[2016] VACCINE TEST RESULTS
– All 16 vaccines tested contain mercury in small amounts.
– Eight of the 16 vaccines contain nickel in small amounts.
– Six of the 16 vaccines contain small amounts of arsenic.
– 15 of the 16 vaccines contain uranium in small traces.
– All 16 vaccines contain minor traces of aluminum, even if not declared.
– Gardasil, Gardasil 9 and Synflorix contain twice as much aluminum as indicated.
– The aluminum content in the so-called attenuated vaccines lies around one thousand to six thousand times above
the safety limit for drinking water!

  For starters, when you orally ingest aluminum, your body will absorb between 0.2 to 1.5 percent of it. When aluminum is injected into muscle, your body absorbs 100 percent, which is why aluminum-containing vaccines are likely far more dangerous than eating aluminum.
    In all, American children end up getting about 6,150 mcg of aluminum if they get all of the recommended vaccines on the childhood vaccine schedule.
    Pro-vaccine advocates will tell you that aluminum is rapidly excreted. But research shows a different reality. Rabbit studies show almost all of the aluminum (78 to 94 percent) is retained 28 days after intramuscular injection. Autopsy examinations revealed the aluminum accumulated in the kidneys, spleen, liver, heart, lymph nodes, and brain — in that order. Long-term, aluminum also collects in your bones.
    Studies on human infants show that no aluminum is excreted short term at all. Here, 2-month old infants were given a total of 1,200 mcg of aluminum in the form of three intramuscular vaccines, as per the standard vaccination schedule. Blood and urine levels of aluminum were measured over the following 12 hours. The authors were "reassured" to find there was no rise in blood levels of aluminum following vaccination. But no aluminum came out through the urine either. So where did it all go?
    When Humphries wrote to one of the authors to get an answer to that question, the author, Dr. Tammy Movsas, wrote back saying: "So... we don't really know what happens to the aluminum at this point in time. As you said, more research is needed in this area." Yet this study is one of the studies used to assuage fears that aluminum may be harmful.
    In another study, one healthy adult male given a tiny amount of aluminum (a mere 0.7 mcg) intravenously, not intramuscularly, still had 4 percent of the aluminum in his body more than three years later. Most of the aluminum was excreted by the kidneys, and therein lies a major part of the problem, as infant kidney function is not equivalent to an adult.
    Excretion of aluminum is not as efficient in infants and young children, yet this fact is almost never taken into consideration. That which is not excreted ends up accumulating in various organs, including the child's brain, kidneys, and bones.
[2016 June] How Aluminum in Vaccines Affects Your Health by Joseph Mercola, DO

