MR. CHAIRMAN, MADAME VICE CHAIR, AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD:

Please take the time to read the attached medical article of mine, in
collaboration with others (see attachments).

The issue of mercury as a cause of autism is a very serious one, and one
which is regrettable "swept-under-the-rug" in American newspapers and in the
minds of American physicians, perhaps to the delight of the manufacturers
thereof.

I assure that it is not being similarly ignored in most of the nations of
Europe.

This is nonetheless a growing and staggering problem for children in the
United States, which you must deal with honestly and directly as soon as you
can, as early as your next meeting!

There is no reason whatsoever that mercury is added, other than its
quasi-antibiotic effect, which is horribly outweighed by its enormous and
obvious neurotoxic and neurodegenerative effects.

There are many other antibiotic preservatives/additives for vaccines
which are readily available.

Combined with the assault on children's nervous systems and developing brain
from a host of other vectors,
many of which began in the prenatal development of the child,
especially if the mother used or uses aspartame, another neurotoxin,
in conjunction with the ever present brain tumor causing agent,
diketopiperazine, alcohol, excessive caffeine, et.alia.,
the children in many nations, particularly yours,
are facing very serious and unprecedented
neurological damage at a very early age.

There can be no other major nor more significant factor in all of this than
mercury/Thimerosal in vaccines.

I heartily support this petition and any and all efforts you can make to
bring this to an end in New Mexico, for both Aspartame and Thimerosal.

No matter whether the FDA has approved both of these neurotoxins, or not,
I am sure that you recognize that you have a much higher legal obligation to
protect the citizens of New Mexico, their health, and especially that of the
children of New Mexico.

If no one else is going to protect them, who is going to?

Clearly the FDA and the manufacturers are not going to, haven't done so,
and will never do so.

The mythology of FDA preemption is a ruinous one,
which is so reprehensible, that it is indeed obviously crumbling,
in federal courts, in federal liability judgments, and in the minds of
almost all thinking Americans.

The flaws in the FDA procedures are so serious and so rampant that they
cannot be repaired,
not by your congressman or senator,
and not by any decision in both Houses of your Legislative Branches,
which I believe to be impossible.

I am certain that the efforts must concentrate and originate at the state
levels,
and I strongly encourage you to move forward with this ban:
not just another academician''s polite warning,
not labeling, not informed consent,
but a total cease and desist on these two egregious neurotoxic scourges of
modern health,
mercury in vaccines, and the artificial sweetener, aspartame,
found presently in hundreds of children's vitamins and medications,
two of the most egregious neurotoxins faced by modern man.

The manufacturers will clearly object
(they may even be shocked into rapid compliance in advance),
but their objections will ring hollow and be obviously false to you,
when you have mastered the real truth a priori.

I wish you the very best in your deliberations.

If I can be of further assistance, please let me know at your earliest
convenience.

Sincerely, Joachim Mutter, M.D.

Abstract

The causes of autism and neurodevelopmental disorders are unknown. Genetic
and environmental risk factors seem to be involved.
Because of an observed increase in autism in the last decades,
which parallels cumulative mercury exposure,
it was proposed that autism may be in part caused by mercury.
We review the evidence for this proposal.
Several epidemiological studies failed to find a correlation between mercury
exposure through thimerosal,
a preservative used in vaccines,
and the risk of autism.
Recently, it was found that autistic children had a higher mercury exposure
during pregnancy due to maternal dental amalgam and
thimerosal-containing immunoglobulin shots.
It was hypothesized that children with autism have a decreased
detoxification capacity due to genetic polymorphism.
In vitro, mercury and thimerosal in levels found several days after
vaccination
inhibit methionine synthetase (MS) by 50%.
Normal function of MS is crucial in biochemical steps necessary for brain
development, attention and production of glutathione,
an important antioxidative and detoxifying agent.
Repetitive doses of thimerosal leads to neurobehavioral deteriorations in
autoimmune susceptible mice,
increased oxidative stress and decreased intracellular levels of glutathione
in vitro.
Subsequently, autistic children have significantly decreased level of
reduced glutathione.
Promising treatments of autism involve detoxification of mercury,
and supplementation of deficient metabolites.

ASD autism spectrum disorders

Introduction

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD),
first described in 1943 in eleven children born in the 1930s,
have increased worldwide [1,2,3,4].

All forms of mercury are neurotoxic,
especially during brain development [5,6].

