The "recipe" for the vaccines your child is taking may include the following ingredients:
- ALUMINUM: This metal is added to vaccines, in the form of gels or salts, to promote the production of antibodies. Aluminum has been named as a possible cause of seizures, Alzheimer's disease, brain damage, and dementia. A study published in Pediatrics, for example, found that children who received a pertussis vaccine containing aluminum experienced allergic responses while children who received a non-aluminum pertussis vaccine did not have such reactions. These results are supported by other studies published in Lancet and the Bulletin of the World Health Organization. Aluminum is used in the DTP, DTaP, and hepatitis B vaccines.
- BENZETHONIUM CHLORIDE: The anthrax vaccine (given primarily to military personnel) contains this ingredient. It is a preservative and has not been evaluated for human consumption.
- ETHYLENE GLYCOL: This is the main ingredient in antifreeze. It is used in some vaccine (for example, DTaP, polio, Hib, hepatitis B) as a preservative.
- FORMALDEHYDE: This substance is of great concern because it is a known carcinogen (cancer-causing agent). Formaldehyde is perhaps best known for it's use in the embalming process, but it is also used in fungicides, insecticides, and in the manufacture of explosives and fabrics. It is considered to be incompatible with many other substances, including one that is also found in some vaccines - phenol. In vaccines, liquid formaldehyde, called formalin, is used to inactivate germs. Not only is formaldehyde toxic, but, according to Sir Graham S. Wilson, author of The Hazards of Immunization, it is also inadequate as a disinfectant. This fact has been known for decades, says Catherine J. M. Diodati, author of Immunization: History, Ethics, Law, and Health, and the continued use of "this unreliable and hazardous substance clearly violates the principle of nonmaleficence [not doing harm]." Formaldehyde may be found in several vaccines.
- GELATIN: This known allergen is found in the vaicella and MMR vaccines.
- GLUTAMATE: Glutamate is used to stabilize some vaccines against heat, light and other environmental conditions. It is known to cause adverse reactions and is found in the varicella vaccine.
- NEOMYCIN: This antibiotic is used to prevent germs from growing in the vaccine cultures. Neomycin causes allergic reactions in some people. It is found in the MMR and the polio (IPV) vaccines.
- PHENOL: This coal-tar derivative is used in the production of dyes, disinfectants, plastics, preservatives, and germicides. It is highly poisonous in certain doses and actually harms rather than stimulates the immune system, which is the exact opposite of what vaccines are designed to do. Phenol is used in the preparation of some vaccines, including typhoid.
- STREPTOMYCIN: This antibiotic is known to cause allergic reactions in some people. It is found in both forms of the polio vaccine.
- THIMEROSAL: This substance is a perservative that contains nearly 50 percent ethylmercury, which means it has many of the same properties mercury has - thus it is very toxic. For decades it was used in nearly every vaccine on the market. Most childhood vaccines now are offered in single doses, which are thimerosal-free.
Although it is true that these ingredients are present in minuscule amounts in vaccines, they are, for the most part, poisons or known allergens. Once they are injected into your child's bloodstream and immature immune system, they are not adequately eliminated by the bile and the liver, because bile production has not yet matured. As one mother put it, "I wouldn't give my child food with MSG; and I certainly wouldn't feed him aluminum, mercury, or formaldehyde, so why would I knowingly have those things injected into his bloodstream?"

Hey Debra!
I found your blog via Kim (coffee and a muffin). Just wanted to say we've read Cave's book as well and have been researching vaccines for awhile.
After reading her book, we decided to do an alternative vaccination schedule...but after much prayer we've decided to put it off altogether. There's just too much evidence to suggest the link.
From the research I've done, I truly believe austism is an autoimmune response triggered by the MMR (which in turn attacks the BBB). It seems that it is almost always linked to gastrointestinal/bowel issues, as children begin showing glutten intolerances. It seemed that thimersol, which is now removed, was just the icing on the cake of what was already set in motion.
It will be interesting to see if researchers are honest with the facts with this new pass in funding. I'm doubtful. It's amazing how we have been shunned by the medical community...hard to find a pediatrician, esp. one that will not talk condescending to ya for questioning vaccines. :-)
Kat,
It is such a huge topic! We've done a lot of reading on the vaccine issue, it is hard to know what is really true sometimes. We were refused to be seen at one children's clinic for not following the suggested vaccination schedule. Our first son used to have multiple food and environmental allergies, severe eczema and later we found out high amounts of mercury/heavy metals and large head. This was back in 1997 before they took the thimerosal out of the children's vaccines. The more I learn and read, the more I feel certain the Lord spared him from Autism by avoiding vaccinations.
Since then, it's been a long journey that the Lord has taken us on toward intestinal health. He has been so gracious to lead us.
I would also like to do some sort of delayed or alternative vaccination schedule but not sure about one that is safe. We've had Pertussis going around our church and this is what has sparked my revisiting of this topic.
I checked your blog, so nice. I loved your post on the walnuts. Hilarious!!
