"I hope they have thought that through. We have enough people allergic to insects already." Exactly my concern as well that I conveyed to Flublok. I don't think food proteins act as adjuvants. Most vaccines contain alum as an adjuvant. Just as adjuvants make the vaccine more effective. I suspect the adjuvants also make the food proteins in the vaccines more effective in terms of developing food allergies. As I wrote before, alum is injected along with ovalbumin into BALB/c mice as a demonstration of the allergy model. Such mice subsequently exhibit allergy symptoms when challenged with ovalbumin.

My understanding is that these proteins are in the medium used to grow the virus or bacteria. Unless people admit that current vaccines/injections have a contamination problem that causes food allergy, they are not going to be looking for alternatives or developing alternatives. Food proteins processed by the human digestive system are safe for absorption into the blood stream. So any medium that mimics food proteins processed by the human digestive system could be an alternative. Thanks.

"It is because the benefits far outweigh any risk." In a vaccine vs. no vaccine debate, yes. In a safe vaccines vs. unsafe vaccines debate, I don't think so. The cost of developing safer vaccines does not outweigh the cost of the number of children lost to anaphylaxis. More evidence from the CDC: The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has a document called "Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)". You can find it here. Reference 168 in the document is the following paper: Sakaguchi M, Nakayama T, Inouye S. Food allergy to gelatin in children with systemic immediate-type reactions, including anaphylaxis, to vaccines. J Allergy Clin Immunol 1996;98:1058--61. Link to the paper. The paper concludes: Twenty-four of the 26 children with allergic reactions to vaccines had anti-gelatin IgE ranging from 1.2 to 250 Ua/ml. Seven had allergic reactions on ingestion of gelatin-containing foods. Of these, two had reactions before vaccination, and five had reactions after vaccination. All the control children without allergic reactions to vaccines had no anti-gelatin IgE. CONCLUSION:We reconfirmed a strong relationship between systemic immediate-type allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, to vaccines and the presence of specific IgE to gelatin. Moreover, some of the children also had allergic reactions to food gelatin before or after vaccination. " Or why do we dare to use cars as the toxins produced are well-known to have adverse effects on human health?" We have admitted that cars pollute and are working on cleaning up. 17 years after Sakaguchi M et. al. above, we have not even admitted it is problem. Food allergies are not even listed as a possible side effect on vaccine inserts. The first step to address a problem is to admit that it exists. Thanks.