Thus, some authors assume that the increase of autism might be

page 432

caused by the worldwide increase of mercury exposure through fish and
industrial sources,
amalgam [7] and
additionally, through increased parenteral exposure to
ethylmercurithiosalicate (thimerosal),
first introduced by Eli Lilly 1931 as a preservative in vaccinations
[1,2,8].

Especially, in the U.S.,
the prevalence of autism became endemic with an increase of about
5 in 10,000 to 60 in 10,000 after three additional thimerosal-containing
vaccines were introduced for newborns in the early 1990s,
whereas in most other countries with a much
lower autism prevalence, like Germany or Denmark,
thimerosal in vaccines was reduced at the same time.

In California,
the autism rate increased by 634% between 1987 and 2002,
which cannot be attributed to shifts in
the interpretation of diagnostic criteria,
migration
or improved diagnostic accuracies [3,4,9].

Other developmental and behavioural disorders
like attention deficit disorders (ADD)
or attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD)
have also increased up to 1 out of every 6 children in the U.S. [10,11].

It should be noted that in the 1990s,
newborns until age of 6 months were regularly exposed
to a cumulative thimerosal dose of 187.5 ?g [12].

This situation seems to resemble the epidemy of Acrodynia in the last
century, which affected up to 1 of 500 infants in some industrial countries.
After removing a frequently used teething powder, which contained
mercury as calomel (Hg2Cl2), acrodynia disappeared.

Interestingly, calomel is one of the less toxic forms of mercury when given
orally
and mercury chlorid (HgCl), a more toxic form of inorganic mercury,
is about 100-fold less toxic than ethyl mercury to neurones in vitro [13].

Beside exposure to teething powders,
it was reported in 1953 that immunisations with thimerosal containing
vaccines preceded the onset of acrodynia in several cases [14].

It was not until 1999 that an elimination of thimerosal in vaccines
was recommended by the U.S. Public Health Service
and the American Academy of Paediatrics.

Despite the recommendation, the CDC recommends
thimerosal-containing flu vaccines and tetanus boosters
and even the WHO promotes the use of thimerosal in
vaccinations in border- or undeveloped countries [15].

It is of public interest to ask, why thimerosal and dental amalgam,
which both consists of about 50% of the most toxic nonradioactive element
[16] and, in the case of amalgam, additionally of other heavy metals (eg.
tin, copper, silver, zinc), have been used since 70 and 170 years,
respectively, and, have been allowed to bypass toxicological testing.

It must be noted that until today no controlled, randomized study regarding
the safety of amalgam or thimerosal exists.

Such a future study should consider mercury exposure through pregnancy and
vaccinations,
because these exposures seem to be crucial
in the pathogenesis of autism [17,18].

Furthermore, there is no single study, which compares the health of
individuals exposed- versus never exposed to mercury
(from amalgam or thimerosal) with the exception of the
one by Mortada et al. [19].

As was shown by the recent debate regarding the as yet unrecognized profound
adverse side effects of hormone replacement therapy,
adverse side effects of hormone replacement therapy,
the lack of a large enough prospective controlled, randomized study
may lead to false conclusions.

Against this background
it is interesting to note that several scientists from the FDA, NIH, and CDC
may have been influenced by vaccine manufacturers or dental boards
[15, 20-24].

Despite this information, the Institute of Medicine of the U.S. concluded
recently that there is no relationship between thimerosal and autism,
and that no further studies should be conducted to evaluate the
relationship between thimerosal and autism [25].

Thus, it is important to carefully pay attention to published
and unpublished data and note pertinent conflicts of interest......

Any unsuspected source of methanol, which the body always quickly and
largely turns into formaldehyde and then formic acid, must be monitored,
especially for high responsibility occupations, often with night shifts,
such as pilots and nuclear reactor operators.


http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aspartameNM/message/1237
ubiquitous potent uncontrolled co-factors in nutrition research are
formaldehyde from wood and tobacco smoke and many sources, including
from methanol in dark wines and liquors, in pectins in fruits and
vegetables, and in aspartame: Murray 2005.11.08


As a medical layman, I suggest that evidence mandates immediate exploration
of the role of these ubiquitious, potent formaldehyde sources as co-factors
in epidemiology, research, diagnosis, and treatment in a wide variety of
disorders.