"they give vaccines with something in them which throws a red alert switch and forces a normal baby to respond whether they want to or not. the process goes like this. injection of aluminum adjuvant vaccines, most of which are, into a muscle..... not eaten, not intravenous, but injected into muscle (very important), causes the release of uric acid, DNA, and cell components from those damaged cells that the needle went into. and what that does is it turns on an inflammatory cascade which is represented here. these inflammazomes get activated and T helper cells come in and macrophages just continuing to eat aluminum until they basically eat themselves to death sometimes, or they carry it off to other places in the body. aluminum's mechanism of action as an adjuvant is still not fully understood even though it has been used in vaccines for over 70 years. what is known about the mechanism and about the overall effects of aluminum is very disturbing and it's also well documented in toxicology literature and in independent medical research literature. basically aluminum sets the immune system on fire to accomplish what the antigens couldn't do on their own. if you inject a baby with pneumococcal vaccine that does not have aluminum the baby won't respond to it. because it's programmed to be anti inflammatory. so the aluminum is basically to override the baby's, and even adults, anti inflammatory predisposition. the problem with this is while vaccines promoters do their best to brainwash people to into thinking that aluminum is essential for healthy growth. I've even seen vaccine promoting doctors that are quite famous say that its necessary for normal gestation. they also say that it's easily excreted. well that's just a lie on wheels. which is whipped around the globe while no one appears to have a clue where to look in the science to find out if it's actually true. guess what it's not true"
        "scientists in 2013 say "although traditional aluminum based adjuvants have been used in humans since the 1930's, there is still not enough information about the manner of their actions. so if there is not enough information about how aluminum acts, how then is it possible to say that it is safe? the simplest way is to say nothing and rely on the fact that most parents don't ask questions and don't go looking for the answers themselves. they think well the mercury is gone, that's good. well guess what the aluminum is nowhere near gone and it's much higher levels than the mercury ever was. when parents do ask they discover not only is little known about the action of aluminum but worse there is plenty of evidence explaining in considerable details some of aluminum's many known dangers. one of these dangers is related to what we are talking about with epigenetics. the interference of epigenetics in the cell membrane. well the interface of aluminum damage is exactly at the same place. in that cell membrane. we know that cell membranes and myelin are affected by aluminum."
        "and this is just a schematic of a cell membrane and some of those proteins that are sitting in there. and aluminum goes in there. have a look at this membrane and consider that each cell has around 100 thousand switches, that open and close it to various substances and affect the inside and the nucleus. then consider the fact that after aluminum exposure the cell membranes and myelin become stiff and dysfunctional. (the references are on the slide). aluminum is a death signal to cells. it's not a nutrient. it has no place in the body. and it should never ever be injected into a muscle. another pediatric fallacy of the past is that a baby's blood brain barrier is impermeable. it's not and when it comes to aluminum neither is yours.
        "this is a schematic from an incredible article, by Kawahara from 2011. he shows, and not only him but many other authors have shown, in trojan horse fashion, aluminum does cross the blood brain barrier, in macrophages and with other carriers that shuttle it across. Kawahar's article is really important because it supports with 176 scientific references the fact that aluminum is a death factor for cells. aluminum binds to phosphorous in DNA. and it influences various genes. we talked about epigenetics. things can be turned off or shut off. it also binds to ATP. and impairs energy production. ATP is this substance that gives us energy in the mitochondria. it displaces calcium and magnesium on enzymes. enzymes won't work if they don't have the proper minerals and cofactors. and it basically makes the enzymes useless to do their enzymatic work. and worse than that it increases the halflife of aluminum in the body. because it's still hanging out there on these enzymes. it damages cell membranes by catalyzing this peroxidation reaction. and that's just the beginning of the havoc that aluminum causes. remember that cell membranes control how genes function, how the inside of the cell functions, how cells talk to eachother, whether we grow, whether we die, whether cells differentiate into organs, or whether they turn into cancer."
        "so the question we need to ask is 2 fold. why do we have so many vaccines containing aluminum? why are there no other safe or effective adjuvants being used? the medical model says that aluminum is safe in babies. this article says we need safer adjuvants. this is an article from 2013. while the body is able to excrete aluminum in its natural form. the element aluminum like mercury is toxic to all life forms when concentrated in their tissues. how would aluminum concentrate in tissues? it just wouldn't be excreted rapidly like we're told that it is."
        "the kidney function of a baby bears little resemblance to that of the 7 healthy adults that were used to justify the vaccinations of all babies with aluminum. kidney function is a very important detail left out of the discussion. as a nephrologist I know a little bit about that. as you can see on this chart, it can take as long as 2 years for babies to gain peak kidney clearance or kidney function. in the first 3 months, none of them has peak kidney function, and at birth look at how low it is. if >90 is normal... between 2 and 8 days the average is 39 and the range is from 17 to 60."
        "Just take a quick look at the 3 points here and you'll see why the minimal risk levels are fictitious. Because they used a miniscule single dose of aluminum. .7 micrograms. consider that your 2 month old baby will get 1200 micrograms of aluminum injected intramuscularly. they used .7 micrograms on a full grown man with normal kidney function. and later they did it to 6 more people to track the aluminum excretion. they used an intravenous dose, which does none of those inflammatory processes that I mentioned. it would go right to kidneys and be filtered. and it would not have behaved nearly as maliciously, as an intramuscular injection. they also used a form of aluminum called aluminum citrate which has never been a form of aluminum in vaccines. then they simply followed the blood and urine levels of radio labeled aluminum. they used the radio labeled aluminum for the intravenous. and they did separate studies where they fed rodents high levels of aluminum and determined this minimum risk level from rodents and these adults I'm talking to you about. they made this comment about monkeys. they said towards the end of the article. "An infant monkey study could provide these data, (meaning more accurate data), however given the present lack of evidence of harm due to the current aluminum levels, such studies may be a low priority." of course doing monkey studies would be a low priority, because if they did them and found that aluminum was causing trouble, they were coincidentally linking with other things, or calling it idiopathic, which is what I see happening most, the vaccine companies would not only have to reformulate vaccines, but they would have to go back to the start, and complete millions of dollars worth of phase testing for safety and efficacy. neither the vaccine manufacturers the FDA, the CDC would ever tolerate that."
        "Another group who recently banged the gong, is Khan 2013 group, who didn't seem too pleased. the study showed intramuscular injection of aluminum containing vaccine was associated with the appearance of aluminum deposits in distant organs, such as the brain and spleen, where they were still detected one year after injection. I have 2 folders filled with papers which describe in intricate detail the known and proven toxicities of aluminum throughout the body. Dismissing all of that literature vaccine proponents continue to reassure parents that aluminum is no big deal, and they base these reassurances on junk "science" or no science at all. The problem with aluminum is that its efficacy and its toxicity are one in the same. The same mechanisms that drive the immune stimulating effect also have the capacity to provoke a variety of autoimmune and or inflammatory adverse reactions. Repeated intramuscular injection of aluminum adds to the accumulation in cell membranes, lymph nodes, liver, spleen, brain, kidney, and bone. And when you go back and consider some of the windows of development that we talked about in immune maturations, the use of aluminum should take on a new importance."
   "Then there was this study done, the interpretation of which, will boggle the mind. This was actually a good study because what this doctor did was looked at 2 month old infants after they received the usual 1200 microgram aluminum dose, for the 3 intramuscular vaccines. the aluminum was given per the usual infant schedule. then she measured the blood levels and the urine levels of aluminum over the subsequent 12 hours, because we are told that the aluminum is rapidly excreted within 12 to 24 hours. This paper said that they were relieved to notice that no significant change in levels of urinary or serum aluminum were seen after vaccination. And I read that and I thought why are they relieved to see that? I wrote this doctor, and I queried her. I told her about the problem with low filtration rates of infants. Where is the aluminum going? what's happening? so they injected these babies with aluminum. they didn't see it rise in the blood, and they didn't see it come out in urine. so you can put that equation together right? Her reply to me was: We don't really know what happens to the aluminum at this point in time. As you said more research is needed in this area. I wrote her back again, and sent some more studies and some more questions and she hasn't written me back."
        "Here's proof. This was a study from Dr. Thomas Jefferson. I think from 2007. they did a meta analysis. they looked at studies that had already been done comparing people who had the diptheria, tetanus, pertussis vaccines to those who hadn't. Just that one vaccine. They determined that "despite a lack of good quality evidence we do not recommend that any further research on this topic is undertaken." this was the Cochrane collaborative database, an independent research conglomerate. why would they say this? They gave away why they said it later in the article and I'm just going to read to you what the article said. It's one paragraph. "Replacement of aluminum compounds in currently licensed vaccines would necessitate the introduction of a completely new compound that would have to be investigated before licensing. No obvious candidates to replace aluminum are available." (they tried Squalene in Gulf War, that didn't work very well. they also tried it over in Scandinavia and there was an epidemic of narcolepsy) "SO withdrawal for safety reasons would severely affect the immunogenicity and protective effect of some currently licensed vaccines and threaten immunization programs worldwide." (and we all know what else it would threaten). This type of commentary is made repeatedly. It flies in the face of reason. Well established, peer reviewed, independent publications are ignored time and again. I have many more examples of such blatant denial but not enough time to discuss it. I have a pile of papers down here with more of it." [2015 July] Dr. Suzanne Humphries Neonatal Immunity The First 3 Years Parts 1-6

