These findings are the latest to lend support to the "hygiene hypothesis." This theory suggests that early exposure to many different microbes may keep the immune system working properly. If the immune system is working well, the theory is that it won't mistakenly go after harmless substances as happens in allergies.
Children also tended to be less likely to have an allergic disease of any kind overall if they ate fermented foods or vegetables -- such as sauerkraut or fermented cucumber -- at least once a month, or food from a local farm, the researchers found."

I am not sure where on the forum I could post this, but I'll give it a go here. I'm Chris and I'm part of a team of mechanical and mechanical design engineers at the University of Glasgow and we're working on a project to design and manufacture the next generation of a dry powder inhaler. I know that even though it's more commonly used for conditions like COPD, some people also use it for asthma.
If any of you use a DPI or know someone who does, we are looking to get some feedback on users' experience.
The survey should take about 5 minutes (or less) to complete. Your responses are received anonymously and will only be used for educational purposes. Please follow this link:

Many thanks! Your input is very valuable to us and on behalf of the team, we greatly appreciate your effort to completing it.View Thread


Developed by Boston-based LifeGuard Games in collaboration with pediatric asthma specialists, Wellapets teaches and motivates kids ages 6-11 to manage asthma by caring for a lovable fire-breathing drgaon that also has asthma.
The game focuses specifically on teaching kids to take their inhaler with the right technique at the right times, avoid asthma triggers, and recognize asthma symptoms before asthma attacks happen!

To get to the root of the matter, the system must be cleared of toxins and the nerve energy restored to normal; then the cause does not exist.

"At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier in January, we ran into Gecko Health Innovations, a young startup hoping to ease the difficulty of managing children's asthma with a simple, but brilliant, gadget. It's called the GeckoCap, and it's a small, Bluetooth-enabled rubber accessory that you can place atop your child's inhaler. The cap contains a tiny, colored LED light that starts flashing when it's time for your child to use the inhaler, and that will not stop until he or she does."View Thread
