 What Is In Your Child’s Immunizations?
Formaldehyde, Mercury, Antifreeze?
Get Informed!

It started out innocent enough, a simple Google search for vaccinations. My intent was to get informed about the required vaccines for the upcoming school year. To my dismay, I found hundreds of published medical studies documenting vaccine failures and their destructive side effects. Judging from the sheer volumes of adverse information, the serious inadequacies in immunization theories and practices are well known and proven.
Moreover, I was shocked to realize that there are no legal mandates or professional ethics required for pediatricians and health care providers to be fully informed.
Childhood conditions that were rare just a few years ago, such as autism, learning disabilities, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), seizures, epilepsy, sleep and eating disorders, obesity, impulsive violence, diabetes, asthma, and cancers have all been linked to vaccines. Included is the epidemic of auto-immune diseases that are invading the lives of our young adults.
There are currently 200 vaccines in development, and you can be sure that many more vaccine requirements will follow. To accommodate these new additions, many combination vaccines are in the pipeline. [1] The studies of combination vaccine safety are seriously flawed. [2] Every consumer needs to read and be informed of every ingredient, additive, adjuvant and contaminant in each vaccine that you are allowing your children, or yourself, to receive.
Here is a short list of possible additives to look out for:
-
VERO (monkey) cells – Potentially containing the SV40 Virus incriminated in several different cancers including leukemia.
-
Bovine extract, bovine casein and calf (bovine) sera – It is common knowledge that bovine blood products can be contaminated with viruses.
-
Formaldehyde – A chemical known to cause cancer in laboratory animals and humans. [3] There is no known threshold level below which cancer risk does not exist.
-
Glutaraldehyde – A toxic chemical that is used for cold sterilization of medical and dental equipment.
-
Phenoxyethanol – The chemical name for antifreeze.
-
Thimerosal – A mercury compound.
Despite the fact that these vaccines have not been properly tested or proven to be beneficial, the requirements for vaccines are growing and gaining momentum. Twenty-years ago, children received 10-12 vaccinations by the age of 6. Today, they receive 40+. Following is the alarming FDA recommended schedule.
Recommended Immunization Schedule for ages 0 through 6 years
(If you’ve fallen behind this schedule, don’t worry there is a catch-up schedule):
Recommended Immunization Schedule for ages 7 through 18 years
(Again, if you’ve fallen behind this schedule, don’t worry there is a catch-up schedule):
Most people don’t realize that vaccine-induced immunity is only temporary. For example, the new chicken pox vaccine has an effectiveness of 6-10 years. It can postpone the child’s possibility of contracting the disease until adulthood, which is when the disease is 20 times more likely to cause death.
The majority of the time, childhood infectious diseases are benign and self-limiting. It’s been proven that childhood diseases play an important part in building a strong, lifelong immune system. So not only are childhood vaccinations robbing us of our adult immune systems, the added toxic ingredients are alarming.
Let’s take a closer look:
DPaT — Formaldehyde, thimerosal (mercury), aluminum hydroxide, aluminum
phosphate, polysorbate 80, gelatin
HiB — Hib saccarides cultured on cow's brains, CRM protein, sodium chloride, aluminium hydroxide, mercury.
POLIO — 3 types of live polio virus, magnesium chloride, polysorbate 80, neomycin, sulphate, streptomycin, penicillin and monkey kidney cell cultures.
MENINGITIS C — Meningococcal group C oligosaccharide and corynebacterium, diphteriae crm protein (fails to disclose what vaccine is cultured on), aluminium phosphate, sodium chloride and water.
MMR —Live measles virus, live mumps virus, live rubella virus, chick embryo, human foetal (from aborted fetus or miscarriage) stem cells, neomycin, sorbitol, gelatine.
HEPATITIS B — Hepatitis B virus gene, aluminium hydroxide, mercury, formaldehyde. For the genetically engineered vaccine: aluminium hydrochloride, sodium chloride and mercury.
INFLUENZA — Influenza virus, haemaglutinin and neuraminidase antigens A and B strains, gelatine, mercury, formaldehyde, sodium chloride, mashed chick embryos, neomycin.
HPV / GARDASIL (Human Papillomavirus) — Amino acids, amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, carbohydrates, l-histidine, mineral salts, polysorbate 80, sodium borate, vitamins
If you are alarmed, you’re not alone. These designer vaccinations that pharmaceutical companies are promoting have been proven to be useless, dangerous and destructive. Tragically, they can seriously damage a small child’s immune system for life.
As a parent I feel compelled to take action concerning disease prevention. I also feel a level of intimidation from my health care providers. They actually believe the one-sided information they receive from pharmaceutical companies, and due to licensing restrictions, are not allowed to explore alternative options.
What are the alternatives?
The best way to ensure protection from any flu, virus, bacteria or any sickness is prevention. Strengthen your child’s immune system by supplementing with vitamins and minerals, and avoiding foods that can weaken it.
