After discovering a potentially fatal peanut allergy in our youngest son we had a hard time finding information and felt alone. As Liam continues through Primary School, we've decided to post the information we gather to help other parents of children with peanut allergies.

Alergy Alert - Crown, Lotte, Surasang

Post Comments (Atom)
In case you are unaware of the severity of the food allergy in the US and Canada:
ReplyDelete1 in 17 children under three have serious food allergy
1 in 125 children have a possibly FATAL peanut allergy
According to our mainstream medical - it is a mystery and probably because we're too clean. Pure garbage!
In a newly released book The History of the Peanut Allergy, Heather Fraser thoroughly documents how peanut oil came to be used in vaccinations without being listed on the package insert. Heather is a historian and mother of a child with a fatal peanut allergy.
Fatal peanut allergies aren't the only fatal food allergies.... it's all food oils.... sesame, walnut, almond, soy, corn, wheat germ, fish, shellfish...
How could this happen?
THE PEANUT OIL LABEL DEBATE:
"Largely unknown to the public, government and doctors have expressed concern regarding the allergenicity of refined peanut oil in processed foods and pharmaceuticals including vaccines. And they debated whether or not it should be labeled.
"IN FOODS: Refined peanut oil has been shown to sensitize and cause reactions. The most highly refined peanut oils contain trace levels of intact proteins, up to 0.2-2.2 ug/ml. Lower refined peanut oil could contain 3-6 ug/ml of protein. Thus in 2004, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) investigated and concluded that refined peanut oil in foodstuffs could cause reactions and that according to their guidelines it must appear on food labels. With the same information, the WHO in 2000 concluded the opposite -- that the oil in foodstuffs did not need to be labeled. The US FDA followed suit, acknowledging the presence of the proteins but because it had GRAS (generally recognized as safe) it did not need to be labeled.
"IN INJECTED DRUGS: where the oil appears in parenteral drugs such as vaccines used in Europe, labeling arachis oil on package leaflets as of 2001 was an expectation of EMEA, Euro Medicines Agency. It was expected although not a law that manufacturers should warn users of peanut oil used in any pharmaceutical product. In the US, labeling the oil in vaccines and drugs remained voluntary as well. The FDA has indicated that inactive ingredients that present an increased risk of toxic effects should be noted in the Contraindications, Warnings or Precautions sections of drug/vaccine labels/inserts.
"This labeling option in the US, Canada is supported by law. The exact composition of vaccines cannot and will not be disclosed under an exemption that protects business information with the Access to Information Act in Canada and the Freedom of Information Act in the US. Similarly, trade secrets are also exempt under the British Freedom of Information Act.
"Thus the guidelines to label refined peanut oil/moral obligation to label peanut oil are in conflict with laws protecting trade secrets. Full disclosure of excipients was not and continues not to be general practice in the US or Canada.
"Labeling has become a matter of least legal exposure within carefully worded vaccine product monographs."
http://www.peanutallergy.com/boards/general-discussion/main-discussion-board/peanut-allergy-and-the-role-of-vaccination#comment-229590 - Heather Fraser, author of "The History of the Peanut Allergy"
There is a good site http://peanutallergy.com that you can get translated by google that has alot of helpful information.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the CAUSE of the peanut allergy is now known although your medical community won't talk about it.
There is a new book out "The History of the Peanut Allergy Epidemic" by Heather Fraser. The World Health Organization, FDA, and other government agencies decided that peanut oil is GRAS "generally recognized as safe" and therefore can be used in all pharmaceuticals (including vaccines) without appearing as an ingredient on the package insert. Injecting children with peanut protein is what is causing this allergy epidemic. There is more information on my website http://barbfeick.com/vaccinations. You can buy Heather's book from her website. Heather lives in Toronto and is the parent of a child with a very serious peanut allergy.
