It is time that ALL vaccines were stopped. Then never be permitted into use until there was pure scientific evidence that they are better than never having them. In the US, rescinding the 1986 vaccines laws would be a great start.

Many thanks for this clear explanation. Just sent to my MP who is pregnant and to other family members. I am afraid I am frequently ignored, but will not give up. I was never in a position to do the ground breaking work you have. I will keep on sharing your research regardless.

Another outstanding post that needs to go to Highwire. You are really good at explaining the way it all works to non-scientists, and for that I am so grateful!

Having three children who all went through extremely difficult periods in adolescence - one hospitalised with psychosis, one with Tourette's and depression, another with panic attacks, also my own twin sister with schizophrenia from mid-teens - I wondered for a long time what might exacerbate the vulnerability in our family. It wasn't until my mum said HER mum blamed a TB vaccine for the onset of lupus which eventually killed her at 42, that I started to consider these most invasive of medications as a potential problem, and that our family's issues might be mainly autoimmune and inflammatory reactions. Apart from all the other dodgy ingredients, aluminium being included in any vaccine demonstrates the irresponsibility of the whole industry in a particularly obvious way.

I have sometimes wondered if the delay until adolescence before obvious onset of mental health issues might have been linked to synaptic pruning which occurs at that time, lots of clearing up for those macrophages, carrying with them their metallic burden.

Yes and synaptic pruning is apparently implicated in autism.

Excellent preaching. I have linked to this article several times in internet discussions already. I find the same points keep coming up. Ingested is more than injected. The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia page. Autism 'has always been around'. (That one makes me want to pull my hair out - I generally read them Kanner's 1943 opening paragraph). The ubiquity of aluminum. Aluminum can't cross the BBB. Autism has been proved not to be caused by vaccines. Shareable articles like this on specific points are highly practical.

Interesting proposal: "I'll donate $50K if Paul Offit takes the entire CDC recommended vaccine schedule in one sitting" https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/ill-donate-50k-if-paul-offit-takes

Someone commented a few hours ago:

"Maybe we can modify the challenge. Instead of the full vaxxine schedule, we can just inject him with an equivalent amount of aluminum adjuvants. I hear they "leave the bloodstream" within a week. Anyone who says the adjuvants leave the bloodstream and - end up in the brain - are just science-denying misinformation-spreading hate-speeching anti-vaxxers."

Dr Exley, it would be great if you would consider commenting in https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/ill-donate-50k-if-paul-offit-takes about the amounts and kinds of aluminum salts he would receive.

It would give many more Substack users a chance to discover your great Substack, who may not be aware of its existence.

I'm so glad to have found your SS. As an aged P. Chem major, I have been looking for actual data on vaccines, as I'm not sure what to believe.

I'll continue to read your articles. I want the data from an objective source, not the hysteria from people whose last science class was in high school, & know nothing about the information sifting process in the Scientific Method.

How about the aluminum in deodorant? Is this reaction or absorption akin to being injected?

That's my question, too. Would through the skin be chronic exposure?

Dr Christopher Exley's avatar

Read my research on this subject either in my book or in my papers available through my website but, in short, chronic akin to ingested.

I’ve been trying to post this question unsuccessfully - how would spinal implants placed in the body with aluminium in them differ from ingested or injected aluminium?

Expand full comment
Dr Christopher Exley's avatar

That would depend upon the aluminium-based material being used. Alumina or aluminium oxide would release biologically reactive aluminium very slowly while a less stable form of aluminium could be more problematic. In general release of aluminium from implants to the surrounding tissues is slow leading to chronic toxicity.

Is there aluminium I wonder in things like spinal epidurals? Spinal cortisone injections?, spinal bone cements? Is any of this ever looked at as a cause of accumulative assault/toxicity over a lifetime? Surely, if someone is already sensitive to toxins from previous injury/damage, even from birth, then even the small amounts in these things could be fatal?

