Breathing Techniques For Children with Asthma and AllergiesAsthma is an affliction that many children are victims of. Many parents do not fully understand the disease, its symptoms, or its effects. As a result, asthma attacks can cause a parent to panic and have an overwhelming feeling of vulnerability. Consequently, this often only serves to make the child panic which makes the asthma attack even more debilitating. Part of the reason that asthma is so traumatic is because it is often not diagnosed until after the child has the first attack. Once diagnosed, however, there are many medications and treatments that can help an attack after it begins. Of course, most parents would say that they would rather the attack never happens. There are many ways that parents can help prevent asthma attacks in their children. Once you realize that your child has asthma, start [...] Continue Reading…

Kids Living With Food AllergiesAllergies can be quite bothersome. They take on an entirely new level of irritation when they involve food and food byproducts. Many times, parents do not know what foods their child has developed allergies to until they have been exposed to those foods. Unfortunately, by the time they find out, their child has already suffered a troubling reaction. The ingredients in a food can also cause allergic reactions if they contain byproducts of the food allergen. This can be frightening to parents who do not know how to handle the symptoms of an allergic reaction. Food allergies, as opposed to food sensitivities, occur in the immune system. A true allergy to a food results in a violent, life-threatening reaction caused by the immune system attacking the offending protein as it enters the body and bloodstream. The immune system produces an antibody [...] Continue Reading…

There’s a new drugless therapy that works for most mental problems called Neuroliminal Training (NT). NT has NO bad side effects! NT is easily affordable even to low income families! NT is used at home. NT changes brain wave amplitudes by subliminal messaging. NT is a fraction of the cost of EEG Biofeedback (aka Neurofeedback), simpler and cheaper. It has clearly shown in 6 separate volunteer tests over the past 4 years, that NT is at least equally successful to EEG Biofeedback, a proved albeit very expensive therapy. (The only real difference is cost.) Success rates are so good that “noticeable improvement”, even on autism cases is guaranteed within 6-8 weeks or money back”. There is no such guarantee anywhere else in the health business! NT has been used with ADD-Autism, depression, PTSD, anxiety, insomnia, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and much more. How does it [...] Continue Reading…

What is allergic rhinitis?
Allergic rhinitis, more commonly known as “hay fever,” happens when you breathe in something you are allergic to. The inside of your nose becomes inflamed or swollen.
When this happens, the body’s immune system overreacts to specific particles such as plant pollens, molds, dust mites, animal hair, industrial chemicals, tobacco smoke, foods, medicines, and even insect venom.
Allergic rhinitis affects 40 million people in the United States and is an extremely common condition, affecting approximately 20% of the population. While allergic rhinitis is not a life-threatening condition, complications can occur and the condition can impair one’s quality of life leading to a number of indirect costs. Recently, the total direct and indirect cost of allergic rhinitis was estimated at around $5 billion annually.
What are the symptoms of allergic rhinitis?
Signs of allergic rhinitis are similar to signs of a common cold. But, unlike symptoms for [...] Continue Reading…
