My trio had 4 boys with peanut allergies in their class at school this year. I have not read this book but thought it looked interesting.

Have you started reading it? I'm curious after reading the reviews. So, peanut oil is in some vaccines????

I have my own ideas about peanut allergies and why they are on the rise (my son has the allergy, but we also have a very strong history of all types of allergy including food allergies on both sides). Wondering if it is worth the read.

I have not read it. I do plan to but I just pre-ordered this book:

My kiddos do not have peanut allergies so it has not been as much of a priority for me. Please post if you read it and let us know what you think.

I do not know about the vaccine ingredients-sorry!

I looked into some of the things the author was saying and I guess it has been verified that they do use peanut oil in some vaccines (I don't know which ones yet...but it is making me angry since some kids do react to "purified" peanut oil and my son breaks out in eczema really bad from some vaccines. Of course, it could be from any number of the ingredients...but it has me wondering. Especially since his known food allergies are peanut and raw egg - which are the two foods that are apparently used in vaccines.) It is interesting and I'll have to learn more about it. If I read the book, I'll let you know what I think for sure!
