here's the whole post:
I have recently learned some interesting information about Aluminum ~ note the the American spelling. Don't worry, I still say it the English way, "Aluminium". That pronunciation always gets a laugh, but what happens if it gets into your body is much less funny.
What are the toxicity symptoms of Aluminum poisoning? Alzheimer's Disease; colitis; constipation; headaches; hyperactivity; irritability; loss of appetite, hair or energy; memory loss, neurological disorders, numbness, skin ailments and thyroid disorders. That's what, according to Stephen R. Schechter, N.D. author of Fighting Radiation & Chemical Pollutants with Food, Herbs & Vitamins.
What he doesn't address in his book is the fact that Aluminum is present in a number of vaccines given to our children. There are 48 doses of 14 vaccines given to your child from birth to age 6. And some of those may contain Thimerosal (Mercury) and others yet contain Aluminum.
If you read this document, you will learn more about how mercury was phased out of prominent vaccines, but then phased in to new vaccines on the list for your baby. Oh, and women in their first trimester of pregnancy too!

And what about aluminum? It's a heavy metal that is found in a number of childhood vaccines, including:
"DTaP, Pediarix (DTaP-Hepatitis B-Polio combination), Pentacel (DTaP-HIB-Polio combination), Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae B (HIB), Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), and Pneumococcal vaccines."

And if you are concerned about how much aluminum is in a vaccine, check this out:
"30 mcg of aluminum per day for a 12 pound 2 month old baby is considered a safe amount. Some vaccines have 7 to 25 times the recommended amount. For example, the Hepatitis B vaccine has 250 mcg of aluminum. The Pediarix vaccine, which is a combination vaccine of DTap, Hepatitis B, and Polio, has 850 mcg of aluminum. It is a little scary to me that my baby could get that much aluminum at one time when it is unknown how babies process an abundance of aluminum."

If you are concerned as to whether your child may have aluminum poisoning, there are tests you can have done:
"All people have small amounts of aluminum in their bodies. Aluminum can be measured in blood, bones, feces, or urine. Urine and blood aluminum measurements can tell you whether you have been exposed to larger-than-normal amounts of aluminum. Measuring bone aluminum can also indicate exposure to high levels, but this requires a bone biopsy."

If you get a test done, and it proves positive, then there is something natural to try to remedy it. A chiropractic doctor recommended me to check out a homeopathic aluminum detox supplement. Here is the webpage:

This page doesn't exactly give you much info on the aluminum detox... but it only costs $20 a bottle, and I probably should research it a little more before saying anything else.
All I know is that I've read some miracle stories of children recovering from "autism"... or symptoms that are given the label "autistic". If it turns out that these symptoms were caused by heavy metal poisoning, which can be chelated out of the system... who wouldn't want to try it?!
