This post was prepared with essential input from my friend, Katie Walker.

Ask your pediatrician these 10 questions, report back to me, and I will buy you dinner!

(Disclaimer, prepare for an awkward meeting with your doctor because most do not know the critically important answers, which are listed below.)

1. What is the amount of aluminum considered, but not proven, to be safe to inject into an infant per FDA guidelines?

2. What is the amount of aluminum injected into children’s bodies via vaccines? And which vaccines contain aluminum?

3. What is the main purpose of having aluminum in vaccines?

4. Is aluminum neurotoxic?

5. Has the amount of aluminum contained in the current CDC recommended vaccine schedule been tested for safety?

6. Are there long-term studies demonstrating the safety of aluminum in vaccines?

7. Which ingredient in vaccines allows the blood brain barrier to be penetrated by aluminum?

8. Can an abundance of neurotoxins in the body cause neurological damage?

9. Is Autism proven to be caused by neurological damage?

10. What is the current rate of Autism in the United States?

Answers…

1. 25 mcg for an infant for aluminum in an IV.[1][2][3] The limit for vaccines has been arbitrarily established at 850 mcg.[4]

2. 250-800 mcg per vaccine. Aluminum containing vaccines: Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis), HPV, Polio, Pneumococcal, and Meningococcal B.[5]

3. To elicit an immune response. [6]

4. Peer reviewed studies from NIH confirm the neurotixicty of aluminum. [7][8][9][10]

5. No [no citations because no citations exist to demonstrate safety of the current recomended vaccine schedule].

6. No [no citations because no citations exist on the longterm safety of aluminum]. Damage from aluminum exposure has been cited.[11][12]

7. Polysorbate 80, an ingredient in vaccines.[13] Glyphosate is another. Glyphosate is the main active ingredient found within Monsanto’s “Roundup,” a herbicide which is now ubiquitous and has been implicated in neurological damage of both ASD and Alzheimers.[14]

8. Peer reviewed studies from NIH confirm yes [15]

9. Peer reviewed studies from NIH confirm yes [16]

10. 1 in every 59 children have been diagnosed as ASD. This data comes from a 2018 CDC report which investigated children born in 2006 and represents exponential growth.[17]

Please take some time to research the topic of Aluminum in vaccines… You can begin by reading all the cited research papers in the footnotes. No parent, no doctor desires to harm a baby. Yet, if we haven’t fully explored aluminum impact on the body, we may be doing just that.

[1] “The aluminum content of large volume parenteral (LVP) drug products used in total parenteral nutrition (TPN) therapy must not exceed 25 micrograms per litre ([micro]g/L).” https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=201.323

[2] “Aluminum may reach toxic levels with prolonged parenteral administration [this means injected into the body] if kidney function is impaired . . . Research indicates that patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates [babies], who received parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per day, accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity [for a tiny newborn, this toxic dose would be 10 to 20 micrograms, and for an adult it would be about 350 micrograms]. Tissue loading may occur at even lower rates of administration.” [Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration, Document NDA 19-626/S-019, Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for Dextrose Injections.]

[3] “A single vaccine given to a six-pound newborn is the equivalent of giving a 180-pound adult 30 vaccinations on the same day. Include in this the toxic effects of high levels of aluminum and formaldehyde contained in some vaccines, and the synergist toxicity could be increased to unknown levels. Further, it is very well known that infants do not produce significant levels of bile or have adult renal capacity for several months after birth. Bilary transport is the major biochemical route by which mercury is removed from the body, and infants cannot do this very well. They also do not possess the renal (kidney) capacity to remove aluminum. Additionally, mercury is a well-known inhibitor of kidney function.”–Boyd Haley Ph.D.

[4] “The 850 μg of aluminum per vaccine FDA amount was derived from data that demonstrated that this amount of aluminum per dose enhanced the antigenicity and effactiveness of the vaccine [9,10], but does not include safety considerations.” Reconsideration of the immunotherapeutic… (PDF Download Available).

[5] Aluminum amounts:
Hib (PedVaxHib brand only) – 225 mcg per shot
Hepatitis B – 250 mcg
DTaP – depending on the manufacturer, 170 to 625 mcg
Pneumococcus – 125 mcg
Hepatitis A – 250 mcg
HPV – 225 mcg
Pentacel (DTaP, HIB and Polio combo vaccine) – 330 mcg
Pediarix (DTaP, Hep B and Polio combo vaccine) – 850 mcg
At birth, most children are given the hepatitis B vaccination. The amount of aluminum in the Hepatitis B vaccine alone is almost 14 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF ALUMINUM THAT IS FDA-APPROVED. A baby who receives all recommended vaccines will be injected with 4,925 mcg of aluminum by 18 months.

[6] “An adjuvant is a substance that enhances the antigen-specific immune response, induces the release of inflammatory cytokines, and interacts with Toll-like receptors and the NALP3 inflammasome. The immunological consequence of these actions is to stimulate the innate and adaptive immune response. The activation of the immune system by adjuvants, a desirable effect, could trigger manifestations of autoimmunity or autoimmune disease. Recently, a new syndrome was introduced, autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA), that includes post vaccination phenomena, macrophagic myofasciitis, Gulf War syndrome and siliconosis.”

[13] Polysorbate 80 allows neurotoxins to permeate BBB: “Polysorbate 80 allows neurotoxins (like the aluminum in vaccines) and nano particles (both noted separately in the study) to permeate the rBMEC’s (rat brain microvascular endothelial cells), otherwise known as blood brain barrier, at lower levels than the neurotoxin or the nano particle alone. So, in itself Polysorbate 80 is not neurotoxic, but when combined with known neurotoxins, it creates a pathway for brain penetration.”
