VACCINES: Taking A Closer Look At The Ingredients And Their Effects (WEEKLY SERIES)

in #vaccines7 years ago (edited)

This series examines vaccine ingredients and their dangers one by one.  Today we will examine aluminum.

Aluminum Adjuvants

On a list of vaccine ingredients provided by the CDC (listed in the sources at the bottom of this article), some form of aluminum is present in 28 different vaccines.  Two of the most common are aluminum hydroxide and aluminum phosphate.

You might be wondering…..Why the heck do they put aluminum in vaccines?

Well, the answer the medical mafia will give you is that….. 

From the FDA

Aluminum is incorporated into some vaccines as an adjuvant.  The purpose of formulating vaccines with adjuvants is to increase the immune response to the antigen (the component of the vaccine that stimulates the immune system to make antibodies).   

Sounds reasonable enough, right? But now let’s take a close look at the harmful physical effects that aluminum has on human bodies.    

We’ll look to Doctor Mercola this week to help us find more medical info on aluminum.

From mercola.com

Aluminum is neurotoxic, targeting your central nervous system, which can lead to serious immunological and neurodegenerative disorders.

Aluminum has been long known to be neurotoxic, with mounting evidence that chronic exposure is a factor in many neurological diseases, including dementia, autism, and Parkinson's disease.

Studies on adults show aluminum is still present three years after intravenous administration.

Once the aluminum is injected, it’s gobbled up by immune cells (macrophages), which act like Trojan horses, allowing the aluminum entry into your brain by carrying it through the blood brain barrier.

Some of you might be saying…..but wait, that’s just one guy’s opinion! 

And I would agree with you.  We should verify with more sources.

Ok, so let’s go to the National Institutes Of Health and see what they say.

We have examined the neurotoxicity of aluminum in humans and animals under various conditions, following different routes of administration, and provide an overview of the various associated disease states. The literature demonstrates clearly negative impacts of aluminum on the nervous system across the age span. In adults, aluminum exposure can lead to apparently age-related neurological deficits resembling Alzheimer's and has been linked to this disease and to the Guamanian variant, ALS-PDC. Similar outcomes have been found in animal models. In addition, injection of aluminum adjuvants in an attempt to model Gulf War syndrome and associated neurological deficits leads to an ALS phenotype in young male mice. In young children, a highly significant correlation exists between the number of pediatric aluminum-adjuvanted vaccines administered and the rate of autism spectrum disorders. Many of the features of aluminum-induced neurotoxicity may arise, in part, from autoimmune reactions, as part of the ASIA syndrome. 


AND 

Aluminum hydroxide injections lead to motor deficits and motor neuron degeneration.

Upon reviewing all of this evidence, I think the choice for myself is easy.  I won’t inject aluminum into my body.

One last question to chew on, though.  Could there be a more sinister reason that aluminum is put in vaccines?

Thanks for your time and attention! And thanks for caring!



 

Sort:  

Also, the "supplements" are not innocent too. For example, almost ALL Medications (drugs) have "titanium dioxide" in them (for colouring) - It's a carcinogen. Unbelievable. For example, you take a pill for cholesterol and it has "titanium dioxide".. You take a multi-vitamin and it has "titanium dioxide" in it. Unfortunately there are so many examples.

Wow, thanks for that. I didn't know about titanium dioxide. I'll have to do further research. Steem on!

Thank you for this information i'm agree with you as with any medication, there are possible risks and side effects associated with vaccines. However, the risk of serious allergic reaction is very rare. In comparison, the risk of severe complications, hopsitalization or death from vaccine-preventable disease is much greater. The benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.

Vaccines undergo rigorous safety testing prior to being approved by the FDA and are continually monitored for safety. All vaccine ingredients are tested to be safe. Vaccines are also studied to be administered together, to work in conjunction to safely prompt your child's immune sytem to build protection.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in most cases vaccine side effects are minor and go away within a few days. Side effects vary according to vaccine type, but generally mild side effects may include:
Pain, redness, tenderness or swelling at injection site
Fatigue
Headache
Itching at injection site
Nausea
Dizziness or fainting (most common in adolescents)
Fever
Mild rash

Please do more research.

Thanks for reading and for the comment.

Is either one of the reasons given is incorrect . But which do we follow . But to avoid some of these vaccines. Live simply and live natural. Thanks anyway for sharing

Live naturally, yes, I concur. Cheers

I sure hope you don't drink any beverages from an aluminium can! It's going to rot your brain and if the aluminium didn't already get you the di-hydrogen-monoxide definitely will!

dihydrogen monoxide

Typical troll comment^ Aluminum is much more harmful when injected. Duh! Though it's still toxic from cans. Why do think there are so many neurological problems today? 1 in 6 kids today have a developmental disability. There's something terribly wrong with the average person's health, so don't act like the author is just paranoid for no reason. The people you get your advice from have no idea why we're all so sick. Could it be the neurotoxins we're injecting into our babies and pregnant mothers without adequate testing? It's not so far fetched ya know.

