Perhaps a Freeper physician can explain to me how there were NO kids with a “peanut allergy” when I went to public school, but now, almost 1 kid in 2 has a fatal peanut allergy. My bullshit detector went off on this story, same as the “1 in every 20 kids is autistic and the rest are ADHD” story.
This is one of those therapies where you say to the doctor, “You first”.

This sounds like what Dr. Rapp has been doing for decades using incredibly miniscule amounts of the allergen.
FWIW, I heard a story about a friend’s grandmother who had grown up and lived all her life on a farm. In the spring they would find a piece of poison ivy and pull off a piece about the size of a pinhead. They would rub it on the skin or put it in their mouth.
Supposedly it helped keep them from having poison ivy reaction during the summer.
I can’t imagine doing something like that. Maybe it works but it seems pretty risky for anyone who is allergic to it.
Also, not telling hypochondriacs what they’re eating has been found to be miraculously effective.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
