flu shots

[deagar]

My 6 year old son has tics but currently they have been controlled. When I saw the pediatrician a week or so ago she mentioned that it would be a good idea to give him the flu shot due to his TS. He has never been officially diagnosed with TS by his pediatric neurologist but she just assumed that was what we were dealing with and labeled it that. Anyways, I went ahead with the flu shot and now read that there is mercury in it. After reading some various postings, I am assuming that wasn't a good thing to do on my part. Is there a way to remove mercury from your body through supplements etc. and why do they put mercury in vaccines? I am still at the research stage of my journey trying to prepare myself to better deal with possible future condition changes. I am praying that I am one of the lucky ones where everything just disappears but if that isn't the case, I want to be prepared so things don't get out of hand, if that is even something I can control. Anyways, now that I have read many posts, I am sure I will be asking a lot of questions. Thanks for your help! Deanna
