Have you ever wondered why so many kids these days are allergic to peanuts? Where did this allergy come from all of a sudden?
Before 1900, reactions to peanuts were unheard of. Today almost a 1.5 million childrenin this country are allergic to peanuts.
What happened? Why is everybody buying EpiPens now?
Looking at all the problems with vaccines during the past decade, [2] just a superficial awareness is enough to raise the suspicion that vaccines might have some role in the appearance of any novel allergy among children.
But reactions to peanuts are not just another allergy. Peanut allergy has suddenly emerged as the #1 cause of death from food reactions, being in a category of allergens able to cause anaphylaxis. This condition brings the risk of asthma attack, shock, respiratory failure, and even death. Primarily among children.
Sources cited in Heather Fraser’s 2011 book The Peanut Allergy Epidemic suggest a vaccine connection much more specifically. We learn that a class of vaccine adjuvants –excipients – is a likely suspect in what may accurately be termed an epidemic. [1]
But let’s back up a little. We have to look at both vaccines and antibiotics in recent history, and the physical changes the ingredients in these brand new medicines introduced into the blood of children.

While the article is compelling, I just don't buy it.
I clearly remember when my first child was born. The doctor handed me a schedule of when and what to feed her. I couldn't believe what I read. No peanut butter till the age of 2. He said that she could develop an allergy.
As soon as she could sit up on her own, she had a spoon of peanut butter in her hand. My mother did it for me and her mom before her. I strongly believe that this allergy is caused by not allowing children to slowly try things. To allow their bodies to build immunities to allergies.
Just my opinion.
This is BS in text format.
"Before 1900, reactions to peanuts were unheard of."
Peanuts were not a major food in the U.S. prior to the Civil War. Peanuts were used as food for livestock and the poor. Peanut consumption didn't really take off until the turn of the century.
Stupid logic, indeed.
Part of the suspicion on peanuts deals with fungal dust, or something like that...not the nuts themselves.
That would make sense that something has changed in production in the last 20 years.
My brother ate peanuts until he was 50, then WHAM, something changed. No more.
