More and more kids are allergic to stuff now.

Over sterilization of our environment.

Or maybe it's easier to keep allergic people alive longer these days so they can reproduce!?

Both. Sterilization is a huge part too.......we don't allow kids to be exposed to ANYTHING anymore even good bacteria, so when they are encountered with it, they aren't equipped to handle it like they should be, because the body isn't used to any of it. Can't get immune to things that are foreign.

People have always cherished their children, its all to do with the chemical concoctions added to food, the preservatives alone make alot of what used to be nutritional organic material, unabsorbable. This is why, the body no longer recognises them as food. The vaccines ruin immune systems before they are even built. Chemicals that cross the placenta have been created that start to undermine us even before we are born. I think this has been done deliberately. It ruins minds and bodies, creating useless unthinking consumers at best. At worst it creates someone like me who can barely go out, eat, function.
A tragedy for us, win win for the creators of this horrid situation

This is the main problem methinks.

It creates a lot more problems than it solves.

When I was at school in the 80s, no one was allergic to anything that I can remember.

We all ate everything and played in mud, etc.

TBH the doc said it was a very quick fungle infection, but she won't try another just incase, I agree that she shouldn't if shes nervous about it. It was a scare for the both of us.

I'm going to go with genetics. Call me crazy!

Vaccines stupid! How can people not put two and two together?

I will do no such thing.

Why are kids more allergic now than ever?

3 little letters.

G-M-O (s)

Genetically modified organisms in our food enters the body, and produces altered bacteria in our stomachs. Over time, studies have shown that the lining of our intestines become compromised, where little bits of food, when we digest them, actually LEAK OUT of our intestinal linings in small amounts.Our immune system delivers a response to these free radical invaders going where they're not supposed to and an allergic reaction is created...

"The huge jump in childhood food allergies in the US is in the news often[1], but most reports fail to consider a link to a recent radical change in America’s diet. Beginning in 1996, bacteria, virus and other genes have been artificially inserted to the DNA of soy, corn, cottonseed and canola plants. These unlabeled genetically modified (GM) foods carry a risk of triggering life-threatening allergic reactions, and evidence collected over the past decade now suggests that they are contributing to higher allergy rates."

Well, maybe. But my kid is allergic to peanuts...right out of the ground.

Lot of peanuts are GMO as well here......bear that in mind. I would tend to guess from the above as well that GMOs could possibly create allergic reactions to something even in its' natural organic state, but I could be wrong.

Yesterday I ate a tiny hand full of bombay mix, no wheat, just lentils peas and peanuts with some spices. Am not allergic to peanuts. In under a second my mouth was tingling and my soft palette was swelling, spat, swallowed an anti histamine and today its still sore. I am developing more allergies than I can keep up with and have to carry two epipens at all times. There are millions of us now and climbing. I wasn't mollycoddled or kept hyperclean as a child and as an adult even less so. Yet my children and I are very allergic. This points me to additives pesticides and vaccines. TPTB put lots of reasons out there to confuse and muddy the waters. Its no doubt the above but while there is doubt it will continue to go on, food will be laced and adulterated for profit

We watch our grand child and have not allowed her to have any shots.

She is healthy and rarely get sick.

She eats almost anything put in front of her.

She does not have the allergic symptoms her dad (who got his shots when young and still gets sick when the climate changes) has.

It's all those shots they make everyone believe they have to have...end of story. Big medicine has their hands in everyone's pockets and makes you believe those shots are a must...not.

Fluoride, vaccines, GMO's, BP-A, heavy metals, etc. - proves that if for nothing else, the human liver is pretty resilient. Immune systems have undoubtedly been compromised.

Or......are our bodies changing?

If you are over 50 or grew up in a nation where there was little to no processed food, then I believe you had a better chance of healthier early development as it was more likely that your mother ate cleaner foods and so did the individual as they were growing.

Today there are so many chemicals, dyes, processing, packaging, hormones, antibiotics and gmo's, ad nauseum - well I can personally see why the children's immune systems are having such a difficult time coping.

Sad...

It is possible to be mildly allergic to many things. However there is a tipping point after exposure to maybe just one more chemical,etc..A toxic overload and then the severe reactions start..

It took me about 40 yrs to develop Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. Workplace exposure as a Printing Press Operator in the 80's was probably the worst.

Today, I get neurological M.S. like symptoms, from Fabric Softener and every other common chemical based household and personal care products.
[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] toxins settled in my brain and wrecked havoc on my brain barrier..

Pharmaceutical products, medications,etc..10 yrs of tests and treatments for a Panic disorder(full body panic when exposed to chemicals while in public places) and for the MS like symptoms before I figured it out..

Folks pay a lot of money for these products, not me..why would I pay to be poisoned..I'd rather have a life chemical free.

There is no ONE answer because it is multifactorial.

GMOs, genetics, vaccines, chemical preservatives, pesticides, etc. are all factors. So is BOTTLEFEEDING. Infants who don't receive the COLOSTRUM in their mother's milk are much more likely to have FOOD ALLERGIES.

So are LAZY MOTHERS who give very young children PEANUT BUTTER because they are too lazy to prepare anything. Peanut is a common allergen and shouldn't be given until later on. THAT is why there are so many peanut allergies nowadays.

That and pregnant women who eat peanuts when clearly instructed not to.