Not all vaccines have food proteins (fortunately). The quantity of food proteins in vaccines also varies more than a thousand-fold. http://www.chop.edu/service/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-safety/vaccine-ingredients/gelatin-allergies.html Gelatin content of vaccines licensed in the United States, 2008 Vaccine Trade Name Quantity (per dose) DTaP Tripedia 0.0015 mg influenza Fluzone ≤0.025 mg Flumist 2 mg measles, mumps, rubella MMR II 14.5 mg varicella Varivax 12.5 mg shingles Zostavax 15.58 mg rabies Rabavert < 12 mg As I wrote before, at a higher level, the mechanism that makes a vaccine work and gives you protection is the exact same mechanism involved in giving you food allergies. You can think of immunity to a virus as developing an allergy to that virus in the vaccine. The first dose of a vaccine gives ~70% of the recipients protection. The second dose ~99%. The third gets very close to 100%. Same for food allergies. More doses of the same vaccine can be expected to give more people food allergies. http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=40649 "Wood says that research over the last three decades indicates that the number of people with allergies is skyrocketing in developed and developing countries, but not in underdeveloped areas." The most likely source of peanut allergy is Vitamin K injections given to newborns to prevent Vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB). Unlike vaccines, getting the ingredient list of injections is not easy. We know they contain fatty acids. Likewise, vaccines contain lipids. With such broad categories, it is difficult to investigate. Could be a wide variety of nut oils and/or peanut oil. Vaccines contain casein (milk), eggs, yeast, gelatin, agar (seaweed derived). Seaweed can contaminate seafood and account for seafood allergies. That covers the majority of food allergies. For details, please see: https://sites.google.com/site/vaccineinducedfoodallergy/ Dr. Platts-Mills [3], shows that tick bites introduce alpha-gal into the blood stream resulting in people developing alpha-gal allergy (red meat allergy). Subsequent exposure to red meat can cause anaphylaxis. Charles Richet injected sea anemone toxin into a dog and it developed an allergy to it. Subsequent injection of the same toxin caused anaphylaxis. When stomach acid is reduced, food proteins we eat are not broken down. The food proteins are absorbed intact into the bloodstream. Just as if you received a food protein contaminated vaccine. Untersmayr [4], shows omeprazole - a stomach acid reducer caused patients to develop food allergies. Then of course we have Nakayama T et al. demonstrating gelatin in vaccines causing gelatin allergy. Intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin and alum into BALB/c mice and demonstrating development of allergy is of course a commonly used experiment in immunology. So we have several independent and varied sources of information all confirming the exact same immune system allergy development mechanism at work. Then of course we have increasing number food protein contaminated vaccine doses correlating with skyrocketing food allergies. If some people think all of this is some how a grand coincidence that must be dismissed, I am sorry I don't think I can help. I expect reasonable people to look at this and demand that CDC/FDA and vaccine makers immediately work to save our children. For those interested in the details of the actual mechanism: When food proteins are injected in to the blood stream, a type I hypersensitivity reaction against an allergen, encountered for the first time, causes a response in a type of immune cell called a TH2 lymphocyte, which belongs to a subset of T cells that produce a cytokine called interleukin-4 (IL-4). These TH2 cells interact with other lymphocytes called B cells, whose role is the production of antibodies. Coupled with signals provided by IL-4, this interaction stimulates the B cell to begin production of a large amount of a particular type of antibody known as IgE that are specific to the food proteins. Secreted IgE circulates in the blood and binds to an IgE-specific receptor (a kind of Fc receptor called FcεRI) on the surface of other kinds of immune cells called mast cells and basophils, which are both involved in the acute inflammatory response. The IgE-coated cells, at this stage are sensitized to the allergen (food proteins).[1] [2] Mast cells and basophils are found in large numbers in and around the mouth. These locations are prone to injury and thus need more protection against infection. These mast cells and basophils are now IgE-coated and primed to react to the food proteins. If the vaccinated person now eats these foods, the food proteins bind to the IgE molecules held on the surface of the mast cells or basophils in the mouth. Cross-linking of the IgE and Fc receptors occurs when more than one IgE-receptor complex interacts with the same food allergenic molecule, and activates the sensitized cell. Activated mast cells and basophils undergo a process called degranulation, during which they release histamine and other inflammatory chemical mediators (cytokines, interleukins, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins) from their granules into the surrounding tissue causing several systemic effects, such asvasodilation, mucous secretion, nerve stimulation and smooth muscle contraction. This results in rhinorrhea, itchiness, dyspnea, and anaphylaxis. Depending on the individual, the allergen, and the mode of introduction, the symptoms can be system-wide (classical anaphylaxis), or localized to particular body systems; asthma is localized to the respiratory system and eczema is localized to the dermis.[2] In other words, an allergic reaction occurs to the foods that contain the food proteins which were present in the vaccine. Thanks.