[2014 May] Fluoride combined with even trace amounts of aluminum in water can cause major brain damage  “One study shows that adding fluoride to water in the presence of even small amounts of aluminum caused severe destruction of brain cells in the part of the brain controlling learning and memory,” explains Dr. Blaylock in his new report.

[2010 Oct] Aluminium Scare, is it Poisoning Vaccines?  Prof Romain Gherardi of INSERM, Paris heads a team with concerns over possible adverse neurological effects of aluminium adjuvants -- used to enhance vaccine effectiveness since 1926....According to Professor Romain Gherardi head of the research team at the U955 lab based in Creteil, Paris , nanoparticles of aluminum in vaccines, injected into muscle, migrate slowly but surely to the brain, where, as we have previously thought they were gradually removed through the urine. But he adds we know from research done in the 1970s that aluminium is neurotoxic, that is, it is harmful to the brain. (Adjuvants are an immunological agent added to a vaccine to increase the antigenic response.)........“The worst offence,” says an indignant M. Berthon, is using aluminium in our tap water, it’s criminal, and remember that anything in excess of 100 micrograms per litre is dangerous.”
    However, with the exception of Paris – which for the past 30 years has used iron in water treatment – drinking water suppliers add aluminium salts to make the water clearer....Several studies have highlighted the link between aluminium overloaded drinking water and some cases of dementia, symptoms reminiscent of Alzheimer’s disease ......In 1976 , cases of dementia, joint pain, bone decalcification and anemia had occurred among patients unergoing renal dialysis. Virginie Belle writes that many doctors and researchers have fostered investigations related to the adverse impact of aluminium and what she calls the “omerta of health authorities” is suspicious.

Babies that follow the recommended immunization schedule receive nearly 5000mcg (5mg!) of aluminum by 18 months of age. (Since some shot dates are variable, babies may receive up to 1,4 75mcg of aluminum at their 12-month or 15-month checkups!) Source: Product inserts and the CDC' s immunization schedule, 2010.
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are aware that aluminum is dangerous. For example, in June 2000, Dr. Tom Verstraeten, CDC epidemiologist, made the following comment to a group of concerned scientists: "The results [for aluminum] were almost identical to ethylmercury because the amount of aluminum [in vaccines] goes along almost exactly with the mercury." He was referring to a landmark study that found "statistically significant relationships" between both aluminum and mercury in vaccines and neuro-developmental delays. Dr. John Clements, WHO vaccine advisor, provided another telling statement:  "Aluminum is not perceived, I believe, by the public as a dangerous metal. Therefore, we are in a much more comfortable wicket in terms of defending its presence in vaccines. "  [2010] MAKE an INFORMED VACCINE DECISION by Mayer Eisenstein, MD, JD, MPH (with Neil Miller) p. 206

