Dr. Sears did not lie. I miss quoted him ...Joseph <br /><br />Dr. Sears did not lie. I miss quoted him by leaving out the "/L". Even when calculating by body wight the roughly 350 to 12oo mcg of aluminum that an infant receives (based on combination of brands) in the 2, 4 and 6 month well baby visits FAR exceed 25mcg/L of body wieght.<br /><br />The point remains the same. We do not have safety studies on injected aluminum. Also, you are incorrect in saying, "So, it makes sense that the guideline for IV fluids is going to be stricter than the guideline for vaccines." There are no guidelines for heavy metals in vaccines. Which is a problem and frankly OUTRAGEOUS!<br /><br />You also state, <br />"...our bodies excrete metals pretty effectively. Problems usually only arise when you're getting long-tern exposure, and when the rate of that exposure is greater than the rate of the body's excretion."<br /><br />We have inadequate scientific data comparing individual abilities to excrete heavy metals. It stands to reason that genetic susceptibility would leave some people with a less effective ability to detox. <br /><br />And speaking of long term exposure, through childhood vaccines children receive up to 4,925 mcg aluminum by 18 months. <br /><br />From Aluminum in Vaccines: A Neurological Gamble, "In 1997 the New England Journal of Medicine published data showing that premature babies injected with aluminum build up toxic <br />levels in the blood, bones and brain, and that aluminum toxicity can lead to neurological damage, including mental handicaps at 18 months of age." <br /><br />For more on aluminum exposure in vaccines with scientific citation see, http://www.thinktwice.com/aluminum.pdf by Neil Z.

The FDA regulation that he hints at deals only with aluminum concentration in IV solutions, and is not 25 mcg, but 25 mcg/L. <br /><br />Also, our bodies excrete metals pretty effectively. Problems usually only arise when you're getting long-tern exposure, and when the rate of that exposure is greater than the rate of the body's excretion. For this reason, guidelines for long-term exposure are stricter than guidelines for single doses. So, it makes sense that the guideline for IV fluids is going to be stricter than the guideline for vaccines.<br /><br />Also, the method of delivery is different. Intramuscular injections (i.e. vaccines) have a much slower absorption rate than IVs.<br /><br />Anyways, I hope this information is helpful.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01635588072828005725noreply@blogger.com
