TDaP for Grandparents, etc.

Your child is having a baby. You can’t wait to meet your new grand baby. BUT, you’ve been told you should get a TDaP to “protect the new baby”. Is that a good idea for your health? (if you don’t want to read, skip to the end and watch the video)

There are two different vaccines on the market offered to adults. Neither has been tested to see if it could possible cause cancer, mutagenesis (gene changes) or infertility. I know you probably aren’t concerned about infertility at your age, but cancer…

  • Adacel by Sanofi Pasteur contains 330 mcg aluminum. View the complete vaccine package insert here.
  • Boostrix by GlaxoSmithKline contains 390 mcg aluminum. View the complete vaccine package insert here.

Both contain inactivated bacteria and were released in 2005 for age 10 to 64 years. Adacel is NOT approved for individuals 65 years and older. In addition to the bacterial components and the aluminum, Adacel contains “≤5 mcg residual formaldehyde, <50 ng residual glutaraldehyde and 3.3 mg (0.6% v/v) 2-phenoxyethanol (not as a preservative).”Boostrix’s other seriously concerning ingredients are: 4.5 mg of sodium chloride, ≤100 mcg of residual formaldehyde, and ≤100 mcg 382  polysorbate 80 (Tween 80). Polysorbate 80 is known to open the blood brain barrier which is why it is used in cancer therapy which attempts to target brain tumors. The combination of aluminum and polysorbate 80 could have a SERIOUS NEGATIVE IMPACT on AGING BRAINS!

Is the amount of 330 mcg or 390 mcg of aluminum safe?

There is no experimental scientific evidence of any kind that proves this amount of aluminum is safe to inject into any age person.

“Curiously, if you were to perform a simple search of the scientific literature available on aluminum hydroxide and aluminum phosphate prior to 1970, you can find studies such as this one, where it is being used to produce experimental epilepsy and seizures in monkeys. Or this one, where it was found to cause neurofibrillary degeneration of nerve cells (which is known to lead to the development of Alzheimer’s). Or this one, in which it was described that there were “difficulties” in mass-vaccinating children with aluminum-containing vaccines, due to febrile reactions, aluminum cysts at the site of injection, post-vaccination encephalopathy (brain dysfunction, disease, or disorder), paralytic poliomyelitis of the injected limb, and other unfavorable results…

There’s an endless amount of research on experimentation with aluminum for various purposes, but when it comes to real information on what might be a safe limit of injection, the literature is lacking.” Think Love Healthy

Please see the entire blog by ThinkLoveHealthy.com for a lot more detailed referenced information on the history of aluminum safety.

When it comes to injecting aluminum there is no scientific study that has ever been done to determine safe limits. Babies currently are given up to 1200 mcg of aluminum in just one ‘well baby’ visit at 2 months. This is 48 times the safe limit set by the FDA of 25 mcg. Babies receive further shots with similar amounts of aluminum repeated at 4 and 6 month visits!!

There is no evidence to say that aluminum is safe for babies, their parents, or their grandparents. There is no way to know if an individual will be adversely impacted. Aluminum is present in every brain of individuals with Alzheimer’s studied by Dr Christopher Exley. Dr Exley also found the highest levels of aluminum ever seen in the brains of those suffering with autism.

Far more could be written about whether the TDaP is even effective in preventing the transmission of pertussis bacteria to the precious new baby. If you have any doubt and are still thinking of getting it, please watch this video on the scientific basis of effectiveness of the vaccine.

I put this information together very quickly primarily to help a new good friend who is struggling with a request from her daughter in law to get the TDaP to ‘protect’ her son’s first child. We are praying the parents will seek wisdom with regard to vaccines! If you have a loved one convinced vaccines are good, I wrote this for you.

Hey Doc, What about Aluminum?

Posted on by

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.”

Aluminum in vaccines. How much? How safe?

[For an auditory reading of this blog] Edit 30 August 2023. Just realized the video my friend and fellow activist to help educate parents on vaccine reality, has been removed. Must be really really good, helpful, lifesaving information! Glad to report the blog is still here and available to read for yourself.

