@MatthewBowdish Flu "guidelines" for egg allergic are not really based on great evidence, and it is time for a change! Wait 'til the AAAAI 10:24 AM Nov 24th from web in reply to MatthewBowdish
Food allergy for thought--what if your allergist misdiagnosed/overcalled your (child's) FA? Would it change your management? #foodallergy 10:19 AM Nov 24th from web
Yeah, but SCIT works much betterRT@Allergy Adherence to allergen-specific immunotherapy is better for SLIT than SCIT http://bit.ly/6kGDpQ 10:18 AM Nov 24th from web
@EvidenceMatters there are equal arguments for too much vs lack of vitamin D being "associated" (not causing) allergy and asthma. 10:15 AM Nov 24th from web in reply to EvidenceMatters
Allergy to food coloring--no evidence exists except for carmine and annato. Otherwise dye/color is overattributed as a cause. #foodallergy 10:13 AM Nov 24th from web
@esehe5 only carmine and annato dyes have substantiated evidence of true allergy. The rest is without evidence xcpt self-report. 10:08 AM Nov 24th from web in reply to esehe5
@kmcfall No, actually, the data on a lack of association of allergy with food coloring is quite clear. This is myth, except for carmine. 10:07 AM Nov 24th from web in reply to kmcfall
Data for others conflicts this. RT @GinaClowes If Vitamin D Supplementation behind the Allergy Epidemic? http://www.aacijournal.com/... 10:06 AM Nov 24th from web

@EvidenceMatters didn't GSK have to pull their adjuvated vaccine? 2:53 PM Nov 21st from TwitterBerry in reply to EvidenceMatters
@EvidenceMatters no I was talking about ill fated GSK vaccine with a problematic adjuvant. The thimerisol stuff was fabricated! 2:35 PM Nov 21st from TwitterBerry in reply to EvidenceMatters