Arete, You wrote the paper "speculates that vaccines may have a causal relationship in the development of allergies." The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology I believe is a reputed peer reviewed journal. It is not going to accept and publish speculation as you claim the paper's conclusion to be. If it is speculation as you claim, the CDC has chosen the paper as reference to base its recommendation on immunization practices. Perhaps you have just stumbled on yet another reason to be concerned about CDC's ability to keep vaccines safe. So which one is it? "Any would be a start." Dr. Platts-Mills [3], Untersmayr [4], and Nakayama T, Aizawa C, Kuno-Sakai H. A clinical analysis of gelatin allergy and determination of its causal relationship to the previous administration of gelatin-containing acellular pertussis vaccine combined with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids. J Allergy Clin Immunol 1999;103:321--5, have all demonstrated the same mechanism over and over again. In fact, this effect is used to teach immunology. BALB/c mice are intraperitoneally injected with ovalbumin and alum. When challenged with ovalbumins later, the mice exhibit anaphylaxis. So papers referenced above and Charles Richet's findings are bogus? You can start with this: "the rise in allergy and asthma that has occurred since the 1950's is certainly not explained by changes in the frequencies of susceptibility alleles in the human population. there must be another reason. pollution was pretty much ruled out by the re-unification of germany, when it was found that eastern germany, which had had much pollution but little allergy suddenly started having allergy rates similar to western germany. perhaps it would be worth having a look at their vaccine protocols?" You can see Dr.Matzinger's full response here. http://www.foodallergy.org/facts-and-stats "A 2008 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that there was an 18 percent increase in food allergy between 1997 and 2007." http://www.chop.edu/service/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-schedule/history-of-vaccine-schedule.html 1995 - 5 vaccines. 2005 - 9 vaccines. Just the number of vaccines. Each vaccine is of course administered multiple times.

Vaccinations vs. no vaccinations is the wrong debate. We are talking about safe vaccines vs. today's unsafe vaccines. To perform a cost/benefit analysis of safe vs. unsafe vaccines, first the CDC/FDA and vaccine manufacturers have to admit their vaccines are unsafe and cause food allergies. The evidence is overwhelming. A vaccine works by injecting viral proteins into the blood stream. The immune system develops a response which is used to rapidly react to a future introduction of the same viral protein. The immune system however, does not know the difference between viral proteins and food proteins. All foreign proteins are treated the same. Charles Richet demonstrated this a hundred years ago. Since then, the same mechanism has been demonstrated numerous times. Dr. Platts-Mills [3], Untersmayr [4], and Nakayama T, Aizawa C, Kuno-Sakai H. A clinical analysis of gelatin allergy and determination of its causal relationship to the previous administration of gelatin-containing acellular pertussis vaccine combined with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids. J Allergy Clin Immunol 1999;103:321--5, have all demonstrated the same mechanism over and over again. In fact, this effect is used to teach immunology. BALB/c mice are intraperitoneally injected with ovalbumin and alum. When challenged with ovalbumins later, the mice exhibit anaphylaxis. Kids vaccine schedules have increased to 20-30 vaccines. In one sitting they get up to 5 vaccines. With 5 vaccines loaded with food protein contaminants, 5 doses worth of powerful adjuvants (that boost the immune response to both the viral proteins and food proteins) circulating in the blood stream at a time, the predictable result is a food allergy epidemic. I don't how much more evidence is needed for people to start acting on the problem. Even if CDC/FDA/vaccine makers think more evidence is needed, they have done nothing for decades to study the issue. While continuing to add more vaccines to the schedule. So the cost/benefit analysis is about admitting the problem and developing vaccines without food protein contamination vs. the status quo of giving millions more kids life-threatening food allergies using current contaminated vaccines. Thanks.

iNow, If you have even a shred of evidence showing vaccines DO NOT cause food allergies, please present it. I am not claiming anything more than the CDC's own references. The CDC's Dr. Lara Akinbami who authored a survey of food allergies says she does not know what's causing the skyrocketing food allergy epidemic. CDC's own references show vaccines cause food allergies. They need to make up their mind. They can't have it both ways. Our generation survived childhood in the third world with a handful of vaccines and food allergies were unheard of. My kids get 20-30 vaccines. 5 shots in one sitting. Developed food allergies at 2. Spent a night in the ICU following anaphylaxis to the MMR vaccine. One bite of a veggie burger without mayo meant a visit to the ER. I worry everyday if he is going come back alive from school. Does this sound like normal acceptable life to you? Thanks.