The FDA is also aware that aluminum is dangerous. In a critical document on drug evaluation, the following statement is made:
    "Research indicates that patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates, who receive [injections] of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5mcg per kilogram of body weight per day, accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading may occur at even lower rates. " —FDA document
    This means that for a 6 pound baby, 1 l-14mcg would be toxic. The hepatitis B vaccine given at birth contains 250mcg of aluminum—20 times higher than safety levels! Babies weigh about 12 pounds (5.5kg) at two months of age when they receive l,225mcg of aluminum from their vaccines—50 times higher than safety levels!
    Of course, healthy babies without impaired kidney function may be able to handle more aluminum. However, no one knows how much more because such studies were never conducted. In addition, babies are not screened for kidney strength prior to vaccination. Therefore, it's impossible to know ahead of time which babies will succumb to aluminum poisoning. Instead, parents are expected to play Russian Roulette with their children (see table). Aluminum-free vaccines are a safer alternative.

I happened to know a pathologist, so quizzed him as to what an autopsy involved, and was shocked to find that other than something really “gross” (such as a tumour), the average autopsy isn’t designed to find out real answers. Certainly, an autopsy didn’t look for dead or dying motor neurons, or perform the Morin stain to find a known cause of dying motor neurons. And he doubted that if asked, the pathologist would agree to doing them, even though those tests might give the Renata’s an answer. I discussed the situation with another pathologist as well, ...  who also pointed out that even if the tests showed aluminium, a barrage of ‘excuses” would be proferred showing why the aluminium couldn’t possible have come from the vaccine, and would have “had” to have been another ‘underlying’ condition. Anything, to protect a sacred cow. [2001 Jan] Part Four Autopsy and Jasmine Renata

Fluoride: The Deadly Legacy by Gary Null, Ph.D. Lead isn't the only metal that interacts with fluoride in a toxic combination. Aluminum is another.
In 1976, Dr. D. Allman and coworkers from Indiana University School of Medicine fed animals 1 part-per-million (ppm) fluoride and found that in the presence of aluminum, in a concentration as small as 20 parts per billion, fluoride is able to cause an even larger increase in cyclic AMP levels. Cyclic AMP inhibits the migration rate of white blood cells, as well as the ability of the white blood cell to destroy pathogenic (disease-causing) organisms. The fact that fluoride toothpastes and school based mouth rinses are packaged in aluminum accentuates the effect on the body.(170) 
    Research conducted by Mullenix and colleagues in 1995 indicated that rats treated with low doses of fluoride cause sex- and dose-specific behavioral aberrations with a common pattern.(171) Rats exposed prenatally became hyperactive, while those exposed post-natally became hypoactive. This effect was confirmed by a 2001 study in which administration of sodium fluoride with drinking water produced both behavioural and dental toxicities. A suppression of spontaneous motor activity, a shortening of rota-rod endurance time, a decreased body weight gain and food intake, a suppression of total cholinesterase and acetylcholinesterase activities and dental lesion were observed in test animals. Serum fluoride concentration was raised markedly and that of calcium was decreased in the animals.(172)
A 1998 study by Julie A. Varner and colleagues at the Psychology Department of Binghamton University (NY) shows that neurotoxic effects like these are enhanced by the synergetic action of fluoride and aluminum.(173) Varner describes "alterations in the nervous system resulting from chronic administration of the fluoroaluminum complex or equivalent levels of fluoride in the form of sodium-fluoride. The rats were given fluoride in drinking water at the same level deemed "optimal" by pro-fluoridation groups, namely 1 part per million (1 ppm). Most pronounced damage was seen in animals that got the fluoride in conjunction with aluminum. The pathological changes found in the brain tissue of the animals were similar to the alterations found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. The authors speculate that fluoride enables aluminum to cross the blood-brain barrier. These results are especially disturbing because of the low dose level of fluoride that shows the toxic effect in rats - rats are more resistant to fluoride than humans."(174) 
    Another study done in Czechoslovakia adds force to the idea that aluminum may act synergetically with fluoride to trigger the mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease. The study shows that some of pathologic changes associated with AD are not induced by aluminum alone, but by the aluminofluoride complexes. These complexes may act as the initial signal stimulating impairment of homeostasis, degeneration and death of the cells. By influencing energy metabolism these complexes can accelerate the aging and impair the functions of the nervous system. "In respect to the etiology of AD, the long term action of aluminofluoride complexes may represent a serious and powerful risk factor for the development of AD," the authors conclude.(175)
    Incidentally, if you're thinking that fluoride and aluminum exist in separate worlds and are unlikely to find each other in the normal course of events, think again. Fluoride is a direct byproduct of aluminum production. Aluminum is often added to drinking water as a flocculating agent, by the same folks who add the fluoride-your local water authority. Aluminum and fluoride form a number of complexes, the most deadly of these being aluminum tetrafluoride.(176) Czech researchers have shown that the body reacts to aluminum tetrafluoride as if it were a phosphate ion capable of triggering G proteins. G-proteins are water-soluble substances (i.e. hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors) that transmit messages from the outside to the inside of a cell.(177) Aluminum tetrafluoride is capable of switching on G proteins without hormones, neurotransmitters, or growth factors present.(178) 'This, notes Paul Connett, 'is the most worrisome aspect of fluoride subtle biochemistry."

