Don't Remember Peanut Allergies Growing Up?

VACCINES! Kids immune systems are being compromised and all the ingredients in the vaccines are wreaking havoc on our kids health. Allergies, Autism, ADHD, Asthma etc.....

I agree with you! My niece is allergic to peanuts (once she started having a reaction - throat and eyes swelling - just from being in a restaurant whose schtick was having a bucket of in-shell peanuts on every table, and people would shell them and throw the shells on the floor), and recently discovered that other nuts (pecans, almonds, etc.) hurt her stomach.

I've read that they use peanut oil or some derivative in some vaccines, and they're not required to disclose it, because it's not an "active agent" or something, it's just supposedly an inactive adjuvant. However, the article that I read queried, if vaccines can provoke the body to produce a response to the desired antigen, why can they not provoke the body into producing a response to anything else that is in the vaccine, or indeed, in the body at that time?

As a joke I was given Food Allergies for Dummies years ago. Turned out to be a great book. According to it, allergies evolve with each generation, much like a virus does. My son's fathers family has allergies to cats. From that my son is now allergic to both cats and dogs. Plus he got the bonus of a milk allergy.

I think autoimmune diseases are also going up. Personally, I blame hormone intake, both from the food we eat, as well as other sources. I know I came down with Lupus, and gluten intolerance after a doctor over-dosed me on estrogen. The first thing the internist took me off of was red meat, chicken and anything else that might contain hormones. The lupus has been in remission now for 9 years, but I still have the allergy to gluten. I do eat meat now, too.

Oh, they were around when I was a kid. I'm 37. They just weren't talked about as much. My best friend has been analytically allergic to peanuts and nuts of all kinds since she was a toddler (she's my age). So is her brother. We knew a few other kids growing up who were also allergic to peanuts.

I grew up with several food and seasonal and contact allergies, and my peanut and walnut allergies started to become unmanageable in high school. I'm allergic to various nuts at various levels, but those two are still the worst (yes, I know peanuts are not nuts, but legumes).

My dad has several severe seasonal and contact allergies. My mother has food sensitivities.

I am so glad you said that!!! I don't either, and I have thought this so many times. Would be interested in finding out!!!!!!!! I am very relieved none of my family has that allergy.

Here is a great video presentation of why this is an issue.....