Arete, You are confusing two issues. Everyone knows and it is well documented that vaccines can result in anaphylaxis in people who already have allergies. The CDC has never admitted that vaccines can CAUSE the food allergies. Please show me where they have made this admission. Show me where CDC has documented that a vaccine side effect includes development of food allergies. 15 million Americans have developed food allergies. You are belittling the problem and risk of life-threatening food allergies. Unless you have to carry an Epipen for the rest of your life, you probably don't understand the nature and magnitude of this problem. If as some have implied, food allergies are a well known side effect of vaccines, why does the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program neither list it nor compensate the victims? http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/adverseeffects.pdf

Really? Then why does the CDC lie about it? Why don't they place a warning label on the vaccine insert? The CDC survey suggests that about 1 in 20 U.S. children have food allergies. That’s a 50 percent increase from the late 1990s. For eczema and other skin allergies, it’s 1 in 8 children, an increase of 69 percent. “We don’t really have the answer,” said Dr. Lara Akinbami of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the senior author of the new report released Thursday. So you would be willing have your child die of life-threatening food allergies for the "public good" because vaccine manufacturers are too lazy to make a safer vaccine?

Hi, The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has a document called "Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)". You can find it here: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr6002a1.htm Reference 79 in the document is the following paper: Nakayama T, Aizawa C, Kuno-Sakai H. A clinical analysis of gelatin allergy and determination of its causal relationship to the previous administration of gelatin-containing acellular pertussis vaccine combined with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids. J Allergy Clin Immunol 1999;103:321--5. Link to the paper: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9949325 The paper concludes: "Most anaphylactic reactions and some urticarial reactions to gelatin-containing measles, mumps, and rubella monovalent vaccines are associated with IgE-mediated gelatin allergy. DTaP immunization histories suggest that the gelatin-containing DTaP vaccine may have a causal relationship to the development of this gelatin allergy." Charles Richet, a Nobel Prize winning doctor discovered (over a hundred years ago) that proteins injected into the bloodstream will result in the development of allergy to that protein. Exact same conclusions, a hundred years apart ... In other words, food proteins in vaccines can cause the development of food allergies. Here is the CDC's document showing vaccine ingredients: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-2.pdf Several vaccines still contain gelatin. They also of course contain other food proteins such casein (milk), eggs and yeast. More evidence: https://sites.google.com/site/vaccineinducedfoodallergy/ Why is the CDC knowingly vaccinating our kids with vaccines that can cause life-threatening food allergies? How many children have to die before our vaccines are made safe? Why should we have to choose between vaccine preventable diseases and vaccine induced life threatening food allergies? Thanks.

CharonY, "Richet discovered anaphylaxis but his work never explained (and to date we do not know) why it occurs in certain individuals." While sensitivity may vary among individuals, I believe the mechanism applies to all individuals. I have not heard that Richet had to inject multiple animals to get a reaction. Likewise, in the common lab allergy model, I have not heard that you have to pick and choose among mice for the model to work. I expect any mouse will develop a reaction to intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin. " if the mechanism would work as you described, everyone would be allergic to all foods as the micro lesions in our gums would expose us to food proteins almost all the time." In theory, yes. However, the micro lesion exposure mechanism has been at work in nature for hundreds of millions of years. The result is that organisms sensitive enough to develop food allergies to micro lesion exposure would have been naturally eliminated during evolution. Therefore, one can expect that food allergy in humans due to micro lesion exposure would be rare. Vaccines/injections are a different matter. My kids received 5 vaccine shots in one sitting. That is a load of food proteins with multiple powerful adjuvants entering the blood stream, all at one time. Nothing in nature prepares the human body for such an event. To make matters worse, it has been demonstrated that kid's delivered via C-section are primed to develop IgE per [5]. Richet, Dr. Platts-Mills [3], Untersmayr [4], I think is enough strong evidence to justify a study of vaccine/injection link to food allergies. Until such a study is done, claiming parenteral administration of food proteins along with adjuvants is safe is also mere speculation. Thanks.

iNow, It is not MY evidence. Charles Richet was not awarded the Nobel Prize for "old wive's tales and innuendo". Dr. Thomas Platts-Mills who discovered tick bites cause red meat allergy himself suffers from red meat allergy due to a tick bite. None of your vaccine statistics would change if vaccines were made safer. 15 million Americans have developed food allergies. Every 3 minutes, food allergy sends someone to the ER. (http://www.foodallergy.org/facts-and-stats) What is the cost of hurting 15 milliion Americans? What is the cost of making these vaccines safe? Why are we hurting our kids with unsafe vaccines and injections? Because nobody wants to spend the money to make vaccines safe? Thanks.

