I bought and read Mothering Magazine yesterday. It is worth it for the table of vaccines containing aluminum, one that I have not seen elsewhere. Sears talks about how aluminum was found to be toxic to preemies who were fed IV using TPN (total parenteral nutrition), and how the limit of 4-5 mcg/kg/day was established. Babies who were IV fed using traditional (ie high aluminum) TPN were found to be neurologically impaired at 18 months compared to babies who were fed using TPN where the aluminum was filtered out, down to 4-5 mcg/kg/day. So, if you do the math, a 3 kg newborn who got the Hep B (250 mcg) was WAY over the limit. Just great.

This reminded me about a little known fact in the history of medicine. Well-meaning kidney doctors trying to save the lives of their kidney failure patients found that as soon as they started dialysis, many of their patients started getting demented. The incidence of dementia varied by locality, though, suggesting an environmental effect. Finally, it was tracked down to the concentration of Al in the local municipal water supplies. Local water was used to prepare dialysis fluid, and if it happened to be high in aluminum, the patient would get very large exposure, because a lot of water is used in dialysis. This epidemic of dialysis dementia occurred in the 70's- it took a few years to figure it out- now it has been corrected, and medicine doesn't really talk about it anymore.

, do you know if they give this TPN to preemies even if the mom

brought in breastmilk? My son was in the NICU for 5 weeks after

birth!!

I don't know if preemies are given both, but I think not, because

they are trying to avoid the complications of too-early oral feeding

when using TPN.

January 4, 2008

Thanks a bunch. I took a look at the link you sent on aluminium in the

brain and was wondering if that brought about the increased ammonia we

see in the enlarged brains of a subset of the ASD kids in the first

year. That has something to do with the urea cycle as well (the

alanine - glucose cycle). I don't understand the bio-chemistry part of

it.

We were just at the DAN doctor's and our kids, of course, had high

ammonia. She said it could be a byproduct of chronic bacterial

infection, but I'll look up other causes as well.

High ammonia levels seen also from too much protein in the diet, and

you might see it more in children's who blood type is A+.

Lower the protein intake. Two products that can help, one is called

BioThyro sold thru www.emersonecologics.com

The other one is called BH-4 - long name is Tetrahydrobiogterin --its

sold in Europe - but there are a few DR's who carry it now in there

offices.

There were actually very few cases of aluminum toxicity from contaminated water

used for

the dialysis machines, the overwhelming most common source in renal patients was

oral

medicine that had aluminum that helped lower phosphorus levels in blood. TPN (IV

solutions), antacids and some formulas are a very large source of aluminum but

the

amount in these is dwarfed by the amount in vaccines. Studies in australia

showed that as

little as 2 days of antacids in premies resulted in blood levels of aluminum in

the known

toxic range. There are several reports of aluminum toxicity in children with

normal renal

function in the literature and the toxicities include things like seizures,

regression of

speech, hypotonia (floppy kids), myoclonus, etc. In my opinion, and I know few

share this

view, aluminum is potentially worse than mercury. (IMHO)

I am curious, this would be me questions to ask moms to see if their kids were

" aluminum

kids "

1) was your child premie? (means don't excrete aluminum well and may have gotten

TPN

or other IVs in the nursery, first few weeks and the ever stupid HepB vax)

2) did mom take " calcium " pills prenatally....most calcium supplements are

contaminated

with aluminum, some products just plain out have aluminum hydroxide in it

3) did you child get medicine for GERD/reflux and did that have aluminum in it?

4) did you child take a soy formula? (aluminum levels in some formulas are very

hi)

5) did your child have neonatal jaundice? ( aluminum causes liver toxicity)

5) does your child have features that are attributed to aluminum (many of these

are not

specific, but the more seen together, the more likely aluminum)

seizures, myoclunus (jerky involuntary movements, esp facial), speech problems,

hypotonia ( a floopy kid, head and truncal weaknes, etc), apnea, microcephaly,

craniosynostosis, irritability when moved as infant (sign of bone pain), labs

ever show

elevated alkaline phosphatase, microcytic anemia, calcium disturbances (hi or

lo), develop

unexplained fractures

and was there a regression after the aluminum vaxs (HepB, Prevnar, HiB,

DTaP,Pediarix)

just curious

and finally

the recent study from Hurtada showed Lipofusicin in the brains of autistic

children at

autopsy. A novel and interesting finding. Go to pubmed and type in Lipofusicn

and either

mercury or aluminum and you will see many more links to aluminum......

IF aluminum cuased this pathology than a stain for aluminum (Morin) that

identifies

Lipofuscin in proximity to Morin stained aluminum will be a big finding......

my 2 cents

January 5, 2008

If during chelation, kids have been excreting copious amounts of aluminum-couldn't that mean that they are both mercury and aluminum toxic.? And wouldn't a number of the symptoms be the same? My grandkids were both on reflux meds(one -can't remember the name) was withdrawn from the market in July of 2000 because it was dangerous for some reason-both on soy milk due to reflux and colic--and then of course the vaccines..

aluminum exposure/toxicity can cause colic because it impairs peristalsis (gut

contractions). It does this because it is toxic to the cholinergic nervous

system, autonomic

nervous system in general. This can result in constipation, bloating and reflux.

aluminum

antacids of course can make this all worse, creating a viscous cycle. Otherwise

known as

the " Golden Pharma cycle " where their treatments assure future sales.