  A team of scientists have investigated a case of vaccine-associated chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and macrophagic myofasciitis in an individual demonstrating aluminium overload. .....a possible mechanism whereby vaccination involving aluminium-containing adjuvants could trigger the cascade of immunological events that are associated with autoimmune conditions, including chronic fatigue syndrome and macrophagic myofasciitis.

A multitude of studies have shown that aluminum, especially if combined with fluoride, is a powerful brain toxin and that it accumulates in the brain.

Offit tells us how aluminum in babies formula and breast milk dwarfs the amount in vaccines. What he doesn't explain is that aluminum is only dangerous once it's in the bloodstream. [2009 Jan] The Vaccine Hard Sell at Pediatrics By Michael Wagnitz, B.S.

Hair analysis reveals high levels of aluminum, which is also found in vaccines. "I think in later years we are going to look back at aluminum the way we are looking at mercury now," said Cave. "Aluminum is neurotoxic but is found in city water, cookware, cans, and foil. All of this can accumulate, and it is a very difficult metal to pull out of their systems....It is a slow, arduous process, but if I had to name one treatment that has had astounding results, it is pulling metals [through nutritional therapies]....The age group that seems to benefit the most is between two and seven. Between seven and 12 there is speech and social recovery, and after 12 there is an ability to reduce the rage usually seen. Metal is rage. When you pull the metal, the rage goes."

"In large measure, those martyred by dementia are showing the results of toxicity from mercury, aluminium, lead, cadmium, arsenic and other heavy metals. Their neurons have been poisoned. They are turned into alzheimer’s victims directly through the efforts of dentists who blindly follow the party line of their trade union organisation, the ADA."—Dr Casdorph, M.D. (Toxic Metal Syndrome)

"Here's my best response to the thimerosal argument: While definitely it's not good to inject children with mercury, I think that's only a part of the problem. I think that thimerosal can make the aluminum even more toxic because the two metals are reactive, and if it's true that thimerosal reduces glutathione (I found this study on TACA), then children's bodies would be less capable of excreting the aluminum."
    "However, I personally think the biggest contributing factor to the autism symptoms is the aluminum, which has been increased over the years in proportion to the autism increases. "
    "So yes I think thimerosal is dangerous, but only one part of the  problem. I believe autism is also caused by aluminum toxicity (which I think could be exacerbated by mercury). If I'm right about the aluminum, you would expect to see autism rates continue to rise since the number of aluminum-containing vaccines continues to increase." [Sept 2008] Stunning New Link Between Vaccines and Autism Rates

"The aluminum industry is gathering together all research documents, marketing promotion documents, and trade association documents for that near future time when individual populations worldwide will wake up to the dangers of its aluminum products. Court actions are inevitable. In the meantime aluminum company executives are attempting to win friends for themselves and the industry. For instance, Edward Truschke, the executive director of the Alzheimer's Association headquarters in Chicago, in response to our multiple inquiries, finally admitted that his organization has received unrestricted grant monies from the Aluminum Association of Canada (ALCAN) and from the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA). He did not acknowledge, but we are aware anyway, that the international Alzheimer's disease medical meeting held in July 1992, in Italy, was sponsored in part by the Aluminum Association of Canada."----Dr Casdorph, M.D. & Dr Morton Walker 

We now know that aluminum causes significant abnormalities in neurotubules, microscopic tubes in neurons essential to their function, and these abnormal neurotubules are strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease. Aluminum enters the brain by a number of mechanisms, for example by attaching to glutamate and fluoride. With the widespread use of the excitotoxin glutamate as a food additive and fluoride being added to drinking water supplies, aluminum absorption is common. In addition, injected aluminum can complex with fluoride within the body to produce a compound, fluoroaluminum, that has a number of harmful effects, including brain injury. There is some evidence that fluoride can trigger microglial activation and excitotoxicity, which in combination is particularly injurious to the brain. (Blaylock, RL. Fluoride 2004:37(4);301 -314.) Vaccine Safety Manual  by Neil Z. Miller. (Preface)

In 2001, Dr. R. K. Gherardi and co-workers described a new condition associated with retained aluminum in injected tissues from aluminum hydroxide vaccine adjuvants, which they called macrophagic myofasciitis. This infirmity was associated with intense, diffuse muscle pains, weakness and various neurological complaints. At the time of their first report there were 130 patients from France and a growing number of cases from Germany, USA, Portugal and Spain. In all cases, the problem was linked to hepatitis B (86%), hepatitis A (19%) or tetanus toxoid (58%) vaccines. A subsequent report found a number of patients with a multiple sclerosis-like illness. In 2004, a study reported in the journal Neurology (63:838-842) found that people exposed to the complete series of hepatitis B vaccines experienced a 3 00 percent higher risk of developing multiple sclerosis than the unvaccinated public. Others dispute this link. Vaccine Safety Manual  by Neil Z. Miller. (Preface)

