my sister told me years ago not to use deodorant containing aluminum. I guess she was right! and, by the way, I did pay attention. thanks for article.

My mother as in the lobby of a dermatologists office where many were getting troublesome spots removed. And one lady talked about how her mother let her run around without a top when she was 5..and that must be the cause of the cancer she now has in her 70s. Or...maybe...just maybe....if we're all using these deoderants every day for decades on end. ...

I didn't know that sweating releases aluminum. Good to know. I sweat like a pig, It's been an embarrassing scourge my whole life. Dainty ladies at a tea party and there's me, front, left and center sweat rings down to my waist in my pretty silk dress stuck to me like saran wrap. "Are you OK dear?" "Yeah, why do you ask".

Looking forward to reading this later!

Hey Frank - something I learned about on another thread: Have you heard of Adjuvant 65? (Maybe you've already written about it?)

It was a vax adjuvant used in the 60's and 70's -- and it was peanut oil-based! The adjuvant was something like 85% peanut oil.

Geee ... wondering where all those peanut allergies came from .............

That's exactly where the peanut allergy came from.

you did not mention HPV vaccine trials . Guess what the "placebo" control was?

Good point.

a REPLY: Virus-like particles are isolated with the use of standard techniques to achieve a purity of more than 97 percent and adsorbed onto amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate adjuvant without preservative. The HPV-16 vaccine used in this study contained 40 μg of HPV-16 L1 virus-like particles formulated on 225 μg of aluminum adjuvant in a total carrier volume of 0.5 ml. The placebo contained 225 μg of aluminum adjuvant in a total carrier volume of 0.5 ml. Vaccine and placebo were visually indistinguishable.

> If we see the PCR test ping, we “know” we “found a virus”.

PCR tests work in two ways. The user (you) learns that life is not a comfy time travel. The test manufacturer, distributors, sellers, and operators immediately learn that their bank account balance increases exponentially. Win-win.

Thanks for drawing attention to this! So many of the health issues our society struggles with are the result of toxic heavy metals like aluminum and mercury. The pain and heartache these neurological issues cause is immeasurable.

> Question 2: Why is Exley particularly concerned about aluminum compared to other metals?

Exley is particularly concerned about aluminum because it is both abundant in the Earth's crust and highly reactive, yet it has no known biological function in living organisms. This means that when humans encounter aluminum, their bodies treat it as a foreign substance for which they have not evolved any protective mechanisms.

REPLY: While the above is true. It is misinformed. Free Aluminum is not naturally found in the Earths crust. The micro organisms that curated the Earth for billions of years took free Aluminum out of circulation by tying it up in what is now called bauxite

After billions of years of working with aluminum by the microcosmos Aluminum as far as life is concerned is not needed. It is toxic therefore free aluminum is not allowed to exist until humans in there never ending search for "what" I don't know, liberated aluminum from bauxite. Lots to learn now.

Re: "This means that when humans encounter aluminum, their bodies treat it as a foreign substance for which they have not evolved any protective mechanisms."

And there it is! We are the lab rats in an ongoing non-consensual trauma based toxicology experiment , testing for the emergence of protective mechanisms. If the test subjects fail to develop these endogenously, then "market forces" will rise to the occasion and provide safe and effective solutions to meet demand.

"Where is the “Carcinogen Test”? You know, that simple test were you can check whether your food or drink has any carcinogens in it. Do you think that test is coming, freely provided by your caring Government, anytime soon?"

This hit home.. we can't find what we don't look for and in this culture driven to 'Race for the Cure' all causes are ignored.. built on Chemical Safety Policy where absence of evidence of harm is treated as if the chemicals are perfectly safe.. gotta love lobbyist power!!

Scorecard - Global Authority for Chemical Safety

(pulled offline by UC Davis in 2020)

Basic Testing to Identify Chemical Hazards

If an industrial chemical is allowed by law to be released into the environment, most people assume that it must have been tested and evaluated for its potential risks. Unfortunately, this is simply not true.

Keeping chemical hazards under control requires information about what kinds of hazards each chemical poses. If the basic tests to check on a chemical's toxicity haven't been conducted, or if the results aren't publicly available, current laws tend to treat that chemical as if it were perfectly safe. For the chemicals being used in large quantities, Scorecard tells you whether or not eight basic types of tests for health and ecological effects have actually been conducted, based on the public record. https://web.archive.org/web/20120917041002/http://scorecard.goodguide.com/chemical-profiles/chems-profile-descriptions.tcl#basic_testing

I did not see it mentioned-- but don't forget to avoid Teflon and aluminum cookware!

There is a book you may get a recommendation if you read Exley's book about aluminum that notes that silicate water is a consistent variable across most blue zones. Seems like a strong affirmation that aluminum plays a part for many chronic illnesses and so helping the body eliminate it may be part of the success in longevity of the blue zones. Oddly enough the shows that talk about blue zones miss this interesting common denominator.
