​J.B. Handley in his monumental book, How to End the Autism Epidemic, reports that since 2004, eleven significant discoveries (all building on each other) have established a clear scientific trail for how vaccines can cause autism. "Because of this science, we now know that autism is created by immune activation events in the brain during critical phases of brain development, typically by the time a child is thirty-six months old, and that these immune activation events in the brain can be triggered by the aluminum adjuvants in vaccines." This science is conducted in the cause-and-effect biological science arena, not the less robust epidemiological studies the CDC likes to use.

Let me list below step by step how the studies clearly show that aluminum can cause autism. 

  1. In 2004 Dr. Carlos Pardo-Villamizar at Johns Hopkins University found continual inflammation in autistic brains. It was the first time scientists looked at the brains of people with autism and recognized the constant, chronic inflammation and pain resulting from "an active neuroinflammatory process."
  2. Dr. Paul Patterson of Caltech discovered in 2005 that microglial cells in autistic brains were always on. These cells represent the immune system within the brain and cytokines (signaling molecules) were present showing an ongoing, permanent immune system activation but without any recognizable, ongoing infection. This finding helped explain why autistic people slapp or bang their heads. They try to alleviate the discomfort from the constant pain in their head. Having suffered with migraines for years, I know this seemingly hopeless quest for relief - there were times I wanted to consider cutting off my head just to stop the pain! "If a pregnant mother becomes sick (virus, bacteria) while pregnant--an event that "activates" her immune system--that activation can impact the neurodevelopment of the fetus, potentially leading to neurological problems after birth. This is where the term "immune activation event" comes from, and it's an immune activation event that can lead to autism." This is one reason pregnant mothers should never get the flu or DTaP shot despite what the CDC recommends. Dr. Patterson proved in 2012 that "maternal immune activation yields male offspring with deficient social and communicative behavior, as well as high levels of repetitive behaviors, all of which are hallmarks of autism."
  3. A cytokine named interleukin-6 (IL-6) is the key biomarker for immune activation. Cytokines are chemical signals the immune system generates to fight inflammation. When IL-6 is elevated, scientists know the immune system is activated and trying to fight off some kind of invasion.
  4. Immune activation can take place after birth. A study published in Neuropsychopharmacology in January 2018 found, "early-life immune activation can lead to long-lasting physiologic perturbations that resemble medical comorbidities often seen in ASD and other neuropsychiatric conditions."
  5. Dr. Christopher Shaw of the University of British Columbia in Canada found that aluminum adjuvants in vaccines produced behavior and motor function deficits. Dr. Shaw was investigating whether vaccines caused Gulf War syndrome, so he gave aluminum hydroxide to male mice. His team was surprised how quickly the "behavioral deficits of motor function" emerged and ultimately showed "cognitive deficits" as well. He noted, "Once we sacrificed the animals and started looking inside their brains and spinal cords, we found massive damage to motor neurons." Aluminum compounds (aluminum hydroxide and aluminum phosphate) are currently used in the hepatitis A, hepatitis B, diphtheria-tetanus-pertusis (DTaP, Tdap), Haemopilus influenzae type b (Hib), human papillomavirus (HPV), and pneumococcus (PCV) vaccines. These vaccines are all part of the CDC recommended vaccine schedule for children. J.B. Handley states in his book, "The amount of aluminum being injected into children's bodies skyrocketed beginning in the 1990s for two reasons: (1) more vaccines were added to the schedule and (2) the number of kids receiving all vaccines rose (from 50 to 60 percent in the mid-1980s to over 90 percent today). A fully vaccinated child in the mid 1980s would have been injected with 1,250 micrograms of aluminum by his eighteen-month birthday. A fully vaccinated child today is injected with 4,925 micrograms of aluminum, a near quadrupling. Aluminum makes most vaccines "work." It's not the weakened strain of the hepatitis B virus (called the antigen), for example, that provokes an immune response when a child receives the hepatitis B vaccine. It's the aluminum adjuvant that provokes the immune response...Could an ingredient in vaccines whose purpose is to hyperstimulate the immune system trigger immune activation events in the brain at critical points during brain development?...It's important to understand that aluminum was grandfathered into pediatric vaccines without safety testing...Injecting aluminum has never been tested in the pediatric population." (bold emphasis added)
  6. When injected into the body, aluminum adjuvant in vaccines can be carried to the brain by macrophages. In 2013 French scientists Drs. Romain Gherardi and Josette Cadusseau at the University of Paris-Est discovered that when aluminum adjuvant enters the body, it isn't recognized by the body because it is a foreign substance. The macrophages grab it, but they don't have any way to eliminate it so they carry it around with them. They bring it into soft tissue areas like the brain. When the brain encounters the foreign substance, it reacts or activates. Here is the source of chronic brain inflammation.
  7. Aluminum adjuvant stays in the brain for much longer than anyone ever realized. The same French scientists mentioned above explained, "aluminum adjuvant can generate a long-term immune response because of its 'biopersistence,' which basically means our body has no ability to rid itself of aluminum adjuvant, because it's a man-made substance we have no natural designs to eliminate." The aluminum enters the body using a trojan horse method. Once the aluminum gets into the brain, the brain's immune system begins a constant battle to get rid of the aluminum, but this is a battle it can't win. Chronic inflammation and damage are the result.
  8. Small doses of aluminum adjuvant are the most dangerous. A 2016 study entitled "Non-linear Dose-Response of Aluminum Hydroxide Adjuvant Particles" showed that "low, consistent doses were more neurotoxic than a single bolus (large) dose." The smaller sizes of aluminum (200 mcg/Kg) were the most toxic because the macrophages easily ingested and transported those sizes. The 400 and 800 mcg/Kg doses were much less toxic because they are too big for the macrophages. These studies challenge the FDA and CDC findings on aluminum safety. It turns out that the entire basis for CDC calibration of aluminium safety is based on one study by Dr. Robert J. Mitkus in 2011. But his aluminum safety assessment was made on aluminum citrate (not aluminum hydroxide). The aluminum was infused (not injected) into adults (not children)! There is no other drug test on the planet (except vaccines) that would set safety standards without ever using the actual drug (aluminum hydroxide) administered in the proper way (intramuscular injection) into the proper patient population (infants). This is outrageous! What ever happened to "three strikes you're out"!?
  9. Aluminum causes immune activation in the brain. This was demonstrated in a 2015 study published in the Middle East. Scientists have long used aluminum to induce Alzheimer's in rats (that's a story for another day!). When they provoked Alzheimer's in rats, they noted a fourfold increase in IL-6. In addition, the aluminum caused an increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha and iNOS) in the hippocampus by 3.8 fold. Their brains were definitely inflamed.
  10. Hepatitis B vaccine induces IL-6 in postnatal (recently born) rats. The hep B vaccine increased IL-6 in the hippocampus. "Many of the effects of the hep B vaccine did not appear until age 8 weeks. This finding undermines claims of vaccine safety,  which are almost always based on short-term outcomes of a few days or weeks. Furthermore, 8 weeks is a long time in rats. 8-week old rats are almost fully mature adults. This suggests that adverse effects of vaccines may take years or decades to appear in humans. This is consistent with what is known about immune activation and schizophrenia. Immune activation in the fetus can cause schizophrenia 20-30 years later." J. B. Handley stated, "This is biological proof of the link between a vaccine given to a postnatal animal inducing an immune activation event, including the cytokine marker for autism, IL-6. A scientific first." (bolded emphasis added)
  11. High levels of aluminum are uniquely located in brain tissue of people with autism. Dr. Christopher Exley of Keele University in England discovered in 2017 that macrophages were escorting aluminum injected from a vaccine directly into the brain. The location of aluminum in the brain proved to him that, "aluminum adjuvant could be transported to the brain from a vaccine injection site."

