Additives used in the production of vaccines may include
1. suspending fluid (e.g. sterile water, saline, or fluids containing protein);
2. preservatives and stabilizers to help the vaccine remain unchanged (e.g. albumin, phenols, and glycine); and
3. adjuvants or enhancers that help the vaccine improve its work.
Common substances found in vaccines include:
* Aluminum gels or salts of aluminum which are added as adjuvants to help the vaccine stimulate a better response to the vaccine. Adjuvants help promote an earlier, more potent response, and more persistent immune response to the vaccine.
* Antibiotics which are added to some vaccines to prevent the growth of germs (bacteria) during production and storage of the vaccine.
* Egg protein is found in influenza and yellow fever vaccines, which are prepared using chicken eggs. Ordinarily, persons who are able to eat eggs or egg products safely can receive these vaccines.
* Formaldehyde is used to inactivate bacterial products for toxoid vaccines, (these are vaccines that use an inactive bacterial toxin to produce immunity.) It is also used to kill unwanted viruses and bacteria that might contaminate the vaccine during production.
* Monosodium glutamate (MSG) and 2-phenoxy-ethanol which are used as stabilizers in a few vaccines to help the vaccine remain unchanged when the vaccine is exposed to heat, light, acidity, or humidity.
* Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative that is added to vials of vaccine that contain more than one dose to prevent contamination and growth of potentially harmful bacteria.
For children with a prior history of allergic reactions to any of these substances in vaccines, parents should consult their child’s healthcare provider before vaccination.

The new $75,000 offer had no takers.
* On June 1, 2007, the offer was increased to $80,000.
* On July 1, 2007, the offer was increased to $85,000.
* On August 1, 2007, the offer was increased to $90,000.

How long does it take a medical breakthrough to be acted upon?
A Canadian doctor, Dr. Andrew Moulden says he conclusively proved
seven years ago that vaccines cause micro-vascular strokes. Dr Moulden
has a 21 year record of award-winning medical study and practice
starting at Nipissing University, but he has been unable to get the
attention of the College of Physicians or politicians to investigate
his findings, which have been corroborated by other doctors.
How vaccines cause micro-vascular strokes
Dr. Moulden says the shots cause our body's own immune systems to
hyper-react as large white blood cells naturally rush to attack the
foreign particles injected into our bloodstream. The white blood cells
are too big to enter, so they surround tiny capillaries where the
foreign particles land, clog and collapse the capillaries.
CBNNews.com - He was a normal 18 month old with a 10 word vocabulary. Then two days after Jeremy received a shot for diphtheria, whooping cough, and tetanus, he was in the hospital.
"He was hospitalized two days after the shot and he was running a fever of 103. And he was so hot that the nurse that was standing there could feel the heat radiating off his body." Jeremy's mother Lynn said.
For the last 29 years, Jeremy has not spoken an intelligible word.
Cases like this are not uncommon -- 4,500 families are suing the government because they believe vaccines caused their child's autism.
Since the 1980s, critics have questioned the safety and effectiveness of vaccines. Government health officials and most doctors insist the benefits are large and the problems exaggerated.
"The risks are far greater to your child of not getting immunized than any kind of speculative potential relationship between the vaccine and the development of autism," said Irwin Redlener, MD, Columbia University.
Barbara Loe Fisher of the National Vaccine Information Center says there are real problems, but many doctors are in denial. She said, "It can't be true -- because how, how, could they possibly really live with the idea that something that they try to do that was good - has turned out to be bad for a lot of people."
WHAT DO YOU THINK:
Are Vaccinations Safe for Your Kids?
Now a June survey of more than 10,000 families suggests the problems are more than speculative.
It found teenage boys vaccinated as children were:
--Twice as likely to suffer from autism
--Four times as likely to have Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
--And boys and girls of all ages - vaccinated as children - were more than twice as likely to have developed asthma.
At one time, Beth Miers thought vaccine critics were kooks.
