DR PALEVSKY’S COMMENTS: All metals have the potential to be toxic to the human body. The degree of toxicity is dependent on the amount we are exposed to, the varieties of metals we are exposed to in combination, and the resilience our bodies have to withstand the exposure. In and of itself, the exposure to small amounts of cadmium may not hurt the human body. Cadmium becomes a problem, however, when it reacts with other metals that also enter the body - mercury, lead, and aluminum, to name a few. It's best to be mindful of heavy metal exposure - toys, water supplies, paint, makeup, pots, pans, cans, foil, silverware, canteens, furniture, vaccines - and try to limit the exposure. Genetics, diet, lifestyle, environment, and medical choices can all influence the degree of resilience we have. And, don't let anyone fool you into believing it's ok to inject a little bit of aluminum into the body. No study has ever looked at the effects on the cells of the human body when aluminum is injected, vs. what effects there are if we inhale or ingest aluminum, although there are animal studies showing that aluminum injected into the body causes nerve cell death and the accumulation of proteins in the brain that are found in Alzheimer's disease and other neuro-degenerative disorders. Receiving a vaccine that has the least amount of aluminum in it makes no sense. It's still toxic to the human body when injected.