The interpretation of the urine profile with chelation depends very much on the

agent

used.

For example, on DMPS or DMSA, IF you see aluminum, since these agents do not

remove

aluminum, the reason aluminum is there is NOT the chelator, but it is just in

the urine and

likely there is a source of ongoing high exposure.

If it is there on an EDTA challenge, then it is being pulled (probably) and this

means that

there is tissue storage or accumulation. Since lead has a higher affinity for

EDTA than

aluminum, IF lead is present, the amount of aluminum may actually be under

estimated.

btw

based upon the research/review I did and what I presented at NAA, the FDA's

suggested

limits of daily aluminum exposure is 4-5 mcg/kg/day. According to ASCN/ASPEN,

doses

above 60 mcg/kg/day are frankly toxic

the vaccines at 0, 2, 4, 6, 12 months provides between 75 and 250 mcg/kg/day

Dr. Ayoub, I happen to be the mom of a preemie and for sure know he

is an aluminum kid. It showed up first of all on hair tests when he

was on a homeopathic remedy in the initial year after diagnosis. He

was 4-5 years old at that time and it was in the red. Later as we

tried to do some sulphur based chelation - you are right - it never

showed and the hair tests did not show it any more either. It has

come up again on the EDTA IVs.

The aluminum connection became clear to me when we did Yasko and

found out about the bacterial/ aluminum problem and how it ties up

iron. My son was also found anemic in the first year and we did do

the Polyvisol (with iron) for almost a year and a half at that time.

Oh and yes there was reflux as well in the initial month as well as

explosive vomiting and he was put on both Zantac and Propulsid.

I may as well answer your questionniare below, wasn't sure if those

were rhetorical questions. Answers are in CAPS.

Thanks for doing this.

that's it-that's the drug they took off the market in July of 2000 finding it to be dangerous. Propulsid. both my grandkids were on it for reflux.

tried to do some sulphur based chelation - you are right - it never showed and the hair tests did not show it any more either. It has come up again on the EDTA IVs.The aluminum connection became clear to me when we did Yasko and found out about the bacterial/ aluminum problem and how it ties up iron. My son was also found anemic in the first year and we did do the Polyvisol (with iron) for almost a year and a half at that time.

I wanted to add to this whole aluminum talk that the most evident

first layer problems with my son came from the sycotic miasm

(Medorrhinum) for those interested in the homeopathic part of it. My

MIL has arthritis and asthma and my FIL has had bypass surgery and

his rheumatiod arthritis kicked in in his 80s. My husband has a corn

allergy as does my son.

My son has a minor syphilinum miasm from my side of the family. My

dad has had a bypass and has hypertension, my mom has anxiety and

immune system problems and the dairy allergy that she found out abut

in her 70s. My son's official autism kicked in (the auto-immune

destruction part of it) after the his strep and flu shots (mercury)

at 4 years. My family and I do have horrific psora (immune system and

associated issues).

this makes me sick. my son had an allergic reaction to milk formula

after 7 months of breast feeding so we put him on soy. it just

occurred to me that aluminum from deoderant was probably SOAKING my

breasts for years and affected my breast milk anyway? thankfully, i

ignored the idiot neurologist in town who suggests to everyone with a

child with autism to give them tums everyday for their calcium

supplementation. i heard shortly after she suggested this to us that

one kid she sees ended up puking up everything because the tums had

killed all his stomach acid.... i didn't even connect the aluminum

connection. funny thing is, i've posted here at least twice that she

was the person who said to me and another autism mom that " it's not

the mercury that caused this, but it's 'something' you girls did while

pregnant...like drinking coke or 'something' " . Now I can say maybe

she was not even aware she was onto something, like the ALUMINUM in

the coke cans (or the plastic bottles containing poison, too?)???

of course, my son got 4 HepB shots (I realized this after my

pediatrician told me that lots of doctors start the 3 series over

after they leave the hospital and ignore the fact that they already

got one in the hospital) full of mercury and aluminum and was slightly

jaundiced after we got home, just bad enough to set him in the sun at

first. i could go on. lots of thrush, slept ALL THE TIME, 4 hour

naps at least, huge speech issues, you get the pic. when will this end.

My twins, both preemies, were given TPN at first - then when started

feeding at times were given TPN and milk. My one was on TPN lines for

7 weeks due to NEC - he is the ASD one - also is high in Alumnium.

NEC is Necrotizing enterocolitis an infection that causes

destruction of intestinal tissue. Initially, the affected sections

of the bowels are inflamed. Bacteria " eat away " at the lining,

killing the tissue. Eventually, the intestinal wall is perforated.

According to the American Pediatric Surgical Association, NEC

affects about 25,000 babies every year. It's usually seen in preterm

or low birth weight babies and is the most common gastrointestinal

condition in premature babies. Infants with NEC may have feeding

difficulty, decreased bowel sounds, bloating, abdominal tenderness

and bloody stools.

No one knows what causes NEC, or why premature babies appear to be

at highest risk for the condition. Some people think the intestinal

tissues of preemies haven't fully developed and are stressed by food

moving through the bowels. That may allow bacteria that normally

live in the gut to invade the walls of the intestines.

http://www.hoinews.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=21913

Can be fatal. My ds had to have inches of his bowel removed and a

reattachment done.
