How Probiotics Affect Allergen Disease

Introduction Treatment of allergic diseases represents a vast source of global healthcare costs. Allergies affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide with the number of cases continuing to increase at an alarming rate. The study of allergies and how genes and environmental factors affect them are ongoing. Currently, allergen immunotherapy is one of the few viable forms of treatment recognized. However, an alternative method of therapy utilizing microbes may be on the horizon. Microbiota Hypothesis

ECZEMA AND PROBIOTICS Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic allergic disorder that mainly involves the skin (Sears 89). As reported in, The Allergy Book, “of all the allergic disorders…eczema is the most troublesome to treat” (89). In addition, eczema care is much more than skin deep; the whole body must be healthy to minimize eczema (Sears 98). Our immune system’s response to allergens is what causes millions of us to suffer from allergic disorders (Sears 3). In addition, epidemiologic

diagnosed food allergy. (CDC, 2010). There are an estimated 90,000 emergency room visits connected to food allergies and adults with food allergies have a 65% chance of passing it genetically to their child. (CDC, 2010). According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study there was a 50% increase in food allergies among children between 1997 and 2011. (CDC 2013). In order to understand this issue we have to start by defining what food allergy is. An allergic reaction occurs when the body

Tampering with the genetics of any species, particularly one that we consume into our bodies has unknown effects that have not been completely research enough. We do not know how genetically modifying the foods we eat will affect our own inner bodies and genes. Big research and food companies, such as Monsanto, have put their own bottom-line, or greed, above our health and we are unwittingly being

that are consumed on a daily basis by most consumers are all considered processed, such as white flour, margarine, refined sugars. All of these components are pretreated chemically and its ill effects cause neurotoxins to respond as triggers causing diseases. The US-FDA allows those manufacturers to use that pre manufacturing for production. In today's busy society it is easy to cave in for the modernization to render the vast choices of processed foods may be convenient way to survive; however they

Inflammatory bowel disease is a disease that can afflict both dogs and cats. However, because of the linkage between inflammatory bowel disease and hairballs in cats, the focus will be on feline inflammatory bowel disease, especially considering the previously accepted belief that hairballs are normal for cats. While there are multiple modes of managing this disease, the nutritional management will be the main point of discussion. Inflammatory bowel disease is actually not an uncommon disease. In Dr. Norsworthy’s

Over the last two decades, there has been a significant increase in food products containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs). GMOs are substances which have had their genetic material altered through unnatural processes. Since the advent of the first GMO in 1973, the modification of plants and animals through the introduction of a new trait or the alteration of a gene has significantly increased (Aleksejeva 5). With increasing genetic modifications of plants and animals for food products and

product developments are to be worked on, while deciding on the time frame and order of each project that is to be worked on. Product development ideas stem from sources such as consumers and marketing. The degree of competition from other company’s affects the product planning. In order to grasp the basic concept of product platform planning, one has to understand that the platform is a sum of assets shared by a range of products. For example Blue Ribbon produces bread with the basic shared requirement

showed that one out of nine children (2-14 years) was obese and it was 11 per cent of the total children population1. Obese children are more prone to have cardiovascular disease, psychological morbidity, asthma, Type 1 diabetes, and early mortality2 sooner or later in their life. Adverse effects of childhood obesity not only affect the current or later health status of children but also the country’s productivity and economy. Therefore it is very important to break the obesity viscous cycle in order
