I was curious about all the peanut allergies – 1 in 70 people in the UK and that includes adults. Most of the food allergies are in children.

Why would children be allergic to peanuts? Some children fatally allergic?

I read in the book “Healing the New Childhood Epidemics, Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies”, by Kenneth Bock, M.D. and Cameron Stauth about his theories about allergies and how he is actually healing the children. The puzzle of why peanuts should be a major allergy, I found puzzling. But I have an idea…

What if…. peanut products are used in childhood immunizations? If that was the case, then the source of the allergy was in the shot that was injected into the child’s bloodstream and directly caused the allergy.

I was horrified with what I found out. Peanut oil is used in vaccines in adjuvants or as a vaccine carrier. The ingredients of adjuvants or vaccine carriers are not listed individually on the package insert. So the physician would have no way of knowing that there was peanut oil in the vaccine. The ingredients of adjuvants is considered a “trade secret” and has the protection of many governments not to be revealed.

Even though the peanut oil is highly refined, it still contains minute traces of peanut protein. And not just peanuts but vaccine manufacturers use just about every food known to man! I found the ingredients of the vaccine adjuvants by reading patents.

So you get vaccinated. Maybe there is a 1 in 24 chance that you got the vaccine that has the peanut protein in it. You were unlucky. If you were an infant, you might not actually eat peanuts for 6 months to a year after the vaccine that created the allergy. Or if you were an adult and you got a vaccine for something, you might not connect the severe allergic reaction to shellfish with that vaccine that had a trace of shellfish protein in the fish oil that was in the vaccine adjuvant. No wonder nobody has connected the dots and figured out that vaccines may be causing food allergies!

My allergist also gave some good advice on the cumlative effect of different allergies- think of it as a glass being filled with drips of water. So one allergy adds some, another slight allergy adds just a little and then the water flows over the top. That’s why you can all of the sudden have a fierce reaction to something you are only moderately allergic to.

If your son has many airborne allergies, they will probably change over time. I have found (and this was confirmed by another allergist) that you have about a 1-2 year grace period when you move someplace new before you are allergic to their indegenous plants, molds, etc.
