		<description>If you don&#039;t create the allergy in the first place, you wouldn&#039;t have to cure it. It has been known since 1839 that injections can cause food allergies.

Children received:
1960 – 1-2 vaccines
1980 - 8-9 vaccines
1990 - 10 vaccines
2000 - 33 vaccinations
2007 - 48 doses of 14 vaccines by age 6

Vaccines contain an adjuvant that increases the body’s immune response to the protein in the vaccine. Something that the public and most physicians don’t realize is that the adjuvant can contain a trace of food protein. This is a protected trade secret and does not have to appear on the package insert. Soy, sesame, peanut, wheat germ, corn, shellfish, and fish oils are listed as ingredients in the patents.</description>

		<description>I was going to respond to Rob and alley until I got to Brian&#039;s comments.  Well spoken.  And apparently Rob doesn&#039;t understand the article or just can&#039;t read.</description>

		<description>@ Rob... your first paragraph is correct.  Napoleon did it with arsenic.

I doubt .02% of an ounce will kill you, or that you would even register symptoms, no matter how sensitive you are.  Of course, you&#039;d have to speak with a knowledgeable medical professional to be absolutely certain, but if your body reacts that strongly to an infinitesimal amount of a substance of which infinitesimal amounts are everywhere, you&#039;ve likely died many times already.

@ alley... building up resistance to something is not permanent in the sense that if one stops exposure to something, one&#039;s resistance will gradually decrease.  i.e., if you lift weights until you can bench press 300 lbs, then stop, your ability to lift weights will gradually decrease until you begin building it up again.

		<description>I am really hoping for a cure for peanut allergy as my child has the severe allergy.  This kind of &quot;cure&quot; leaves me feeling a little nervous. For one, it says it is not  a permanent cure. Secondly, after some time, will the allergy recur and actually come back more severe. The study should watch these children for many many years to see if the &quot;cure&quot; remains and if there are problems later.</description>

		<description>Using the same logic chain as these &quot;so-called&quot; researchers, you could get used to breathing sarin gas.  Just breathe a little bit every day until you&#039;ve built up a tolerance.

I have a peanut allergy.  This &quot;therapy&quot; would kill me.  I guess that would be ok...I wouldn&#039;t have the allergy anymore.</description>

		<description>@ Mat: I removed the ad, which was for an alleged allergy cure.

I don&#039;t want to establish a precedent here whereby we will remove any comment that contains any marketing message—such comments could potentially have useful info that might interest other visitors. But ads like the one that had been left here—which are obviously triggered purely by keyword and don&#039;t try to add any perspective—will be summarily liquidated.</description>
