sharply after removal of thimerosal from infant vaccines in that country in 1992. Their findings showed the rate of autism declined from an incidence of 1 in 500 prio r to 1992 to 1 in 1,500 today. The analysis also uncovered a flaw in the methodology of Danish investigato rs publishing in the October issue of JAMA (Hviid et al), who utilized the same Danish registry data a n d concluded that autism rates in Denmark rose after thimerosal removal from vaccines. "In our review of the Danish data we identified a flaw which resulted in a substantial loss of autism case reco rds from the registry which essentially renders the findings from the JAMA study by Hviid a n d colleagues invalid", said Sallie Bernard, executive directo r of Safe Minds. "The registry allows 10-25% of diagnosed autism cases to be lost from its reco rds each year. The effect [cumulative] of this loss is such that the reco rds will disappear from older age groups to a much greater degree than from younger age groups in any given registry year."



（Safe Minds发布了丹麦孤独症登记数据的分析，证明了该国在1992年后消除了婴儿疫苗中的硫柳汞之后，孤独症的发病率急剧下降。他们的研究成果，证明孤独症的发病率，从以前1992年前的1/500，下降到今天的1/1500。这个分析也揭露了丹麦研究人员方法学的缺陷，发表在11月的《issue of JAMA》上，利用相同的丹麦登记数据，Hviid得出在丹麦消除了疫苗中的硫柳汞之后，孤独症发病率上升了的结论。“在我们对丹麦数据的评论中，确定有一个缺陷，它导致来自登记处孤独症病例记录的真正失败，登记处本质上赞同由Hviid所做的JAMA研究的结果”，Safe Minds得执行理事、Sallie Bernard说。“登记处允许每年10-25%的孤独症诊断病例从它的记录里丢失。在任何设定的登记年份，丢失的累计结果，使年龄较大组的记录比从年龄教小组的记录消失的更多。”）



The Hviid findings are based on finding fewer older children diagnosed with autism than younger ones in the 2000 medical egistry. Since the older children received Thimerosal vaccines a n d the younger ones did not, Hviid falsely concluded that Thimerosal must not be a facto r in autism. The Safe Minds analysis shows instead that the "higher" incidence of autism in younger children is likely due to the loss of reco rds of older children, rather than a true "increase" in autism rates in the younger group.



（Hviid调查结果基于2000年医学登记上，年龄较大的确诊孤独症儿童比年龄较小的孤独症儿童数量少。既然年龄较大的孤独症儿童接种含硫柳汞的疫苗，而年龄较小的孤独症儿童没有接种，Hviid错误的得出结论，硫柳汞不是孤独症的病因。Safe Minds的分析表明，年龄较小儿童的孤独症“更高”的发病率，很可能是因为年龄较大儿童的记录丢失，而不是年龄较小组的孤独症发病率真正“增加”。



Safe Minds reanalyzed the Denmark registry data a n d used an alternative method to avoid the reco rd removal bias. The analysis looked at same-age children - 5-9 year olds - but from different registry years: 1992, when all of the children received Thimerosal-containing vaccines, a n d 2002, when none of the children received vaccines with Thimerosal. The analysis found a 2.3x higher incidence of autism cases among the 1992 Thimerosal-exposed group relative to the 2002 non-exposed group.



（Safe Minds重新分析了丹麦的登记数据，用一种交替的方法来避免记录移失的偏差。这个分析着眼于相同年龄儿童5-9岁、但不同登记年份1992年，那时所有的儿童都接受含汞疫苗的接种，和2002年，没有儿童接种含汞疫苗。这个分析发现在1992年暴露于硫柳汞组的孤独症病例相对于2002年非暴露组，它的发病率高于2.3倍。）



The analysis then determined an autism incidence rate fo r the non-Thimerosal group of 1 in 1,500, while the Thimerosal-exposed group had an incidence of 1 in 500, a 3-fold increase. The higher figure is comparable to the 1 in 500 incidence level fo r autism in Engla n d a n d the 1 in 150 incidence level in the US. The Thimerosal exposure level a n d timing in pre-1992 Denmark was comparable to that in Engla n d, while that fo r the US was somewhat mo re aggressive. As Lyn Redwood, president of Safe Minds comments:



（分析确定非硫柳汞组的孤独症发病率为1/1500，而含汞孤独症发病率为为1/500，3倍于前者。与1/500得英国孤独症发病率，和1/150的美国孤独症发病率水平比较会得出更高的数字。与英国、美国比较1992年前丹麦的硫柳汞的暴露水平更具有侵略性。 Safe Minds总裁，Lyn Redwood，说：）



"In the Hviid study in JAMA we can clearly see how the data was misinterpreted so a conclusion could be drawn to clear thimerosal from any role in autism. This misinterpretation is not surprising given the autho rs' employment with the manufacturer a n d promoter of vaccines in Denmark, Statens Serum Institut. This conflict of interest should have been stated by JAMA...Safe Minds is calling fo r a complete analysis of the Denmark autism registry data set by independent, unbiased epidemiologists who have no involvement in vaccine development, production, promotion, o r administration."



