In 2001 researchers at the University of Calgary in Canada get remarkable results when they exposed snail neurons to mercury. The video of the experiment is rather dramatic. You can witness the neuron deteriorate before your very eyes. For those that do not know, neurons between all species are identical in their makeup. The researchers isolated and grew the neurons over a matter of days and upon introducing mercury in the environment the neurons deteriorated with a matter of minutes. This is a very scary reality knowing that Thimerosal (A mercury based preservative) is injected into children immediately after birth. Here is the shocking video that would leave any parent dismayed knowing that they allowed the medical industry to convince them is in the best interest of their children's wellbeing.
How Mercury Produces Brain Damage

Here is an excellent short video that briefly describes the ways in which the American population is being dumbed down. Shown are examples of how the main stream media treats us like we don't have a single neuron left firing in our brains. Followed by a few reasons that they are partially correct. Thimersal (A mercury based preservative used in vaccines) and fluoride(Found in drinking water and toothpaste) are described as the main ammunition in the war against our critical thinking facilities. The topics are only touched on briefly, but the ideas expressed are sound in many experts opinion and hold a great deal of weight upon further investigation.
