The deadly peanut allergy
If my theory is correct, and I believe it is, then these statistics for allergies and asthma need to be added to the statistics for immunizations. Once that is done, the argument for early immunization of children shows itself to be highly flawed.

Peanut allergy
is a very deadly problem and if it is a side effect of the immunizations
given to American children especially when it kills, then those deaths
must be added to the statistics of the immunizations.
Here are some of the stories on deadly peanut allergy from the Internet:

Doctors report
rare case of nut allergy transfer in liver recipient
Last Updated: Monday, January 27, 2003 | 7:32 PM ET
CBC News
A man developed a life-threatening nut allergy within a month of receiving
a liver transplant, Australian doctors say…. The organ donor was a
15-year-old boy who died of an allergic reaction to peanuts.

Do you know of
any desensitization treatment for my son (turning 5 years old in December)
who has a fatal allergy to nuts (peanuts and all types of
nuts)?..Life-threatening allergies to tree nuts and peanuts must be
considered lifelong conditions

Reasons that
have been suggested for an actual increase in cases include changes in
diet and changes in manufacturing techniques for processed foods, which
could expose and sensitize more and more people.
[Maybe it is the change in the immunization schedule for
young children, the increased number of immunizations, and producing the
bacteria/viruses for those immunizations by feeding the bugs peanut
meal....-bfg]
Because it is
life-threatening, peanut allergy is the first target of a new Food Allergy
Research Consortium, which will receive about $17 million from the allergy
institute. [Interesting that we will study how to fix the allergy
with more immunizations instead of finding out why the fatal peanut
allergy suddenly appeared in the world. - bfg]

Vonder Meulen
and her husband, Paul, who have two other children, had known
since Emily was a toddler that she had an allergy to peanuts, and
Emily was constantly vigilant about staying away from them.
But, her
mother said, no one in the family had ever imagined that it could be
fatal.
Since losing their daughter, the Vonder Meulens have created a memorial
fund and a Web site, www.foodallergyangel.com, to raise awareness of the
dangers of food allergies in the hope that they can spare other parents
the loss they live with every day.
It is, said
TODAY medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman, a growing problem in the United
States and in other developed nations. An estimated 12 million Americans
suffer from food allergies, with 6.9 million allergic to seafood and
3.3 million allergic to peanuts or tree nuts. Eight foods
— milk, eggs, nuts, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish — account for 90
percent of food allergies.

Peanut
allergy: dining with death
21 June 2006 by Anna Gosline
Magazine issue 2557
IT BEGAN with
a shortness of breath. Twenty minutes later my ears were so inflamed I
could barely hear. Angry red hives covered my neck and chest, which didn’t
go too well with my black dinner dress. You see, I was at a college ball
the first time a peanut tried to kill me.

Peanut allergy
can be deadly
Even trace amounts can trigger severe reaction
BALTIMORE, Maryland (CNN) — Peanuts are as American as baseball —
Americans ate nearly 1.7 billion pounds of them last year, according to
the Georgia Peanut Council.
But for those with peanut allergies, even 1/1,000 of a peanut can
cause a severe reaction….
Food allergic reactions cause an estimated 30,000 emergency room
visits and kill 150 to 200 people a year….

Deaths from
peanut allergy
Fifty-four percent of fatal food allergic reactions reported in
the United States from 2001-2006 were from peanuts. [11]
Reports of
death from peanut allergy in 2008 include:
Andrew Michael
Smith (age 8) died February 2008 after he accidentally came into contact
with peanut allergens at home. [12]
Carol Kiener, (age 66) died March 2008 after suffering a severe allergic
reaction to peanuts.[13]
Paul Anthony Thurston (age 30) died April 2008 after being served a peanut
butter & jelly sandwich in jail.[14]
Daniel Sargent (age 30) died July 2008 after eating a cookie that had
peanut butter in it at a party.[15]
Brian Hom II (age 18) died July 2008 after eating a dessert containing
traces of peanuts while at a resort in Cabo San Lucas.[16]
Dexter Skinner (age 16) died July 2008 after eating a chocolate bar.[17]
Mark Nicholson (age 28) died November 2008 after eating a chilli burger
that was suspected of having an ingredient derived from peanuts.[18]
The 2005 death
of Christina Desforges, which was initially reported as a result of
exposure to peanuts, spurred many parents to speak out about the dangers
of peanut butter and jam sandwiches at schools or peanut shells on the
floors of restaurants.[19] However, according to a coroner’s statement in
March 2006, Ms. Desforges did not die of anaphylactic shock caused by a
kiss from her boyfriend after he ate a peanut butter snack, but in fact
died as a result of asthma-linked respiratory failure, which was triggered
by tobacco smoke at a party. [Hmmmm... did she get the asthma attack
immediately after the kiss? Was the boy smoking, too? I've flossed my
teeth hours later and found food particles... did they floss his teeth and
test his saliva? - bfg] Research by Jennifer Maloney suggests that
peanut allergens normally leave the saliva after about an hour.[20]

So when I asked
about the long terms of triclosan, the drug used on almost all
anti-bacterial cosmeceuticals, including toothpaste; the guy looked at me
and said : "We don't need to know".
"What do you
mean you don't need to know?"
He told me that
the company was not asked to provide data on what the long-term effects
could be. They were only asked to fulfill the minimum amount of testing
required by the FDA for approval. That was the law, as so they complied. I
remember asking the guy : "So, if it has any long-term effects on the
natural bacterial flora of human skin or mouth, it's none of your business".
To which he gave me an uncomfortable nod. I was ferklempt. I couldn't
believe the potential long-term consequences on the immune system were not
being studied. I asked him, "Don't you want to know". And to my astonishment
he answered : "I shouldn't, for liability reasons".
...Injury and
death from physician-monitored prescription drug use is expected. The
death or neurological damage of children from a vaccine is expected as
normal.

If my theory is correct, and I
believe it is, then these statistics for allergies and asthma need to be
added to the statistics for immunizations. Once that is done, the argument
for early immunization of children shows itself to be highly flawed.
