the, the spring flowers, pets, eggs, all seemingly homeless. but if you suffer from allergies, they can make life miserable. what are the causes? why on more and more people developing them? how can they be prevented everything you need to know about allergies coming up on in good shape? the
8:31 am
not like d as in queen then allergy is basically just a small malfunction. and then otherwise an excellent immune system is of course. then think of it like the police accidentally releasing the wrong wanted to post a hyphen housekeeping. professor tossed and super beer is one of the world's leading experts in allergy research. the system of allergy sufferers is unusually sensitive to foreign substances leading to symptoms such as runny noses, itchy eyes, skin rashes, and reading issues. triggers include pollen and dust mites that can blur can mattresses. animal for can also triggered the bodies of allergic response. here's what happens. the new system detects something that's actually harmless, like cat for as a danger. it launches a series of responses to get rid of the french and causes an over reaction. and
8:32 am
that leads to the typical would you symptoms treat problems are some of the worst allergens of birch tree? for example, can release about $22000000000.00 cohen greens per season. a nightmare for allergy sufferers. bear with me in system mistakes the penguins for an interested invader. and overreacts sending out a whole army of antibodies. they then triggered the release of histamine which boosts blood flow to the area and causes inflammation. histamine also talks to special receptors in the body and causes symptoms like itching, sneezing and rash. the world health organization says about 1700000 people worldwide suffer from allergic re nights and 300000000 from asthma. the numbers have risen in recent decades. ozzy and in in asia, in tropical regions, dust, mites and mold are the main allergens present and singapore. 60 percent of the
8:33 am
population is no allergic to tough nights in, not placing that like you own in the main one in northern regions. bill is paul in from bucks. trees usually caught in north america its rag, we'd improves the appalling wheat. and what was the point when to uninstall america? it's dust mites or mold the let sewing it or depending on the claim, its own grass. poland has applied climate changes. one reason for the increasing number of people suffering from allergies. northern regions are becoming warmer, extending the power and season and air pollution in urban areas is another factor. i'll switch to the move the themes to the immune system. certain substances such as poland will have to come more everything when they're coated with suit to, for example, assistance or modern indoor lifestyle also exposes us to other pollutants, can trigger and immune response to dust. mites can end up as target split our immune system to host of means is the children are especially prone to alex.
8:34 am
the tendency towards allergies can also be inherited. that's why many parents wonder what they can do to prevent some of my math and kind of new salting during pregnancy should be avoided and definitely been since shouldn't be exposed to cigarette smoke and should be introduced to solid foods. early in the past, the thinking was that certain foods should be avoided. i. we know know the opposite is true in children, should have as varied a diets as possible from the beginning and the hold on a 2nd. what else can allergy suffers? do city to oh, should only open their windows between 6 and 8 am and then keep them shot, take off and stored dirty clothes in the bathroom, take a shower and see a doctor. affordable allergy, medicines and treatments are widely available. and again that off, unfortunately, allergies are often play. don't. i often hear someone say it's just sneezing under
8:35 am
runny nose, no big deal. so they put the child with an untreated rhinitis. is 40 percent more likely to see their grades suffer and just fix performance even for adults working with the industry has no need to live with these symptoms. we have very good treatment options that have very few side effects. oops, cutting how as to to help you research as a found the children from the country side or less likely to suffer from allergies . that's because of they've got micro biome which develops in the 1st year of life and acts like a protective shield. it appears that spending time on a thumb, especially in a cow bond, could play a role scientist. so now figuring out how these findings can be used to help protect specific kids to these young, i'm sure we have 2 ideas for how we might prevent asthma and which i send to. i'm
8:36 am
leaving 1st drinking. minimally process cow's milk could help the under the 2nd we're looking into developing and know, spray made with substances from farm environments which could also offer protection to ensure that until that's why the available. there's plenty that parents in both rural and urban environments, can do to reduce that child's risk of developing allergies. looked at me. i'm 8 months old from my surroundings have already changed a lot, including when it comes to allergies. yeah, she's cleaning up. does she realize what she's doing? my immune system really needs to know, so didn't to it. so i hope she doesn't backs inventory last just every, when viruses like tyria and song, most of them on to threat to and just doesn't do anything to mutual. this just so
