Doctors Changed Their Minds About Peanuts—Here’s Why It Matters for Your Baby

At the age of two, my daughter was hospitalized. They did a battery of allergy tests. They reported she had more than 20 different allergies to various foods, and suggested I eliminate at least 15 of them from our home. After a week of trying to follow their food preparation and diet, I said this was nonsense. I started introducing all the foods they said she was allergic to. By the time she started school, there was nothing she didn’t eat. Today she is 60 years old, healthy, and has no allergies. Sometimes, I wonder if parents have lost their common sense letting “germaphobia” and “protection from foods” cloud normal judgement for living in today’s society.

All caused by the tick-bite (with a syringe --- no different) given in childhood containing modified peanut protein with various toxins.

It makes no sense. If you had to be exposed at a young age most europeans would be allergic. There are a tremendous number of people that dont regularly eat peanuts in their home countries that are not allergic.

For years, parents were told to avoid peanuts early in life. In this video, I walk through what changed—and what the science now shows. If you’re here as a parent or caregiver, the first half of this talk is for you. If you’re a clinician or student, the immune mechanism deep dive is in the second half.

Many allergies in children are caused by the peanut oil and egg protein additives found in childhood vaccines.

My firstborn developed fatal anaphylaxis to ALL nuts and a wide range of other foods - as a two year old - after being stung by a "Jack jumper" ant. She would happily rest nuts without any reaction before the sting. She was never vaccinated (until her choice as a 16 year old) She is now an adult and still has those anaphylactic allergies. I am 47. I've never had an allergic issue in my life. Not eczema, not hives, nothing. All of a sudden I am developing anaphylaxis to nuts and seeds and other words things like herbs - all things I've been taking for my entire life without any issue! The allergy/immunology department at the State's largest specialist hospital cannot explain it and told me my next anaphylaxis would likely NOT be survivable. I was on continuous intravenous adrenaline for 17 hours! Nothing would stop the reaction, so I just had to wait it out in ICU! And even after the anaphylaxis itself was over, I had to stay for observation because my heart wasn't happy after all the adrenaline! I suspect an auto immune style disorder brought on after COVID (I never had any COVID vaccines but have had the virus a few times)

My son has a peanut allergy and a chickpea allergy (which is a legume as well). He would randomly break out in hives as an infant while he was still only consuming breast milk. I could never figure it out. I was following the research at the time for allergies since my husband has many food allergies. So around 7 or 8 months old he was exposed to a tiny amount of hummus (chickpeas) and his lips swelled. Soon after he was exposed to peanut butter (he mostly just smeared it on his face) and his lips and skin reacted. Then he had more hummus and the swelling was worse. No more peanuts or chickpeas for him, but he would still occasionally break out in hives all over. I finally figured out that it was through the breast milk. I did a few confirmation tests where I’d eat a small amount of peanuts (or chickpeas) and sure enough he’d break out in hives later. Also, once or twice as a toddler he ate foods cooked in peanut oil and he broke out in hives. I did eat peanuts while I was pregnant. He had the peanut allergy as a very young infant, before he ever ate solid foods. If it matters, he was not a hospital birth and he wasn’t vaccinated with anything until 2 years old. He’s a very healthy teen now, almost never gets sick and he hasn’t developed any more allergies or asthma thank goodness.

We knew this 100 years ago, we forgot it, and 10 years ago (2015) we remembered it. There should be almost 0 peanut allergies in the US for anyone under 10.

My child was completely breastfed for one year, and I ate peanuts, eggs, and chicken liberally through pregnancy and breastfeeding. Zero vaccines for us both... and I mean ZERO. At 15 months he was diagnosed with allergies to all three, plus fireants (an ant bite was the catalyst for having him tested). I think an ant bite was the genesis of his allergies. We did immunotherapy for his fire ant allergy (we live in Texas; this is a necessity). All the other allergies remain. 😢

In Israel there is a toddler/baby chewing or gumming food/treat which contains a tiny amount of peanut just enough for flavor.... this is the peanuts that most Israeli children are exposed to early on... it is sold almost everywhere in that country from what I saw on my two trips in the late 1990's and my fellow church members saw from the 1980's until today on their many touring and mission trips to lands mentioned in the Bible.
