The problem lies with the allergic reaction they receive when using these products. I have one client who cannot use any form of makeup or she ends up in the Emergency Room. She looks good without makeup anyway. (more…)

The T-bet (T-box 21) gene (TBX21) encodes a transcription factor, T-box expressed in T cells, which has been implicated in asthma through its role in Th1 cell induction. Subjects in the Caucasian subset of the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) were genotyped for a non-synonymous TBX21 SNP, H33Q. Comparisons between the wild-type and heterozygous H33Q alleles were performed by luciferase activity assay and by studying the ability to control cytokine function in cell culture. The effect of corticosteroids on T-bet expression was determined in human peripheral blood CD4-positive cells. (more…)

The Misery Of Allergies
As a young boy I was one of the kids who had to stay indoors to avoid the misery that came with sneezing, sniffling and asthma which came from pollen, grass and leaves. Weekly shots at the allergist and medications were a weekly routine. And even though I was only age 11 (1969) I began to experiment with air purifiers and air cleaners of all kinds. When you can’t breathe you’ll do anything for relief. (more…)

Let’s start out with the basics. Mold is an organism that is everywhere. There is no place there is no mold unless it is a “Clean Room.” According to Wikipedia: the definition of a Clean Room is an environment, typically used in manufacturing or scientific research, that has a low level of environmental pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles and chemical vapors. More accurately, a clean room has a controlled level of contamination that is specified by the number of particles per cubic meter at a specified particle size. (more…)
