[2010 Oct] Aluminium Scare, is it Poisoning Vaccines? Prof Romain Gherardi
of INSERM, Paris heads a team with concerns over possible adverse
neurological effects of aluminium adjuvants -- used to enhance vaccine
effectiveness since 1926....According to Professor Romain Gherardi head of
the research team at the U955 lab based in Creteil, Paris , nanoparticles of
aluminum in vaccines, injected into muscle, migrate slowly but surely to the
brain, where, as we have previously thought they were gradually removed
through the urine. But he adds we know from research done in the 1970s that
aluminium is neurotoxic, that is, it is harmful to the brain. (Adjuvants are
an immunological agent added to a vaccine to increase the antigenic
response.)........"The worst offence," says an indignant M. Berthon, is
using aluminium in our tap water, it's criminal, and remember that anything
in excess of 100 micrograms per litre is dangerous."
However, with the exception of Paris - which for the past 30 years has
used iron in water treatment - drinking water suppliers add aluminium salts
to make the water clearer....Several studies have highlighted the link
between aluminium overloaded drinking water and some cases of dementia,
symptoms reminiscent of Alzheimer's disease ......In 1976 , cases of
dementia, joint pain, bone decalcification and anemia had occurred among
patients unergoing renal dialysis. Virginie Belle writes that many doctors
and researchers have fostered investigations related to the adverse impact
of aluminium and what she calls the "omerta of health authorities" is
suspicious.
