Will My Peanut Allergy Come Back?

by Sally Northland

Whenever I was a young child, my parents began to recognize the fact that I was having a difficult time with certain types of foods.

As it turns out, I was allergic to a lot of the foods that I was eating but it was not necessarily because I have a lot of allergies, it was because of a common factor that was in many of these foods.

This was an allergic reaction that I was having to nuts, specifically, peanuts. I do not have an allergic reaction to other types of tree nuts because they are a different type of food, altogether. Peanuts are legumes and they have a specific type of protein in them which I was having allergic reaction to.

My parents were very careful to keep me away from anything that contain nuts, nut oil or had been cross contaminated in some way or another with peanuts. Unfortunately, I love the taste of peanut butter but I knew that eating just a little bit of it could possibly cause a reaction in me that would kill me.

I had felt mild reactions to it and it even had a difficult time in breathing a time or two so even from a very young age, I knew that it was not a good idea to push the situation.

As I grew older, the nut allergy seemed to disappear and I was not having allergic reactions, even when I knew I was coming in contact with cross contaminated items. I felt really good about this but I was also very cautious not to go all out and start eating peanuts.

The reason why this is the case is because I was fearful that the reaction would show up unexpectedly and I will be caught unawares. Even though it was good not to have to worry too much about the foods that I was eating, I was also very cautious in order to stay away from eating peanuts directly.

The fact of the matter is, if you have overcome a peanut allergy, you never know what it is going to resurface again. The difficult part about this is that if it happens to resurface out of the blue, you may not be prepared for it as if you thought you still had it.

That is why it is a good idea that if you have a nut allergy at one point in your life, you always live as if you still had it.

Even when we try to eat well, we're disadvantaged. The nutritional content of most food has been compromised over the years, not only by deficient soils and modern production, transportation, storage and processing methods, but also by the enormous amounts of chemical and artificial substances added to promote growth, storage life, taste and appearance.

It's for this reason that more and more medical authorities are advocating the use of vitamin and mineral supplements. However, finding them in the right combination can be both confusing and costly.
The nutrition products I am going to recommend you make use of knowledge gained from the botanical world's 6,000 year history. They incorporated health building nutritional herbs with the best modern technology to help our bodies cleanse and detoxify so that the cells - the tiniest living units - can be as fully nourished as possible.

This allows the cells to grow, repair and to perform their functions with the best possible efficiency so that we feel and look better and are more able to prevent and fight disease. Once the body begins to clear itself of toxins it can more efficiently absorb nutrition.
