Mercury isn't the Only Toxic Item in Vaccines
The aluminum hydroxide used in many vaccines has been linked to
symptoms associated with Parkinson's, ALS, and Alzheimer's.
Aluminum hydroxide, which stimulates immune response, has been
used for 80 years in vaccines such as those for hepatitis A and B,
and the Pentacel cocktail for diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and
meningitis.
Scientists discovered the link after injecting mice with an anthrax
vaccine developed for the first Gulf War. After 20 weeks, a fifth of
the mice developed a skin allergy, and memory problems increased
by 41 times compared to a placebo group. Also, inside the brains of
mice, 35 percent of the cells that control movement were destroyed.
U.S. drugmakers are currently testing aluminum hydroxide as an
additive in flu shots, even though a recent study of the efficacy of
avian flu vaccine found that it only worked roughly 50 percent of the
time, and then only at a dose roughly 12 times what is typically given
for a seasonal flu vaccine.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:
Vaccines are a very controversial element of medicine. There is nearly
universal acceptance by the conventional medical community that
they are one of the greatest examples of preventive medicine.
However, most fail to appreciate the clear and present danger from
many of the toxic vaccine additives like mercury. Mercury is one of
the reasons autism skyrocketed in the last 10 years and started to
decrease once some of the vaccines eliminated mercury.
However, when mercury is removed it is typically replaced with
another toxic additive that is frequently just as health-harming.
Topping the list is aluminum hydroxide. What makes this news even
more alarming is that drugmakers are now testing aluminum
hydroxide in flu shots.
Aluminum hydroxide is only one harmful additive among many --
think MSG and phenoxyethanol (used to make antifreeze) -- that are
found in vaccines. No wonder drugmakers were angling to be
protected from lawsuits in a bill passed late last year by the House
for a non-exisitent flu epidemic.
Drugs such as Tamiflu and Relenza are an ineffective solution for an
imaginary problem, the avian flu hoax. But as a result of this hoax,
you run the real risk of receiving a vaccine loaded with aluminum
hydroxide, thimerosal (the mercury-based preservative), other
dangerous additives, or just one that was improperly made.
So there are plenty of harmful ingredients that you would never miss
by you or your children avoiding immunizations.
If you are on the fence about immunizations and have yet to
conclude if they are something you or your family should have, I
would strongly encourage you to carefully examine the evidence.
This is not a choice you want to make without careful deliberation, as
the consequences can be quite severe. So, review the literature and
reach YOUR OWN conclusions. You are responsible for your own
health.
Avoid being manipulated and deceived by multinational corporations
that do not have your or your family's best interests in mind.
