Whilst I\u2019m going to make no effort to put my wobbly academic hat on and do more than simply excerpt a couple of paragraphs from this article you\u2019ll likely find it of interest if the correlation between Autism and Aluminium\u00a0from Vaccines piques your curiosity<\/div>\n

Five clear, replicable, and related discoveries explaining how autism is triggered have formed an undeniably clear picture of autism\u2019s causation, and possibly ways to alleviate the symptoms, too.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
STAFFORDSHIRE, England \u2014In early December 2017, Dr. Chris Exley of Keele University in England and his colleagues published a paper that for the first time looked at the brain tissue of subjects with autism to determine the level of aluminum (note: they spell \u201caluminum\u201d as \u201caluminium\u201d in the United Kingdom) found within their brain tissue. For anyone trying to convince the world that \u201cthe science is settled and vaccines don\u2019t cause autism,\u201d the study\u2019s findings are deeply contradictory to that statement. In a blog post written by Professor Exley on the day his study was published, he explained the ground-breaking results:<\/div>\n
\u201c\u2026while the aluminium content of each of the 5 brains [of people with autism] was shockingly high it was the location of the aluminium in the brain tissue which served as the standout observation\u2026The new evidence strongly suggests that aluminium is entering the brain in ASD [autism spectrum disorders] via (certain cells called) pro-inflammatory cells (a type of signalling cell – see bottom of post) which have become loaded up with aluminium in the blood and\/or lymph, much as has been demonstrated for monocytes (a type of white blood cell \u2013 again see below if you need more info) at injection sites for vaccines including aluminium adjuvants (see below).\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr. Exley\u2019s quote includes a reference to \u201cmonocytes at injection sites\u201d and the fact that the interaction between these monocytes and aluminum has been demonstrated in previous published science.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Reference is also made to a \u2018macrophage.\u2019 Dr Exley writes, \u201cA macrophage can be thought of as the garbage man of the immune system, eating up foreign substances, cell debris, etc. . . . . . . . . . . . . . macrophages appear to be playing a critical and devastating role in triggering autism, serving to escort aluminum injected from a vaccine directly into the brain, where it can disrupt brain development and trigger autism.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Handley continues, \u201cDr Exley\u2019s study \u2014 \u2019Aluminium in brain tissue and autism\u2019 \u2014 is the final piece of a puzzle that first started to come together in 2004, and picked up steam since 2010, that has dramatically furthered the scientific understanding of exactly how a vaccine can trigger autism. This timeline is critical to recognize, because the Vaccine Court in the United States dismissed the vaccine-autism hypothesis in 2009, long before most of what I\u2019m about to explain even existed. Science is a continuum, an emergence of truth through many different studies that often have to be pieced together before the picture becomes clear. And, scientific progress can sometimes move slowly until that moment when an emerging truth presents itself in such a way that it can no longer be denied. In my opinion, Dr Exley\u2019s study provided the only data missing from an airtight explanation of what happened to my son and so many other children.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For Americans, the race to discover what\u2019s causing all this autism will likely be won on foreign shores. As you\u2019ll soon see, ALL of the science explaining how autism can be caused has come from other countries, even though a Caltech scientist (California Institute of Technology) pushed the first domino back in 2006.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Why is aluminum in vaccines at all?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Aluminum is a critical component of most vaccines given to children. It serves as an \u201cadjuvant\u201d meaning the aluminum serves to \u201cwake up\u201d the immune system, provoking the immune system to recognize the \u201cantigen\u201d within the vaccine for whatever disease the vaccine serves to protect against. The amount of aluminum in vaccines given to children skyrocketed beginning in the early 1990s for two reasons: 1). more vaccines were added to the children\u2019s vaccine schedule and, 2). the vaccination rate for all vaccines given to children rose (from 50\u201360% of children vaccinated in the mid-1980s to over 90% today). A child in the mid-1980s would have received 1,250 micrograms of aluminum from their vaccines by their 18-month birthday if they were fully vaccinated. Today, that number is 4,925 micrograms, a near-quadrupling of total aluminum. You can read more about this in the excellent study published by Neil Miller entitled \u2018Aluminium in Childhood Vaccines is Unsafe\u2019.\u00a0https:\/\/www.jpands.org\/vol21no4\/miller.pdf<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Mystifyingly, aluminum has never experienced biological testing to consider its safety for being injected into babies, having been \u201cgrandfathered\u201d into our modern safety standards. Canadian scientists Dr Chris Shaw and\u00a0Dr Lucija Tomljenovic addressed this omission in a critical study they published in 2011 in Current Medicinal Chemistry titled, \u201cAluminum Vaccine Adjuvants: Are they Safe?\u201d They wrote:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAluminum is an experimentally demonstrated neurotoxin and the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant. Despite almost 90 years of widespread use of aluminum adjuvants, medical science\u2019s understanding about their mechanisms of action is still remarkably poor. There is also a concerning scarcity of data on toxicology and pharmacokinetics of these compounds. In spite of this, the notion that aluminum in vaccines is safe appears to be widely accepted. Experimental research, however, clearly shows that 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.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Ground zero at Caltech<\/div>\n
When Caltech scientist Dr. Paul Patterson passed away in 2014, I had little appreciation that he had triggered a chain of events over the course of his career that may now provide a clear and unambiguous explanation of how and why my son developed autism back in 2004. Knowing exactly how my son\u2019s autism was caused is incredibly important to my wife and I, because the more information we have about causation, the more chance we have to do something about it, and perhaps recover my son from an affliction now impacting 1 in 36 American kids.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What you\u2019re about to read is the product of more than two dozen very recent peer-reviewed published scientific studies, with really no original thought by me. I\u2019m a businessman and a father, but what follows is a \u201cgrand theory of autism\u201d so complete and well-supported that I think it deserves the attention of every member of the autism community. When the totality of this explanation became clear to me, not only did my jaw hit the floor, but I was immediately consumed with thoughts about how this clear explanation might impact the way we treat our son\u2019s autism, and I hope it does the same for you and perhaps your doctor as well. What I\u2019m certain of is that this \u201cgrand theory\u201d needs to be heavily debated, and I hope by putting it in the public realm I help move it along that path.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(I\u2019m indebted to an anonymous scientist who runs a website called Vaccine Papers, where many of these insights came from. I will quote VP throughout this piece, referring to VP as \u201cVP.\u201d I highly recommend you read the totality of his website, where the explanations are far more scientific than what you will read here.)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It shouldn\u2019t be a surprise that all of this science has been published outside the United States. I\u2019ve listened closely to the stories of American scientists wanting to study autism and complaining that any studies that are even remotely controversial are nearly impossible to fund or get approved.<\/div>\n
Well, that\u2019s just a part of it. There\u2019s much more about the correlation between Aluminium and Vaccine caused Autism in the blog and linked websites. Please use the link at the top of the page if you want to delve deeper.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
