As you know I rarely talk about the same thing on this blog, but a subject I do mention fairly regularly are the toxins in our environment.
I probably wouldn’t have considered them but for the fact my son has autism, due I believe, to mercury in vaccines, and also because of the mercury poisoning I developed from the amalgam in my dental fillings.
That’s what my three TRUE story books are about.
Anyway, today I was talking to Pam, one of the case studies in my last book.
Her husband had almost died because of mercury, and his story and her persistence are the reasons both my second and third books were written.
I owe her more than a debt of gratitude…quite possibly my life, at least the one I currently enjoy.
I asked how Bryan was, and she told me he was getting on well now they’d stopped having their favourite Sunday paper.
Mercury poisoning leaves you very susceptible to all sorts of things, and it appears when the Mail On Sunday changed their ink so the print wouldn’t come off on readers hands, Bryan suddenly became incredibly ill.
Every Sunday, he would feel sick, become agitated, argumentative, tired, lethargic and dizzy. His symptoms increased as the day wore on, but the rest of the week he’d be fine.
The connection between the newspaper print and Bryan’s symptoms was only made when Pam chatted to Lynn, another fellow sufferer, whose story is also in my book.
She revealed she’d experienced exactly the same thing.
It’s the chemicals.
Both Pam and Lynn have reluctantly become experts on mercury poisoning over the years, and Pam often alert s me to news items she feels the wider public ought to be made aware of.
Today was no exception, and was partly due to her recent conversation with Lynn.
You see, whilst Pam was in the doctor’s surgery recently, she’d picked up an old issue of Top Sante. It’s a magazine for the body and health conscious woman, and she’d read an article on the Flu vaccine.
You might not be aware, but most flu vaccines contain mercury in the form of thimerosal. This is not an integral component, but is added to many vaccines to prevent bacterial contamination.
Thimerosal is 49.6% ethyl-mercury and there has been such concern about this mercury based derivative, it’s now thankfully been removed from many childhood vaccines, supposedly to, “make safe vaccines safer” .
Question:- If they were safe in the first place , how could they be made safer?
Anyway, the article in Top Sante queried whether the flu jab was safe for pregnant women?
The reply from Dr. Kate Sassin was – “The Department of Health advises it is safe for pregnant women to have the flu jab, but states they should try to have the thimerosal free (mercury free) version of the vaccine wherever possible”.
Hmm – does that sound as if the Department of Health actually believe the thimerosal version is safe to you?
Anyway, the reason she passed on this snippet of information to me was because Lynn had mentioned her pregnant friend had just had the flu jab and had tragically miscarried a week later.
Of course that could have been complete coincidence, but it’s worth considering if you know anyone who is pregnant and considering getting a flu vaccine.
Remember, you can get thimerosal free ones but I suspect you’ll have to ask for one.
You see the big pharmaceutical companies produce the vaccines in huge quantities and are pretty inflexible on returns apparently. I imagine, therefore, if your doctor’s surgery has already got a pile of flu vaccines in stock containing thimerosal, they’ll most likely want to use them.
Personally, I’d never have one and you can see why on my site here.
Another topic I discuss sometimes are the toxic synthetic chemicals in most skin and beauty care products and you can Get A Copy Of My Report here, but just to prove I’m not the only person aware of the situation, you might want to watch this video.
If nothing else, it should make you think.

I want to quote your post in my blog. It can?
And you et an account on Twitter?
Hi Jean
I certainly relate to this post. My daughter suffers from ME and also chemical sensitivity.
I am an Aromatherapist and I researched into commercial cosmetics etc., and I was astounded to find out what they put in them, many of the ingredients are carcogenetic – why would you put them on your skin to be absorbed into your bloodstream. I make my own products using completely natural ingredients.
I loved your blog some very interesting information and I will certainly be back.

Hi Barbara,
Sorry to hear about your daughter. Hope she feels better soon.
Unfortunately, ME and chemical sensitivity are common problems these days, as are allergies and asthma.
People just don’t realise your skin absorbs 60% of whatever you put on it and MOST over the counter products are nothing more than synthetic toxic chemicals. If you can’t get rid of the chemicals eventually your body gets overloaded and undesirable health symptoms appear.
So pleased to hear you’re making your own products using “natural” ingredients and not those so called “natural” ones, which are actually made in a lab!
Best wishes,
Jean
Barbara,
I’m sorry to hear about your daughter. I also believe the mercury in the vaccinations is behind a lot of the autism. I recommend prayer, I have seen God heal autistic people. You could do a search along those lines.

Hi Jean,
Unfortunately most people are unaware of the toxins that surround us in our daily life. It’s truly frightening once you start to educate yourself.
I switched over to naturally based products from Melaleuca late last year. They are non-toxic, plant based and work better than other brands.
My husband still cringes when I use the disinfectant on the kitchen counters till I remind him that I could drink the stuff and still be safe.
More and more companies seem to be spring up that take the toxin free approach, and that’s a good thing!
Lesley
Too true – it is frightening. Trouble is most people think there’s nothing they can do about toxins anyway, or that it’s too late for them.
I also use non- toxic products and couldn’t imagine life without them. I just cringe when I see the synthetic chemicals used in most other products in the market place and how oblivious most people are to them.
Take care
Jean
Menopause occurs when a women stops ovulating and her period ceases. Most women reach menopause between 45 and 55 years, with an average age of about 50. However, about 1% reaches it just before the age of 40, known as premature menopause or premature ovarian failure.The most apparent changes recorded are in connection with menstrual cycle changes, changes in the bleeding pattern, hot flashes, sweating and urinary issues, including, incontinence or increased frequency of urination. Dry vagina, mood changes, muscular weakness, joint pains and weight changes are all symptoms of menopause and can cause a great deal of pain along with general feelings of discomfort in different parts of the body.
Oooh, you’re such an inspiration. I love this blog!
Not sure this has ANYTHING to do with the post you’re commenting on but it is true so just incase anyone wants to know what the menopause is about – thanks!
Jean
I am speechless. This is often a exceptional website and very participating as well. Excellent works of art! Which is no longer in fact a lot originating from a great novice author at all like me, nonetheless to make sure I may simply point out after diving to your articles. Good sentence structure as well as terminology. No longer such as other blogs. A person in reality know very well what you?lso are discussing as well. Such a lot that you simply helped me want to discover a lot more. Your website has turned into a stepping-stone for me, my friend.
