Think, for example, of the many random manifestations your brain can incur, totally random. We're all made the same, we all feel the same, and yet we're all so different. Why is that? Does our brain manifest new problems we have to overcome in order to keep the challenge up?

It is my belief that being insane is something your brain manifests to keep it from being bored. It may not be desirable in some cases, but think about it for a second.

Why do people have peanut allergies? Is there some chemical inbalance that makes it so? Let's look at the reactions people can have:

- Sense of foreboding, fear, or apprehension
- Flushed face, hives, swollen or itchy lips, mouth, eyes, or tongue
- Tightness in mouth, chest or throat
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing, drooling, wheezing, choking, coughing
- Running nose, voice change
- Vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pains
- Dizziness, unsteadiness, sudden fatigue, rapid heartbeat, chills
- Pallor, loss of consciousness, coma, death

With such varied reactions, I think it is safe to say that this allergy is a manifestation of the brain, completely random.

But where would such a manifestation come from to be so common?

The answer is, or most likely, breast milk. Studies have shown, according to this online brochure, that breast milk contains proteins that are also found in Peanuts. Therefore, it is possible that this protein is rejected at random within people during the breastfeeding process.

But why the Peanut protein? Why not others?

Honestly, I don't know...I can only imagine that it is an isolated protein, and because of that, the mind would randomly reject it. During infancy, you can develop many allergies if you're exposed to them too early. Like Milk, for example. If an infant drinks Cows milk too early, it will develop an allergy to it.

Anyways, moving on. What about other illnesses? Like mental illnesses? Let's look at Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. You see something that catches your attention, and suddenly it's all you can think about for any period of time. You might scream at it, you might attempt to attack it, you might do any number of things focused about this one thing. Is this really an illness, or is it your brain trying to have some fun?

There really isn't a way to tell for sure, since many people just have this blind eye towards what insane means, and never bother to examine this phenomenon.

If it isn't normal, it's crazy, right?
