Why are so many kids today Allergic to everything

it is a lot of things. Partly kids aren't as active as they once were. I think that goes without saying. When I was a kid I had allergies to airborne stuff but then again, I was always knee deep in dirt, running around in fields of hay, looking for animals to catch...etc. I was a very natrualistic child, even though I grew up overweight...

I eventually stopped taking my medicine and rarely take any medicine and I have no allergies. Not to animals, not to airborne, not to food, not even to poison ivy...

It is my belief that the more we are exposed to something, the more accustomed our bodies get to it. Hell, if a human mind can be conditioned to exposure to something in a lifetime, why can't a human body? Our bodies sometimes seem to have a mind of their own.

But back on topic, the more kids stay inside the less the are exposed to the natural world, and it's potential "allergens" so...when a kid finally does go out and play and they come home sneezing...the stupid parents (not you) react "OMG ALLERGIES!!!" and take the kid to the doctor.

This is where a major part of it comes in. The pharmecuitical compaines. They want you to believe in allergies. They want you to believe when you are born with an allergy...your ******. Why? MONEY!

It is the same thing with mental health. Notice how many "Depression" commercials you see on the TV? Notice how they are all Women in those commercials?

I'm a guy, I got depressed once. They put me on meds. People thought I was weird.

I stopped taking them. Why? they were incredibly expensive, the doctors INSISTED that I take them for at least 6 months before they can really "start working" and all depression medication MAKES YOU REALLY FAT...

Imagine that? A depression medication targeted towards women that has a strange side effect of making them fat...see a cycle there?

The point is, most kids could build natural immunities to most potentially allergic things, but many do not go outside enough to do so, so when they do, they get overloaded, which puts many on medication...


as far as the kid with the peanut allergy...well...in some rare cases people have biological idiosyncrasies (allergies) where their bodies can't metabolize certain things. Like peanut butter, shellfish, and diet soda. Phenylketonuria is the inability to metabolize compounds like phenylalanine found in artificial sweeteners, like the ever popular aspartame (which also makes you fat by slowing your metabolism down) and so if you read on every diet soda can, it says Phenylketonurics (those are people with Phenylketonuria) : Contains Phenylalanine

so for specific allergies, it is a just a natural phenomena, just something that happens every once in a while...

for basic, general allergies...its a scam from the pharmecuitical companies....