8:37 am
much going on. i'd love to tell my mom to take it easy to clean my immune system and i have to be able to distinguish between good and bad bacteria. oh mom you always mean so well? so that i don't have a logic reactions to everything based on you should let me explore lots of different things. my parents do lots of things just right. including with food, most milk of my favorites. but when it comes to avoiding how that yeah, i have to start anything other foods to an impulse and positive training. my immune system takes place in the intestines. that's what billions of bacteria live, and they'll help determine my allergies in the future. how let me explain like the
8:38 am
ways to set some time on the lights. that's how my intestines zip today. and that is how my intestines looked when i was born. the hello. the 1st inhabitants of my intestines came from my mother's badge, no flora. they both, we introduced themselves to my immune system, just like the mill packed area to came directly from mama. and then more and more was added to it from bottles from plates. i'm from the ground. there are so many wonderful these different bacteria and phone guy. they show the immune cells indian test and although that's what it's like outside unless they need to prepare for studies, i'm thousands of babies like may have shown that a sudden bacteria also found in my intestines. by now, it's more likely that i could get an estimate of the
8:39 am
fortunate need. we still don't know exactly which bacteria other more important ones. there's simply too many of them. the hope we know for sure is what we shouldn't be doing. like taking on top by all 6 they care good bacteria and bring the intestinal flora house of black show when i'm really sick. i'm glad to have antibiotics around. mama takes care of me. speaking of mama, she can only do so much to prevent her analogies. she can only do a bit of retroactive tweaking by ingesting good bacteria. it works like this. the good bacteria ton complex carbohydrates into fatty acids that strength and immune system. those call the hydrants are found in foods that have to be chewed well,
8:40 am
like whole grain, sour crowds, and nuts. they keep your show and you've got busy. and that's a good thing. the news training for allergy prevention is fresh roll and not just to face the back here yet in fresh room milk. on not disgusting, a tool. and the last of them seem to be especially valuable to immune system. the impact of intestinal bacteria on the development of allergies is still being researched by grow. not the animal and dust mites are among the common outage ins, spots around 20000 other agents. i've been identified to date like franklin substances and perfume,
8:41 am
detentions foods such as apples. i'm not kidding anything that contains them. the proceeds and milk grains and also inspect them. fights and things can cause very serious reactions. but they're all of the rent allergies apply to energy can cause rashes and breathing difficulties. anyone with an alco allergy needs to avoid mouth wash answers and cleaning products. them energy symptoms include itching and burning sensation and then there's nero dermatitis, which is also called a topic x amount. it's a skin condition characterized by chronic itching or scaling. it often goes hand in hand with allergies, so it's important, but it's properly treated. confident as ignored and emergency it up to send to see it because it was started bad. how it is. skin was completely infected and he had
8:42 am
open weeping words. it wasn't just separate patches. they all kind of mugs, and he had to open words on his face as well. we were admission straight away and my 1st had to find out what was wrong. that's why the 1st day last did a good 3 weeks of the s awesome types with the bible from that that was at this allergy center. doctors from different disciplines have been working together to help. reuben is neuro dermatitis, also called a topic, eczema was so severe that it affected his groups the to have p a. the treatment was so intense that we brought the dermatologist and board quite quickly. that's what we would have. yeah, magazine panata vice viewed us through this is a great example of the importance of interdisciplinary work and the what was initially a skin problem that ended up causing a long list of pediatric issues, science festival that helps skin was affected, which led to itching and lots of sleep on some on the outlet to low food intake and weight loss, the symptoms of nutritional deficiencies that final,
8:43 am