Split Infinity, 1. Vaccines are very important. No disagreement there. I am talking about vaccine safety. 2. I am not talking about someone having a reaction to a vaccine. I am talking about people DEVELOPING food allergies because of vaccines/injections due to food proteins being present in the vaccines/injections. 3. Life threatening food allergies should never be the price one has to pay to get immunized. 4. With strong evidence showing parenteral administration of food proteins causes food allergies, why are millions of kids being vaccinated with unsafe vaccines/injections that is causing the food allergy epidemic? Thanks.

CharonY, The first paragraph, reproduced below describes sensitization to an allergen/protein. This in Charles Richet's experiment is the dog getting the sea anemone toxin injection the first time. There is no reaction. "When food proteins are injected in to the blood stream during vaccination, a type I hypersensitivity reaction against an allergen, encountered for the first time, causes a response in a type of immune cell called a TH2 lymphocyte, which belongs to a subset of T cells that produce a cytokine called interleukin-4 (IL-4). These TH2 cells interact with other lymphocytes called B cells, whose role is the production of antibodies. Coupled with signals provided by IL-4, this interaction stimulates the B cell to begin production of a large amount of a particular type of antibody known as IgE that are specific to the food proteins. Secreted IgE circulates in the blood and binds to an IgE-specific receptor (a kind of Fc receptor called FcεRI) on the surface of other kinds of immune cells called mast cells and basophils, which are both involved in the acute inflammatory response. The IgE-coated cells, at this stage are sensitized to the allergen (food proteins).[1] [2]" The second paragraph describes what happens on subsequent exposure to the same allergen/protein. "If the vaccinated person now eats these foods, the food proteins bind to the IgE molecules held on the surface of the mast cells or basophils in the mouth. Cross-linking of the IgE and Fc receptors occurs when more than one IgE-receptor complex interacts with the same food allergenic molecule, and activates the sensitized cell. Activated mast cells and basophils undergo a process called degranulation, during which they release histamine and other inflammatory chemical mediators (cytokines, interleukins, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins) from their granules into the surrounding tissue causing several systemic effects, such as vasodilation, mucous secretion, nerve stimulation and smooth muscle contraction. This results in rhinorrhea, itchiness, dyspnea, and anaphylaxis. Depending on the individual, the allergen, and the mode of introduction, the symptoms can be system-wide (classical anaphylaxis), or localized to particular body systems; asthma is localized to the respiratory system and eczema is localized to the dermis.[2] " Charles Richet discovered this in 1902 and there have been multiple discoveries of the same mechanism at work since. 1. The discovery that tick bites cause sensitization to alpha-gal (by injecting alpha-gal directly into the blood stream). The result is red meat allergy. 2. Untersmayr et al, show that proton pump inhibitors impact protein degradation which results in proteins entering the blood stream. (http://www.immuneweb.com/wenzhai/pdf/010301.pdf) The result is food allergies. 3. As Dr. Matzinger of NIAID points out here, injecting mice with ovalbumin and subsequently challenging them with nasal/oral ovalbumin is a common model used to demonstrate allergy. As to why only a very small sub-set of children actually develop allergies: Viral proteins in vaccines are not 100% effective even with adjuvants and complex vaccine engineering. Egg proteins in vaccines for example, are an impurity. No effort is made to make them produce food allergies with 100% efficacy. So (fortunately) only a sub-set develop the allergy. But unfortunately for those who do develop it, it can be life threatening. While genetics and the hygiene hypotheses may have some related role, Charles Richet demonstrated that neither of those are necessary for this mechanism. Thanks.