（“JAMA的Hviid研究里，我们可以清楚的看到数据如何被曲解，结论就被提取来消除硫柳汞在孤独症中所起的作用。由于疫苗的制造者和赞助者，Statens Serum Institut公司对作者的雇佣，曲解并不令人惊奇。JAMA本应该说明这种利益冲突...Safe Minds提倡由一个独立的、没有偏见的流行病学家，他没有卷入疫苗开发、生产、宣传和管理，做一个丹麦孤独症登记数据的完整分析。”）

Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—17)（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）



Myth #19: The IOM did a study a n d proved there was no link between mercury in vaccines a n d autism.



(（荒诞的说法19：医学协会做了一个研究，证明疫苗中的汞与孤独症之间没有关联。）



In May 2004, the Institute of Medicine released a 216-page repo rt titled Immunization Safety Review: Vaccines a n d Autism a n d concluded that there did not appear to be a causal link between Thimerosal a n d the autism epidemic. This study was paid fo r by the CDC, a conflict in of itself, a n d there is growing evidence that the conclusion was pre-o rdained befo re any research was done. Regarding the potential link between mercury a n d autism, Dr. Marie McCo rmick, Committee Chair of the IOM study, in a recently released transcript, stated (befo re any research had been done), "We are not ever going to come down that it is a true side effect." Much of the IOM's conclusion was based on the afo rementioned CDC a n d Danish studies - there was no primary research done. This lack of new, primary research is a critical point: the IOM's conclusion was largely based on the studies discussed in Myths 17 & 18 above that are controversial flawed.



（2004年5月，医学学会发表了一份216页、标题为免疫安全回顾：疫苗和孤独症的报告，得出结论：在硫柳汞和孤独症流行之间似乎并没有因果关联。这个研究是由CDC支付报酬，本身自相矛盾，不断有证据证明：在研究开始之前，结论已预先规定。关于汞和孤独症的潜在联系，医学学会研究委员会的教授、Marie McCo rmick博士，最近发表了一个抄本，说（在研究开始之前），“因为它真实的副作用，我们不能将它传下去。”很多医学学会的结论基于上述CDC和丹麦的研究——并没有做初步的研究。缺乏新的、初级的研究是一个临界点：医学协会的结论主要基于上述已被探讨过的荒诞的说法17&18，它们是有争议的、有缺陷的。）



Soon after the repo rt's release, Congressmen Burton a n d Weldon a n d Congresswoman Watson held a joint press conference. An excerpt from othering magazine on the press conference:



（不久之后报告发表，)国会议员Burton、Weldon和Watson举行了一个共同的记者招待会。《Mothering》杂志关于记者招待会的引用：）



"Unfo rtunately, I believe the findings announced in the May 18th IOM repo rt are heavily biased, a n d unrepresentative of all the available scientific a n d medical research," stated Chairman Burton. "I think it is highly irresponsible fo r the IOM Immunization Safety Review Committee to purpo rt definitive findings to the American public, which are based on selective scientific studies that are greatly flawed to begin with."



（“不幸地，我认为5月份发表在第18期医学学会报告上的结论，是对所有科学、医学研究的严重的偏离、不具有代表性，”会议主席Burton说。“我认为医学学会免疫安全评审委员会，对美国公众声称的权威的研究成果，是非常不负责任的。它基于有选择的科学研究，从一开始就有严重的缺陷。）



The recently released IOM repo rt is the eighth a n d final in a series designed to examine the safety of vaccines that contain the mercury-based preservative, Thimerosal. In their latest repo rt, the IOM Committee concludes, "The body of epidemiological evidence favo rs the rejection of a causal relationship between thimerosal-containing vaccines a n d autism." This statement represents a significant change from the Committee's finding in their 2001 repo rt, which called such a causal relationship, "biologically plausible." The Committee based its final conclusions on their review of approximately 10 previously conducted epidemiological studies. Of those roughly 10 studies, 5 repo rted probable links between thimerosal-containing vaccines a n d autism, yet those 5 were summarily dismissed because the Committee determined the manner in which they were conducted was flawed."



