Formaldehyde and Vaccines... - Page 2  

post #21 of 31
there are plenty of naturally occurring elements (all of them are) that doesn't mean we should go around injecting them into our infants.

Fun times at the nail salon today while getting a mani/pedi...several fellow clients discussing the recent availability and merits of formaldehyde-free nail polish.

There is a market for formaldehyde-free NAIL POLISH but it's still ok to inject vaccines that contain it into babies?

this is what i'm really wondering about... so they are working on taking formaldehyde out of everything else, saying it's unsafe everywhere else, yet it's okay to be in the vaxes!?

The logic is that it really is a dose so small that it basically can't cause harm. I'm seriously freaked out by the aluminum content in vaccines when given "on the schedule"...I worry about adventitious agents in the live vaccines. There are lots and lots and lots of valid reasons to not be a fan of vaxes and their ingredients. But I'm just not seeing formaldehyde as being one of the reasons to worry.
Even injected, via multiple shots in one day in a small infant...it's not going to even cause a "blip" in the "background noise" of the same thing our own bodies produce. It's honestly an amazingly small amount of a substance our own bodies produce. There is no logical way it's harmful. I think we should focus on articulating our problems with stuff like aluminum, where there is loads of evidence that it might be a really bad idea to inject that in those quantities.

I honestly don't know much about nail polish and formaldehyde, but "niche markets" can open up for products even when the former was superior.
I mean, there is a thriving market for "Earn $100,000 a month from home!!" programs, but that doesn't really mean anything other than that people are gullible.

Mamakay, I agree that formaldehyde is but one of many ingredients in vaccines, is found in small amounts, and surely is trumped by other ingredients like aluminum, for instance.

My point was to highlight the irony of the fact that due to market demand, cosmetics companies have responded by creating formaldehyde-free nail polish, but parent's concerns about vaccine ingredients are met with platitudes of "oh, it's not harmful" and "it's just a tiny amount in there."

Women are asking for, and getting purer, contaminant/preservative-free cosmetics and many companies have created entire lines of such products, but when parents want the same for their children in regards to vaccines, all of a sudden they're branded as anti-vaccine.

It's insane.

A small amount for one child may be too much for another. There is no way to know (just like with the peanut allergy example). So to say that it is such a small amount and then assume that it will not affect any child, doesn't make sense when you look at the individual. And yes, natural and synthetic are different, but that is a whole other discussion.

And what about multiple ingredients being injected together. Have these things been studied together to see what their potential toxicity is when combined? We know that two things given separately, do not neccessarily equal them given together. So where is the science that shows that all of these toxins given together are safe. Isn't that what we are really dealing with. These ingredients are not given in separate shots at separate times, but all together, so it doesn't matter so much their individual toxicity.

I should have mentioned that my son was allergy tested as an infant and came up positive for a peanut allergy. Even though that's been cut out of our diet, he still has eczema.

I took him to a chiropractor and she did some work on him and suggested we cut out wheat. I haven't done it yet because I'm just too intimidated by it.

Anyway, you are right. Eczema almost always indicates a food allergy.

sorry, i was being facetious. i know the theory of it not causing a blip, and i too worry about the aluminum. i'm suspicious of the cumulative effect of such a chemical cocktail. i can't really subscribe to the sweeping sentiment that it's illogical to think it can be harmful in such small quantities (the formaldehyde) especially considering it's a synthetic form. again, every body is different, and what causes a catastrophic systemic reaction in one doesn't even cause a blip on the radar of another.