Polysorbate-80 is used in pharmacology to assist in the delivery of certain drugs or chemotherapeutic agents across the blood-brain-barrier. What viral, bacterial, yeast, heavy metal or other vaccine containing ingredient need to pass into the brains of our children? Do they belong in the brain? Is that part of the needed immune response to protect our children from disease? Do vaccine materials pass across the blood-brain barrier with the help of Polysorbate-80? If so, are there complications from being in the brains of our children? Is this another connection to help us get an understanding of why 1 in 150 children have autism, or 1 in 6 children has developmental/learning disabilities? Aluminum and Vaccine Ingredients: What Do We Know? What Don’t We Know? by Lawrence B. Palevsky, MD, FAAP

While mercury has gotten all the attention, aluminum (found in most vaccines) is also a major culprit in this shocking saga. Added to most vaccine are a number of substances either used during manufacturing or designed as an immune booster (adjuvant). These include albumin, aluminum (either as aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate or alum also known as aluminum potassium sulfate), various amino acids, DNA residues, egg protein, gelatin, monosodium glutamate (MSG), MRC-5 cellular protein and various antibiotics. Not listed on official lists are bacterial and viral contaminants, which can include their particulate, fragmented matter.94-99
    The purpose of the aluminum compounds is to dramatically boost the immune reaction to the vaccine and make it prolonged, since some of the aluminum remains in the site of injection for years. Aluminum was first added to vaccines in 1926. Many of the other components added to the vaccines also boost immunity, especially that of undesirable components of the immune system, such as the B-cells.
    Because these vaccine adjuvants are designed to produce a prolonged immune stimulation, they pose a particular hazard to the developing nervous system. Studies have shown that immune activation can last as long as two years after vaccination. This means that the brain’s microglial cells are also primed for the same length of time, and possibly longer.
    A new emerging syndrome called macrophagic myofasciitishas been attributed to the aluminum adjuvant in vaccines and is especially associated with the hepatitis B vaccine and the tetanus vaccine.100 Victims of this syndrome suffer severe muscle and joint pains and severe weakness. Subsequent studies, since the syndrome was first described in France, indicate widespread, severe brain injury as well, as confirmed by MRI scanning.101,102 This brain syndrome has been described in American children as well.
    It is known that aluminum accumulates in the brain and results in neurodegeneration. The evidence for a link between aluminum neurotoxicity and Alzheimer’s disease continues to grow stronger. Aluminum, like mercury, activates microglia leading to chronic brain inflammation, which is a major event in both Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.103-110
    Flarend and co-workers studied the fate of vaccine injected aluminum in the dose approved by the FDA (0.85 mg per dose) using radiolabeled aluminum adjuvant –either aluminum hydroxide or aluminum phosphate, the two approved forms of adjuvants used in vaccines.111 They found that the aluminum was rapidly absorbed into the blood from both forms of aluminum, but that the aluminum phosphate was absorbed faster and produced tissue levels 2.9x higher than aluminum hydroxide. Blood levels of aluminum remained elevated for 28 days with both adjuvants. Elevated aluminum levels were found in the kidney, spleen, liver, heart, lymph nodes and brain.
    This indicates that aluminum from vaccines is redistributed to numerous organs including brain, where it accumulates. Each vaccine adds to this tissue level of aluminum. If we calculate the total aluminum dose from 36 vaccines, we see that the total dose is 30.6 mg and not the 0.85 mg considered safe by the FDA. Of course not all this aluminum ends up in the tissues, but they will accumulate substantial amounts, especially when added to the amount from foods and drinking water. When a number of aluminum-containing vaccines are given during a single office visit, aluminum blood levels rise rapidly and to much higher levels and this elevation persist for over a month, all the time infiltrating the tissues, including the brain with aluminum.
    It is also known that aluminum enhances the toxicity of mercury and that aluminum, even from other sources, increases inflammation in the body.106 The question no one seems to be asking is -does the aluminum act as a constant source of brain inflammation? Research, especially that showing aluminum-triggered microglial activation, seems to indicate it does.112 Dr. Anna, Strunecka, a professor of physiology, found that aluminum readily binds with fluoride to form fluoroaluminum and that this compound can active G-protein receptors, which controls a number of neurotransmitters, including glutamate receptors.46 Giving multiple aluminum-containing vaccines at once would raise blood and tissue levels much higher than when give separately, thus increasing brain levels as well. Fluoride in drinking water, foods and dental treatments would react with the brain aluminum, creating the neurotoxic fluoroaluminum combination.

