Thimerosal, which contains the organic compound ethyl mercury, is a known neurotoxin and used to be a major ingredient in childhood vaccines. There are over 15,000 articles in the medical literature describing the adverse health effects on the human body with exposure to varying amounts and forms of mercury.

In order to use vaccinations wisely, we need to understand exactly how they work. Until recently, the mechanism of action of vaccinations was always understood to be simply that they cause an increase in antibody levels (titers) against a specific disease antigen (bacterium or virus), thus preventing infection with that bacterial or viral antigen. In recent years science has learned that the human immune system is much more complicated than we thought. It is composed of two functional branches or compartments that may work together in a mutually cooperative way or in a mutually antagonistic way depending on the health of the individual.

Dear Representative Van Vyven:

I have been asked by Kristine M. Severyn for testimony regarding hepatitis B vaccination. Dr. Severyn is doing excellent work on behalf of the children of Ohio and of our nation and I am honored to add my voice to hers in a plea for reason and objectivity regarding vaccination policy in the U.S.

MM: How and when did your medical career begin?

SC: I'm a board-certified family physician and started my practice in 1986. Dr. Amy Holmes and I have an integrated medicine practice in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which just means that we integrate everything that the patients need, hopefully in a nontoxic manner. I went to medical school when I was 36. At the time, I had a ten-year-old son with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). I've always worked toward a practice where I could integrate metabolic medicine-nutritional therapy and normalizing biochemistry-because it works so well. And I keep telling people you can't help but get better if your chemistry becomes more normal.