Please see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3057034/ Thanks, Vinu

I agree that our contaminated environment and processed food do not help. However, to debunk the food allergy/food protein injection link, please provide supporting evidence. I have more evidence linking food protein injection and food allergy here: https://sites.google.com/site/vaccineinducedfoodallergy/, reproduced below: What causes food allergies? There is growing evidence that food proteins introduced into the blood stream result in the development of food allergies. Charles Richet discovered more than a hundred years ago that food proteins present in vaccines or injections will cause food allergies. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for this work. How are food proteins introduced into the blood stream? Vaccines, injections, tick bites and poor digestion due to acid reducing medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPI). Food (plant and animal) proteins such as egg, milk (casein), yeast, gelatin, red seaweed (agar) are present in various vaccines (CDC's vaccine ingredients list). Vitamin K1 injections contain vegetable oil (legume and nut oils) and/or animal fats. So allergies to peanuts and tree nuts could be traced to such injections. Tick bites result in the injection of a protein called alpha-gal (which is present in red meat) into the blood stream.[3] When acidity in the stomach is reduced by acid reducing medications, food proteins are not broken down. They travel to the intestine intact and get absorbed into the blood stream.[4] In all cases, the food proteins thus introduced into the blood stream can result in developing allergies to those food items. C-section - A contributing factor? "In the gastrointestinal tract of babies born by c-section, there is a pattern of "at risk" microorganisms that may cause them to be more vulnerable to developing the antibody Immunoglobulin E, or IgE, when in contact with allergens" - Christine Cole Johnson, Ph.D., MPH, chair of Henry Ford Department of Health Sciences.[5] Mechanism of food allergy development When food proteins are injected in to the blood stream, a type I hypersensitivity reaction against an allergen, encountered for the first time, causes a response in a type of immune cell called a TH2 lymphocyte, which belongs to a subset of T cells that produce a cytokine called interleukin-4 (IL-4). These TH2 cells interact with other lymphocytes called B cells, whose role is the production of antibodies. Coupled with signals provided by IL-4, this interaction stimulates the B cell to begin production of a large amount of a particular type of antibody known as IgE that are specific to the food proteins. Secreted IgE circulates in the blood and binds to an IgE-specific receptor (a kind of Fc receptor called FcεRI) on the surface of other kinds of immune cells called mast cells and basophils, which are both involved in the acute inflammatory response. The IgE-coated cells, at this stage are sensitized to the allergen (food proteins). [1] [2] Mast cells and basophils are found in large numbers in and around the mouth. These locations are prone to injury and thus need more protection against infection. These mast cells and basophils are now IgE-coated and primed to react to the food proteins. If the vaccinated person now eats these foods, the food proteins bind to the IgE molecules held on the surface of the mast cells or basophils in the mouth. Cross-linking of the IgE and Fc receptors occurs when more than one IgE-receptor complex interacts with the same food allergenic molecule, and activates the sensitized cell. Activated mast cells and basophils undergo a process called degranulation, during which they release histamine and other inflammatory chemical mediators (cytokines, interleukins, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins) from their granules into the surrounding tissue causing several systemic effects, such as vasodilation, mucous secretion, nerve stimulation and smooth muscle contraction. This results in rhinorrhea, itchiness, dyspnea, and anaphylaxis. Depending on the individual, the allergen, and the mode of introduction, the symptoms can be system-wide (classical anaphylaxis), or localized to particular body systems; asthma is localized to the respiratory system and eczema is localized to the dermis.[2] In other words, an allergic reaction occurs to the foods that contain the food proteins which were present in the vaccine. Red seaweed is a food source for shellfish. Vaccines can induce an allergy to red seaweed proteins. Consuming shellfish (or any seafood that is contaminated with red seaweed proteins) will result in an allergic reaction that may be blamed on shellfish but may actually be caused by the red seaweed present in the shellfish. Expert opinion " .... i have often heard people dismiss the widespread experimental model of allergy, in which BALB/c mice are injected IP with ovalbumin in alum (the most common adjuvant in vaccines for humans) and then later challenged orally or nasally with OVA. the dismissal is usually based on a statement that goes something like "but this isn't the way that humans are sensitized to allergens". well......perhaps, at least in some cases, it IS how humans are sensitized to allergens? perhaps not by intraperitoneal injections, but nevertheless by injections? sometimes by needles (containing alum); sometimes by insects; perhaps sometimes by injuries (thorns? nails? cuts?)...." - Dr. Matzinger at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. You can see Dr.Matzinger's full response here. Same mechanism, different disease ? Pancreatic digest (of unknown mammalian origin?) and human diploid lung fibroblasts are also used in the manufacture of vaccines. The same sensitization mechanism could result in auto immune disorders such as diabetes and asthma? In other words, your body becomes allergic to some of its own tissues and begins attacking them. Perfect Storm ? Increasing C-section deliveries. Standard practice of administering Vitamin K1 injections to newborns to prevent Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (VKDB). Vaccine schedule with increasing number of vaccines. Over prescription of acid reducing medications. Result, an epidemic of food allergies in children and adults.

