Trace Amounts

This film provides multiple accounts of lives turned inside out by mercury poisoning. This is a controversial and confusing topic because not everyone who is exposed to mercury responds in the same way. Some people are much more genetically susceptible to the ill effects of this toxic substance, and notice immediately that something is wrong. Other people do not notice the effects of mercury as readily. This film is not against vaccines, or light bulbs, or any other product or artifact. It is against the use of an extremely toxic product that has caused grave harm to humans over history, over and over again. Mercury was used to treat syphilis, and in baby teething powder, and in thermometers, and in topical preparations. It was banned from these products, only to resurface in large amounts in one of the most common items in Western homes - our light bulbs. Children and adults are still getting exposed to more or less the same amount of mercury in vaccines because the number of vaccines and doses has increased, and most flu vaccines contain mercury.

Disappointing...

Producers are trying to convey a message that mostly falls on deaf ears.

I saw this film when it opened in Seattle and had an opportunity to speak briefly with Eric. My own son was vaccine injured at 2 years and 2 months of age, but he didn't fully recover. He now has a lifelong disability despite being developmentally normal at the time of the vaccine. Too many people are burying their heads in the sand and ignoring the rapidly swelling numbers of vaccine injuries. I am grateful to Eric for this film, as my son was rendered nonverbal by his vaccine injury and cannot describe what he's experiencing. I highly recommend this film to everybody who wants to be and stay healthy.

Another reviewer here knocked this movie as "anti-vaxxer nonsense", but that reviewer must have had a difficult time watching the movie with his head so far up his...

The truth is that this film captures an accurate timeline regarding the unnecessary and growing exposure of people around the world to high levels of mercury, and the devastating neurological damage that can and often does result. More to the point, virtually every study regarding the neurotoxicity of mercury, organic mercurials, and thimerosal specifically, backs the conclusions in the film.

Not one person interviewed in the film was anti-vaccine, but they were certainly against the unnecessary use of thimerosal in medicine and vaccines, as well as against other forms of mercury exposure.

Must see.

You can rent the film on their website as well (www.TraceAmounts.com). Incredibly well done, tons of credible science that is easy to digest. There is a reason this topic is so controversial.

Has history not shown us similarly tragedies with the harmful effects of smoking and lead in paint, all started with junk science and marketing. Why is this any different? Watch the film, come to your own conclusion, and spread the word to as many people as you can! This is a topic worth fighting for, and must be discussed.

Who ever said they didn't like the film in Seattle must have been watching another film. This film is incredibly well done! One of if not the best documentary I've ever seen. It is an absolute must see!
