Peanut oil in vaccines behind widespread peanut allergy epidemic
More than one million children living in America today suffer from peanut allergy, and a significant percentage of these have such severe symptoms that they must carry around self-injectable epinephrine just in case they accidentally become exposed to the food. According to available records; however, virtually nobody had peanut allergy prior to 1900 despite the fact that people have been eating peanuts for ages, which begs the question, why do so many people have peanut allergy today, and from where did this potentially-deadly allergic condition emerge?
In his book The Doctor Within, Dr. Tim O’Shea argues that vaccines are largely responsible for both the advent and increased prevalence of peanut allergy, noting that many vaccines and even antibiotic drugs contain excipients derived from peanut oil. Since it is a relatively inexpensive oil to produce, refined peanut oil became widely adopted as an excipient of choice in the production of vaccines during the 1960s, and it is still widely used today for this purpose.
But peanut oil’s role in triggering the peanut allergy epidemic we see today cannot go unstated, as its introduction at the turn of the 20th century eventually caused a sudden and very apparent wave of anaphylaxis, which had never before been seen. Anaphylaxis, of course, is the general term used to denote allergic reactions to food, and can include severe and sometimes violent reactive symptoms, including but not limited to convulsions, seizures, and even death.
The more peanut oil was used in vaccine and drug production, it turns out, the more the population began to suffer from serious food allergy symptoms. Utilizing peanut oil as an excipient was great for the drug and vaccine industries, of course, as it works as an effective preservative and adjuvant for vaccines. But for those who ingest or are injected with it, peanut oil-based excipients and adjuvants can be the precipitator of a very serious and permanent peanut allergy.
“Although peanut allergies became fairly common during the 1980s, it wasn’t until the early 1990s when there was a sudden surge of children reacting to peanuts — the true epidemic appeared,” explains Dr. O’Shea in his book, highlighting the fact that the ever-expanding childhood vaccination schedule can be directly correlated with a corresponding rise in peanut allergies. “As vaccines doubled between the 1980s and the 1990s, thousands of kids were not exhibiting peanut sensitivities, with many violent reactions that were sometimes fatal.”
Vaccine manufacturers do not have to disclose all vaccine ingredients to consumers
It is important to note that in 1973, when peanut allergies were still relatively rare, a study was conducted on the effects of peanut excipients in vaccines. Not long after it was published; however, government regulators decided that vaccine manufacturers no longer had to label peanut excipients in vaccines, which means pediatricians, parents, and others who wanted to avoid peanut excipients for safety reasons could no longer effectively do so.
“What is listed today in the Physicians Desk Reference in each vaccine section is not the full formula,” adds Dr. O’Shea. “Suddenly that detailed information was proprietary: the manufacturers must be protected. They only had to describe the formula in general.”
Since that time, peanut allergies have only gotten more prevalent and more severe, and the vast majority of the population has no idea that peanut excipients still used in vaccines are largely responsible. Will this ever change? Only if government regulators and medical authorities suddenly develop consciences will this monumental medical fraud be widely exposed and properly addressed.

Further analysis:
Hypothesis: Vaccinations are the leading cause of peanut allergy. Infant formula, infant vitamins, and antibiotics that contain peanut products directly or indirectly may be secondary causes.
1. Vaccines are given to create an immune response from the body. It only makes sense that the body treats anything in the vaccine as an invader that needs to have an antibody created to combat it. That is why we give vaccines. But if the vaccine has a trace of food in it such as egg or peanut, it only makes sense that the vaccine can cause a food allergy.
2. Peanut oil is used in vaccines in adjuvants or as a vaccine carrier. The ingredients of adjuvants or vaccine carriers are not listed individually on the package insert. So the physician would have no way of knowing that there was peanut oil in the vaccine.
3. Peanut allergy decreases in populations that have decreased percentage of vaccinated children. There are a number of studies that link vaccinations to allergies.
4. Peanut allergy is almost unknown in Israel. The population eats lots of peanuts. Israel produces sesame oil. Israel manufactures is own vaccines. Sesame is a major allergy there. Hypothesis: Sesame oil is used instead of peanut oil in the vaccines used in Israel.
5. Study that is frequently cited saying that Indonesia and Thailand people do not suffer from peanut allergies was erroneous. Many children in the study reacted to peanuts in the skin prick test. The study relied on parents of report food reactions. I found a Thai parent quoted on the Internet saying that her child had a peanut allergy. I also found a physician from Singapore stating that peanut allergy is a major problem there.
6. The “hygiene” theory points out that there is less food allergy in underdeveloped countries. They speculated that the people and environment is less clean so it is the early exposure to bacteria, etc. that protects against allergies. However, children as young as 8 months have been diagnosed with peanut allergy and it is only since 1990 that peanut allergies have become a huge problem. The populations in the underdeveloped countries are also not as compliant with childhood vaccinations which would account for less peanut allergy.
