Do the ingredients from vaccines enter the liver???

[zachattack]

Our ped. told us not to use sunblock because it would get into our 3 month old son's liver. (we weren't going to use it) Anyway, how can it be safe to inject babies with toxins from vaccines that enter the liver? I ask this because it seems so easy to assume that vaccines(certainly the high number we give in the US) would be unsafe because the toxins get into the liver.
What am I missing? Do these ingredients not pass through the liver?

Yes they are!! I have also read that vaccines can inhibit drug metabalizing enzymes in the liver. I am not 100% sure though.

So you get a certain vaccine and take a medication and the vaccine prevents the liver from doing it's job properly in metabalizing the medication.

Here is a study that shows aluminum gets into the liver (as well as many other organs including the brain)

Everything I've ever read about the liver in the tons of health books I have read has said that everything we put on our skin and everything that we put in our bodies (no matter the route) the liver has to process.

Well, not a professional here, but here's my take. Liver filters blood. Vaccine ingredients get into blood stream just like everything else (ex. we have aluminum-brain deposits and others). So blood would carry all of that to the liver and other organs, no?

There are a million conflicts like that when it comes to vaccines. My dd got the full round of 2-month vaxes. By the time she was 4 months old, I had researched a lot. At that age she got a very small second-degree burn on her inner arm (from the carseat buckle!). When I called the nurse, she warned me to use polysporin on it, not neosporin, because my dd could have a bad reaction to the neomycin in it. So... putting neomycin on a tiny patch of unbroken skin is dangerous... but injecting it into her via the polio vaccine was safe??

Yes. And the liver does not start producing bile (to process toxins of any sort) until 6 months.

Do you have a source for this? I googled and every thing I found seems to indicate that the liver produces bile right away.

This info is a bit different, but interesting. http://www.journals.elsevierhealth.c...00666/abstract

Jaundice is related to liver function, also. My DD's bilirubin was rising though it wasn't yet in the jaundice level. I had to use liver supporting herbs because it wouldn't come down on its own. A lot of newborns have more bilirubin than they should, so it's obvious liver function in a newborn is not fantastic.

That is interesting. That link confirms that bile production happens right away and not at 6 months.

There is a rapid induction of functions such as transamination, glutamyl transferase, synthesis of coagulation factors, bile production and transport as soon as the umbilical supply is interrupted.

But it also says:

Full maturity takes up to two years after birth to be achieved

and

Preterm infants are at special risk of hepatic decompensation because their immaturity results in a delay in achieving normal detoxifying and synthetic function.

So regardless of when bile production happens, the liver isn't fully functioning until 2 years. Also explains why premies have so much trouble with the Hep B.
