Allergy cure just three years away.

Treatments for potentially fatal food allergies are also in the pipeline - and vaccines capable of preventing a host of dehabilitating conditions in a single jab could be available in just ten years.

The injections, pills - and even drops that dissolve under the tongue - will transform the lives of the millions of Britons whose lives are blighted by conditions from hay fever to potentially lethal nut allergies.

Researcher Dr Ronald van Ree said: 'This is not science fiction, it is realistic.'

Jonathan Brostoff, Professor of Allergy at King's College London, said he believed treatments for peanut allergy based on manmade proteins have 'a big future'.

Ho ho... but hang on...

What about this:

Adjuvants are agents that can boost the potency of vaccines by further stimulating the immune system. By doing so, adjuvants may also be able to reduce the amount of vaccine needed per dosage, which can help stretch a tight vaccine supply.
The only FDA-approved adjuvants currently available are based on aluminum salt derivatives, which can cause allergic reactions in some users, according to BioSante. The company believes that BioVant is an attractive alternative, as it's based on the compound calcium phosphate, which is found in human bones.
"The problem with most adjuvants is that they can cause allergies," said Simes. "Ours might not be as potent as others, but it is safer."

Ha!

So!

Why the increase in allergies, huh???

and now, they also provide the cure to their curse???

Well, when I tell people I cured my seasonal allergies with a better diet and vitamins/minerals, they act like I have 2 heads ..they just don't get it but then they have never tried it either. It seems they just want to pop a pill as their cure-all.

This is the first year I didn't suffer thru horrible spring/summer seasonal allergies and it feels great!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, but this is really starting to sound like that old story "The Monkey's Paw"...

The problem with most adjuvants is that they can cause allergies.

"Can" cause allergies? That is quite misleading. The author refers to the use of aluminum-containing vaccines in general but considers their potential to cause allergies in the individual - as evidenced by the phrase "can cause allergies".

And that's crap, plain and simple. Sure, in any particular individual the adjuvant in the vaccine can cause allergies. But because vaccines are given to so many millions of people, it is a statistical certainty that they do cause allergies - vaccines are increasing the number of people with allergic disease.

To be precise (or just plain honest) he should have said:

The problem with most adjuvants is that they cause allergies.

...and from my understanding so do injected foreign proteins.

Charles Richet

We are so constituted that we can never receive other proteins into the blood than those that have been modified by digestive juices.

Every time alien protein penetrates by effraction, the organism suffers and becomes resistant.

Some time ago I had found an article on shallow injection vaccines (I think Low-volume jet injection or shallow dermal injection or something like that ) and they were touted as causing a better immune response than traditional needle delivery. Would that mean they could eliminate the aluminum in vaccines? If so, why are they still using the traditional method.

No, because the function of aluminium in the vaccine is designed to "kick" the antigen presenting cells into working when without aluminium, they would twiddle their thumbs.

The problem is what else goes along with that as well.

They would still need an adjuvant of some sort, no matter the method of delivery.

They used jet injectors in Africa and quite them when they found they spread HIV, HBV and a few other nasties in the process, in exactly the same way as arm-to-arm smallpox vaccination also spread disease.
