Welcome back, Larry Jones

Those are the two most common ways.

This is incorrect (sorry, Charlie). A single antacid tablet has 1,000 times more aluminum in it than a vaccine. And I imagine antacids are probably part of the average horse trainer's diet. Vaccines are not a notable source of aluminum. A baby ingests more from his momma's milk than he gets in a full course of vaccines. (Pause while I push my nerd glasses back up my nose)

But you're right; you do get it from a number of sources. American cheese is fairly high in it, and if you drink soda or beer from cans you're ingesting it, too. That said, aluminum reaching toxic levels in someone's body is pretty rare; it's likely Larry Jones has a predisposition to it. In any event, glad he's feeling better and back to training.

I forgot about antacids. However, there is a difference between ingesting it and having it injected into your blood.

That was quick. I hope when I retire, that's it.

Let's hope your retirement isn't encouraged by thousands of idiot strangers telling you that, in spite of caring for, loving and devoting your life to horses, you are a horse killer that deserves to die.

I'm glad he's decided to put himself in the public spotlight again. There was no valid reason for him to have to leave it in the first place.

Thousands sent Larry Jones death threats? LOL OK.

I didn't say thousands personally sent him death threats. Although he indeed received quite a few. There were certainly thousands out in the newspapers and internet, on horse sites and elsewhere, that said it. The PETA clowns certainly tried to make his life miserable. The worse was seeing that vitriol coming from "racing fans".
