Totally agree. Not anymore moving forward, but my SIL lived in Europe for 4-5 years seasonally. No one was allergic to anything she said over there.
I just don't go to the doc anymore unless I'm broken. Everyone I know that has an annual check up ends up on some meds. Those likely make them more sick. I trust ER and that's it. I did anti-anxiety meds for 3 weeks. Fuck that shit. I was sleeping 10-12 hours a day. No energy. The solution to fix that was probably adderal (sp?). One medication to then have other to fix the side effects. All destroying your body more than a 12 pack of beer a day (not my habit, maybe the weekend or vacation).
Peanut allergy "crisis" is a unique American
phenomenon and it was created by the stupid recommendation to avoid peanuts until the age of 3. If it was caused by vaccines it would be worldwide phenomenon, but it's not. And it practically didn't exist in the US until the start of this century and does not exist anywhere else.

What they have in common is this:
* a demand for special treatment
* a justification of the demand by appeal to "innate" biology without evidence
* an ever widening dizzying array of fashionable choices in allergies and sexualities
Prediction: the number of "food allergies" among gays and lesbians will be significantly higher than among normal people because the psychology is the same.
Slowly the general public is realizing that they have been had by egotists on both counts. The appropriate and beautiful response from a French wine bar in San Francisco:
Yes!