that's pull cleaned by the, by the problem with reuben was that as soon as he ate anything, he started drooling that session. that's very common at that age health. but when seriously inflamed skin comes into contact with saliva, it causes even more redness. imaging, 2 kinds went this week and so he didn't want to eat anything. and that combined with poor sleep was what led to his failure to thrive, compute the doctors 1st tried giving him antibiotics, appointments creams and a special diet. but reuben had to come back just a few weeks later, just calling to him in the segment, evenings. but i couldn't go shopping with him on my on or drive into town with him in the car to time when he was sitting in the car seat in the back. he'd scratch, he's skin so badly that it was hard for me to concentrate on driving. and of course, at maggie's, in so much, was it all in the end, we realized he needed to be traded. we call design limits and not just causes on crane, which is a fairly common treatments in your dramatize,
8:44 am
has he needed systemic causes aren't therapy, taking those liquid cartoons that the problem was that ruben would scratch the areas into the blood that lead to fresh infections, which would then in turn each and lead to more scratching organs, doctors hopes that systemic steroids therapy would interrupt this vicious circle that one does body health light. his skin didn't prove somewhat on the sink of guessing. he started eating and drinking a bit. but he still had flare ups when it became worse again and, and the cortisone cause side effects to the mass. he developed what's called cushing syndrome and stick to uploaded around to moon face, which can happen until can position less to can of them call me this is ok, sorry much for such a little one to deal with. i always said, i wish i could have it instead of him, but of course i couldn't keep in mind that the allergy center team had to reconsider that couldn't be enough. that's
8:45 am
a lot. we thought about other kinds of interdisciplinary approaches. were there other possibilities? a team and then the team discussed the biologic treatment as a possible alternative. i to not keep the same biologics or a new class of drugs that target specific aspects of the immune system loop and gets an injection of one of these drugs every 4 weeks. it's not fun for anyone, but the benefit is huge. almost like it's talking about the full. we started this therapy, reuben, and spend a good part of his young life in the hospital class and also off touch bases. i never said since dante has no, he hasn't been in the hospital. that's all. i can say. she just got to nicole most of this and then this kid, it's like, she's a totally different child and all the side effect to the cortisone, which took months to get under control are now gone back office, but it was so good to see him starting to eat again to enjoy food and to grow into this mix. reuben's height and weight,
8:46 am
or no normal for his age is slipped from westside lucky that he's such a cheerful kid. last year when we had alpha spring wake hospital stay, he went through a lot of all the other stuff that he typed really well and he was always an issue for them are fixed. he made all the nurses and all the stuff. happy. got them laughing fucking to smell things would have been harder on may if you weren't such as cheerful, happy go lucky kid. yeah, no. anyone who has an allergy knows they should have void. the trick is full though that's often easier said than done. and a lot of people suffer from a whole range of allergies. such and medications can provide welcom printing and one form of treatments can get rid of an allergy and timing the these days. relief for allergies. symptoms
8:47 am
can be quick and easy on the custom ins help to reduce the severity of the reaction . although they are not to cure for the i to allergy. allergy symptoms are caused mainly by a messenger substance called histamine. antihistamines, service inverse, i guess. they bind to the receptors in the block, the effect of the histamine slowing down the allergic response. antihistamines come in different forms, kills work throughout the body. whereas nasal spray is an eye drops target. the symptoms locally. one of the chief side effects of hunting has to means is drowsiness. so with the main symptom is just the runny nose. it's best to stick to a cart is own spray, which reduces inflammation in the nasal passage ways. but, well,
8:48 am
anti allergy medications help relieve symptoms, they don't treat causes often, symptoms worse than over time. that's why i expect to recommend starting the middle set of fi, also known as hypo desensitization therapy as early as possible. this is the only way an allergy can be cured. the idea is to slowly a custom immune system to the allergy and the trigger. the patient gets regular small doses of allergens, usually as an injection. at 1st, shots are weekly, then monthly, and gradually increasing doses that teaches the immune system that the allergens isn't a threat to the gradually it produces fewer anti bodies. it's especially effective for allergies to grass tree, poland, and 2nd venom and dust mites. but it takes 3 to 5 years and about half of patients give up before it's finished. for the treatment only works if you stick with it to the very end. so people have to be patient and make frequent visits to the doctor,
