If you inject the body with a combination of food protein and aluminum adjuvant, the body produces IgE antibodies = food allergy. And asthma... read the definition and then look up bronospasm, wheezing, and trouble breathing as side effects of drugs. Tylenol/Acetaminophen is listed. So are Amoxicillin and Ampicillin. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I do have to question any comparison of wild rodents to laboratory rodents. &amp;nbsp;There would be too many other conditions to know what the actual condition that is contributing to the difference in the two groups of rodents the studies are showing. &amp;nbsp;The laboratory group would have a different diet, source of water, amount of natural light, exposure to synthetic light, limited mobility, amount of fear from enviroment, daily activities, amount of activity, exposure to various environments, varied daily activities, etc. &amp;nbsp;Every aspect of their lifestyles would be different. &amp;nbsp;It might be the over sterility of their environment, it might be the fear of the lab personnel, that is influencing the results of the study. &lt;/p&gt;

Please go to &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.marshallprotocol.com"&gt;www.marshallprotocol.com&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;to read new research on the impact of adding a hormone to the human diet in an unregulated way given new knowledge that has been discovered on how bacteria convert this hormone to the active form which ultimately leads to immune disregulation resulting in a wide variety of inflammatory health problems. Sun exposure and the formation of “Vitamin D” in the skin is not controlled by the kidneys in individuals affected by inflammatory health conditions. These are individuals who need to have their 1, 25-D levels as well as their 25-D levels measured when their physician recommends a “Vitamin D” level be checked. Knowledge is key to one's health! Here's to your improved health!&lt;/p&gt;
