Homeopathy asthma

Both the survey results and hospital discharge data showed the same trend -- a growing number of children with food allergies.
'Food allergy has certainly received quite a bit of attention in the news and other outlets in past few years,' said Branum. 'There's always the possibility that kids are getting in to see doctors more, and parents are taking some of the signs and symptoms more seriously.'
She added that she thinks diagnostic tools used to assess allergies have improved over the past decade leading to more frequent diagnosis.
But Ann Munoz-Furlong, founder and CEO of the nonprofit Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network, disagreed and said that all allergies, including food allergies, are on the rise.
'We are becoming more allergic as a population,' Munoz-Furlong said. 'And we need to find out why, so we can stop it.'
The study also found that children with food allergies were two to four times more likely than those with no food allergies to have asthma and other allergies.
'I think that it's important for physicians and parents to realize this because these food allergies obviously do not occur in isolation from other problems,' Branum said.
Among the findings:
29% of children reporting food allergies also reported asthma, whereas just 12% of food allergy-free children reportedly had asthma. 27% of children with food allergies reported eczema or a skin allergy, compared with 8% of kids without food allergies. More than 30% of children with food allergies reported respiratory allergy, compared with 9% of kids with no allergy to food



For the first time, researchers have shown that HRV hijacks many of your genes and causes an overblown immune response that ends up with your nose being overblown.
The research, published in the first issue for November of the American Thoracic Society's clinical research journal, the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, is the first study to comprehensively review gene changes caused by HRV.
'The study's findings are a major step toward more targeted cold prevention and treatment strategies while also serving as a valuable roadmap for the broader respiratory science community,' said David Proud, PhD, a professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Calgary, and lead author of the study. The study was done in collaboration with scientists at the University of Virginia and the Procter & Gamble Company.
Proud added that while colds are usually considered to be minor infections of the nose and throat, they can have much more serious health repercussions. 'Rhinovirus is the major cause of the common cold, but it is also an important pathogen in more serious conditions, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),' he said.
'Advances in our understanding of the biology of the common cold may eventually lead to improvements in treatment or methods for prevention of colds,' said Dr. Ron Turner, of the University of Virginia, one of the study's authors.
The researchers recruited volunteers who were inoculated with either HRV or a sham inoculation and obtained cell scrapings from the nasal passages 8 and 48 hours after inoculation and assessed the genetic changes by microarray, also know as gene chip technology
