Thimerosal in Vaccines

Many Studies Have Found Thimerosal In Vaccines To Be Safe

January 12, 2010

Thimerosal is a very effective preservative that has been used since the 1930s to prevent contamination in a number of products including some multi-dose vials of vaccines.

Data from 19 studies show no convincing evidence of harm caused by the low doses of thimerosal in vaccines, except for minor local injection site reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site.

Testimonials

It helps so much with arthritis....

 "The joy is seeing other people becoming more active and feeling better. It's just wonderful. That is the reward of this program.

I find it helps so much with arthritis or any disabilities.  I can tell the difference. Others see how active I am, at the age of 90+, and they say, 'I want to be like you' and I say, 'Well, get up and MOVE! '"  Mildred, Woodland Park, CO
