Aluminum, Mercury, & Fluoride… Oh My!
Here is some of my recent research on these three environmental poisons. I felt called to share the information just incase anyone was struggling with making choices in relation to their own health. Keep in mind, none of the following is advice — it is pure research done by myself as a researcher. I am not a medical doctor or healthcare professional.
Aluminum
Aluminum is a type of metal that is found in vaccines, our food, in the environment, and is toxic to the human body. When a vaccine is injected that contains aluminum, it crosses the blood-brain barrier since it goes directly into the bloodstream. It then gets deposited in different areas of the body, as well as the brain, and cell receptor sites in the brain. It is supposed to be an adjuvant that causes the body’s immune system to react, however, in the process of vaccination it bypasses the natural immune system and does no good in protecting you against dis-ease.
Recently, in an effort to eliminate mercury from vaccines, they have begun adding higher amounts of aluminum to them instead. This is not solving anything as aluminum is toxic in itself, but it also causes mercury to be even more toxic inside of the body. High levels of aluminum can lead to Alzheimer's, dementia, seizures, auto immune issues, SIDS, allergies, MS, ALS, autism, and cancer. Aluminum in the body can also cause DNA alterations, gene expression interference, coagulation of proteins, dysregulated energy metabolism, damage to cell membranes and the myelin sheath, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and brain inflammation. It causes neurological complications, as well as other issues on top of the ones I chose to list.
Some important things to know about aluminum in vaccines are as follows. When ingesting aluminum, our bodies only absorb about 0.2-1.5% of it; when injected we absorb 100% of the aluminum. The Hepatitis B vaccine given at birth has 225 mcg’s of aluminum – which is five times the “safe limit” before the age of 6 months. A baby’s kidneys are not even fully functioning until 1-2 years of life and has a very low chance of eliminating any of this. That is also only speaking of the initial Hep B vaccine at birth, not even to mention all of the other vaccines given in the first year of life. The neurotoxin aluminum, if we follow the CDC recommended vaccine schedule, will have accumulated about 4,925 mcg in a child’s body by 18 months of age. This is extremely concerning due to the fact that it is given intramuscularly and as stated above means there is not a good chance of the baby being able to eliminate it.
Aluminum promotes cellular death in plants, animals, and humans. It also actually inhibits over 200 different biologically important functions and that is how it causes so many various side effects. Aluminum enters neurons and glial cells (astrocytes and microglia), and activates them for long periods of time. In layman's terms, this means the aluminum is priming your microglia to overreact. Additionally, it interferes with many metabolic and cellular processes, which has an effect on the nervous system as well as tissues.
According to FDA regulations, the amount of aluminum allowed in a vaccine is solely based on how much it takes to get a response, NOT how much is safe to enter a human body. The approximately 200-400 mcg of aluminum allowed per vaccine is not based on many scientific safety studies. In fact, no vaccine safety studies have even been done with an actual placebo. Instead, all vaccine safety studies were all done with the control group being an older vaccine OR a shot of saline/aluminum.
Overall, aluminum is absolutely a neurotoxin and should be avoided at all costs, ESPECIALLY by method of injection. It is not an easy toxin to eliminate from the body, especially for babies. It is linked strongly to much of the dis-ease humans face today.
Mercury
Mercury in every form (ethyl, methyl, organic, inorganic, and elemental) is one of the top most toxic elements known to man. This harmful ingredient has been used in vaccines and in dental procedures for a long time. Currently, there has been a large decline in its use in fillings and dental procedures, but it still does happen. Also, there has been an effort to “remove” mercury from vaccines as well. However, there are still trace amounts of it in certain vaccinations.
Mercury can really mess things up in the human body. One example is that there are enzymes in the body that make necessary reactions happen. There are groups called sulfhydryl groups that contain these enzymes which are made up of proteins made from amino acids. Basically, the sulfhydryl groups are good at moving things around such as electrons. They are also good at holding things in place such as useful metals like zinc and copper. When mercury enters the body, it can get stuck onto these groups because it is attracted to them. This then causes it to stop operating correctly, as well as stops the enzymes from occurring.
Another thing it does is mess with the mitochondria, which are the energy producers of our cells. It causes a break in the electron transport chain, and we end up with way more free radicals, and less ATP. Normally, we want to see more ATP (energy) and less free radicals, as too many free radicals can be a bad thing. The antioxidant molecules in the mitochondria are able to handle some free radicals, but what happens when they are exposed to mercury (as well as cadmium and arsenic) is not good, and wears out the mitochondria throughout the entire body. Additionally, mercury also blocks the conversion of T4, blocks the conversion of T4 to T3, which ultimately affects the thyroid and slows metabolism. It also causes fatigue and possible weight gain.