It is easy to find information on the web for tick association to red meat allergy. http://health.usnews.com/health-news/news/articles/2012/11/09/lone-star-tick-bite-might-trigger-red-meat-allergy-study So far I have not come across tomato proteins being used in injections/vaccines. So many growth media are used in the development of vaccines. May be some do include tomato extract? Per this: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/food-allergies/AA00057 The following are the most common food allergies in the US. Milk Eggs Peanuts Tree nuts (such as almonds, cashews, walnuts) Fish (such as bass, cod, flounder) Shellfish (such as crab, lobster, shrimp) Soy Wheat http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2011/09/08/peds.2010-2771.full.pdf While the conclusion the authors have drawn is one possibility, there may be another... Perhaps the child did not have egg allergy before parenteral nutrition. The 14-day delay before symptoms may have been the actual time it took to develop sensitization to the parenteral nutrition proteins. We know that vaccines need a couple of weeks to offer protection. Perhaps the egg based parenteral nutrition resulted in the child developing egg allergy. Thanks.

"In 1913, he (Charles Richet) was awarded the Nobel Prize for his researches on anaphylaxis. He invented this word to designate the sensitivity developed by an organism after it had been given a parenteral injection of a colloid or protein substance or a toxin (1902)." http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1913/richet-bio.html It is a well known fact that vaccines contain egg, casein (milk protein), yeast and soy proteins (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/additives.htm). I have learnt that agar (red seaweed derived) is used in the manufacture of many vaccines and injections. Red algae/seaweed can contaminate any sea food. That can explain allergies to sea foods. I have learnt that Vitamin K1 injections are given to newborns. Vitamin K1 injections contain fatty acids ( vegetable oils that could be from tree nuts, soy, peanuts ...). Tick bites have been shown to be the cause of red meat allergy. The same mechanism could be at work. Ticks get meat cells from animals when they feed on them and then inject those cells into the human victim's blood stream. Just about every food allergy seems to be linked to food proteins parenterally administered by vaccines or injections (or even tick bites). With millions affected by the food allergy epidemic, it seems we are still injecting children with vaccines/injections containing food proteins without thorough research on the matter? On a related note, pancreatic digest (of unknown mammalian origin?) and human diploid lung fibroblasts are also used in the manufacture of vaccines. The same sensitization mechanism could result in auto immune disorders such as diabetes and asthma? The Mechanism of sensitization When food proteins are injected in to the blood stream during vaccination, a type I hypersensitivity reaction against an allergen, encountered for the first time, causes a response in a type of immune cell called a TH2 lymphocyte, which belongs to a subset of T cells that produce a cytokine called interleukin-4 (IL-4).
