I opine: Leaky Gut Syndrome, making any likely allergenic substances more likely to enter blood stream and wreak havoc. As to cause of LGS: excessive chronic exposure to lectins and other villi-damaging substances.

And lack of breastfeeding, which, BTW, is a means by which babies are introduced to foreign proteins.

But also there's the factor of the colostrum doing something called (IIRC) gut closure. The colostrum seals the lining of the gut to protect it or make it impermeable, to proteins.

My dad worked with asbestos on many jobs as a welder.
He died of mesothelioma 7 years ago. It was a horrible way to die.

Did your mom go through your Halloween treats and throw out all the candy?

“OK. I’ll bite.

Hos does that prevent autism?”

What’s the #1 early symptom of autism?
Jands down: The child hasn’t laughed.
So...
Make. The. Baby. Laugh! Immediately!!!

Also, who is naturally the person who automatically tosses the baby into the air?
The father. While the mom bites her nails in worry. Dad also blows raspberries on the baby’s belly, making the baby luagh.

It has almost stopped. You see it clearly once you understand. It is biological. And essential.

Some native American tribes have a ceremony where the men put newborns on a blanket, and guys all gather round the edges of the blanket and use it as a trampoline to toss the baby up and down until it laughs. Why? Because in their religious belief, the soul does not enter the child until it laughs.

It’s natural, and a biological imperritive.
Make. The. Baby. Laugh!

Why do people ride roller coasters? It makes them laugh. When did they first feel that falling sensation that makes them laugh? Before they could think.

A baby’s first laugh is like throwing a switch and the lights come on. Think about it. It’s so friken obvious that people will get mad when you suggest it.

Dad’s do it to babies, because it was done to them and they know instinctively it is critical, absolutely critical, to the soul. By 3-4 months, it’s too late.

It’s no longer automatically done in many a baby’s early environments.

When I was a kid, we ate radioactive substances.

That explains a lot.......

I remember when our kids thought it was cute to eat dog food on all fours out of our German Shepherds bowl. Neither of them have any food allergies.

The increase peanut allergy all coincided with end of extensive peanut farming in Virginia through Georgia and the wholesale importation of peanuts from Africa. I often wondered about that coincidence.
Both of my boys were raised as i was in the ‘50s, essentially running wild in the coutryside. We. Built forts in the woods, went skinny dippin, had dirt clod fights, smoked wild grapevine and Indian cigars, ate wild fruit. I hardy ever wore shirt or shoes from June til September. And oh yeh, BB gun fight, loved ‘em. If you had googles you could were them but it was a point of honor to always shoot your opponents below the armpits.

Yeah. Babies eat their own poo, fer cryjng out loud. Kids need exposure to all possible pathogens in their environment early on. Yes, they get sick. And get well fast. And never get sick from it again.

And breast feeding is a shortcut to immunity from many pathogens in the mom’s environment.

And make babies laugh early and often. And kids need human touch and contact, often.

We used to know this stuff instinctively. Now we have bubble kids with autism.

I tend to think it is overblown as well. You wouldn’t know it by looking at the poor saps who have to remove things with asbestos in them...

DR. tells you to eat healthy then sends you to the supermarket to buy poison.

CBD and about another 80 or 90 canabiniods (Thats right folks, good ‘ol hemp) has been federally regulated out of our diets for 80 years. The fuel of the mammalian endocanabinoid system that fuels the hippocampus that regulates every involuntary response in the body. Those that are taking it are swearing by it for the help it is giving them with mysterious issues such as allergies, fibromyalgia, Type II diabetes and the list goes on.

But I would check with your government controlling agent before even thinking about it, even though it is legally available on the free market in all 50 states.

I agree with you. Babies (newborns) don’t have an immune system. They rely on the immune system of the mothers and the breast milk, as their own bacterial colony grows. “Medicine” is so archaic they don’t understand that. They have made an assault on an empty immune system to stimulate it and provoke an anti immune response. How does that make sense at 2, 4, and 6 months of age? To vaccinate before a year of age is literally ANTI SCIENCE and no one seems to call them on it.

But now?? So common!! Would love to know specific reasons why.

I suspect it's the pesticides being used on the peanuts, not the peanuts themselves.

I’m sorry to hear that.

I would not wish it on anyone.

That said, the minute exposure the average person gets is not what triggers that disease.
