Aluminum and Vaccines — A Brain-Destroying Duo, Says Top Doc

Aluminum has been added to vaccines for about 90 years in the belief it spurs the body to produce disease-fighting antibodies. But aluminum is toxic, and many common vaccines, including pneumonia, tetanus, and HPV, contain large doses. The result is children are getting amounts that are much higher than those considered safe by regulatory agencies, and adults are adding to the lifetime cumulative amounts of aluminum in their bodies. These megadoses can have a devastating effect on the brain, says Newsmax Health expert Dr. Russell Blaylock, causing everything from brain damage in children to Alzheimer's in adults.

"Aluminum is toxic," Dr. Blaylock tells Newsmax Health. "Compelling research has demonstrated that aluminum is an accumulative neurotoxin, even in small concentrations. It has a tendency to concentrate in the hippocampus, an area of the brain vital to crucial functions including learning, memory, and behavior.

"Recent articles on aluminum have shown that aluminum in vaccines is producing severe problems in the brains of developing children," he says. "The evidence is overwhelming, but many officials and doctors ignore it. They refuse to look at the evidence because it scares them — it's powerful evidence.

"Of the 36 vaccines children get, 18 of them contain aluminum," says Dr. Blaylock. "One article showed that children get doses 46 times higher than those considered safe by government agencies."

Mainstream medicine promotes vaccines to protect children from being crippled or dying from childhood diseases, says Dr. Blaylock. "But that's very rare," he says. "And you're talking about giving perfectly healthy children a vaccine that will cause their brains to develop abnormally, and they will essentially be neurologically ruined for the rest of their lives.

"How can you justify destroying perfectly normal children when the diseases you are fighting are far less common than the complications from the vaccine itself?" he asks.

"It doesn't make sense," he says. "You don't go out and damage the brains of millions of children because 200 children might die from a particular infection." In addition to neurological damage, vaccines suppress the immune system, says Blaylock.

Adults, who are being encouraged to have a number of vaccines that contain aluminum,

don't fare any better than children. "Older adults have a lifetime of aluminum accumulation, and their defense systems are much weaker, so they are much more susceptible to the toxic effects of aluminum than younger brains," he says.

"As we age, our brain becomes progressively more inflamed, and aluminum accelerates and magnifies that inflammation," says Dr. Blaylock. "There is also powerful evidence that aluminum worsens the effects of other toxins, such as pesticides, herbicides, mercury, and fluoride. In essence, accumulating aluminum is making your brain age faster. "You're inducing all sorts of neurological disorders including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS.

Common vaccines that contain aluminum include:

• DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) — 625 mcg

• Hepatitis B — 375 mcg

• Hepatitis A — 250 mcg

• Hib (haemophilus influenza type B) — 225 mcg

• PVC (pneumococcoal conjugate vaccine) — 125 mcg

• HPV— Gardasil contains 225 mcg in each of the three required doses.

"For years, everyone ignored the dangers of aluminum in vaccines and focused on the mercury, especially as a cause of autism," says Dr. Blaylock. "I said they needed to start thinking about the aluminum in vaccines and their effect on the brain, and now, after many years, they're beginning to take notice.

The incidence of neurological disorders like Alzheimer's, ALS, Parkinson's, and multiple sclerosis is exploding, says Dr. Blaylock: "It's not due to the aging of the population. It's due to toxins, like aluminum in vaccines, and no one's telling the truth."
