According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine, "aluminum adjuvants have a potential to induce serious immunological disorders in humans. In particular, aluminum in adjuvant form carries a risk for autoimmunity, long-term brain inflammation and associated neurological complications and may thus have profound and widespread adverse health consequences."


Aluminum is put into vaccines as an adjuvant. An adjuvant is an additive designed to help a medical treatment work better. So what is the concern about injecting aluminum into the blood stream? According to the U.S. FDA, "The aluminum content of large volume parenteral (LVP) drug products used in total parenteral nutrition (TPN) therapy must not exceed 25 micrograms per liter ([micro]g/L)." 


At birth, most children are given the hepatitis B vaccination. The amount of aluminum in the Hepatitis B vaccine alone is almost 14 times the amount approved by the FDA. Let's not forget about Pneumococcus @ 125 mcg, Hepatitis A @ 250 mcg, HPV @ 225 mcg, and Pediarix (DTaP, Hep B and Polio combo vaccine) @ 850 mcg. At well-child check-ups it’s common to include up to 8 vaccinations that add up to more than 1,000 mcg of aluminum...an amount that isn’t even safe for a 350 pound adult.

Knowledge is Power! Now You Know!

"While evidence suggests that complex medication combinations greatly increase the odds of incurring an adverse drug event, US Food and Drug Administration approval generally only requires testing of agents in isolation. As a consequence, we often do not know the net health outcomes associated with diverse and intense medication combinations. This uncertainty is magnified in the care of children for whom efficacy and safety studies are often lacking. Despite this therapeutic uncertainty, pediatric drug use is growing."

Growing drug use in the pediatric population! Not a sign of a society benefiting from drug use over time!!! See...Time to Lock the Medicine Cabinet?

WASHINGTON — Federal drug regulators announced on Wednesday that farmers and ranchers must restrict their use of a critical class of antibiotics in cattle, pigs, chickens and turkeys because such practices may have contributed to the growing threat in people of bacterial infections that are resistant to treatment.

It seems the gross overuse and abuse of antibiotics may have consequences overall.

(pronounced plan-tar fash-ee-eye-tis) is a common cause of heel and foot pain in adults. “Plantar” means the bottom of the foot; “fascia” is a type of connective tissue, and “itis” means “inflammation.” The classic symptoms of plantar fasciitis include heel pain that is usually most severe first thing in the morning.