7. The United States and China are major producers of peanut oil and vaccinations. There are many patents for products used in vaccines that contain peanut oil.
8. The secondary causes of peanut allergy are due to young children having a “leaky gut”, immature digestive system. Introducing foods too soon can lead to allergies. Medicines given with traces of peanut protein could lead to an allergy. Also antibiotics kill off good bacteria as well as bad and can lead to an overgrowth of yeast which can cause food allergy type problems. I don’t know if any infant formula in the United States contains peanut oil. One website said it was more of a problem in Europe.
9. Our vaccinated animals are getting food allergies Dogs are allergic to peanuts. Searching the Internet – I found a wild elephant allergic to wheat; the elephant had been immunized. (Wheat germ oil is used as a carrier of vaccines. Wheat protein is used to manufacture vaccines/medicines.)
10. The statistics for allergies is appalling!! The allergy epidemic increased with every new mandate for more childhood immunizations.
11. How pure can we make peanut oil? I assume it is highly refined but it only would take a teeny weeny bit of peanut protein in a vaccine to create a problem. That is, of course, assuming that it is ONLY the peanut protein that causes the allergy. Using my “guessing” math, only 1 shot out of 1680 would need to be contaminated to create a peanut allergy in 1 in 70 people in Great Britain.
12. Vaccine adjuvants/ vaccine carriers contain many other oils/ingredients. These other ingredients could account for allergies to other foods. Fish oil is used. Shellfish can be mixed in with the fish by-products which are used to make fish oil. Wheat germ oil, corn oil, soy oil are used. Milk and eggs are also used in the production of vaccines.
I keep looking but so far, I have been unable to DISPROVE my hypothesis. …
Somewhere around 150 to 200 people die in the U.S. each year because of food allergies. It’s estimated that around 50 percent to 62 percent of those fatal cases of anaphylaxis were caused by peanut allergies.
Economics final question: What amount of benefit makes a product’s continued use justified if you run a corporation and know that you will kill between 10 and 100 people (many of them young children) per year with your product?

Answer; There doesn’t have to be a health benefit, only a perceived one.
The main benefit is profit, like every other business.
Business, (or capitalism), is literally a religion in exactly the same way as any other. There are other ways to run an economy. Business is all about profit and it is simply a belief system that supports the profit of it’s followers, i.e. all of us.
We are all born into a debt based economy and so have a vested interest in believing in the system.
The profit motive is the most spiritually corrupting influence in our lives, hence the saying that money, (or the love of money), is the root of all evil.
It’s a highly efficient means of exchange that’s unfortunately dependent upon an honest, spiritually advanced and mutually respectful society to operate without opportunism and greed.
This is all a matter of our spiritual evolution or awareness of the oneness of us all and the consequences of our actions for each other.
Remember when Ford Motors decided to let Explorer drivers die in preventable accidents rather than spend 15c on each vehicle to modify the cruise control ECU and protect it from voltage spikes that led to the throttle jamming open?
Live viruses enter our bodies along with many other substances. It seams silly to think that a weak virus would transfer its threat to vegetable fats and proteins. Humans wouldn’t last long if the body learned to reject food along with the contaminants.
More likely is higher availability of peanut and higher awareness of immune reactions is revealing people with sensitivities. Humans are still evolving to eat the random stuff they find.
It may seem silly, but it is a fact that our bodies make friend or foe associations which are not logical. If the first time you eat crab it is rotten with decay, for example, the smell or thought of eating even good crab will make you sick from then on. This body memory is a survival mechanism. It works well enough but it lacks discernment, it is a bit stupid… one of many reasons it is obvious that we are not the result of intelligent design. Phobias are another example. So are prejudices. So are superstitions. We generalize. A silly thing to do, but mind and body, we do that. Actually, it isn’t all that silly. Imagine how busy you would be if you had to look at every single tree as a new object! You don’t have the brain power to look at a forest and see each tree as itself. Your perceptual system instantly gives every tree a few general labels and then ignores the individual tree. This blindness is part of being human. Mentally, meditation, the type where we are fully present and aware in the moment, is a way we can improve this limitation. Our attention (brain processing power) is limited. Prove it yourself: try to be fully aware of everything you are feeling (body sensation and emotionally) hearing, seeing and smelling at the same instant. Is it silly that you can’t?
It makes sense as well as your hypothesis. I’ve read about the peanut oil – vaccine connection before but not the similar situation in Israel where they use sesame oil. It seems we’re doing it to ourselves, the handwriting is on the wall but we’re unwilling to make the connection and change the direction of how vaccines are administered. Even a European Allergy group published results about allergans and yet made no mention of vaccines as a possible culprit. They can’t see the forest for the trees or they choose not to in order to continue ‘practicing’ medicine.
