It is found in all tissues and is also believed to play an important role in the development of a healthy fetus.<\/strong>\u201c<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This statement was reviewed by CHOP\u2019s Chief of Infectious Diseases \u2014\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2009\/06\/25\/vaccine-doctor-given-at-least-30-million-dollars-to-push-vaccines.aspx\">the staunch vaccine advocate and vaccine patent holder<\/a> Paul Offit, MD, who\u2019s also notorious for claiming that an infant can theoretically tolerate 10,000 vaccines at once.<\/p>\n<p>Here is another statement from CHOP about aluminum:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201c<strong>Given the quantities of aluminum we are exposed to on a daily basis, the quantity of aluminum in vaccines is miniscule. Aluminum-containing vaccines have been used for decades and have been given to over one billion people without problem.<\/strong>\u201c<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But as Suzanne Humphries points out, eating and injecting aluminum are\u00a0in no way the same things. When we ingest aluminum through various sources, we only absorb about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.atsdr.cdc.gov\/toxguides\/toxguide-22.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">1 percent<\/a> of it.<\/p>\n<p>When injected intramuscularly, however, our bodies absorb close to 100% of the aluminum.<\/p>\n<p>A 2010 study <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/20010978\" target=\"_blank\">published<\/a> in the <em>Journal of Exposure Science &amp; Environmental Epidemiology\u00a0<\/em>found that\u00a0breastfed infants receiving a full recommended schedule of immunizations showed an exceedingly high exposure of Al (225 to 1750 \u03bcg per dose) when compared with estimated levels absorbed from breast milk alone (2.0 \u03bcg).<\/p>\n<p>A 2011 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/21423554\" target=\"_blank\">paper <\/a>by Dr. Kawahara had the following to say about aluminum:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cWhilst being environmentally abundant, aluminum is not essential for life. On the contrary, aluminum is a widely recognized neurotoxin that inhibits more than 200 biologically important functions and causes various adverse effects in plants, animals and humans.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>How Aluminum Affects Our Body<\/h3>\n<p>Humphries points out that aluminum has a number of side-effects inside the body, which include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>DNA alterations, abnormal regulation of gene function, and gene expression interference.<\/li>\n<li>It damages cell membranes, and causes your myelin \u2014 the insulating layer around your nerves \u2014 to stiffen and become dysfunctional.<\/li>\n<li>By binding to adenosine triphosphate (ATP), it affects your energy metabolism.<\/li>\n<li>Increased vascular endothelial adhesiveness and increased cardiovascular disease risk.<\/li>\n<li>Coagulation of proteins, which may alter their function.<\/li>\n<li>Enhanced excitotoxicity in your brain, and increased <a href=\"http:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2012\/04\/11\/vaccination-impact-on-childrens-health.aspx\">brain inflammation<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As Dr. Humphries points out, molecular biologists have also clearly demonstrated that exposure to aluminum skews your immune system to the Th2, or antibody driven immune system, which drives allergic responses.<\/p>\n<h3>How Much Aluminum Are We Getting From Vaccines Today?<\/h3>\n<p>Like <a href=\"http:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2015\/03\/31\/aluminum-vaccines.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Mercola<\/a> explains, mercury may be on its way out of vaccines, but the use of aluminum\u00a0is on the rise.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cThe number of aluminum-containing vaccines children receive\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nvic.org\/Downloads\/4507NVIC11x17HIRES.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">today<\/a>\u00a0has quadrupled over the past 30 years. In the 1970s, children got only four aluminum-containing vaccines in their first 18 months of life, but now they typically receive 17.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Similarly, in her lecture Dr. Humphries reveals the startling amount of aluminum a US child receives today compared to only a few decades prior,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cBy the age of 18 months, that infant has already received 4,925 micrograms (mcg) of aluminum, 100 percent of which is absorbed since it\u2019s given intramuscularly.\u00a0In the 1980s the amount of aluminum you got when following the childhood vaccination schedule amounted to 1,120 mcg, and importantly, it was given in more mature babies, not newborns. Today, American children end up getting a grand total of 6,150 mcg of aluminum if they get all of their recommended vaccines.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Humphries also explains how an oft-cited <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/12184359\" target=\"_blank\">study<\/a> used to \u201cprove\u201d the safety of aluminum\u00a0exposure\u00a0was actually very misleading.<\/p>\n<p>To assess whether or not diet and vaccines in combination might result in dangerously high aluminum levels, the researchers looked at studies on rodents who<em>ingested<\/em> aluminum, and one study involving ONE healthy man with normal kidney function who received 0.7 mcg injected directly into his blood stream \u2014 a tiny<em>fraction <\/em>of what babies get. Aluminum received intravenously is much more easily handled than aluminum received intramuscularly.<\/p>\n<p>The aluminum he got was also a less toxic form than that used in vaccines. Several vaccines\u00a0which\u00a0are on the childhood vaccine schedule were also left out of Dr. Keith\u2019s theoretical risk calculation. Based on all this questionable data, it was concluded that between diet and vaccines, the aluminum burden children are exposed to is unlikely to do harm.<\/p>\n<p>Another important and overlooked factor is that infants have\u00a0reduced kidney function, and therefore cannot excrete heavy metals as efficiently as someone with more mature organs.<\/p>\n<h3>What Happens When Vaccine Adjuvants\u00a0Meets Glyphosate<\/h3>\n<p>In a 2014\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/people.csail.mit.edu\/seneff\/Shaw_et_al_JOT_2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">paper<\/a> published in the journal\u00a0<em>Toxicology<\/em>, Dr. Stephanie Seneff\u00a0addresses the toxic effects of aluminum and another common adjuvant, glutamate, on biological systems and their dangerous capacity to form \u201ctoxic complexes\u201d with other chemicals.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cGlutamate is toxic to autistic kids, because they don\u2019t have enough manganese. So when that extra glutamate is injected in through the vaccine, it goes to the brain, because of the influence of glyphosate [the signature herbicide used by Monsanto]. Glyphosate actually opens up the barriers\u2014the gut barrier and the brain barrier\u2014to allow [toxins] to get in\u2026 The two are working synergistically\u2026 The glyphosate is depleting the manganese, which is causing the glutamate to be toxic, and the glyphosate is causing the glutamate to go into the brain\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She also elaborates on the combination of aluminum and glyphosate,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cGlyphosate chelates aluminum, effectively \u2018hiding\u2019 the aluminum molecule inside the glyphosate molecule. When \u2018caged\u2019 within glyphosate in this way, the aluminum gets even easier access to sensitive areas because, as mentioned, glyphosate opens up your gut- and brain barriers.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Why Haven\u2019t The Dangers Of Aluminum Been Properly Addressed?<\/h3>\n<p>At the end of Dr. Humphries lecture, she addresses the big question: Why are we still using aluminum in vaccines if it is so dangerous?<\/p>\n<p>Her response seems fitting,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cAssessment of the safety of aluminum in vaccines is important because replacement of aluminum compounds in currently licensed vaccines would necessitate the introduction of a completely new compound that would have to be investigated before licensing. No obvious candidates to replace aluminum are available, so withdrawal for safety reasons would severely affect the immunogenicity and protective effects of some currently licensed vaccines and threaten immunization programs worldwide.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Check out Dr. Humphries\u2019s informative lecture below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LZe99K12740?start=0&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;theme=light\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>What are you thoughts on aluminum in vaccines?