（最近发表的医学学会的报告是第8次，也是最后一次系列设计，审查以硫柳汞做防腐剂的疫苗的安全性。在他们最近的报告中，医学学会委员会得出结论，“免疫学证据主体，赞同排斥含硫柳汞的疫苗和孤独症之间的因果关系。”与2001年委员会报告的研究结果相比，这番声明体现一个重要的变化，它称这样一个因果关系为“生物学上似乎可信。”委员会基于它以前所进行的大约10次免疫学研究，得出最终的结论。10次研究的概略，5篇报告含硫柳汞的疫苗与孤独症之间很可能有关联，然而这5次研究被草率摒弃，因为委员会确定它们被研究的方式是有缺陷的。）

Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—18)（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）



Myth #20: Our health autho rities would never let this happen - it's impossible that so many responsible fo r the welfare of our kids would allow an entire generation of children to be poisoned with mercury.



(荒诞的说法20：我们的健康权威不会让这样的事情发生——这是不可能的，那么多的人要对我们孩子的幸福负责，他们不会允许整整一代孩子遭受汞中毒。）



It is very hard to believe that so many docto rs a n d health autho rities, most of whom truly have the welfare of our children in their hearts, would allow this to happen. Some of the reasons, unfo rtunately, that this is a myth include:



（很难相信那么多的医生和健康权威，他们心里会真正把我们孩子的幸福装在他们心里，从而不允许这种事情发生。一些原因，很不幸，是荒诞的说法，包括：）



- Docto rs are not trained in toxicology in medical school. Therefo re, very few people who monito r the vaccine program a n d monito r neurological developmental issues in children know what the signs of mercury poisoning look like, how to test fo r it, o r what to do about it.



（-医生在医学院并未接受毒理学的训练。因此，只有非常少的人，他监控疫苗的计划，监控孩子们的神经发育问题，知道汞中毒的症状是什么样的？如何来检测它？如何来治疗它？）

- Mercury has a slow onset that can take years to fully manifest. Therefo re, the decision in 1991/92 to change the vaccine schedule did not start to show up in the autism figures until 1995/1996, creating confusion a n d uncertainty.



（-汞发作较慢，要花几年时间才能完全表现出来。因此，1991/1992改变疫苗接种程序表的决定,并没有马上露出孤独症的证据，直到1995/1996,因而产生了混乱和不确定性。）



- By the time the epidemic was in full stride, those in positions of power seem to have suffered from denial, self-protection, a n d self-interest. Unfo rtunately, these traits have been exhibited throughout American histo ry. Think asbestos, lead, alar, a n d Vioxx, to name only a few.



（-到孤独症开始大踏步流行时为止，那些在重要位置的人开始否认、自我保护、为自己私利打算。不幸地是，这些特点已经通过美国历史展示出来。想想石棉、铅、alar和Vioxx。）



From our own Congressional Subcommittee on Human Rights a n d Wellness:



（来自我们自己的国会人权小组委员会：）



"Thimerosal used as a preservative in vaccines is likely related to the autism epidemic. This epidemic in all probability may have been prevented o r curtailed had the FDA not been asleep at the switch regarding injected thimerosal a n d the sharp rise of infant exposure to this known neurotoxin. Our public health agencies' failure to act is indicative of institutional malfeasance fo r self-protection a n d misplaced protectionism of the pharmaceutical industry."



（“用做疫苗防腐剂的硫柳汞很可能与孤独症的流行相关。这种流行本来能被预防或减少，关于注射硫柳汞，美国食品及药品管理局玩忽职守，使暴露于这种知名神经毒素的婴儿激增。我们的公共卫生机构，由于自我保护，和对制药工业放错地方的保护主义，造成制度上的渎职，疏于指导。”）

Myth #21: The best treatment fo r Autism, a n d the only proven treatment, is behavio ral therapy - specifically ABA o r Applied Behavio r Analysis. There appears to be clinical evidence that ABA therapy improves autistic symptoms in some autistic children. In general, the use of many fo rms of behavio ral therapy fo r autism leads to improvement. However, to represent that ABA is the only fo rm of treatment fo r autism is untrue. There are hundreds of children who have recovered from autism through biomedical treatment a n d that number is growing everyday.



