So very timely! Thank you!

For starters, have never had a flu shot (allergic to eggs). Having the payload on a modified mRNA platform does not sweeten my receptivity. At the moment am 3 weeks into a respiratory illness. No fever. No human contacts in the 3 weeks preceeding. Assuming I will ultimately recover my natural immunity should be pretty decent.

Makary recently published a book and had an ETV TL interview on iatrogenic disease. The one my mind fixated on was how Doctors caused the peanut allergies. The point being that at least one of the HHS appointees is open to the possibility that long term prescriptions may need rethinking.

As a senior, I personally find recommendations targeting the elderly offensive. Recognizing my bent, I try to go back and think it through.

That said, I hope MAHA and its medical teams can further an open environment that will allow appropriate reviews and fact based consideration of protocols and treatments as needed. The time, if ever, is now!

Interesting. I cannot tolerate peanuts after a lifetime of consuming them but chalk it up to glyphosate practices in modern farming. Perhaps the problem is the glyphosate and not the peanuts themselves.

Jill tries to buy organic peanut butter and it is almost impossible to find

Almond Butter is a great sub for peanut butter.

Vitacost.com stocks a variety of organic peanut butter options.

I always read the labels and just because it says organic, doesn't mean the final product sold to us actually is. Might start with organic peanuts and then they add all the BS.

I think if you can find organic peanuts you could make your own peanut butter. Some stores have grinders to make peanut butter.

Do you have a Sprouts Market or Whole Foods near you? I've also purchased organic PB at my Costco. I'm closer to West Coast so maybe those entities are more localized over here.

A close friend who loved and ate strawberries all her life suddenly (in her 60s when it happened) had a sudden severe allergic reaction to them. It always seems odd, but I wonder what might be on the strawberries.

Was this reaction shortly after being vaccinated? The adjuvants used to strengthen the immune reaction to the antigen in the vaccine is nonspecific and can cause autoimmune or allergic reactions to other things.

I don't really know. This was about 18 years ago, but I can't know if she'd had any sort of vaccine.

If I recall it right, some Dr (pedi?) decided Mother's should hold off peanuts for their infants for an extended period (during which they would have been developing needed tolerance). By the time peanuts were allowed many kids had become intolerant.

Have a suggestion regarding your respiratory illness. Google Dr. Jockers Nebulizing food grade hydrogen peroxide.

Thanks! The problem is getting long in the tooth.
