Guest guest Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I just read an outstanding article in a newsletter.I'll excerpt it here, from the book The History of the Peanut Allergy Epidemic by Fraser<http://www.amazon.com/History-Peanut-Allergy-Epidemic/dp/1449916651>Consumers more afraid of disease than the side effects of treatment embraced the tradition of vaccination. For vaccine makers, however, unwanted side effects were balanced with the cost of production. They no longer used horse blood or mouse brain – the former was implicated in serum sickness and the latter was known to create encephalitis. However, an irreplaceable ingredient was vegetable oil. While cost effective and potent, oils could also be dangerous -- they easily over stimulated the immune system.Lulled perhaps by medical advance, officials were surprised by the second mass allergic phenomenon that began in the 1930s. This was the first outbreak of food anaphylaxis in history and it was caused by just one food: cottonseed oil. Refined cottonseed oil was a primary excipient in the injected “wonder drug†antibiotics and in vaccines. Well-documented issues had weakened the US seed crusher industry which with dropping standards was producing contaminated oils. Protein laden [poorly refined] cottonseed oil was found to have been distributed to pharmaceutical and food manufacturers. The outbreak might have been investigated more thoroughly if it hadn’t ended so soon. Prevalence of the allergy peaked in the late 1940s, gradually declined and then fell from the medical journals, history and memory. This decline may be attributed to a change in vaccine ingredients. After WWII, oil from cottonseed was replaced [entirely]. This replacement oil was inexpensive, tariff protected, US grown and controlled tightly by a more reliable industry infrastructure; it came from peanuts. "[history of vaccine production and usage of adjuvants]..."Two further changes to childhood vaccines were the introduction of the influenza Hib B in 1988 that was eventually rolled into an unprecedented 5 vaccines in one needle, the PENTA. Neither parents nor family doctors questioned these changes authorized by a WHO expert committee and recommended to governments in western countries. In the documented rush to pull this formula together, it seemed to escape notice that the ******molecular weights of proteins in the Hib B were almost identical to those in peanut. Peanut allergy tipped quietly into epidemic between 1987 and 1994***** ER records in westernized countries revealed the tip of the iceberg in the early 1990s – 90% of all admissions for allergy were for peanut.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yes it is outstanding - I don't have the book - looks like they are coming out with 2nd edition and new cover and new publisher, in May Will try to remember to keep all posted. Thanks for posting it! ******molecular weights of proteins in the Hib B were almost identical to those in peanut. Peanut allergy tipped quietly into epidemic between 1987 and 1994***** AMAZING I had asked her for a review copy when it first came out (can't afford to buy everyone's books ;-( ) But she wasn't willing. Anyone else have this book? Sheri I just read an outstanding article in a newsletter.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I have Fraser's first edition of the History of the Peanut Allergy Epidemic (before it was picked up by a new publisher). It's very good. I recommend it. Am interested to see what she added/changed in the new edition--I preordered it.From: Sheri Nakken <vaccinedangers@...>Vaccinations Sent: Wed, January 26, 2011 2:19:18 PMSubject: Re: OT: Peanut Allergy Epidemic- MAN MADE?