Folic acid, from fruits and vegetables, plays a role by powerfully
protecting against methanol (formaldehyde) toxicity.

Many common drugs, such as aspirin, interfere with folic acid,
as do some mutations in relevant enzymes.

The majority of aspartame reactors are female.

Dark wines and liquors, as well as aspartame, provide
similar levels of methanol, above 100 mg daily, for
long-term heavy users, 2 L daily, about 6 cans.

Methanol is inevitably largely turned into formaldehyde,
and thence largely into formic acid.
It is the major cause of the dreaded symptoms of "next
morning" hangover.

Fully 11% of aspartame is methanol -- 1,120 mg aspartame
in 2 L diet soda, almost six 12-oz cans, gives 123 mg
methanol (wood alcohol). If 30% of the methanol is turned
into formaldehyde, the amount of formaldehyde, 37 mg,
is 18.5 times the USA EPA limit for daily formaldehyde in
drinking water, 2.0 mg in 2 L average daily drinking water,

William Harvey, Executive Director of New Mexico Pharmacy Board Chairman
Storey
Members of the Board of Pharmacy
October 31, 2005

Dear Mr. Harvey, Mr. Chairman Storey, and Members of the NM Pharmacy Board:

I am pleased to submit to you this introductory letter requesting that you
schedule a brief appearance by Dr. Ken Stoller and me at the next meeting,
November 14-15, to consider the initial filing of the petition to your board
for a rule change and addition to the New Mexico Administrative Code of a
new sections pertaining to a prohibition for this state of the sale and
administering by prescription or any other means, including over the counter
sales, of medications, particularly those consumed by children, which
contain the neurotoxic artificial sweetener, aspartame, because of its
metabolite formaldehyde, as well as a prohibition and complete cessation of
administering vaccinations containing another neurotoxin, the preservative
thimerosal, because of its largest component by atomic weight, mercury;
further, not only formaldehyde is metabolized from aspartame, but also
diketopiperazine, an incontrovertibly proven brain tumor causing agent.

You will be hearing from many New Mexicans and non-New Mexicans: physicians,
legislators, educators, victims and ordinary citizens, in this regard.

As you perhaps know, the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board voted
4-2 on October 4 that it had the statutory powers and obligations to
consider a ban on aspartame in food products sold in New Mexico, and
therefore scheduled a 5 day hearing on the subject in July 2006. I hope you
find this encouraging and facilitating to the similar request I make of you
in regard to ridding New Mexico medicines and vitamins, especially for
children, of both aspartame and thimerosal.

There will be newspaper articles and radio discussions of these issues.
It is my sincere hope that you will consider the statutes and evidence
presented to you with open minds and with no concerns about commercial
impacts of such consumer protective additions to the Administrative Code,
nor how many products precisely might be impugned in pharmacies and retail
operations around New Mexico. They will certainly have time to adjust and
phase out the relevant products, in due course, if that is to be your
decision in these matters.

I hope that your sole concern will be the physiological well-being of New
Mexicans, who presently suffer greatly from such neurotoxins, and that you
will render the appropriate conclusion, regardless of the propaganda and
corporate boiler plate nonsense which will no doubt in time be presented to
you by representatives of the neurotoxin-polluting corporations which
manufacture such medications and children's vitamins containing aspartame,
as well as vaccinations containing mercury as a preservative.

Aspartame is in fact a dangerous drug which violates federal standards for
Adulteration, and yet aspartame obtained FDA approval for human consumption
in 1981 and for soft drinks in 1983, in complete violation of the federal
standards. Industry proponents and corporate lawyers representing these
corporations will try eventually to tell you that you have no power to
question a product given FDA approval, regardless of how many
neurodegenerative diseases, afflictions, and symptoms it can be proven to
have caused.

The statutory power to make such additions to the Administrative Code is
spelled out quite clearly in these following statutes:
26-1-3 Prohibited Acts:
The following acts are prohibited:
A. The sale of any drug or device that is adulterated, misbranded or a
counterfeit drug which is not a controlled substance;
B. The adulteration or misbranding of any drug or device

[ for rest of letter, http://www.wnho.org/ ]

The above is a summary of the relevant New Mexico statutes, and the proposed
Rule Change will follow shortly, on or before November 4, 2005, to allow 10
days to transmit by regular mail to all of the Board members.
Please place these items on the Agenda for November 14-15.

Thank you very much,
Respectfully,
