Increase in Allergy Caused By Women's Lib? Thomas Leo Ogren
Recently my brother-in-law, a college professor, was seeing a
famous San Diego allergist, who I'll not name. He tried to tell
the allergist all about my book, Allergy-Free Gardening. The
allergist dismissed it all as unimportant and then told him,
'You want to know why there's so much allergy nowadays?' My
brother-in-law said that, yes, he certainly did want to know.
'Women's Lib,' said the learned doctor. 'Women used to stay ...

Allergy And Its Relation To Asthma
By Gelfey

cause of asthma and if that inflammation continues, it leads to
permanent changes in the airways making them more hyperreactive
(twitchy). Our current understanding of asthma suggests that the
inflammation in the airways is primarily eosinophilic in nature.
It seems likely that in future that understanding will ...

Any adverse reaction encountered by a person is often referred
to as an allergy. This is said to be a rare case. Adverse
reactions are often caused by an intolerance or sensitivity that
has nothing to do with allergy.
According to the medical profession and studies shows that, an
allergy involves the body's immune system. It is a
hypersensitivity reaction of the immune system to foreign
substances, which are normally considered harmless. What happens

You can diminish your allergy symptoms by avoiding those things
you are allergic to. Allergists refer to this method as
"allergen avoidance". Of course, you have to identity those
things to which you are allergic. For our family, we have
allergies to dust mites, cigarette smoke, pet dander, and mold.
Therefore, we implemented a comprehensive strategy to reduce and
remove those allergens from our home.
To help you get started, you can use the following checklist as

The allergy seasons are a real challenge, especially if you wear
contact lenses. A chronic allergy to mold, pet dander or other
environmental allergens can create a year-round dilemma. No
matter what the cause, seasonal allergies make your eyes
hypersensitive and irritated. Ordinary soft contact lenses often
make them feel even worse.
There's a lot you can do to reduce the misery of allergy season.
Keep your contacts as clean as you can whether you have to use

There are many causes of allergies. Some people are allergic to
foods such as nuts, chocolate, and shellfish, some to medicines.
Some suffer from allergies to animal dander such as cats, some
from seasonal allergies such as pollen in the springtime or
ragweed in the late summer and fall. Some allergies bring on
contact dermatitis in the form of hives or eczema.
The one thing all these allergies have in common is that there
is no cure for any of them. Aside from allergies that are severe

An allergy can be described as a malfunction of the immune

mistakenly believes that something it has touched, smelled or

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
