For Years… and even Today, ALLERGIES have been swept under the Medical Care RUG and regarded as a Trivial Nuisance to be Tolerated.
However, Today’s Parent cannot open a Newspaper or turn on the TV without seeing / hearing about ALLERGIES and ASTHMA.
Dr. Bock’s Book: Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma %26amp; Allergies speaks DIRECTLY to the common Thread that Chemical, FOOD and Environmental InHalant ALLERGIES play in Today’s Childhood Epidemic Diseases.
As a Parent, Family History of ALLERGY is the Greatest Risk Factor in predicting ALLERGY Disease Presence.
It is Important to know that ALLERGY is a Cumulative, Progressive Chronic Disease.
Typically, beginning with FOOD Allergies in early Childhood and migrating to Environmental InHalant ALLERGY, UnTreated Mild to Severe ALLERGY continues / Exacerbates .. Leading to unabated Disease Progression and a LifeTime, Slippery Slope of further recalcitrant Diseases and Health Complications.
Further, beyond the numerous Physical Ailments / Diseases as a result of Allergy, More and more EveryDay… Medical Professionals are crystallizing the causal effects of a Compromised Immune %26amp; GastroIntestinal System as a result of Environmental and FOOD Allergy with various Emotional and Behavioral Issues ( Book: BRAIN Allergies / Dr. William Philpott ).
Today’s ALLERGY = Tomorrow’s Allergic ASTHMA.
Today is WORLD Allergy Day ….
But rather than being a DAY of Celebration ..
It is a Declaration of WAR Against ALLERGY
and all the recalcitrant Diseases and Health Complications that result due to its NonTreatment.
ALLERGIES Insidiously Compromise Health and EVERY Aspect of Personal, Family, Social, Academic, Exercise %26amp; Professional Quality of LIFE !
BUT… You, or your Loved one are Not Helpless !
It is Important to know, that via your Physician and a Single Blood Test,
You can be Tested for BOTH Sides of the Allergy COIN:
%26lt;%26lt;%26gt;%26gt; Both Immediate and Delayed FOOD Allergy
%26lt;%26lt;%26gt;%26gt; Environmental InHalants i.e Pet, Mites, Dust, Grass, Tree, Weed, Insect etc.
Further, once your Offending FOOD and InHalent Allergens are Identified via your Blood Test…
They can be Treated / Neutralized …
Putting an END to the Allergy March which has ruined so many Peoples Lives.
Take a moment to READ what WORLD Health Experts say about ALLERGIES and How they can be Neutralized.
WORLD ALLERGY DAY TODAY
December 2007 -- World Allergy Day 2007, which is organized by World Allergy Organization in association with the Global Alliance Against Chronic Respiratory Diseases (GARD) program of WHO, and focuses on Chronic Allergic Respiratory Diseases.
World Allergy Day 2007 has the following objectives:
- Increase awareness of chronic allergic respiratory diseases
- Increase awareness of the profile of important local allergens, their prevalence throughout the year, and how climate changes are impacting the natural history of allergens
- Educate physicians, patients and the public about the role of persistent allergen exposure in initiating and sustaining chronic allergic respiratory diseases and their co-morbidities
- Highlight the Importance of Identifying, Treating and Controlling these Diseases
The objective of World Allergy Day is to educate healthcare professionals and patients about the link between rhinitis (more commonly known as 'hay fever') and Asthma and the 'allergic march.'
It is well known that a person suffering from one allergy has an increased risk of developing more allergies and Asthma - an occurrence dubbed the "Allergic March". The allergic march describes the progression in clinical manifestations of an allergy, in this case the progression from Rhinoconjunctivitis into Asthma.
Ü Due to the risk of the 'Allergic March', the ARIA guidelines recommend that ImmunoTherapy should be initiated early in the disease process to prevent the further development of severe disease (AIRA guidelines 2001).
Currently there exist three ways of treating allergy: Avoidance, symptomatic medications and ImmunoTherapy. The strategy of allergy avoidance is difficult for an airborne allergen such as grass pollen, and while symptomatic medications (e.g. antihistamines and local steroids) may offer a short-term symptomatic relief, they do not treat the underlying cause of the disease and hence are not an optimal long-term solution.
Ü Only ImmunoTherapy targets the underlying Allergic Disease, having the potential to produce long-term remission. Several controlled clinical studies have also demonstrated the added benefits of ImmunoTherapy in treating Asthma symptoms in patients suffering from allergic Asthma, and in preventing the development of new Allergies and Asthma(i).|||Make the connection.
No doctor will tell you this because it is so simple and yet so "not medical" but nonetheless it is VERY important. Also, patients as a whole like to walk out of a doctors office with a prescription for some magical medicine and many of these meds either do not work or cause other problems.
Chemicals are often the root of all evil when it comes to your health. If you use any of the below mentioned items it is common to have sinus, asthma and allergy problems amongst other health issues. Get rid of them and your lungs will thank you and you will breathe easier.
No Bounce or any other dryer sheets
No Febreeze
No Glade Plug-ins
No scented candles
No Perfumes
No Fragranced Products on Body, Hair or Clothing
No Smoke
No Dander
No Sprays|||The autism and ADHD connection makes sense, but not the asthma. I paid six dollars for permission to reprint the following newspaper article from archives. It demonstrates that asthma is not related to allergies, but is, in fact, very obviously a neurotic symptom:

LUNG MUSCLE IMPLICATED IN ASTHMATICS' WHEEZING
John Hendren, Associated Press
Asthmatics wheeze because their lung muscles can't relax,
not because of irritants in the air, a new study suggests.
''If that is the case, then we can probably detect it very
early on, before people develop asthma,'' said Dr. Alkis
Togias of Johns Hopkins Medical Center, who presents the
findings in the November issue of The Journal of Clinical
Investigation.
In an asthma attack, the smooth muscles that line the
lungs contract, blocking the passage of air and leaving
victims gasping for breath.
Scientists have thought the muscles contract because of an
unusual reaction to irritants or allergens, such as airborne
pollen or pollutants.
Togias and a team of Hopkins researchers believe asthmatics
and nonasthmatics alike have the same air-blocking reaction
to lung irritation. But they contend asthmatics have a second
problem: lung muscles that cannot relax normally.
''We suspect that nonasthmatics overcome this reaction by using
deep breaths to relax the muscles and open up the air passages
and that asthmatics lack this ability,'' Togias said.
''It is definitely not the conventional wisdom,'' said
Dr. Michael Kaliner, medical director of the Institute for
Asthma and Allergy at the Washington Hospital Center, who
had not seen the study.
``When you and I take a deep breath, our muscles stay relaxed.
But when an asthmatic takes a deep breath the muscles do contract.''
The researchers tested their theory by making nonasthmatics
wheeze as asthmatics do. The researchers gave nonasthmatics
the inhalant drug, methacholine, which acts as an irritant and
causes breathing problems in asthmatics. Then they told the
volunteers not to breathe deeply.
The result: Nonasthmatics developed asthma-like breathing problems.
''This is just the reaction we would expect if asthma is caused by
an impairment of muscle relaxation triggered by deep breaths,''
Togias said.
