Toxemia is the medical term that defines a condition in which our bodies accumulate poisonous substances to a point that levels exceed our body's ability to cleanse them away. From conception, a child is exposed to an enormous amount of environmental toxins beginning with their mother and then the rest of the world. In North America, the air is toxic with over 80,000 metric tons of carcinogens released annually. The water is polluted with over 2100 chemicals in most municipal water supplies. The food supply is contaminated with over 80 percent of the foods having genetically modified ingredients, loaded with toxic chemicals and hormones and depleted of many nutrients.

One of the first toxins a child is exposed to is mercury. In a study by the Environmental Working Group, umbilical cord blood from ten babies was taken and tested for contaminants. The results showed that the babies had an average of 287 contaminants including methyl mercury. Of these chemicals, 180 are carcinogenic in humans, 217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system and 208 are known to cause birth defects.

For years, vaccines have been a remarkable source of mercury exposure to children. Infants are given hepatitis B; this is followed by 32 shots and boosters by the age of two. Although vaccines are safer today since the removal of thimerosal, the mercury preservative, some still contain this known toxin. The flu vaccine and the DT booster still contain mercury. DtaP-HepB-IPV also contains trace amounts of thimerosal. Replacement preservatives include phenol, benzethonium chloride and formaldehyde.