LOL, great response! I usually just ignore trolls, but your reply was masterful. Thanks for that.

Actually I'm just testing you to see if he was reading comments. No point in wasting time arguing with someone who will hit and run.

And my point about aluminium in cans and di-hydrogen-monoxide are serious ones. There are toxic levels of exposure of everything - yes aluminium but also water. And I'm not tallking about drowning - people can and do die from drinking too much water. I'm sure you know that.

Which means it is vital to look at exposure levels and consider statistics - so you can't just cherry pick data that supports your case either.

Why is it that someone would cite and apparently believe hook line and sinker the output of Humphries and Mercola, and yet omit the conclusions of the FDA report linked to, instead just citing a paragraph about toxicity pathways of aluminum out of context?

For the record here is what the FDA link provided says:

Vaccines containing an aluminum adjuvant have a demonstrated safety profile of over six decades of use and have only uncommonly been associated with severe local reactions.

The FDA study found that the maximum amount of aluminum an infant could be exposed to over the first year of life would be 4.225 milligrams (mg), based on the recommended schedule of vaccines. Federal Regulations for biological products (including vaccines) limit the amount of aluminum in the recommended individual dose of biological products, including vaccines, to not more than 0.85-1.25 mg. For example, the amount of aluminum in the hepatitis B vaccine given at birth is 0.25 mg.

Aluminum is found naturally in large quantities in the environment, often consumed through drinking water or ingesting certain foods, such as infant formula. Using the updated parameters, the authors found that the body burden of aluminum from vaccines and diet throughout an infant’s first year of life is significantly less than the corresponding safe body burden of aluminum, based on the minimal risk levels established by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.

Furthermore, many infants might not receive the entire series of recommended vaccines or the particular combination of vaccines that delivers the maximum amount of aluminum. Therefore, it is likely that some infants will have even lower aluminum levels than calculated in this study and will be at even lower risk for exposure to aluminum through vaccination.

However, it's your bodies, do what you want with it. From the sound of it most commenters here will find the homeopathic "remedies" peddled by Humphries and Mercola's far more agreeable. They are after all just pure but highly profitable di-hydrogen-monoxide placebos. Well lets hope they are actually pure and don't contain any aluminum or any of the toxins that the homeopaths say they contain "memories" of.

Finally:

Could there be a more sinister reason that aluminum is put in vaccines?

Why does anyone feel the need to drop a completely speculative and unsubstantiated comment like this at the end of a post of they are expecting to be taken seriously? Is it just bait to attract conspiracy theory troll upvotes? When you dump a turd like that at the end of what might otherwise have been an honest attempt at pseudo research you are begging to be bucketed with the pizzagate and flat-earth crowd.

PS. The latest "study" on aluminum in vaccines Subcutaneous injections of aluminum at vaccine adjuvant levels activate innate immune genes in mouse brain that are homologous with biomarkers of autism that everyone who is a "believer" is jumping on is now due to be retracted due to serious issues questioning its validity. And guess who this article is by? Shaw and Tomljenovic (plus Li this time) who published one of the articles cited above by the OP.

This will be the second article on aluminum they have had to retract and that's a big deal. It's bad enough to cherry pick science, but to cherry pick bad science by those with a track record for bad science... tsk, tsk!

I appreciate your bringing awareness to this. I think heavy metals like aluminum and mercury (which is also in vaccines) create massive signaling challenges within cells and within the nervous system as a whole. They create favorable conditions for different types of viruses and bacteria, and they seem to be strongly linked to Autism, ADHD, Alzheimers, Depression, Dementia and fibromyalgia just to name a few... And many lesser emotional/ focus issues... And, it's great living in a Country without Polio. So far as I can figure it, probably best to keep kids getting the major vaccines and slap your doctor when they suggest a flu shot. And make sure to integrate things like cilantro, spirulina and chlorella into our diets to constantly pull metals out, because this is far from our only exposure. We get them en masse through our diets, fungicides, herbicides, and most likely through home cleaners, yard sprays etc... It is what it is, so we do our best ; )

aha! so its aluminium that is the main culprit of aiding to the growing number of children getting autism after they get an injection?

I don't know if it's the main culprit, but it definitely is a contributor to many different neurological problems.
