VERY EASY TO READ AND COVERS EVERY POSSIBLE QUESTION YOU COULD HAVE ABOUT PEANUT ALLERGIES

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This is a very comprehensive book on peanut allergies. It is written for children, teens and adults who have peanut allergies. I was made aware of things I had not even thought about before. I also became more relaxed as I learned how to handle allergic reactions such as these. I highly recommend this book if you have a person who has peanut allergies in your home or not. This is an allergy that is becoming more prevalent and we should all be aware of how to protect and help those of all ages that have this allergy. If you yourself have this allergy it will provide much needed enlightenment as to what all the tests are for, what to be careful of, and what to do should you ingest peanut.

This book thoroughly covers all the basics of peanut allergy. It would be an excellent guide for someone new to the allergy. I have read other books and websites and I have been dealing with my child's severe peanut allergy for years, and I still learned a lot from it. It would also be a good resource for schools.

Once you have the dreaded peanut allergy, this book is pretty good. But wouldn't you rather not get it in the first place? Why is it the cause is unknown? Is our science that clueless?

Food allergies have become a major problem especially among children. Unless you work with children, you may not be aware of the extent of the problem. In the last 5 years there has been an "epidemic" of food allergies among children. It started at the same time the recommended number of vaccinations was substantially increased. It could be a coincidence or not. Vaccines are not regulated the same as food. Manufacturers can have "secret ingredients" not revealed on the package insert. This is protected by trade law. If you enjoy reading patents, you can find out many of the various ingredients used in the culture media and adjuvants. Many, many foods are listed. Peanut oil, sesame oil, wheat germ oil, soy oil, corn oil, walnut oil, almond oil are among the ingredients listed. A small amount of protein from these foods cannot be eliminated from the vaccine. It could be causing the food allergy epidemic. At the very least, physicians cannot advise their allergic patients very wisely if they don't know what is in the vaccine.
