Getting your child vaccinated may be the most controversial decision you could make for your child. If you don’t take your child to the doctor to take some shots, a lot of eyebrows will be raised. You might even be called a bad parent and accused of not protecting your child from diseases.
On the other hand, if you decide to get your child vaccinated, you are exposing him to the dangers of vaccines. There has been a lot of talk over the links of mercury in vaccines to the autism epidemic.
However, mercury is not the only toxic substance found in childhood vaccines. Many other toxic additives have managed to stay under the radar and one of them is aluminum.
Because aluminum has not been given the same widespread media attention as mercury, many people have not been informed of the health risks it poses.
But why exactly do vaccines contain aluminum?
All vaccines have two components: the infectious agent that will trigger the immune response, such as a measles virus, and an immune adjuvant, which stimulate the production of immunity.
At first glance, you wouldn’t think aluminum would be health hazard because it’s a naturally occurring element and is found everywhere in the environment. Your body doesn’t absorb aluminum and is even an ingredient in over-the-counter antacids and personal care products like deodorants.
Why then is aluminum a dangerous ingredient in vaccines?
When you or your child take some shots, the aluminum compounds the vaccine contains accumulate at the site of the injection and travels to your brain. Once it reaches your brain, the aluminum enters neurons and glial cells (astrocytes and microglia). Studies show that aluminum can activate microglia for long periods of time, meaning that the aluminum in your vaccine is triggering your microglia to overreact.
The next vaccine you get will trigger the enhanced inflammatory reaction and release the excitotoxins glutamate and quinolinic acid. Excitotoxins kill nerve cells and damage cell structures. If you come down with an infection, are exposed to more toxins, or have a stroke or head injury of any kind, this will magnify the inflammatory reaction occurring in your brain due to the vaccines.
Research suggests that the more your immune system stays activated, you increase your risk of suffering from neurodegenerative diseases. The aluminum hydroxide used in many vaccines has been clearly linked to symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), and Alzheimer’s disease.
Vaccines that contain aluminum include:
• hepatitis A and B
• DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis)
• polio
• meningitis, and
• HPV
Last year, researchers also discovered that vaccines containing aluminum adjuvants could trigger immunological responses associated with autoimmune conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome and macrophagic myofasciitis, a condition that causes profound weakness and multiple neurological syndromes, one of which closely resembles multiple sclerosis.

The vaccine controversy is a very confusing issue. It’s best to take your time and get your hands on every available bit of research you can find before making any decision. Your child’s future health is at stake here.
If you follow the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) “one-size-fits-all” vaccination schedule, you will be pricking your child at least 20 times before he has even reached his second birthday, introducing toxic chemicals into his bloodstream at a very young age.
Dr. Mercola advises a more sensible and “user-friendly” vaccine schedule first recommended by Dr. Donald Miller, one of the proponents of vaccine safety in the U.S.
• No vaccines until your child is at least 2-years-old.
• No vaccines that contain thimerosal (mercury)
• No live virus vaccines.
• The following vaccines should be given ONE AT A TIME, EVERY SIX MONTHS when your child reaches the age of 2:
o pertussis (acellular, not whole cell)
o diphtheria
o tetanus
o polio (the Salk vaccine, which is cultured in human cells)
It’s important to remember that you can’t be forced to vaccinate your child or follow the CDC’s recommended vaccination schedule.
Know and understand your rights. The choice is yours.
