Aluminum in Water, Bad. In Syringe, OK.

By Kent Heckenlively, Esq.

According to a Reuter’s article, “Aluminum, Silica in Water Affect

Alzheimer’s Risk†(March 4, 2009), “aluminum concentrations in drinking

water may have an effect on cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease.â€Â 

The report was released by Dr. Virginie Rondeau and her associates at the

Institute National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale in Bordeaux and can

be found in the American Journal of Epidemiology. (HERE)

The French investigators reported that “daily aluminum intake of at least 0.1

milligram was associated with greater cognitive decline.â€Â  (Author’s note

– 0.1 milligrams is equal to 100 micrograms [mcg])  The current listing of

the amount of aluminum in vaccines are as follows: DTaP – from 170 mcg to 625

mcg, depending on manufacturer, Hepatitis A – 250 mcg, Hepatitis B – 250

mcg, HiB – 225 mcg, HPV – 225 mcg, Pediarix – 850 mcg, Pentacel – 330

mcg, and Pneumococcus – 125 mcg.

As noted in the article “Is Aluminum the new Thimerosal?†by Dr.

Sears, and appearing in the January/February issue of Mothering magazine, “In

other words, a newborn who gets a Hepatitis B injection on day one of life would

receive 250 mcg of aluminum.  This would be repeated at one month with the next

Hep B shot.  When, at two months, a baby gets its first big round of shots, the

total dose of aluminum could vary from 295 mcg (if a non-aluminum HIB and the

lowest-aluminum brand of DTaP are used) to a whopping 1225 mcg (if the Hep B

vaccine is given along with the brands with the highest aluminum contents). 

These doses are repeated at four and six months.  With most subsequent rounds

of shots, a child would continue to get some aluminum throughout the first two

years.  But the FDA recommends that premature babies, and anyone with impaired

kidney function, receive no more than 10 to 25 mcg of injected aluminum at any

one time.†(HERE)

As the parent of a child with autism and seizures I can only note that in one

heavy metals test my daughter excreted more than 80 times the normal amount of

aluminum.  On average she's excreted somewhere between 8 to 13 times the normal

amount of aluminum, and seems to slowly be getting better.  I’ve written

before about how autism is likely a combination of infections and toxins, and

I’ve long suspected that aluminum plays an as yet undefined role in her

problems. 

There’s also a considerable amount of controversy on the damage a toxin can

have whether it’s ingested by mouth, or through injection.  Injection means

it gets into the blood fairly quickly, and since the blood-brain barrier

doesn’t close until well after birth, this aluminum may be able to settle

directly to the brain.

While my daughter has had problems from a young age, it’s just as

heart-breaking when a previously healthy girl is suddenly struck down.  We are

hearing more of these stories following vaccinations with Gardasil, and it’s

probably not surprising considering that the shot has 225 mcg of aluminum.  One

must also consider the body weight of these adolescent girls when they get their

shots and we have another example of baffling medical symptoms.

One of the few bright spots of the French study was the finding that high intake

of silica seemed to either reduce “the oral absorption of aluminum on

increases the excretion of this metal.â€Â  Those following DAN protocols will

recognize the similar role played by chelation treatments.

Adults with Alzheimer’s disease, children with autism and seizures, and

adolescent girls with baffling medical symptoms, may all be linked by

aluminum.  As the French investigators concluded, “Further studies are needed

to settle the debate over the link between aluminum or silica in drinking water

and neurologic disorders and cognitive impairment.â€

I think that’s a conclusion with which even Inspector Clouseau would agree.