A 12-pound, two-month-old baby could safely receive at least 30 mcg of aluminum per day. A 22-pound one-year-old could receive at least 50 mcg safely.....
........a newborn who gets a Hepatitis B injection on day one of life would receive 250 mcg of aluminum. This would be repeated at one month with the next Hep B shot. When, at two months, a baby gets its first big round of shots, the total dose of aluminum could vary from 295 mcg (if a non-aluminum HIB and the lowest-aluminum brand of DTaP are used) to a whopping 1,225 mcg (if the Hep B vaccine is given along with the brands with the highest aluminum contents). If the Pentacel combo vaccine is given along with the Hep B and Pneumococcus vaccines, the total aluminum dose could be as high as 1,875 mcg. These doses are repeated at four and six months. With most subsequent rounds of shots, a child would continue to get some aluminum throughout the first two years.
    But the FDA recommends that premature babies, and anyone with impaired kidney function, receive no more than 10 to 25 mcg of injected aluminum at any one time.
    As a medical doctor, my first instinct was to worry that these aluminum levels far exceed what may be safe for babies. My second instinct was to assume that the issue had been properly researched, and that studies had been done on healthy infants to determine their ability to rapidly excrete aluminum. My third instinct was to search for these studies. So far, I have found none.......I can find no references in FDA documents that show that using aluminum in vaccines has been tested and found to be safe.

he toxic threshold of aluminum in the bloodstream may be lower than 100 mcg per liter. The buildup of aluminum in tissues has been seen even in patients with healthy kidneys who receive IV solutions containing aluminum over extended periods.
[2008] Is Aluminum the New Thimerosal? By Robert W. Sears

Because a newborn's body contains about a liter (300 milliliters) of blood, more than 30 mcg of aluminum floating around in the bloodstream could be toxic if the baby's kidneys aren't working well. The body of a toddler or preschool-age child contains about 1 liter of blood, so more than 100 mcg in his system could be toxic—and, as we've seen, babies can receive more than 1,000 mcg of injected aluminum all at one time........ No one has measured the levels of aluminum absorption by the bloodstream when it is injected into the skin and muscle of infants, or the levels of excretion from the body via urination. All of the FDA and AAP documents that I've read state that aluminum might be a problem, but that they haven't studied it yet, so we should limit the amount of aluminum included in injectable solutions. But, again, no one is talking about the levels of aluminum in vaccines. [2008] Is Aluminum the New Thimerosal? By Robert W. Sears

Several years ago, some suspected cases of aluminum toxicity resulted in various neurologic and degenerative problems. The Cochrane Collaboration, a group that studies health-care issues around the world, wanted to look at a very large study group to see if there was a real correlation between neurologic problems and the aluminum in vaccines. They investigated all the reported side effects of one aluminum-containing vaccine, DTP (no longer used), and looked for any evidence that such vaccines caused more side effects than non-aluminum vaccines. Other than more redness, swelling, and pain at the injection site, they found no indication that an aluminum-containing vaccine caused any more problems, and concluded that no further research should be undertaken on this topic. That is a very bold statement. Most researchers will draw conclusions from the findings of their own research; it's unusual to say that no one else should do any more research into the matter.
    This is especially surprising because of the limitations of the Cochrane Collaboration's study. They looked at the effects of only one standard aluminum-containing vaccine, rather than the effects of all four being administered at once. They didn't study aluminum metabolism itself. They didn't test aluminum levels in children after vaccination, nor did they explore whether or not the amount of aluminum in vaccines builds up in the brain or bone tissues. They looked only for evidence of external symptoms of aluminum toxicity, not internal effects. Nor did they do their own research; instead, they reviewed all available studies conducted by other investigators. Despite all this, the Cochrane Collaboration study essentially closed the book on investigating aluminum toxicity from vaccines, without really having opened it in the first place.  [2008] Is Aluminum the New Thimerosal? By Robert W. Sears

Because no meaningful research has specifically been done on aluminum in vaccines, there is no existing evidence that the amount in vaccines is harmful to infants and children. However, no one has actually studied aluminum levels in healthy human infants after vaccination to make sure it is safe. [2008] Is Aluminum the New Thimerosal? By Robert W. Sears

Science has proven that the following conditions may all be caused by the aluminum-hydroxide in vaccines: Chronic fatigue, Multiple sclerosis , Lou Gehrig’s disease, Demyelinating central nervous system disorders, Plymyalgia rheumatica and rheumatoid arthritis, Motor delay, Hypotonia or diminished muscle tone, Failure to thrive, Apoptic neurons, which are self-destructing neurons in the lumbar spinal cord, Neuron loss in the lumbar spinal cord. I’ve known for over four years now that aluminum was bad for the body, but as usual, I just didn’t know how bad it is. However, there is plenty of scientific evidence, hidden in plain sight, proving the pervasiveness and toxic nature of aluminum in our world today. Aluminum-hydroxide in vaccines causes serious health problems By Tenna Merchant

At the National Autism Association conference in Atlanta, Georgia November 8-11, 2007, Dr. David Ayoub gave a rousing presentation on the link between the accumulation of aluminum in the body and the development of autism spectrum disorders. He provided stunning documentation from diagnostic tests done on autistic children showing very high aluminum levels along with known symptoms of aluminum poisoning. He also brought up the Alzheimers/aluminum connection.  Aluminum Toxicity: A misdiagnosed epidemic (Part 1) By Ingri Cassel

"We have demonstrated the toxicity of thimerosal by using it to kill neurons in culture. At 50 nanomolar thimerosal the neuron killing capacity/rate is about doubled with the addition of levels of aluminium found in vaccines. The aluminium alone at this level is not demonstrated to be toxic, so it is enhancing the toxicity of the thimerosal. It likely does this by increasing the rate that thimerosal breaks down releasing ethylmercury which is the toxic material" -------Testimony Prof Boyd Haley, University of Kentucky, Chair and Head of Chemistry.......