These basic questions should cause most parents, doctors, nurses, and grandparents to begin asking serious questions about the vaccines recommended for babies and children, especially in light of a remarkable paper just published in March 2018 which evaluates safety standards for aluminum in vaccines.[1]

Some things to note:

The DTaP shot on its own contains 170 – 625 mcg of aluminum depending on the manufacturer. You can get the exact amount from the vaccine package insert (vpi) for the brand your doctor is using. It is recommended that babies receive the DTaP at 2, 4, 6, 18 months and another shot at 4-6 years – for a total of 5 shots. Do the math: 5X the number you find in the vpi.

Some doctors like to give a combined shot like Pediarix or Pentacel because ‘it causes baby less distress to have less needles at once’ or something like that. Please note that the amount of aluminum in these shots is 850 mcg and 330 mcg respectively. Do the math if this combined shot is recommended for more than one dose for your baby.

Hepatitis B is given routinely on the first day of life – before breastfeeding is well established – and is followed up with 2 more doses for a total of 750 mcg of aluminum. Researching this disease and the history of this vaccine reveals concerning information.

Note how many doses of Hib and Pneumococcus are going to be given to your baby and do the math for those shots too.

PLEASE. Add up the total amount of aluminum that will be injected into your baby if you follow the doctors’ schedule. Do this mathematical exercise BEFORE you agree to any shot. Ask your doctor to do the math. Your doctor was not taught about the toxicity of aluminum or how it impacts the baby.

Aluminum has been considered GRAS (generally regarded as safe) and necessary – because without it there will not be the same level of blood titer increase. However, dosing for aluminum in vaccines was not worked out for safety according to the baby’s body weight. The amount of aluminum considered to be acceptable in vaccines is based on studies of INGESTION of aluminum in animals.[1]

If parents are concerned about hepatitis infections, diphtheria infections, tetanus infections, hib infections, meningitis, and pertussis infections for their brand new baby, there is a multitude of information that can help you understand and treat these illnesses in our modern day. Most of these diseases decreased in numbers and severity long before the vaccines were introduced. Similar infectious illnesses for which no vaccine was made, also decreased. Studying accurate graphs of the incidence of these infectious illnesses show that the decrease in all of them had more to do with clean water, improved sanitation practices, and better nutrition than with the vaccine. Not all doctors recommend vaccines.

You may find this latest analysis of aluminum safety in vaccines as interesting and shocking as I did.[1] I find encouragement that there are honest scientists seeking honest answers regarding the safety of aluminum in vaccines.

For more detailed information go to Reconsideration of the Immunotherapeutic Pediatric Safe Dose Levels of Aluminum by James Lyons-Weiler and Robert Ticketson, published in the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology in March 2018. Thanks to HighWire with Del Bigtree for bringing this information to my attention and to James Lyons-Weiler for researching and presenting this information.

If after reading this, you still want to inject your baby or yourself with vaccines, please read this first as it outlines ways to prepare that could possibility mitigate some of the adverse side effects of vaccines.

Is anyone investigating the safety of aluminum in vaccines? YES!

Please watch and share the following 2 minute video where Dr Chris Shaw explains what his team found in experiments of injecting aluminum in amounts equivalent to vaccines into rodents. They found a great deal of harm, particularly to the brain.

As you can see, this great Youtube was removed from YouTube. Here is a different 4 minute video containing an explanation from Dr Shaw on some of the issues of aluminum when injected. Dr Shaw is followed by Dr Exley discussing his findings after bisecting brains of individuals who had died with a diagnosis of autism.

Foremost aluminum research Dr Chris Exley discusses in this 2 minute video provides a brief explanation of the value of aluminum as a metal but the lack of safety testing for use in injecting it into the body.

The most profound and disturbing aspect of this published scientific research is the complete silence by those promoting vaccines – Pharma and regulatory agencies. Complete silence. They had no rebuttals. They had no proof to offer on the safety of aluminum. They have no defense. They continue to choose to willfully ignore the harm caused by injecting aluminum into babies. Parents, grandparents — ALL thinking people — need to inform themselves. Your doctor may also be ignorant. The CDC chooses to continue recommending vaccines despite knowing the harm.

Protect Your Baby’s Brain

As a parent your number one priority is the health of your child.