（荒诞的说法21：孤独症最好的治疗，唯一被证明的治疗，是行为疗法——特别是ABA或应用行为分析。

似乎有临床证据，ABA疗法改善了某些孤独症患儿的孤独症状。通常，孤独症的各种形式的行为疗法导致改善。然而，认为ABA是唯一一种孤独症的治疗方法，是不正确的。有许多孤独症儿童，通过生物医学治疗而恢复，并且这个数字每天还在不断增加。）

Mercury Poisoning: 25 Mercury Myths (19—19)（汞中毒：25个汞的荒诞的说法）



Myth #22: Autism is a psychological diso rder a n d a psychologist should provide treatment. Autism is an issue of toxicology. A physician who understa n ds toxic metals in terms of testing, symptoms, a n d removal is critical to treating autism effectively.



（荒诞的说法22：孤独症是一种心理疾病，心理学家应该提供治疗。

孤独症是一种毒理学问题。一个懂得检测、症状、清除有毒金属的医生，被认为能有效治疗孤独症。）



Myth #23: Chelation therapy is unsafe, unproven medicine. It is something only desperate parents would consider doing, a n d has mo re risks than benefits. Chelation therapy is a safe, effective way to remove toxic metals from the body. It has been used fo r decades to treat acute metals poisoning a n d mo re recently, to treat degenerative diseases such as chronic fatigue, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's, cancer, a n d heart disease. When monito red by a physician, potential side affects such as mineral depletion a n d impacted liver function can be monito red a n d remedied. On the other ha n d, the risks of maintaining acute mercury toxicity in the body - progressive neuro a n d other degenerative disease - as well as poo r quality of life fo r the severely toxic are significant. Below is the coverage position on chelation therapy from CIGNA, one of the country's largest insurance ompanies:



（荒诞的说法23：螯和疗法是不安全的，未被证实的医学。绝望的父母才考虑这么做，和好处相比，它的风险更大。

螯和疗法是安全的、有效的方法，来清除体内的有毒重金属。它被用来治疗急性金属中毒有好几十年了。最近更被用来治疗退化疾病如慢性疲劳、风湿性关节炎、Alzheimer、癌症、心脏病。当医生监控时，潜在的副作用，像矿物质缺失，对肝功能的影响，都可以被监控和治疗。另一方面，维持急性汞中毒的风险很大，——渐进性的神经和其它变性疾病——可怜的生命质量。下面是螯和疗法的适用范围，来自CIGNA，国家最大的保险公司：）



"CIGNA Healthcare considers chelation therapy medically necessary in the following conditions: arsenic, mercury, iron, copper o r gold poisoning when long-term exposure to a n d toxicity has been confirmed through lab results (i.e., blood, plasma, a n d/o r urine results) o r clinical findings (i.e., symptoms consistent with metal toxicity)."



（“CIGNA保健认为螯和疗法，可用来治疗下列疾病：砷、汞、铁、铜、黄金中毒，当长期暴露，并且毒性已经被实验室的结果证实（举例来说，血液、血浆、尿的结果）或临床所见（举例来说，与金属中毒症状一致。”）



Myth #24: Mercury may be one of the causes of autism. It doesn't really matter what the cause - once you have autism, you have autism fo r life. We often say a child "has autism" implying it is something someone "acquires" o r "catches" o r "is bo rn with". Autism is not a disease. Autism is simply a label fo r a range of observed behavio rs. There is no medical test fo r autism. These behavio rs are typically assessed by a psychologist using the DSM-IV criteria which identifies 12 groups of abno rmal behavio rs. A child exhibiting any 6 of these behavio rs results in a diagnosis of autism. This diagnostic process means that two children exhibiting the opposite six criteria could both be considered autistic. It is also entirely plausible that a single child diagnosed separately by five psychologists could receive five separate diagnoses like autism, Asperger's, ADHD, PDD-NOS, a n d a developmental delay. In sum, it is an imperfect a n d subjective process that rests on a description of symptoms, not cause.



（荒诞的说法24：汞是孤独症的原因之一。它并不是真正的原因——一旦你有孤独症，孤独症就会伴随终身。

我们常说一个孩子“有孤独症”意味它是一种一个人“获得”、“感染”、“天生”的疾病。孤独症不是一种疾病，它仅仅是一系列被观察到的行为的标签。没有孤独症的医学测试。典型地这些行为会被一个心理学家，用DSM-IV标准，它确定12组不正常行为，所评估。一个孩子只要有这些行为中的任意6种，就会被诊断为孤独症。诊断过程意味着2个孩子展示6个相反的标准，都会被认为是孤独症。它也是完全似是而非的，同一个孩子分别由5个心理学家诊断，可能会得到5种不同的诊断结果如孤独症、亚斯伯格、ADHD,PDD-NOS,和发育延迟。总的说来，它是有缺点的、主观的过程，依靠症状的描述而不是原因。）



That many autistic children seem to share physiological manifestations like food allergies, gastrointestinal distress, suppressed immune systems, recurrent ear infections, yeast overgrowth o r ca n dida, gross a n d fine moto r delays, senso ry processing disto rtions, sleep disturbances, a n d impaired detoxification pathways has not been publicized o r considered by the majo rity of professionals involved with diagnosing autism. You almost never read about these common physical symptoms when researching autism. Autism a n d mercury poisoning have identical symptom profiles, both physical a n d behavio ral. They are one in the same thing.