Aluminum Toxicity: A misdiagnosed epidemic (Part 1) By Ingri Cassel But the amount of aluminum being injected into infants as recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is a jaw dropper.
      The average birth weight for a baby is 7.4 lbs. (3.4 kg.) They receive soon after birth a hepatitis B vaccine that, ....... contains 500 mcg. of aluminum or 147 mcg. of aluminum per kg. of body weight. If the Energix vaccine from GlaxoSmithKline is administered, the pediatric dose is 250 mcg. of aluminum as aluminum hydroxide totaling 73.5 mcg. of aluminum per kg. of body weight.
       The amount of time for these doses of aluminum to be eliminated by an infant’s immature kidneys is unknown, as is the time it takes for aluminum to transfer from muscular tissue to the bloodstream and, ultimately, into the brain. Meanwhile, the infant is continually dosed with aluminum through infant formula, and even in breastmilk but to a lesser degree.
          The average baby visiting their pediatrician for the two-month, well-baby checkup weighs 9.25 lbs. (4.2 kg.) and could receive as much as 1,475 mcg. of injected aluminum within 30 min. or 351 mcg. of aluminum per kg. of body weight. The breakdown of vaccines the pediatrician is supposed to administer follows: Hep B (250 to 500 mcg Al); Rotateq® (oral); DTaP (Infanrix® - 625 mcg Al and DAPTACEL® - 330 mcg Al); PCV - pneumococcal vaccine with 8 antigens (125 mcg. Al); Hib – haemophilus influenza type b (225 mcg. Al) and; IPV – inactivated polio vaccine.  Then, at four and six months of age, the bolus doses of aluminum continue to be injected.

Because a newborn's body contains about a liter (300 milliliters) of blood, more than 30 mcg of aluminum floating around in the bloodstream could be toxic if the baby's kidneys aren't working well. The body of a toddler or preschool-age child contains about 1 liter of blood, so more than 100 mcg in his system could be toxic—and, as we've seen, babies can receive more than 1,000 mcg of injected aluminum all at one time........

[Media 3/2006 Aluminium adjuvant] Vaccines show sinister side
Vancouver neuroscientist Chris Shaw shows a link between the aluminum hydroxide used in vaccines, and symptoms associated with Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease), and Alzheimer’s.....“This is suspicious,” he told the Georgia Straight in a phone interview from his lab near Heather Street and West 12th Avenue. “Either this [link] is known by industry and it was never made public, or industry was never made to do these studies by Health Canada. I’m not sure which is scarier.”   Similar adjuvants are used in the following vaccines, according to Shaw’s paper: hepatitis A and B, and the Pentacel cocktail, which vaccinates against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and a type of meningitis....“No one in my lab wants to get vaccinated,” he said. “This totally creeped us out. We weren’t out there to poke holes in vaccines. But all of a sudden, oh my God—we’ve got neuron death!”Another important factor with regard to mercury on the mind, which officials at the CDC, FDA and the professors in the IOM do not consider, is synergistic toxicity - mercury's enhanced effect when other poisons are present. A small dose of mercury that kills 1 in 100 rats and a dose of aluminum that will kill 1 in 100 rats, when combined have a striking effect: all the rats die. Doses of mercury that have a 1 percent mortality will have a 100 percent mortality rate if some aluminum is there. Vaccines contain aluminum.

ABSTRACT:
Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) affects a high percentage of veterans of the 1991 conflict, but its origins remain unknown. One neurological complication of GWS is an increased incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). While many environmental factors have been linked to GWS, the role of the anthrax vaccine administered to deployed troops has come under increasing scrutiny. Among the vaccine’s potentially toxic components are the adjuvant aluminum hydroxide and squalene. To examine whether these materials might contribute to neurologic toxicity, we injected young male colony CD-1 mice with these adjuvants at doses equivalent to those given to service personnel.  Mice were subjected to a battery of motor and cognitive behavioral tests over a six month period. Following sacrifice, CNS tissue was examined using immunohistochemistry for evidence of neural death. Behavioral testing showed both motor and cognitive functions were impacted by the tested adjuvants to differing degrees. Apoptotic neurons were identified in lumbar spinal cord and motor cortex in the groups receiving the adjuvants.  Aluminum injected animals also showed a significant increase of astrocytes in the lumbar spinal cord. Our findings suggest a possible role for either or both compounds in some neurological features associated with GWS.