8:49 am
which is why relatively few allergies suffers, are willing to do it. but these days the new therapy does become much more straightforward and even be done in the comfort of your own home. that's because patients no longer need allergy shots, and sub lingual immunotherapy, they receive special drops or a tablet, which they simply put under their tongue. every morning, the desensitization is a useful and effective treatment even for mild allergies. it's also a way of preventing secondary conditions. for example, someone with a fever react badly to poland, dust months or mold. they sneeze the loss and how they're runny nose. often
8:50 am
months or years, this kind of adage, it can spread from the up to, to the level of respiratory tract, meaning from the nose to the longest. the patients can then develop allergic asthma, the chronic inflammation of the brumfield tubes. and that can put a permanent strain on the heart and lungs running out to the pool without getting out of breath for a long time. then i couldn't even play with his children. he just couldn't get enough at. i had a nice on colors last month. the typical asthma attack where you turn blue or anything like that, i just always felt that my breathing was under pressure because it's something were on top of my lungs. if i had to use a lot of energy to take a breath, i'm not real simplistic typical today, it took them a can exercise again and he's thrilled. he has serious allergic asthma,
8:51 am
which got worse over the years. even though he kept taking more more qualities of coughing, shortness of breath, i'm or spirit tree distress. for a long time, his doctor is focused on treating the asthma symptoms to prevent them from getting even worse or life threatening. but that approach is outdated, says novice low, much pulmonologist who specializes in asthma down to pick up the highest us within the amount of treatment approaches. giving patients medicine that prevents the symptoms entirely as high as they have to take the medicine all the time in as low a dose as possible because it was the mostly but they don't have symptoms. they don't have to go to the hospital. they can live completely normal lives and so didn't know modest names. dep perma takes biologics, biotechnology keep produced on 2 bodies. the therapies working very well,
8:52 am
and the only has to go for check ups twice, the yeah. the nitrogen monoxide content and his breath shows where the his airways have inflamed his readings are now in the upper and normal range. vision is this is cause i've been calling all that's a really good outcome stuff i can clinically speaking and in terms of how good he feels and he doesn't need cortisone anymore. we thoughts, potential side effects concerning the firm as long function is somewhat compromised by his chronic asthma, but he feels healthy and his lung function results all stable. it's a big change from the time before he started biologics. he needed increasingly high doses of cortisone in spray or tablet home, but he still felt and well, almost every day. this thing that took me to explain, you mean they were all the side effects. i didn't feel good. my hands shook and i felt just to be from the high doses of cortisone poly excel is monitored. so in
8:53 am
spite of that, i still didn't feel any better. it puts inputs in his best. so today doctors note that long term therapy with cortisone pills often does more harm than good a cortico steroid inhalers are still part of mainstream therapy and helps suppress information in the air ways quite effectively. along with biologics, if need be, that way every patient gets their own treatment plan for just ogden disease ogden. uh huh. nowadays we have to say this person is this or that kind of asthma. they have allergies, so they don't, they have this biomarker and their entire history since they've been in hospital. so in so many times what and their mother had it to still be kinda that their history, their children, or did you have to consider all those factors together and come up with a taylor mates therapy for that patient. and then therapy will be very effective, happy just to tie with the book. sounds good. the is happy with the
8:54 am
new approach to injections and months which he can give to himself these days. he feels a lot better for me. was trying to find fun. i can play football, right? a bicycle, so then go jogging, just like regular people this in. i used to think of course i might not be able to exact myself quite as much as other people by comparison because i feel i'm doing great. so, but it's all good. now, on this good time. now for a new chip from of alia. he's here to guide you through another exercise this time . please sheldon the hi and welcome. do you fear sometimes, hands in your shoulders or sort in your neck. i give you a perfect exercise to open up your chest and do have more flexibility in your shoulders. let's go for the exercise of