Mercury can also mess with the brain and cause anxiety, overstimulation, and for a person to be stuck in fight-or-flight mode. This combined with fatigue due to the issues I previously described is a common expression of mercury poisoning in the human body. Mercury poisoning can cause a plethora of issues in the body including chronic heart failure, IDCM, neurodevelopmental disorders, autism, ADHD, speech disorders, birth defects, and miscarriage. Studies have found that the levels of mercury in autistic children was three times higher than that of the children in the control groups.
The main vaccines that mercury still exists in are DTaP, Hib, Hepatitis B, and Influenza (the flu vaccine). It is also present in the Rho Gam shot given to pregnant mothers. The reason it is still in these vaccines in trace amounts is due to the fact that these vaccines are not made in a sterile environment. Instead, they use mercury at the end of the manufacturing process to sterilize bacteria, fungi, and other microbes. Because mercury (aka thimerosal) is not a good sterilizing agent, it takes a lot of it to kill off the microbes. Then, to consider these vaccines “thimerosal free,” they chelate off the mercury. However, they never get all of it. They also never eliminate the byproducts produced from using mercury to kill off bacteria, fungi, etc. So, those endotoxins remain in the vaccines as well in unknown concentrations with unpredictable effects.
Overall, mercury is a very dangerous heavy metal to expose yourself or your child to. Whether it be through injection or oral treatment. It has been proven to have horrible effects on the body. In the future I hope we can eliminate it entirely from being used in such processes.
Fluoride
Here, we will focus on the health risks associated with Fluoride (sodium-fluoride), not to be confused with fluorine (whose natural bond is calcium-fluoride). In many cases, fluoride is added to our drinking water, is in our toothpaste, and is applied to the teeth in some dental procedures. Fluorine, when bonded with sodium, which is what is used in these cases, promotes decay. Fluorine, when bonded with calcium, is considered to be the decay-resistor. This is why it’s important to know the difference.
Fluoride can deplete white blood cells, cause confusion in the immune system, and decrease enzyme production. This is one reason it can be associated with auto-immune disorders. It also increases tumor growth, inhibits antibody formation in the blood, and breaks down collagen. When it breaks down collagen, the skin, bones, cartilage, tendons, connective tissues, and teeth are affected. It also has a negative effect on the nervous system, and the thyroid. This can cause premature aging. It can also cause a hyperactive or underactive response to a fetus depending on when the exposure happened. Additionally, exposure to fluoride can cause birth defects, cancer, and osteoporosis. It is considered to be a lethal poison by The Merck Manual. It helps aluminum and lead leach out of pipes, cookware, etc., and can cause apathy, confusion, reduction in memory, and poor decision making skills.
There are many sources of Fluoride exposure on top of just drinking water, and use in the dental profession. It can also be found in reconstituted juices, beer, rice or soy milk, and other prepared foods using water. Baby food, as well as fluoridated drops made for babies both contain Fluoride. You can get exposed to it by air if you work in production of iron, steel, aluminum, copper, lead, and zinc. You could also be exposed to it through agricultural fertilizers, plastics, brick, cement, glass, ceramics, clay products, gasoline, coal electrical power plants, and uranium processing. The components of fluoride are not biodegradable, so they can accumulate in people’s bones/teeth, in food products, and in the environment.
It is important to limit your exposure as much as you are able to. Some remedies that are helpful in detoxing from fluoride are kelp, as it purifies the blood and assists the thyroid. Schizandra can be used as it protects the body from free radical damage, helps balance body functions, increases energy supply to the cells, and aids the body’s immune system. Vitamin C is also helpful as it prevents premature aging and protects against free radicals. Bentonite Clay will bind and pull out toxins. Black walnut oxygenates the blood and provides iodine which assists the thyroid as well. Additionally, black walnut eliminates toxic chemicals and aids to restore tooth enamel. The cell salt Calc Fluor aids in tooth development and helps people with decaying enamel. The herb Dulse also helps build bones and teeth. It is also beneficial to use the essential oil blend Thieves, as well as other supportive herbs that benefit the brain, kidneys, liver, and the gastrointestinal tract.
Some additional things to consider are using nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste, as well as toothpaste without glycerin in it. You can use food grade hydrogen peroxide in the mouth. You can use coconut oil to do oil-pulling to support oral health. You can even make a tooth powder to sleep with that includes pearl powder, coral calcium, diatomaceous earth, egg shells, white oak bark, and white clay powder.
Overall, for your oral health it is best to learn and understand why fluoride is bad, where you could be getting exposure from, and how to best counteract it to prevent damage to the body and teeth.
