Children’s medicines coated with brain-damaging aluminum

Aluminum Lake food coloring, used to heavily coat liquid medicines for children, contains dangerous amounts of aluminum and harmful synthetic petrochemicals. These “petrochemicals” are carcinogens containing petroleum, antifreeze and ammonia, which cause a long list of adverse reactions. Aluminum poisoning can lead to short and long term central nervous system (CNS) damage, such asmemory impairments, autism, epilepsy, mental retardation, and dementia.

Research shows that just 4ppm of aluminum can cause the blood to coagulate. This is what causes Alzheimer’s Disease and has been documented to inhibit learning. Aluminum consumption can also be associated with the development of bone disorders, including stress fractures.

Also known as tartrazine, FD&C Yellow Aluminum Lake is a chemical concoction derived from coal tar. It is known to be a reproductive toxin. All artificial colors contain Aluminum Lake, so when your child gets to pick between red, blue or green medicine, they’re really choosing which poison they get to consume. Several chemically enhanced food colorings contain ammonia and therefore produce compounds proven to cause various cancers in animal studies, according to CSPI, the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

Most widely used food colors and their damaging actions:

•Blue #1: Research shows it causes kidney tumors in mice.

•Blue #2: Research shows even higher incidence of tumors, specifically gliomas in male rates (a type of tumor that starts in the brain or spine).

•Red #2: Toxic to rodents, even at modest levels, and causes tumors of the bladder.

A d v e r t i s e m e n t

•Red #3: FDA recognized it in 1990 as a cause of thyroid cancer in animals. It was banned in cosmetics, but still allowed in food and medicine.

•Red #40: Most popular dye of all. Debilitates the immune-system in mice. Allergic reactions common.

•Green #3: Causes bladder and testes tumors.

•Yellow #5: Affects behavior andinducessevere hypersensitivity reactions.

•Yellow #6: Causes adrenal tumors in animals.

The following is taken directly from FDA’s Regulatory Process and Historical Perspectives: “Color additives are important components of many products, making them attractive, appealing, appetizing, and informative. Added color serves as a kind of code that allows us to identify products on sight, like candy flavors and medicine dosages.” Really?! Decoding medicine dosages on sight?

There has been a 55% increase in U.S. toxic food dyes just since the year 2000. There are over 15 million pounds of dyes put in foods, drinks, candy and medicine every year, and the FDA does nothing to protect consumers from the colorful barrage of poison.

Studies reveal that children have consumed as much as three pounds of dye by the age of twelve

Here are some popular product and “brand” names you may mistake as exempt products: RD&C dyes and colors in baked goods, beverages, candy, cereal, drugs, pet food, personal care products, cosmetics, cough syrups, NyQuil,Tylenol, Robitussin,Jello, gelatins, Cheetos, Skittles, Fruity Pebbles, Marachino cherries, sausage, Mountain Dew, Doritos, chewing gum, and powdered drink mixes.

American companies doing business in Europe currently have to change their products to natural colorings to meet European Union strict regulations. The FDA’s rationale is that because artificial food colorings are used mainly in foods and medicines of low or no nutritional value, that the American public should “already be aware” of health implications, so it doesn’t matter if other toxins are added.

What are your options as opposed to poisonous medicines? Consult a naturopath (ND) for advice on ingredients in food and medicine.

Comment by Cryptocurrency on February 1, 2012 at 4:31am: Right, Tommy. Yet the anger must first be felt and experienced fully to take action and transform that energy into a greater force of virtue. Anger is a secondary emotion that translates the language of an instinctual recognition to a psychosomatic threat, echoed by intellect, and made real through action of appropriate response. The actualization of this process becomes the synthesis for massing hordes of heavy handed warriors forged in the fire of free will. Free to live, and thrive as master creators of destiny with reverence and recognition of Providence and universal assimilation to a higher purpose. Anger must be exercised and induced if we are to seek justice, the positive transmutation of anger's essence.

The wise since antiquity have known this and trained the greatest warriors of all time in the secret chambers of earth, wind, fire, and water, from whence came the ether of the warrior archetype. Behind the shield is the sword. The sword is held by the hand but wielded by the heart. Let no man parish who has fought for the love that stirreth in the depths of his being.

Put that in the liberty bong and smoke it ;)

I must ask you, is American English your primary language? Some of the things I have read from you are interesting but it is really hard to understand what you are saying at times....
