Emerald City Clinic: Vis medicatrix naturae: "Warning! Mercury limits on Flu vaccines have been temporarily suspended!"

Friday, July 1, 2011

"Warning! Mercury limits on Flu vaccines have been temporarily suspended!"

We were just informed that the Secretary of Health, Mary Selecky, has extended the suspension of Washington's limit on the amount of mercury allowed in the flu vaccine.

This means that through June 30, 2012 the flu vaccine will contain higher amounts of mercury than considered safe for pregnant women and children under 3. If you or a loved one must get a flu vaccine, demand the single dose vials of flu vaccine because they do not have increased amounts of mercury.

The Washington state law permits increased amounts of mercury in vaccines when there is a shortage of vaccines. This is unacceptable, and should not be permitted.

Patient Reviews

"Thank you Molly! After getting off the phone with you I was overwhelmed with appreciation. I am so grateful for the outstanding quality of care that you have always given me and my family. I value how much you have educated me about our health over the years. I truly love how you explain everything to me and I am always left with the impression that you are one very smart lady and you treat me with respect." -- H.D
"Molly, I saw my friend tonight, and she told me for about the fourth time how finally going to Emerald City Naturopathic was the best thing she has ever done. She said she kind of got mad at me for pushing you so much because she felt she had tried everything for her condition, been to other naturopaths before, etc., and nothing had helped. But after being at your practice, she is feeling better than she has in a very long time and has gone a longer time between "episodes" than she has in years and years. She is a happy camper... and I wanted to let you know that she is very grateful. And I am grateful that you and your associates have been such a help to her." Best, Molly M.
" What I love about Molly is she taught me critical thinking about my health at an early stage of my life. " -- Jessica D.
"I want to introduce you to Dr. Molly Linton. She is nothing short of a miracle worker and she tells it like it is. You should talk with her immediately about your condition. She cured Lisa's Graves Disease and saved me from a life of obesity." -- Eddie
"Thanks Molly, I'm doing so so so much better than when you remember me. I have gained a lot of weight and can totally eat whatever I want, and I owe it all to you. I have stopped drinking and smoking....a total success of natural medicine. I owe the world to you." -- Evan C.
"Dear Molly, Thank you so much for your wonderful care, as always! It felt like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders after leaving your office. I appreciate very much the gift of...your wise, sage advice and recommendations!" -- Shelley G.
"I gave [NAET from Dr. Tamara Dickson] a real test. I went on two walks…one through a lot of trees and grass up at Leavenworth…not sure of the elevation…probably not bad. I didn’t really run out of breath. But, the wind was blowing in the afternoon and I really did great. I went through the day at work today and didn’t have any coughing spasms. I sit right under a heating/air vent and usually, it just kills me when it kicks on. So, I am SO thankful! Truly! No coughing fits, no headaches, and energy to boot! Life is great!" -- Patsy
"Molly, I wanted you to know that I am back to my good normal. It was our conversation that made the difference. Understanding what the grief was about has been amazingly powerful. ......For now having clarity and an action plan is anti-depressant enough! Thank you for your compassionate and wildly creative approaches to being a doctor." -- S.N.