Just for instance, say if an autistic person as an adult has scoliosis surgery with 20 odd screws containing 6 percent aluminium in each screw, could this be very hazardous in your opinion?

Anything put on the skin will get absorbed. Think of it as equal to putting in your mouth. There's your answer.

Hi Dr. Exley. I'm new to your site, so let me preemptively apologize for such a basic question which is probably covered elsewhere: Is tea safe to drink given the high aluminum levels in the leaves? I just heard about this today, but will gladly let it go if it's unsafe.

If anyone else can share info on this, I'd love to learn Thanks!!

Yes, I have covered this here in my substack but as a quick answer, you cannot avoid all sources of aluminium in your diet (and be happy) and so I counter this by drinking a silicon-rich mineral water each and every day.

Azure Jung's avatar

Thank you for the response, Dr. E! I will start drinking a liter of silicon rich water daily in addition to a continued avoidance of aluminum cookware and antiperspirants. After learning of the high amounts of aluminum contained in (real) tea though, I think I'll switch to herbal ones instead. I love a hot drink with breakfast, but don't need the caffeine.

Use Fiji water to make your tea. It losses about 7% of its silica... during boiling ... still worth it!

Can you tell me if "structured" water is the same or similar to silicon water that you recommend?

Not the same in any way.

Thank you as as always for your excellent and accurate information - I really appreciate it.

Why is it that Ketogenic and Low Carb ways of eating end up helping people stabilize and overcome the nightmare of emotional dys-regulation, depression, brain fog, anxiety, tics, short term memory loss, etc, and brain issues with Autism/Asperger's/ADHD and other disorders related to aluminum when nothing else works? If aluminum toxicity is the root cause, how is it that people are finding stability and a life worth living again through keto and low carb ways of eating?

Thank you and God bless you good Sir.

I think everyone finds the better way for them, there is no one solution.

James Dawson's avatar

I was hoping you might be able to describe the science and mechanism of why those particular ways work, in context with how the aluminum affect the body and brain. There must be a reason of why these low carb and keto ways work. Low carb and keto must do something specifically. Since they seem to be the only ones I am hearing saved peoples lives after trying everything else.

I have no knowledge of this diet being beneficial for someone suffering an aluminium intoxication. Indirectly, whatever might improve the overall health of an individual will impact upon how their body deals with all forms of stress including that due to an aluminium body burden.

There a quite a few psychiatrists and nurse practitioners that have found it to be the key thing that works to support the body for people when nothing else works with challenges like Bipolar, Autism, Aspergers, Depression, Anxiety, Schizophrenia, and Alzheimers.

This is a major one I learned about who started finding problems with the medication approach, and people who didn't recover in therapy, who then did with a keto and/or low carb way of eating.

Here is a specific group working along these lines as well:

Really appreciate the dialogue and your time on this here in Substack. Thank you again!

James,

Our bodies can run on either ketones or glucose, and the maladies you mention, have cells that are insulin resistant because of aluminum, therefore they do not function as intended when only glucose is available.

Take Alzheimer’s as an example.

Your brain runs on glucose, BUT your brain can also run on ketones. As Dr Chris Exley has written, aluminum interferes with the natural bodily processes, including the ATP process in the mitochondria.

Thus in the case of Alzheimer’s, the aluminum prevents brain cells from converting glucose into ATP. With no ATP, with no fuel to run the brain cell, the brain cell stops functioning but the brain cell does not die.

A brain cell with no ATP is like a car that runs out of gasoline, the car stops functioning but the car is still intact, give it gasoline and it will drive again. Give the insulin resistant brain cell ketones, then the mitochondria converts it to ATP and brain will function again.

In other words, aluminum causes insulin resistance, prevents the usage of glucose as fuel and humans can use either glucose or ketones as fuel.

Dr Mary Newport explains how when you eat coconut oil, which contains medium chain triglycerides, those triglycerides are immediately converted into ketones and can provide ketone fuel for your brain.

See video at 1 Hour and 11 minutes for ketone levels in blood.