"That's crazy, why would you not vaccinate your child?" Meirs believed. "You want to put your child in danger of developing those diseases? And so I really did think these people were way out there."
But her mind changed in March when a doctor found that her daughter, 8-year-old Emma, had high levels of toxic mercury - a preservative used in childhood vaccines until recently.
Beth first became suspicious last October after Emma had a flu shot.
"It was almost a depression, and she was having… negative thoughts that bothered her and she would say, 'Mommy I'm having the bad thoughts, I want them to go away.' And we would pray for them to go away-- and it was very concerning," Beth said.
She then began to look back and connect that with changes in Emma's behavior after she received shots as a toddler.
Emma ".developed allergies at 2 which is pretty young. sensitive to clothing, to heat. she would fall very easily. she reacted so strongly, just tears and screaming. those kinds of things, it just didn't seem right," Beth explained.
Emma showed some improvement after going on a healthier diet several years ago, but still struggled. Now with medical treatment to remove the mercury, taking supplements, and a diet free of wheat and milk, she's doing better.
"I would have really bad nightmares," Emma said. "And I also used to see colorful spots, and they also went away, too."
No one knows how many Emmas are out there -- subtle cases that never make it into the medical statistics. Many neurological experts consider such cases part of a spectrum of vaccine afflictions, from the tiniest damage to ADHD up through the worst, autism.
Mercury was taken out of kids' vaccines by 2004 - though not the flu shot - but vaccines still contain aluminum and dozens of other potentially harmful ingredients.
One of them is monosodium glutamate, or MSG - a potentially toxic flavor enhancer in some foods - yet an ingredient in many vaccines. John Erb has investigated vaccines as part of his work with autistic kids in the last 20 years.
Erb said, "If there are glutamate-bearing ingredients in that vaccine, think twice. Because science has proven for the last three decades that glutamate has a huge effect on living beings."
Brain expert Dr. Russell Blaylock believes much of the problem from vaccines is their effect on the cells of the brain's immune system called microglia.
For example:
-Invaders like viruses and bacteria activate the microglia, which return to normal after the threat.
-But vaccines - especially multiple vaccines injected the same day - can put the microglia into constant battle mode.
-In that mode, the brain turns on itself, causing what's known as "bystander damage."
A leading neurology journal seemed to confirm this with autopsies of autistic brains.
".They found all of them had over-activation of the brain's microglia, chronic brain inflammation, which is by this mechanism," Blaylock said.
Mercury, aluminum, and MSG are powerful activators of the microglia -- linking brain damage with vaccines. Fisher says the vaccine companies try to exclude that damage.
She explained, "The manufacturers conduct clinical trials and whenever anything bad happens in that clinical trial -- nine times out of 10 if not 10 times out of 10 -- they write off the health problem that occurs or the death that occurs as a coincidence."
So what can parents do to at least limit the side effects?
-Don't vaccinate a child who is sick or has had a previous severe vaccine reaction.
-Be careful about giving multiple vaccines on the same day, especially to premature babies.
-Tell your doctor if your child or your family has a history of autoimmune or nervous system disorders.
-Learn vaccine side effects so you can monitor your child after vaccination. In case of problems, immediately call your doctor.
Blaylock says, also, that the most important thing is good nutrition to build a strong immune system.
That's not just theory, that's history. The fall of mass death from infections occurred when nutrition improved on a large scale.
"When they looked at diphtheria and they looked at measles and they looked at all these infectious diseases that were killing so many people, they found a 75 percent, 90 percent, 50 percent drop in the number of people who were dying before the vaccine programs were ever started," Blaylock said.
In other words, the drop had nothing to do with the vaccines.
That kind of information is needed by parents, Fisher believes. Know the risks and the benefits. Then make an informed decision. And know that vaccine policy may need radical reform, so parents are allowed to pick and choose what's best for an individual child.
"We have to individualize the policies to begin with," Fisher said. "But we have to do the scientific studies to really determine whether a policy of using 48 doses of 14 vaccines before age 6 is a wise policy."
