Development of allergies appears to be a combination of the environment and genetic make-up. Many studies have demonstrated that the greater the incidence of allergy in both your immediate and extended family, the greater the likelihood that your children will also have allergies. However, the environment in which live will also plays a role. For example, the allergens in Alaska will be different than those in Florida. Therefore, if you lived in Florida for many years and then moved to Alaska, ...Read the rest of this entry »

Food Allergies
An allergy can be described as a malfunction of the immune
system, an exaggerated response to certain substances. Your body
mistakenly believes that something it has touched, smelled or
eaten is harmful to it and your body releases massive amounts of
chemicals, such as histamine to protect itself.
It is believed that 11 million Americans suffer from food
allergies. These allergies are as varied as food itself is. Some
people suffer from an allergy to one food, some to many. The
most common food ...Read the rest of this entry »

It's Allergy Season
Writing this from Dallas, Texas one of the ragweed hotspots of
the nation, I'm particularly aware of "allergies" and the havoc
they can cause. Here are some facts about allergies:
More than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies. Ragweed
pollen is probably the largest single seasonal allergen in North
America. It is estimated that one square mile of ragweed plants
would release 16 tons of pollen in one season. Even skin contact
with ragweed can cause dermatitis.
