Health Websites that Have Been Crushed by Google’s Censorship (and those crushing it)
Google is simply not ranking any sites that are not on their “approved” list. Whether they did this through algorithm or manually is irrelevant, as the results are the same
Thimerosal may have a higher affinity for brain tissue compared to inorganic mercury.
PMID: J Appl Toxicol. 2006 Nov-Dec;26(6):536-9. PMID: 17080402 Abstract Title: Comparison of organic and inorganic mercury distribution in suckling rat. Abstract: Thiomersal is used as a preservative in vaccines given to small children. The metabolic product of thiomersal is ethylmercury and its distribution and kinetics are still not known, especially at this early age. The …
