Varivax - varicella (chicken pox) - every ingredient causes allergies

Every single listed ingredient causes problems. How many diseases are being caused by the body's natural immune response to a vaccine ingredient?

VARIVAX is a vaccine indicated for active immunization for the prevention of varicella in individuals 12 months of age and older.

EDTA In addition, some people may have an allergic reaction to EDTA. Source: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid | University of Maryland Medical Center 
embryonic guinea pig cell cultures Allergies are caused by exposure to proteins that are normally present in the animal’s saliva or urine, or in secretions from glands in the skin. Get tested for guinea pig allergies. When you call the allergist to make an appointment, be sure to tell them you want to be tested for guinea pigs as they may need to order the serum. http://www.petfinder.com/pet-care/small-and-furry-care/living-guinea-pig-allergies/
fetal bovine serum Most children with beef allergy are also allergic to cow's milk and should avoid the consumption of dairy products. Sensitization to bovine serum albumin is a marker of cow's milk allergy in children with beef allergy. - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12487203

Findings in epidemiology and animal experimentation suggest that autoimmunity in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) may be triggered by dietary cow-milk protein, particularly bovine serum albumin (BSA).  http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/18/8/1089.full.pdf
glutamate Approximately 30% of Celiacs have glutamate intolerance.  One of the indicators of glutamate intolerance can be a reaction to the vaccines as infants or children. The vaccines are high in glutamate in the form of MSG. I had seizures. http://www.acne.org/messageboard/topic/292474-i-have-glutamate-intolerance/

The epidemiological studies done in the United States in the 1970s suggest that 25% to 30% of the population was intolerant of monosodium glutamate at levels then found in food. Considering the expanded use of monosodium glutamate and other MSG-containing food additives since that time, we conservatively estimate that approximately 40% of the U.S. population presently react adversely to MSG. http://www.truthinlabeling.org/Proof_AdverseReactions_AR.html

Scleroderma/systemic sclerosis. An autoimmune disease characterized by abnormal growth of connective tissue in the skin and blood vessels. In more severe forms, connective tissue can build up in the kidneys, lungs, heart, and gastrointestinal tract, leading in some cases to organ failure. - http://www.niams.nih.gov/HEALTH_INFO/Autoimmune/default.asp

a child with systemic sclerosis may also develop problems with internal organs (such as the kidneys, heart, lungs and gastrointestinal tract). Children with systemic sclerosis have more widespread skin changes that can result in limited joint movement. - http://www.cchs.net/health/health-info/docs/1600/1679.asp?index=4910

hydrolyzed gelatin All gelatin contained in vaccines is porcine in origin. Studies in Japan confirmed the findings of Kelso and colleagues that severe allergic reactions to MMR vaccine were associated with the presence of antibodies in the blood directed against gelatin. Although the incidence of anaphylaxis to gelatin is extremely low (about one case per 2 million doses), gelatin is the most common identifiable cause of severe allergic reactions to vaccines. - http://www.chop.edu/service/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-safety/vaccine-ingredients/gelatin-allergies.html
monosodium L-glutamate The epidemiological studies done in the United States in the 1970s suggest that 25% to 30% of the population was intolerant of monosodium glutamate at levels then found in food. Considering the expanded use of monosodium glutamate and other MSG-containing food additives since that time, we conservatively estimate that approximately 40% of the U.S. population presently react adversely to MSG. http://www.truthinlabeling.org/Proof_AdverseReactions_AR.html
neomycin Before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to neomycin, bacitracin, or polymyxin; or to aminoglycoside antibiotics (e.g., gentamicin, tobramycin); or if you have any other allergies.  http://www.healthcentral.com/allergy/h/neomycin-allergy.html
phosphate A phosphate allergy is a difficult one to quantify. Since phosphates are found in the majority of ingredients used to cook, it is one of the most difficult allergies from which to suffer. http://allergies.answers.com/types-of-allergies/common-symptoms-of-phosphate-allergies
potassium chloride Allergic reactions to potassium chloride are rare but can be potentially deadly. http://www.ehow.com/list_6394786_harmful-effects-potassium-chloride.html