（许多孤独症的孩子，似乎也同时享有生理表现，像食物过敏、肠胃疾病，免疫系统抑制、反复的耳朵感染、酵母菌过量增殖、假丝酵母，粗大动作或精细动作延迟，感觉过程异常、睡眠障碍、解毒通道削弱，这些并未被参与诊断孤独症的多数医生公布或思考过。当研究孤独症的时候，你几乎从未看懂这些共同的身体症状。孤独症和汞中毒有相同的症状轮廓，既有身体的也有行为的。他们是同一件事。）



The current paradigm fo r thinking about these mercury-poisoned children is broken a n d unhelpful. "Autism" will always be a mystery without a cure. When you begin to think of autism as a misdiagnosis fo r a mercury-poisoned state, things start to make mo re sense. All of the physical symptoms a n d behavio rs are explained by the presence of mercury. When you know the cause, you can focus on cure. Curing autism is a miracle; curing mercury poisoning is a medical

procedure.



（考虑这些汞中毒的孩子是患病的、无助的是当前的范例。“孤独症”将总是一种没有治愈的神秘事物。

当你一开始就认为，孤独症是一种汞中毒状态的错误诊断，事情开始变的更有意义。所有的身体症状和行为，都可以用汞的出现来解释。当你知道了原因，你就可以将精力集中在治疗上面。治愈孤独症是一个奇迹；治愈汞中毒是一个医学步骤。）



Myth #25: Autism, Asperger's, ADHD, a n d ADDAll of these behavio ral diagnoses are mythical: they simply do not exist. Each one simply places a child somewhere along the "spectrum" of mercury poisoning.



（荒诞的说法25：孤独症，亚斯伯格，ADHD,所有这些行为的诊断都是神秘的：它们简直地不存在。沿着汞中毒的“谱系”在某处简单地放置一个孩子。）

zhtj212,

  辛苦了. 我的一点经验是意译为主, 直译为辅. 因为这个翻译和文学翻译不同, 是要叫大家了解意思. 我有时候还改变说法, 为的是避免读者可能的误解. 比如"许多保健组织，医生和科学家承认没有汞的安全标准"就比较费解, 让人以为还没有制定这样的标准. 而其真正意思是, 任何含量的汞都是有害的. 共勉

感谢zhtj212!

仰望山林

衷心地感谢zhtj212,辛苦了!两个月前我给Helen写了一封信,前两天她终于给我回了,Helen在信中说"他们说有一个治疗，排汞的，但是他们说非常复杂，一定要在专业医生的指导下作，这对78%的孩子有了一些影响（不是治好，但是有进步）。

我要跟他们联系，看看国外的家庭怎么办，但是我还没有找到他们的联系方式，我会继续找，好吗？"上面是她的原话,可以看出部分孩子经过驱汞治疗是积极有效的,我还会要求她在时间允许的情况下帮我们多翻译一些这方面的文章,最近香港高医生会来内地,如果想给自己孩子尝试进行这方面治疗的家长尽快可威威妈妈,zhtj212或者和我联系都可以,感谢以琳给我们提供的平台!

zhtj212

首先声明我不是医生、甚至所学专业与医学、生物、化学不沾边。我英文也不是太好，全凭对孩子的爱、一种责任感和翻译软件的帮忙才翻译成这样，已经是赶鸭子上架了。



我非常希望有相关专业人士来为大家做出更准确的翻译。但现在没人做，所以我也就充个数。但基本意思的翻译是没问题的，个别地方因为水平加时间匆忙可能会有问题，这我早已经料到了，所以才把原文附在上面，希望大家批评指正。



希望aridus等英文好的家长能帮我修改修改，我可以把翻译稿给你们发过去。谢谢！



做这一切都是义务的，欢迎大家下载、流传！

从抚养儿子的经历中我感悟到，人生的最大善良就是能无怨无悔地去给予和关怀！面对孤独儿子已经及还会遇到的人生坎坷，我痛苦的内心常在嘶喊：我拿什么来拯救你，我的小孩！我坚信，上帝总会伸出慈爱的手为苦难儿拔开心中的迷雾，我会用坚忍不拔来感动上帝的。
