The Dangers of Aluminum

Posted on January 5, 2012 by advancedwellnesscenter

There have been numerous studies about this little metal called aluminum. However, despite the findings and links it has to many of the occurring diseases such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, heart disease and breast cancer they continue to use this metal in more and more products.  When mercury was removed a few years ago from several of the vaccines (except the flu vaccine) they replaced the mercury with aluminum, stating it was “perceived” as less harmful. Now we find out it’s not less harmful and possible worse considering how it works in our body and how many other ways we are getting aluminum in our system.

Even a study in Pediatrics, the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, admitted that:

“Aluminum is now being implicated as interfering with a variety of cellular and metabolic processes in the nervous system and in other tissues.”

 

Aluminum actually attaches itself to tissue, such as with a vaccine when it’s injected the aluminum travels to the brain affecting certain brain cells to become overstimulated which invokes this ripple affect in our immune system.

Unlike a natural immune boost that would come from, say, eating healthy and exercising, artificial immune adjuvants can be dangerous in and of themselves. Says Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D., a board-certified neurosurgeon and author:

“Studies have shown that these adjuvants, from a single vaccine, can cause immune overactivation for as long as two years. This means that the brain microglia remain active as well, continuously pouring out destructive chemicals.
In fact, one study found that a single injection of an immune activating substance could cause brain immune overactivation for over a year. This is very destructive.”
Some signs of aluminum poisoning or toxicity in your system:
  • aching joints
  • headaches
  • fatigue
  • depression
  • digestive issues
  • heart palpitations
  • female reproductive issues such as infertility, miscarriages, irregular menses and pre-eclampsia
Now it’s important to know other sources of aluminum we absorb on a more daily basis. Sources such as deodorant, cooking utensils, pots and pans, cigarettes, make-up and household cleaners. Let’s think about deodorant, you use it at least once every day and you apply it under your arms where there are our largest number of lymph glands and closest to our very sensitive breast tissue. That’s why a study found it increases your risk of Alzheimers 300%! Pots and pans, we heat them up and scrape our food around on them then directly ingest the chemicals which are released. Non-stick or coated pans are the worst for releasing very harmful chemicals into our food.
So, once we stop and realize how many ways we are getting these toxins into our bodies we can easily make changes to reduce it.
Tips to reduce aluminum toxicity:
  1. buy aluminum free deodorant (I prefer “Jason organics” brand). All antiperspirants contain aluminum.
  2. when cooking use ceramic, cast iron, glass, enamel coated cast iron or stainless steel
  3. don’t smoke! For many reasons but toxicity is the biggest!
  4. avoid getting vaccines that directly inject aluminum or mercury into the bloodstream
  5. check your make up labels. Look for mineral make up without bismuth.
  6. use natural cleaning products such as white vinegar, beeswax, steam hard floors and green products
  7. use thermos’ with glass liners not metal for hot liquids

These are simple and life saving changes you can make to start 2012 healthier and safer!!
