Early Introduction To Allergenic Foods Prevents Kids’ Allergies

For decades, pediatricians and other health experts argued that parents should delay a child’s exposure to so-called allergenic foods such as peanuts, eggs, wheat and cow’s milk. But in recent years that belief has changed and now researchers are eager to prove early introduction, not avoidance, is actually the key to preventing serious food allergies.

The news comes just a day before the Sun squares Saturn. A chart for the mundane event at London, where the lead author of the research George Du Toit runs the Children's Allergy Clinic, is shown here . Notice that a powerful  T-square (Sun-Jupiter-Neptune-Saturn)  with  apex Saturn on MC straddles the meridian.

In medical astrology, Neptune is connected to the immune system. The immune system is comprised of a network of lymph glands and vessels that help protect us from disease and illness. By nourishing our immune system, we strengthen our ability to throw off toxins and withstand physical and emotional stress. http://www.stariq.com/Main/Articles/P0002275.HTM

Neptune is often implicated in allergies. https://astrologyexpressed.wordpress.com/tag/neptune-and-allergies/

Saturn [16sa] is conjunct the medical asteroid Aesculapia [16sa] and the star Eta (η) Ophiuchus, Sabik.  Ophiuchus, the healer is often depicted struggling with a poisonous serpent. This image also suggests, perhaps obliquely, how ancient healers dealt with snake poison.  The name Mithridatism was the practice of protecting oneself against a poison by gradually self-administering non-lethal amounts. The word is derived from Mithridates VI, the King of Pontus, who so feared being poisoned that he regularly ingested small doses, aiming to develop immunity.

Finally, Jupiter in Virgo is once again connected to physicians (Jupiter) and health issues (Virgo) while its sharp quincunx (health) aspect to Uranus speaks of a scientific breakthrough in medical understanding.
