MacPhail conducted a poll, paid for by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities Public Scholars Award. “There’s a long history of equating allergies with neuroticism, women, city dwellers and the highly educated”, but she found modern opinions are vastly different. These are minority viewpoints now, since 56% of 1,000 representative Americans responding had allergies.
She didn’t ask what they thought was causing this epidemic of immune system hijacking by foreign proteins. A supermajority know someone with allergies and don’t think they exaggerate symptoms (unlike vaxx injuries). Most are willing to make accommodations, if grudgingly. Their service dog will always take precedence over your canine dander reactions. Even in the same work place.
Still, it’s not the most empathetic disease, even the highest ratings of sympathy for people with severe eczema, followed by asthma, then hay fever were far down in the charts from those with heart disease, chronic pain, and skin cancer. A lost puppy gains more caring emoji’s than your pollen puffed face.
“Prophylaxis or preventing allergies should always be step one in any treatment plan” has been the motto of allergists since the 1930’s, but their advice on “no early feeding” of common allergenic foods (eggs, milk, wheat, corn, later peanuts) to infants “would eventually prove to be especially disastrous”, allergy expert Dr. Arthur Coca told MacPhail. “There is no treatment for food allergy. I have nothing to offer you other than that asthma patients have 90% probability of also having hay fever.” Sounds systemic.
Nevertheless, real prevention by eliminating injections containing these common allergens in childhood vaccines has never been a priority. After antihistamines, with adrenalin injections for anaphylactic shock, physicians only other offering is immunotherapy. “We don’t know exactly why it works”, but involves gradually increasing minute dosages, supervised in clinics in case of deadly shock, sometimes over years, administered in subcutaneous and sublingual formulas. Needles and gummies.
Parents of children with severe food allergies, typically peanuts, milk, eggs, wheat, and/or soy, share horror stories of social and economic stressors that trail behind diagnosis, grocery bill quadrupled overnight, loss of income, child care denied, blamed for loss of cupcakes, relearning how to prepare meals, worrying about lapses. The federal poverty program for Women, Infant and Children offers only allergenic foods, unless a doctor prescribes non-allergenic infant formula.
When Emily Brown began the first food pantry in the nation for those with food allergies in Kansas City, MO, she could only serve 150 of the estimated 8-15,000 people needing help in her area. So it’s not just a wealthy, white suburban phenomenon, although those are well represented along with inner cities and rural farm workers.
Researchers have been trying to tease out if there is a correlation with age of introduction of peanuts into the solid food diet of an infant and nut allergies for decades. Brown’s baby swelled up on her first taste of peanuts at one year, following medical advice at the time. MacPhail’s obstetrician and gynecologist friend had only had an hour of class time on allergies in medical school, so she had no opinions.
More recently, the NIH decoded a genetic risk for peanut allergy if those children are fed it later as toddlers. They concluded, “the same gene is both protective and not protective, it all depends on the timing of the exposure. The gene environment interaction is key, not the gene itself.” Not very helpful to a fearful parent.
They call it MALT, presumably what they were drinking to do a controlled study on a genomic trait. They’ve never funded a comparison of peanut allergies among vaccinated vs unvaccinated , which would have been their first exposure to peanuts as fractionated oil in inoculations.
Meanwhile, profits pile up around peanut allergies. The only FDA approved oral immunotherapy prescription for this, reportedly allows patient to nibble a few goobers without a severe immune response, far better than factory dust triggering anaphylactic shock. It’s not a cureall, effectiveness wanes over time.
Palforzia was patented by Aimune Therapeutics in 2020, an oral dose derived from defatted peanut flour, taken daily for six months of supervised treatments, in three phases, increasing hundred fold over that time. Most subjects experienced symptoms, with 4% suffering anaphylactic shock, but 75% were able to complete treatment to a 3 year maintenance dose. Bought by Nestle Health Science, an early investor for $2.6 billion, Nestle Foods, the mother corporation earned $77 billion that year from its prescription monopoly.
Dr. Alkis Togias, Chief doctor in the Allergy, Asthma, and Airway Biology Branch of the Asthma and Airway Biology Section of the National Institute of Allergic and Infectious Disease, can’t see the forest for the trees. She informed MacPhail there is “no question that environmental exposures and lifestyle changes are related to what we see happening. " Like watching a train wreck, she has no clue how to stop this erosion of health, unable or unwilling to determine what to blame.
Eczema expert Peter Lio wants people to “stop looking for a root cause”, but his patients don’t want to hear the complicated truth, that he don’t know jack.
Pamela Guerrerio believes it is “ultimately wrong for researchers to even look for a single cause, [promoting an] inaccurate message, [that they can] solve all of this. Allergy is not a simple problem. We need to understand that it is a problem of genetic susceptibility, on top of environment exposures, just so many different ones [that] decades can roll by without a single straightforward solution. ”
Dr. Scott Sicherer, director of Jaffe Food Allergy Institute, confirmed their official blindness.”You’d need a supercomputer to try to tease out what different influences are happening in the genetic and environmental pathways. It’s complicated.”
Dr. Neera Khurana Hershey of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital told her, “There no one thing”, or they would’ve found it, figured it out, so it must be a “combination of things. What are we doing as a society, what am I doing as an individual?” Not what the medical/industrial complex has been doing to us.
“We don’t have a single smoking gun”, MacPhail infers from her experts panel, unwilling to examine the barrage of toxic syringes and their consequences for the “genetically susceptible”, which turns out to be most. Like Pollyanna the Parrot she squawks official propaganda. “The best thing you can do to keep ourselves and our children healthy is to follow the best available medical advise as immunologist learn more.” She chastises those who challenge “legitimate evidence-based medical advice” using “dubious online YouTube videos. Give yourselves a much needed break from misinformation”, unfortunately not from your symptoms.
There are none so blind as those who profit from the vaccine industry conducting vast, uncontrolled experiments on the global population, held hostage with propaganda based on denial of damages.
Down here on the Big Farm-a, you gotta crack some eggs to scramble the rubes.
