Herbal Remedy Could Halt Peanut Allergy

where ever i lived in the last 20 years nobody had bigger allergies than a mild to strong pollen allergy and you knew that maybe someone has an allergy of some weird kind but nothing thats "known". only in america i hear it all the time that people have mild to very strong reactions to peanuts, even ban them from school and airlines. which is totally unknown almost every where in europe besides england. one indicator is that americans eat a lot of peanuts because they are produced in the states what makes them cheap and isn't the case in europe. european manufacturers have to import nuts from eastern countries. therefore they're less used in products or bought by consumers in general. i know in most countries you buy nuts either in cans like in america as a "product" from some "brand" or you can even buy them whole in open netbags with leaflets still around them by kilogram like walnuts or hazelnuts. kinda like you would buy fruits. all that might explain that there is just a higher exposure to peanuts in this country vs. others which (i read on wiki) even has influence on a gene level by now and leads to a higher risk of getting peanut allergy.

I think Shanna has a very valid point - All of the processed junk we've been eating could be the cause of lowered immunities and definitely cause for worry for all sorts of ailments. But aren't alot of other countries eating the same junk and not seeing the same amount of allergy issues as the US? Is it b/c they don't eat peanuts most places?Also, the vaccines could be the issue too. I've already beat myself up over eating pb&j sandwiches while pregnant. But what can be done once your kid is already highly allergic? My son has a severe peanut allergy and he's almost 6, he's had all of his vaccinations so that's past and we try to eat healthy though we haven't banned all processed foods. There are many brands out there that say no trans fats but the no high fructose corn syrup thing hasn't caught on yet for sure. I wish they would hurry it up with either the herbal medicine or the English treatment plan because I think once you have such a severe allergy you're stuck with it despite best efforts.

Peanut allergies seem to be an American thing. I asked about that and somebody pointed out that Americans cook peanuts differently than Chinese, and Chinese eat about the same amount of peanuts yet have far fewer allergies.
There's a study going on looking at how to cure peanut allergies by exposing kids to extremely small amounts of peanut proteins growing to more over time. It seems to be working pretty well. I read about it here:

I agree with Barb of OH. I vaccinate my boys, too though. I have recently learned that Vaccines might not be the cause for all the Autism that is ocurring. It is likely High Fructose Corn Syrup. It is made using Caustic soda in the first step of processing corn to make HFCS. Caustic Soda is created using Mercury. SO the corn absorbs the Mercury then we are consuming it in everything we eat... all snack, processed, sweet foods are using some amount of this. I only learned this because of all the label reading and research I must do to protect my kids from their Peanut, Tree Nuts, Whole Egg, Corn, and other allergies. The general public has no idea. The medical community doesn't either. They proved that the small amount of Thimerasol in vacs wouldn't cause it to develop. Of course not... it is all the other junk we eat that contains HFCS then the vaccine just is the last little drop needed to push us over to Autism. People need to go back to whole fresh foods, pure meats, no preservatives or additives. That is why the upsurge in these Allergies. There were little to no substitutions or fillers, fakes in the way we used to eat before the last 50 years. It is not convenient I know, but it is so much better for all of us. Obesity, Diabetes, Allergies, Autism, ADD I/H, Eczema, Alzheimer's, Arthritis... so many of these would be eradicated just by changing our eating habits. I don't need a cure. Yes, I want one, because my kid's would have a little easier time, not so much worry, anxiety, and fear of all this stuff killing them. But, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" we all know why. What will symptoms/side effects will we deal with instead. I will not succumb to false security. I will stay vigilant. So should you. Protect yourselves. The government is not your friend, Big Pharma is not your Friend, FDA is not your friend, Us Ag is not your friend. They grow this, change it, legislate it, push it, and make trillions on it. They like the system we have now, it keeps people filling their hospitals, their pharmacies, and their wallets. That is all I have to say about it for now... Don't be sheep people... WAKE UP!

Instead of curing a peanut allergy, why not prevent it? Vaccines can use peanut oil in the vaccine adjuvant and peanut protein in the culture medium. This is a trade secret and doesn't have to appear on the package insert. It is only since the number of vaccines was substantially increased about 6 years ago that we had a new epidemic of peanut allergies. When I was a child we got 1-2 vaccinations. Now children are supposed to get 48 doses of 14 vaccines by age six and 53-56 doses of 15 or 16 vaccines by age 12.

Good news
It would be a relief. I just had my daughter's check-up with her allergist last week to update her allergy condition to peanut and fish.She is still very positive for peanuts, but she can tolerate some species of fish.Since she already turned 13, her doctor said her peanut allergy might be lifelong. This news could be a heaven sent remedy and hopefully 100%safe.I'm always praying that the Lord always protect her and that she outgrows her allergies to live a normal life.
