More than 3 million Americans now have some kind of nut allergy, with cases of peanut allergy in children more than tripling between 1997 and 2008, according to a report released this week.
"These results show that there is an alarming increase in peanut allergies, consistent with a general, although less dramatic, rise in food allergies among children in studies reported by the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]," said lead researcher Dr. Scott Sicherer, professor of pediatrics at the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. "The data underscore the need for more study of these dangerous allergies."
Why allergies are on the rise
No one is certain what's behind the spike in food allergies.
In general, those with food allergies have extra-sensitive immune systems that react to harmless substances called allergens found in certain foods and drinks.
Most Irish deaths and significant morbidity resulted from chronic diseases like COPD, asthma, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and mental health, Dr White pointed out. In the US, a recent study found that up to 50 per cent of people were not receiving the right treatment for a chronic condition.
Let me put it this way, my nose bleeds were controlling my life," says Merwin Case
He used to spend a lot of time hunched over a sink, waiting for his nose bleeds to stop,
The study performed by doctors in Scotland detected a significant increase in symptoms of allergic asthma and levels of antibodies to environmental allergic factors, such as dust mites, pets, and air pollutants over the three decades. Importantly, the researchers noted that there was an increase in the signs and symptoms of allergy, even in people without a family history of allergy!
The authors conclude that the factors within the environment seem to be contributing to an increased rate of asthma, regardless of a family history of allergy.

Maybe it was us that polluted the air, polluted the waters and maybe it was us who first introduced the monetary system. Maybe there is no other entity to blame.
If it indeed was us, the human race, who introduced all of the above, maybe a fresh start is not such a bad idea.
Maybe we should take the responsibility for the current state of the world, instead of blaming some unknown power/group/entity.
Maybe it was an it is human nature to destroy.

We've put catalytic converter on cars, scrubbers on smokestacks on coal plants, but haven't done a thing in the airline industry.
It's not us polluting the atmosphere, it's them. The US Air Force, NOAA, NASA, NATO and the UN.
But you can protect them to the end of time, if you wish. It's your soul.

i think i may have some info on this.
i developed an allergy to eggs.
then to shellfish.
then to nuts.
soon it was anything in a shell.
turns out i'm allergic to iodine, which is the ingredient all those things have in common. if it's in a shell, it contains iodine, apparently.
so i'm gonna blame it on iodized salt, for now. might be something else, but there's iodized salt on just about everything we eat. i couldn't think what else it could be.

Prior to the attack, which is coordinated with forecasted weather conditions, the UAVs begin cloud generation and seeding operations. UAVs disperse a cirrus shield to deny enemy visual and infrared (IR) surveillance.
Simultaneously, microwave heaters create localized scintillation to disrupt active sensing via synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems such as the commercially available Canadian search and rescue satellite-aided tracking (SARSAT) that will be widely available in 2025. Other cloud seeding operations cause a developing thunderstorm to intensify over the target, severely limiting the enemy’s capability to
defend. The WFSE monitors the entire operation in real-time and notes the successful completion of another very important but routine weather-modification mission

The truth....lets put the truth out there. You are trying to tie in something that isn't true with poisoning peanuts! As I have no doubts that some foods are being ruined and causing health problems because of our artificial this and that, chemtrails ARE NOT THE REASON! Chemtrails are not true...people think there are actually people at airports filling up secret tanks/bladders with this chemical concoction to rain down over the populace to make us unhealhty, take over our minds, kill us, etc....yet NO ONE who supports this "chemtrail" BS ever wants to talk about why the powers behind such a thing would commit suicide???? Considering they drink the same water, breath the same air, and eat the same food...they too would be victims of their own plan.
Bottom line is...YES...the burning off of jet fuel, the dumping of the crapper tank, and standard polution from other MECHANICAL chemicals isn't good for us....but chemtrails, in the aspect people around here think they are, are not real.
A deadly, airborne new strain of fungus has emerged in Oregon. It has killed nearly one out of four known affected people so far and might also attack animals ranging from dogs to dolphins. And

P.S. I am not judging you, I am telling you why I think your wrong and giving my OPINION as to why the chemtrail argument from ANYONE is silly.....once someone can explain why TPTB would kill themselves with "chemtrails" then i will be open to such things being true.

TPTB drive around in climate controlled cars, climate controlled homes, climate controlled building.
TPTB are massing huge amounts of food, water and essential items to survive underground until the Chemtrail pollution subsides, once their agenda is achieved, or so they think.
Doses of Atropine are being handed out, because the chemical concoction is about to change to Organophosphates, or VX nerve gas.