​It seems quite clear from these eleven discoveries that aluminum in vaccines can trigger autism. The biological pathways and mode of operation are now firmly established by science. It is interesting to note that many parents of autistic children have reported that it was after receiving the MMR vaccine at month 13 that their child regressed into autism. There is no aluminum in the MMR vaccine. It is a live virus and thus does not require any adjuvant to stimulate the immune system. So, what is happening? Science can now provide an answer. The live virus provokes a strong  immune response as it should. One of the signals the immune system triggers is the release of something scientists call macrophage transport mechanism (MCP-1). MCP-1 is produced in the brain's microglia cells. It is a signal for summoning macrophages to travel to the brain. What seems to be happening is the brain now gets a swarm of macrophages. Those macrophages are carrying nanoparticles of aluminum from previous vaccine injections. Aluminum can lay dormant for years until a sufficient amount is carried into the brain leading to an immune activation event. This certainly explains how this apparent anomaly can occur.

One other obeservation. In 1999, in response to the FDA Modernization Act, the FDA began eliminating mercury from pediatric vaccines. By 2003, most of the thimerosal (mercury) was removed. Thimerosal was used as an anti-bacterial preservative in multidose vaccine vials. It is not an adjuvant to hyperstimulate the immune system. When the switch was made to single-dose vials, the need for thimerosal disappeared. This was a good thing because even the CDC published a study showing an increase in tics related to thimerosal levels in children. But aluminum levels are extremely high and growing. This is the heavy metal that needs to be addressed immediately. For more information on vaccinations, see my book, There's An Elephant in the Room - Exposing Hidden Truths in the Science of Health. ​
