Peanut allergy desensitization
A group of children with peanut allergies have had their condition effectively cured, doctors believe.A very small sample, but the results seem very promising indeed. From the BBC. Related post from November here.A team from Cambridge's Addenbrooke's Hospital exposed four children to peanuts over a six-month period, gradually building up their tolerance.
By the end the children were eating the equivalent of five peanuts a day.

If you don't create a peanut allergy, you wouldn'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. The pharmaceutical industry is exempt from labeling medicines that may contain trace amounts of peanuts or nuts.
