As food allergies become more prevalent--both clinically and in the public eye--a lot of people are asking where the hell they came from. Heather Fraser thinks she knows, and she has written a book about it, to which I'm not going to link, because, seriously, fuck Heather Fraser.

Fraser is an anti-vaccine activist, with a history of justifying an extreme-even-for-the-anti-vax-crowd stance with "evidence" that is, at best, deeply medically and scientifically suspect. She also used to bill herself as a "holistic allergist," and claimed to be able to cure life-threatening food allergies (which is another rant altogether) although most references to that have been scrubbed pending this new release, as has her previous holistic-med-focused twitter account.

The reason I'm posting this here is that Fraser or someone linked to her has been spamming allergy message boards with glowing recommendations--almost word-for-word identical--of The History of the Peanut Allergy Epidemic.

Guys, what Heather Fraser peddles is misinformation masquerading as science. And when you're dealing with life-threatening medical conditions? Misinformation can be as deadly as a loaded gun.

Spread the word. Don't support this shit.
