For those who want to make a case against flu shot vaccinations, the first item to start with is the "flu shot autism link". This year (2006) New York state passed a law banning vaccines and flu shots containing thimerosal (a mercury based preservative). But, the ban only applies to flu shots for children and pregnant women. Those who try to make a case against flu shot vaccinations wonder if thimerosal presence is safe for anyone.The flu shot autism link is related to the presence of abnormally high and unsafe levels of mercury in blood and tissue samples of children with autism. It is believed that while most children may be unaffected by mercury present in flu shots and other vaccines, other children do not have the ability to "shed" the mercury from their systems, so it builds up and damages nerve and brain cells. Having no way to tell which children can and which cannot "shed" the mercury, researchers and others have been making a case against flu shot vaccinations and other childhood vaccinations that contain thimerosal as a preservative.Even though many public health groups maintain that thimerosal as a preservative is safe, several pharmaceutical companies now have...more

Traumatic injuries to teeth are more common than ever before and they are the most serious of dental conditions. Excluding motor-vehicle injuries, most data document a relatively consistent increase in injuries to teeth in recent years.Advice to parents and team coaches used to be fairly straightforward and easy to remember. First, find the tooth and keep it moist while transporting the injured child to the dental office. Distilled water, contact lens solutions and milk were considered acceptable liquids for the purpose. Second, the predominant treatment philosophy following an accident involving tooth loss called for replacing the tooth immediately or within 30 to 60 minutes if possible. But after years of study, researchers have found that the long-term clinical rate of replanted avulsed teeth has been low, ranging from 4 to 50 percent. For this reason, attention is now being focused on keeping the soft tissue around the root healthy rather than on the speed of tooth replacement.The best outcome in the case of a tooth being knocked out can be expected when the tooth is replaced within a few minutes of the traumatic event. According to Endodontics: Colleagues for Excellence, if...more