As a government organization the CDCs number one priority is to maintain their vaccine schedule – at all costs. You could call this self preservation. Their careers, income, reputation and much more are at stake. To them, the lives of a few children, or the robust health of many children are not as important as maintaining their point of view, their reputation, their existence as a government organization.

These two priorities conflict. Parents desperately need the facts.

When thinking about the health of your child, the most important thing you need to consider is how best to protect your baby’s developing brain. Our world is full of toxic assaults, so we need to be as wise as possible in reducing potential harm to our children’s brains. When thinking about vaccines, your primary question should be, ‘What are the ingredients in this, and how can they impact my baby’s brain?’

I am trying to say this in a loving gentle way, as if each one of you were one of my adult children.

Many parents and grandparents ask questions along the lines of “If you had to choose just the ‘good’ vaccines which ones would you choose?” or “If I’m going to delay and just selectively give ‘some’ vaccines, which ones are really important to give?”

My question to you, is, if the mechanism of the function of vaccines is flawed, is it not flawed across the board? If the basic understanding of the immune system is flawed, if our understanding of how injecting neurotoxins and other harmful chemicals into an infant’s system is flawed, then would there be one vaccine that might be the exception?

Car Seat 2It’s like you are saying, mostly I reject ‘hocus pocus potions,’ but in the case of a couple of big bad diseases, I am sooooo terrified of them that I need to use a hocus pocus potion just for those.

Since pharmaceutical companies have no (zero, nada, nothing) liability for their vaccines, they have no incentive for improving safety and efficacy. The safety studies required for vaccines is significantly less than what is required for pharmaceutical drugs – and we all know at least some of the horror stories of drugs that were approved for use, but later recalled for the harm, or death, they caused. We have all heard of at least one of the many lawsuits and cases brought against pharmaceutical companies for one reason or another. Most of them have paid incredibly large fines for admissions of guilt. All these facts combined, yet we still trust these companies? We still support their products and believe they are only going to provide what is good for our precious babies?

When we decide to give our child a ‘delayed’ or ‘selective’ vaccine schedule, is it because, in this case, in this one instance for this one disease, I’m sure they’ve made a good product; I am sure that this vaccine I am choosing to voluntarily inject in my baby or child will safely deliver the protection I desperately seek?

Please examine the logic in this. Here are some searching questions:

  • Is this a response of overwhelming fear that has hit me as a result of the media hype, or my social circle hype? Any action prompted by fear should be carefully examined.
  • Am I basing my decision on facts and available evidence?
  • Do I understand exactly how the immune system develops? (see Dr Suzanne Humphries brilliant lectures which thoroughly examine the science of the infant’s immune development.)
  • Have I read the latest science that shows the amazing link between the gut and the brain, microorganisms and health, etc.?
  • Have I fully read every package insert for all the shots I am considering? Have I concluded that the potential benefit outweighs the risk, or am I merely going on the advice of my ‘very nice doctor‘, or a ‘very pushy’ family member?
  • Do I know all the ingredients in the shot that I am considering for my child?
  • Have I researched these ingredients and the impact they could have especially on my baby’s brain?
  • If my child were to develop the illness I fear, is there a safe, effective, non harmful treatment option?

Dr Nils Bergman, pioneer of Kangaroo Mother Care, emphasizes that the most important role of parents is to protect the brain of their baby. The parent alone is the primary steward of the infant/child brain. Your number one job is to protect your baby’s brain from all outside attack. Pregnant women spend nine months carefully protecting their unborn baby from all types of potential harm. Wise parents don’t allow a stranger to hold their baby. Someone without experience of a brand new baby often doesn’t understand the important of supporting an infant’s head and neck. That’s why we are so careful. We carefully monitor when our older children want to hold the new baby. Also, a parent would never knowingly allow anything into the mount of their baby that could harm the brain.

Parents spend hours researching car seats because they want to make sure baby’s brain will be protected in the event of a crash. Parents insist their children wear bike helmets to protect their brain while biking!

In the same way, make sure you have done a thorough job of understanding the impact of every single vaccine you think about injecting into your baby. Think especially about the impact it could have on your baby’s brain.
