Susceptible Groups
Our recent research demonstrating extremely high levels of aluminium in brain tissue in autism combined with the unique observation of the association of aluminium with immune cells and microglia in brain tissue highlights a possible role for aluminium in autism. Did the authors include prior exposure to aluminium as a factor determining possible susceptible groups? For example, vaccination including an aluminium adjuvant would constitute exposure to aluminium and especially in infants. So when different groups have been compared did you take into account their previous exposure to aluminium, for example in vaccinations that include an aluminium adjuvant. One reason to ask this would be the very real possibility that the MMR vaccine, which does not include an aluminium adjuvant, might catalyse the uptake into brain tissue of aluminium from the periphery in immune cells such as lymphocytes et c.. I would be interested to hear the authors' comments on this, thank you
