This is not new, the “cleanliness theory”.

Read a article a while ago where it was suggested that the more affluent societies, who can afford to be cleaner, in the end starts having more ailments that do not seem to be present in the poorer societies.

Years ago read another article where they found that common allergies where skyrocketing in kids in I think New York, if memory serves. The kids where growing up with no regular contact with soil, living in concrete jungles. Their immune systems where underdeveloped.

Very recently saw an article that pointed out why natural birth gives that baby as an adult, a stronger immunity system than a clean cesarean section. As gross as this is, it is natural, in that fecal matter and other bacteria enters the baby’s eyes, nose, mouth, which in turn triggers the immune system.

Also an article about the cleaner your skin is kept, the worse off the good bacteria in your gut gets. Somehow the two are linked.

Even some cancers are being linked to being too clean. Being clean is good, being too clean is not good at all.

And then you have the entire food chain messed up with antibiotics and pesticides, appearing in foods all over.

It is definitely not a clean people issue.

I have a friend with two children that have peanut issues. These kids never stop coming into contact with others, they live in the ditch during the summer, have pets (often from the ditch), the gambit but they still have allergies.

I grew up catching crawfish and tadpoles, swinging on wisteria vines in the woods among many other things and I’m allergic to nightshades, all of them. I was not a clean child by any means. Heck most of the times now when I go outside to do things I forget my gloves and have to take a lot of extra time cleaning under my nails, fingers and toes since I sometimes forget my shoes too 🙂

I think a lot of today’s food allergies come from the fact that the food we are being given is crap. Half of it isn’t even food anymore, it looks like food, smells like food but it’s some science peti-dish mockup made from the idea of food.

Now, I only take a shower about every 2 or 3 days, unless I am really working hard and very sweaty.
I work in and around with livestock almost daily.
I find I dont get as sick as I used too. When I do, it can be a dozy. But seems like only once a year.

As to the peanut allergies, I think it is a mix of some kids are just not getting exposed to natural flora and fauna early to develop a natural immunity, and the modern American diet is composed of crap.

A few years ago, there was a YouTube vid that went viral. Some guy was mad the toy in his 3yr old’s kiddie meal, a Minion, when the button was pressed, it made a sound like a bad word.
I was like, “Why are you feeding a 3yr old that crap?”

Other theories about the peanut allergy include the inclusion of peanut oil in some vaccines.

Regarding food allergies, I never had any my whole life. 3 years ago I developed almost life-threatening allergies to broccoli. (Who the heck is allergic to BROCCOLI?) I’m also allergic to two other things in the same family, kale, and mustard. It’s horrible. I get hives inside my mouth and throat with minute exposure. If someone stirs another food with the same spoon used to stir the broccoli, I have a reaction from that other food.

It seems so odd to me that I could eat this stuff on a weekly basis for 45 years and then suddenly it just about kills me. It doesn’t matter if the veggies are organic or conventional, either.

Human bodies are really starting to rebel against the food supply in this country.

Daisy I totally agree with our bodies are rebelling. It is a mindfield in our house. My husband drives 18-wheelers and there is nothing worse than eating something you have eaten for ages only to find your eyes going nuts minutes after you took a swallow of your lunch. Last thing you want or need when you are going at 65mph with a few tons on your back if your eyes to go crazy!! So far my husband has stopped eating foods with vanilla (figuring it’s mixed with fake), garlic and now he’s reacting to butter (Land o Lakes) and cinnamon.

I am supposed to carry an epi pen with me for my reaction to artificial vanilla and aspartame.