Here are some suggestions for strengthening a child's immune system naturally:
-
Avoid partially hydrogenated fats (contained in packaged snack foods) because they promote inflammation and prevent healthy fatty acids from being incorporated into cells. Read labels of prepared foods and you will find that these fats are everywhere: in crackers, chips, cookies, and desserts. Avoid French fries and other deep fried foods from fast food restaurants. The oils in these foods are rancid. Supplement your child's diet with omega-3 essential fatty acids that prevent inflammation.
-
Avoid foods with added sugar, i.e., sugared breakfast cereals, sodas, cookies, and ice cream. High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is especially difficult for the body to metabolize. HFCS is everywhere so read the labels. Use fruit spreads instead of jam, offer fresh and dried fruits or fruit rolls. Use whole grains and whole wheat bread rather than products made with “wheat flour,” which means white flour. Use organic foods whenever possible, and your child will not be eating pesticides that injure the liver.
-
Breastfeeding is the best protection you can provide for your infant! Continue for at least 12 months or longer if possible. The longer you breastfeed, the more your child will benefit. Breastfeeding prevents infections and the complications of childhood illness. Breastfed babies are immunized; children who are injected with viruses and bacteria are vaccinated.
-
Do not give antibiotics unless absolutely necessary.
-
Decongestants suppress the body’s immune system and add more harmful chemicals to your child’s body, prolonging infections and causing hyperactivity.
-
Give your child a liquid multi vitamin with minerals (make sure it contains all 16 vitamins and 72 minerals) to boost the immune system.
There are three vaccine exemption possibilities in the U.S.
1) Medical Exemption: All 50 states in the U.S. allow for a medical exemption. A few states allow licensed naturopathic or chiropractic doctors to issue medical exemptions in addition to medical doctors. However, few pediatricians check for indications of increased risk before administering vaccines, so it is advisable for parents to research this matter for themselves.
Epilepsy, severe allergies, and siblings’ previous adverse reactions are but a few of the many conditions in child or family history which may increase the chances of an adverse reaction, and thus qualify for a medical exemption;
2) Religious Exemption: Nearly all states allow for a religious exemption. This may or may not require membership in an established religious organization, as individual state laws vary.
3) Philosophical or Personal Exemption: An increasing number of states allow one of these exemptions, in recognition of the controversy and/or violation of freedom that mandated vaccination laws impose. Generally, exempted children may not be banned from attending public schools and colleges except during local outbreaks. It is best to contact local school officials in advance to determine their particular procedure for handling exemptions.
What can you do if your child has been vaccinated?
It’s time to detox…naturally of course! The four main things to do to help the body detox naturally are:
1. Lots of super-healthy liquids to flush out the body while pouring in nutrients.
2. Fiber to keep your GI tract fit.
3. Foods that energize cleansing enzymes in the liver, your body’s built-in detox center.
4. Supplements that include all the necessary vitamins, amino acids, preferably a liquid as it will have a higher absorption rate as well as minerals.
The top 10 detox foods:
1. Green Leafy Vegetables
Eat them raw, throw them into a broth, add them to juices. Their chlorophyll helps carry out environmental toxins (heavy metals, pesticides) and protects the liver.
2. Lemons
You need to keep the fluids flowing to wash out the body. Vitamin C is considered the detox vitamin. It helps convert toxins into a water-soluble form that’s easily flushed away.
3. Watercress
Put a handful into salads, soups, and sandwiches. The peppery little green leaves have a diuretic effect that helps move things through your system. And watercress is rich in minerals too.
4. Garlic
Add it to everything -- salads, sauces, spreads. In addition to the bulb’s cardio benefits, it activates liver enzymes that help filter out junk.
5. Green tea
This antioxidant-rich brew is one of the healthiest ways to get more fluids into your system. Bonus: It contains catechins, which speed up liver activity
6. Broccoli Sprouts
Get them at your health-food store. They pack 20 to 50 times more cancer-fighting, enzyme-stimulating activity into each bite than the grown-up vegetable.
7. Sesame Seeds
They're credited with protecting liver cells from the damaging effects of chemicals.
8. Cabbage
There are two main types of detoxifying enzymes in the liver; this potent veggie helps activate both of them.
9. Psyllium
A plant that's rich in soluble fiber, like oat bran, but more versatile. It mops up toxins (cholesterol too) and helps clear them out. Stir powdered psyllium into juice to help cleanse your colon.
10. Fruits, Fruits, Fruits
They're full of almost all the good things above: vitamin C, fiber, nutritious fluids, and all kinds of antioxidants.
Whatever your personal vaccination decision, make it an informed decision as it’s your right and responsibility. Use this article as a starting point to begin your own research. Remember that it’s your right to choose whether you child is vaccinated or not.
