Mercury In Vaccines Was Replaced With Something Even MORE Toxic


The short, eye-opening eBook linked below is titled Aluminum in
Vaccines -- a Neurological Gamble, by Neil Miller, director of the
Thinktwice Global Vaccine Institute. It documents the hazards associated
with aluminum-laden vaccines. Children are receiving high concentrations
of aluminum in their shots. This well-documented neurotoxin may be more
dangerous than mercury.

Vaccines containing high concentrations of neurotoxic aluminum
were added to the child immunization schedule when several vaccines
containing mercury were removed. Two-month old babies now receive 1,225
mcg of aluminum from their vaccines -- 50 times higher than safety
levels! Although the FDA, CDC and World Health Organization are aware of
the dangers, they expect parents to play Russian roulette with their
children.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:
When mercury was removed from many vaccines (except the flu
vaccine) years ago, it was under the false guise that finally vaccines
were now safe. What health agencies did not want you to know is that
there are many other toxic additives still in vaccines, and one of them
is aluminum.

Aluminum has not received the widespread media attention
that mercury has, therefore many people don’t realize it’s a health risk.

“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,” said Dr. John Clements,
WHO vaccine advisor.


Notice he said that aluminum is “not perceived” by the
public as a dangerous metal … he couldn’t say simply that aluminum is
safe, because this would be a lie.

Why is Aluminum Added to Vaccines?

Every vaccine has two components, the agent that you’re
seeking to elicit an immune response to, such as a measles virus, and an
immune adjuvant, which enhances the immune response and is typically
made from a variety of highly toxic compounds including aluminum
compounds, MSG, and mercury. The purpose of immune adjuvants is to boost
your immune system, or to make it react as intensely as possible for as
long as possible.

Unlike a natural immune boost that would come from, say,
eating healthy and exercising, artificial immune adjuvants can be
dangerous in and of themselves. Says Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D., a
board-certified neurosurgeon and author:


“Studies have shown that these adjuvants, from a single
vaccine, can cause immune overactivation for as long as two years. This
means that the brain microglia remain active as well, continuously
pouring out destructive chemicals.

In fact, one study found that a single injection of an
immune activating substance could cause brain immune overactivation for
over a year. This is very destructive.”


How Aluminum Can Harm Your Brain

When you or your child is injected with a vaccine, the
aluminum compounds it contains accumulate not only at the site of
injection but travel to your brain and accumulate there.

In your brain, aluminum enters neurons and glial cells (astrocytes and
microglia).

Studies have shown that aluminum can activate microglia and
do so for long periods, which means that the aluminum in your
vaccination is priming your microglia to overreact.

The next vaccine acts to trigger the enhanced inflammatory
reaction and release of the excitotoxins, glutamate and quinolinic acid,
Dr. Blaylock points out.

t-to-eat-processed-foods.aspx

Meanwhile, if you come down with an infection, are exposed
to more toxins, or have a stroke or head injury of any kind, this will
magnify the inflammatory reaction occurring in your brain due to the
vaccines. Research has shown that the more your immune system remains
activated, the more likely it is you’ll suffer from a neurodegenerative
disease.

The aluminum hydroxide used in many vaccines, including
hepatitis A and B, and the Pentacel cocktail for diphtheria, pertussis,
tetanus, polio, and meningitis, has been clearly linked to symptoms
associated with Parkinson's, ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), and Alzheimer's.

Scientists discovered the link after injecting mice with an
anthrax vaccine developed for the first Gulf War. After 20 weeks, a
fifth of the mice developed a skin allergy, and memory problems
increased by 41 times compared to a placebo group. Also, inside the
brains of mice, 35 percent of the cells that control movement were
destroyed.

There is overwhelming evidence that chronic immune
activation in your brain, as discussed by Dr. Blaylock above, is a major
cause of damage in numerous degenerative brain disorders, from multiple
sclerosis Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's and ALS, which may explain
the link between aluminum-containing vaccines and these diseases.

Late last year a team of scientists also found that
vaccination involving aluminum-containing adjuvants could trigger the
cascade of immunological events
http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/Vaccine-Adjuvant-Linked-to-Chronic-Fatigu\
e-Syndrome-72612.aspx
that are associated with autoimmune conditions, including chronic
fatigue syndrome and macrophagic myofasciitis, a condition that causes
profound weakness and multiple neurological syndromes, one of which
closely resembles multiple sclerosis.

Even a study in Pediatrics,
http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/97/3/413
the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, admitted that:

“Aluminum is now being implicated as interfering with a
variety of cellular and metabolic processes in the nervous system and in
other tissues.”

This has led some experts to suggest that aluminum in
vaccines may be linked to autism.

Just How Much Aluminum Could Your Child be Exposed To?

If you are a parent of a young child I highly recommend you
read the entire eBook linked above, as it spells out very clearly just
how much aluminum will be injected into your child if you follow the
Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) vaccine schedule.

In short, babies who follow the recommended vaccination
schedule are injected with nearly 5,000 mcg (5 mg) of aluminum by the
time they are just 1.5 years old.

The FDA considers levels of aluminum up to 0.85mg to be
“safe,” so you do the math on the risk involved here.

For parents, the issue of what to do about these risks can
be very confusing. So please do take your time to thoroughly research
the risks of vaccinations before making up your mind. Dr. Blaylock’s
article, The Danger of Excessive Vaccination During Brain Development:
The Case for a Link to Autism Spectrum Disorders, is an excellent
starting point that I highly recommend.
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/04/01/the-dangers-of-exc\
essive-childhood-vaccinations.aspx

If you’re looking for a more sensible, “user-friendly”
vaccination schedule that may present fewer risks than the CDC’s
“one-size-fits-all” schedule, Dr. Donald Miller advises the following:
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2004/12/29/vaccination-schedu\
le-part-one.aspx

1. No vaccinations until your child is 2 years old.
2. No vaccines that contain thimerosal (mercury).
3. No live virus vaccines.
4. The following vaccines should be given one at a
time (not as a combination vaccine), every six months, beginning at age 2:

a. Pertussis (acellular, not whole cell)
b. Diphtheria
c. Tetanus
d. Polio (the Salk vaccine, cultured in human cells)


And that would be pretty much it as far as vaccinations.
Your pediatrician will not like this schedule, but if you have reviewed
the evidence and still feel your child should be inoculated to a certain
degree, this is a far safer alternative to the standard vaccination
schedule. If your pediatrician doesn’t agree, or isn’t open to
discussing this issue with you, it’s high time to find a new one who
will understand your concerns.
