I have had a potentially fatal
anaphylactic allergy to peanuts all my
life, with countless trips to the
emergency room and several close calls.
Since my early 20's, a product called
"anakit" has been a real life-saver
(literally) on many, many occassions.
Recently, my health care provider has
switched me to another product, called
"epipen". I've had to use it twice in two
years and on both occasions found that it
took a couple of hours (versus mere
minutes) to become fully effective.
I've been looking for the anakit online
and haven't been successful. I am hoping
that someone could explain to me why the
anakit would be more effective than the
epipen (larger dosage, perhaps) and where
I can find this elusive medication.

Look in yahoo search and type it in either
ana kit or ana-kit, that is how I found
it!

Why has your health care provider switched
you? Was it for insurance reasons? If
not, you need to talk to them, cause this
is seriosu stuff that shouldn't be messed
around with..I just don;t understand when
doctors/ insurance co. Cancel medicine
that works so well for people...Ahhh..Good
luck!!!
