“For those of you who, like me, want to solve the food allergy
mystery, Heather’s book cracks the code.”
—Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., from the Foreword
“Fraser has created a necessary text for anyone concerned with
allergies, anaphylaxis, or the rise in life-threatening reactions
to peanuts, which has become widespread and epidemic.”
—Mark Blaxill, co-founder of Health Choice and the Canary Party,
coauthor of The Age of Autism
“The Peanut Allergy Epidemic is a masterful piece of medical
detective work. Fraser has succeeding in doing what numerous
specialists have proven unable to do—she has uncovered the cause of
this iatrogenic phenomenon and given us an elegant explanation for
why and how peanut allergy/anaphylaxis has emerged as a modern-day
epidemic. With meticulous and thorough research and documentation,
she explores and discredits the various theories that have been
proposed as explanations for the rise in peanut allergy sufferers.
. . . [It] is a vital, groundbreaking book, covering material that
resides at intersection of medicine, history, and public policy. I
believe it should be required reading for everyone who administers
injections, everyone who receives injections, and everyone who
authorizes injections for children.”
—Janet Levatin, board-certified pediatrician, clinical instructor
in pediatrics, Harvard Medical School
“Phenomenal detective work! Heather Fraser weaves history,
medicine, and science into a convincing hypothesis to solve a
modern medical mystery. The Peanut Allergy Epidemic explains the
origins and recent dramatic rise in incidence of peanut allergy in
particular, but also provides a context for a wide range of other
increasingly common immunological diseases. It should be required
reading for pediatricians. I hope it is read by parents and
prospective parents everywhere before blindly consenting to
prophylactic medical interventions for their children.”
—Jamie Deckoff-Jones, M.D., graduate of Harvard University and
Albert Einstein College of Medicine
“As it tends to be with many autoimmune epidemics, more than one
road leads to the development of the peanut allergy. It’s Heather
Fraser who makes a convincing argument that the four-way
intersection of Newborn General Consent for Treatment, Novel
Pharmaceutical Frontiers, Public Health Policy Goals, and
Immunization Administration Convenience, paved the way for the
high-speed anaphylactic expressway that is our “new normal” today.
In a world where scientific research demands thorough investigation
into all causes of the allergy epidemic but one, Heather Fraser
stands alone, shining her light on the stones intentionally left
unturned for the last quarter of a century.”
—Robyn Ross, B.S., J.D., allergy advocate
“When we forget the history, we are bound to repeat it. In her book
The Peanut Allergy Epidemic, Heather Fraser unravels the forgotten
history of food allergy. She masterfully demonstrates how, time and
again, bizarre appearance and waning of widespread allergies to
certain foods in human populations has followed the introduction
and then withdrawal of specific medical formulations delivered by
injection. Prior mass occurrences of allergy to specific foods came
and went, but a modern epidemic of deadly peanut allergy is still
expanding. Are we to accept this epidemic without asking why it is
happening? Or should we strive to recognize the immunologic cause
so that the epidemic can be halted? The history of clinical and
immunologic research illuminated by The Peanut Allergy Epidemic
paves the way to finding the cause that will first be vehemently
denied, then ridiculed, and finally accepted.”
—Tetyana Obukhanych, PhD, author of Vaccine Illusion
“Heather Fraser has written an important book that points to a
false cost-benefit— in both economic and medical terms—in mass
vaccinations. This is a compelling work on a subject that is taboo
to the mainstream media.”
—Lawrence Solomon, columnist, Financial Post and executive director
of Energy Probe
“This magnificent book is in a rare class of books that present
impeccable scientific evidence in prose that is accessible to the
educated lay public, while slowly unfolding a gripping mystery that
grabs the reader’s attention all the way through. If Heather Fraser
is right about the link between vaccines and peanut allergy, and
the evidence speaks for itself, then it opens up the frightening
possibility that vaccines play a major role in all the food
allergies that beset today’s children.”
—Dr. Stephanie Seneff, senior research scientist, MIT Computer
Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
“In a masterful account, historian Heather Fraser illuminates the
statistics, theories and politics of the peanut allergy epidemic,
revealing intriguing parallels between this debacle and what other
contemporary public health controversies, such as autism, face.
This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to gain a broader
perspective on the politics of public health.”
—Teri Arranga, director of AutismOne, editor in chief, Autism
Science Digest
“The Peanut Allergy Epidemic, by Heather Fraser, is a book which
has been eagerly anticipated by anyone dealing with food allergy,
including parents, physicians, nurses, and teachers. Extensively
researched and entertainingly written, the book contains a wealth
of information about the history and origins of the epidemic of
peanut allergy which has occurred in the past twenty years, as well
as the vaccines and their additives that we have injected into our
children in ever-increasing amounts over the same time period. It
reads like a detective novel, but is all well documented, and
astonishingly true. This book should be required reading not only
for parents and physicians dealing with peanut allergy, but anyone
connected to the vaccine industry or the Food and Drug
Administration. Congratulations to Heather Fraser for having the
courage to tell a story which will not be well received by the
medical establishment, but needed to be told anyway.”
—Roger A. Francis, M.D., practicing physician in Nevada, Missouri,
parent of Tony, age 15, with autism and peanut allergy
“Why are children increasingly developing sometimes fatal allergies
to peanuts? The answer may lie in Heather Fraser's well-written and
well-researched book on the topic of childhood allergies, The
Peanut Allergy Epidemic. Part mystery story, part scientific
inquiry, Fraser's book should raise a lot of questions and open
some previously closed minds.”

and Visual Sciences, University of British Columbia
