A recent news article reported that "Cases of
[Alzheimer's-like] dementia explode globally" (1). Almost simultaneously, the
Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry published three articles implicating an
ingredient present in many vaccines, aluminum hydroxide. First, Maryline Couette
and colleagues published "Long-term persistence of vaccine-derived aluminum
hydroxide is associated with chronic cognitive dysfunction" (2).
Concurrently, Shaw and Petrik reported that "Aluminum hydroxide injections lead
to motor deficits and motor neuron degeneration". And despite the presumed
sanctity of vaccines and vaccinations, the researchers dared conclude: "The
demonstrated neurotoxicity of aluminum hydroxide and its relative ubiquity as an
adjuvant suggest that greater scrutiny by the scientific community is
warranted." (3)
Aluminum hydroxide and other aluminum compounds are a component of various
medications (4-5) and vaccines (eg, 6-10), wherein aluminum compounds serve as
an adjuvant to hyperstimulate immunity (eg, 11).
Importantly, just as aluminum hydroxide is associated with cognitive decline and
with motor neuron pathologies, and aluminum compounds are present in many
vaccines, aluminum has again been found in Alzheimer's plaques in humans (12).
Dare we ask, Who among us wants to be injected with a substance associated with
cognitive decline, motor neuron disease, and Alzheimer's?
We know who among us wants to inject aluminum compounds along with thimerosal (eg,
13-14), and squalene (eg, 15-18) under the guise of protecting our health. But
as numbers of people with dementia, rheumatoid diseases, and autism continue to
increase, perhaps time has come to desanctify vaccinationism, vaccinology,
vaccinologists and their marketing representatives acting within the FDA and
CDC.
Using vaccine ingredients to induce pathologies is an unwelcome burden on
affected individuals and their families.

2. Long-term persistence of vaccine-derived aluminum
hydroxide is associated with chronic cognitive dysfunction
Maryline Couette et al.

Macrophagic myofasciitis (MMF) is an emerging condition, characterized by
specific muscle lesions assessing long-term persistence of aluminum hydroxide
within macrophages at the site of previous immunization. Affected patients
mainly complain of arthromyalgias, chronic fatigue, and cognitive difficulties.
We designed a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests to prospectively
delineate MMF-associated cognitive dysfunction (MACD). Compared to control
patients with arthritis and chronic pain, MMF patients had pronounced and
specific cognitive impairment. MACD mainly affected (i) both visual and verbal
memory; (ii) executive functions, including attention, working memory, and
planning; and (iii) left ear extinction at dichotic listening test. Cognitive
deficits did not correlate with pain, fatigue, depression, or disease duration.
Pathophysiological mechanisms underlying MACD remain to be determined. In
conclusion, long-term persistence of vaccine-derived aluminum hydroxide within
the body assessed by MMF is associated with cognitive dysfunction, not solely
due to chronic pain, fatigue and depression.

Gulf War Syndrome is a multi-system disorder afflicting many veterans of Western
armies in the 1990–1991 Gulf War. A number of those afflicted may show
neurological deficits including various cognitive dysfunctions and motor neuron
disease, the latter expression virtually indistinguishable from classical
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) except for the age of onset. This ALS
‘‘cluster” represents the second such ALS cluster described in the literature to
date. Possible causes of GWS include several of the adjuvants in the anthrax
vaccine and others. The most likely culprit appears to be aluminum hydroxide. In
an initial series of experiments, we examined the potential toxicity of aluminum
hydroxide in male, outbred CD-1 mice injected subcutaneously in two
equivalent-to-human doses. After sacrifice, spinal cord and motor cortex samples
were examined by immunohistochemistry. Aluminum-treated mice showed
significantly increased apoptosis of motor neurons and increases in reactive
astrocytes and microglial proliferation within the spinal cord and cortex. Morin
stain detected the presence of aluminum in the cytoplasm of motor neurons with
some neurons also testing positive for the presence of hyper-phosphorylated tau
protein, a pathological hallmark of various neurological diseases, including
Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia. A second series of experiments
was conducted on mice injected with six doses of aluminum hydroxide. Behavioural
analyses in these mice revealed significant impairments in a number of motor
functions as well as diminished spatial memory capacity. The demonstrated
neurotoxicity of aluminum hydroxide and its relative ubiquity as an adjuvant
suggest that greater scrutiny by the scientific community is warranted.

the cores of senile plaques in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease

Aluminum (Al) exposure has been reported to be a risk factor for Alzheimer’s
disease (senile dementia of Alzheimer type), although the role of Al in the
etiology of Alzheimer’s disease remains controversial. We examined the presence
of Al in the Alzheimer’s brain using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy
combined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM-EDX). TEM-EDX analysis
allows simultaneous imaging of subcellular structures with high spatial
resolution and analysis of small quantities of elements contained in the same
subcellular structures. We identified senile plaques by observation using TEM
and detected Al in amyloid fibers in the cores of senile plaques located in the
hippocampus and the temporal lobe by EDX. Phosphorus and calcium were also
present in the amyloid fibers. No Al could be detected in the extracellular
space in senile plaques or in the cytoplasm of nerve cells. In this study, we
demonstrated colocalization of Al and beta-amyloid (Abeta) peptides in amyloid
fibers in the cores of senile plaques. The results support the following
possibilities in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease: Al could be
involved in the aggregation of Abeta peptides to form toxic fibrils; Al might
induce Abeta peptides into the beta-sheet structure; and Al might facilitate
iron-mediated oxidative reactions, which cause severe damage to brain tissues.
