Deine Haut ist ein Donut – wusstest du das? Wie ein Donut geht deine Haut von äußerer Haut über in die innere Haut. Und die innere Haut nennt man Schleimhaut. Und es wird ja mal sowas von Zeit, dass wir uns bei Zauberhaut mal die innere Haut anschauen. Und wow, gibt es viele Schleimhäute in unserem Körper: Nasenschleimhaut, Mundschleimhaut, Magenschleimhaut, Harnblasenschleimhaut und viele mehr. Alle Schleimhäute zusammen haben eine Gesamtoberfläche von 600 Quadratmeter – das sind mehr als zwei Tennisfelder zusammen. Sie heißen Schleimhäute, weil sie Schleim produzieren, der dazu dient, die Oberflächen zu befeuchten und zu schützen. Vor Fremdkörpern, Krankheitserregern oder Reibung durch unsere Bewegung. Einige Schleimhäute nehmen aber auch Nährstoffe auf oder übertragen Sinnenreize. Jede Schleimhaut hat spezifische Funktionen – und auch Bedeutungen. Ich konzentriere mich in der Folge auf die Augenbindehaut und Konjunktivitis, die Mundschleimhaut und Entzündung dessen (Gingivitis) und die Nasenschleimhaut und Rhinitis. In dieser Folge spreche ich unter anderem darüber: – Wichtigste Schleimhäute und dessen Funktionen – Schleimhäute gesund halten – Spirituelle Bedeutung von Schleimhäuten generell – Emotionale Bedeutung von Augen,- Mund,- u.

Die andauernde Entzündung der Schleimhäute von Nasen und Nasennebenhöhlen ist eine der häufigsten chronischen Entzündungen überhaupt. Dennoch wird weiterhin eifrig nach den Ursachen und Auslösern gesucht und das Repertoire an Therapien weiterentwickelt. So geht es in diesem Expertenpodcast auch um die Frage, was von den neuen Biologika zu halten ist. Als Experten zu Gast sind die HNO-Ärzte Frau Prof. Dr. Julia Eckl-Dorna und Herr Priv--Doz. Dr. Sven Schneider (beide MedUni Wien). Die Fragen stellt Martin Burger

In this episode of BackTable ENT, Dr. Shah interviews rhinologist Dr. Jeffrey Suh (UCLA) about cryotherapy as a new treatment for chronic rhinitis. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Stryker ENT https://ent.stryker.com --- SHOW NOTES First, the doctors discuss the typical presentation of a patient with rhinitis. Although all rhinitis patients present with a chief complaint of a runny nose, there are different subtypes of rhinitis, such as allergic rhinitis, gustatory rhinitis, and exercise-induced. Environmental exposures, duration of symptoms, and the presence of other symptoms should be elicited, as differentiating between allergic and non-allergic rhinitis changes treatment options. Next, Dr. Suh explains how he performs a physical exam in rhinitis patients. He uses a rigid endoscope to make sure there is not another cause of rhinitis. He is sure to premedicate patients with a lidocaine and Afrin nasal spray before using the endoscope. CT scans of the sinuses may be helpful if patients have drainage, polyps, or notable inflammation. In general, Dr. Suh will pursue medical treatment options before considering procedural options. For allergic rhinitis patients, he educates patients about understanding their triggers for allergies and prescribes nasal steroid sprays and antihistamines. In non-allergic rhinitis patients, he recommends ipratropium bromide, which can also be used as a trial to see if cryotherapy would resolve their symptoms. He notes that sprays need to be used for at least 1 month before they show effects and that they should be used 30 minutes before trigger exposure for allergic rhinitis patients. He does not think that saline rinses help much with rhinitis, as they contain no medications to reduce swelling and dampen nerve stimulation. Next, Dr. Suh explains two procedural options for chronic rhinitis: radioablation therapy and cryotherapy. Both procedures have similar success rates, but he prefers to use cryotherapy in patients with non-allergic rhinitis who have a positive response to ipratropium bromide. The procedure involves inserting balloon a into the middle meatus of the nasal cavity and in order to deliver liquid nitrogen to the nasal mucosa overlying the posterior nasal nerve. He explains different considerations for performing cryotherapy in the office versus in the OR. He also explains his anesthesia protocol and how to mitigate the common post-operative complaint of an “ice cream headache”, which he prophylactically treats with gabapentin. Radiofrequency ablation with the RhinAer procedure also targets the posterior nasal nerve, but it has other complications, like damaging other nerves that allow for the tearing of eyes. He chooses the cryotherapy option more often because it does not require as good visibility as the radiofrequency ablation therapy does. Finally, he explains his postoperative care regimen which includes starting the patient back on their usual nasal sprays. His patients take 2 weeks to see results, and cryotherapy is effective in 80% of his patients. He notes that patients with recurrent rhinitis may need recurrent treatments. --- RESOURCES Stryker ENT https://www.stryker.com/us/en/portfolios/medical-surgical-equipment/ent.html Stryker ClariFix Cryotherapy https://clarifix.com/ RhinAer Radiofrequency Ablation https://rhinaer.com/

In this episode, Dr. Stan McClurg, a private practice rhinologist at Ascentist Healthcare in Kansas City, shares his approach to diagnosis and treatment of chronic rhinitis patients using the in-office RhinAer procedure. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Aerin Medical https://aerinmedical.com/ --- SHOW NOTES First, Dr. McClurg talks us through his patient base. When he initially started as a rhinologist, he would get referrals for patients with persistent rhinitis after a procedure. Before in-office procedures for chronic rhinitis were developed, he recommended ipratropium bromide spray to patients and referred them for allergy testing. However, his recent patient referrals have been for isolated chronic rhinitis (defined by consistent rhinorrhea for more than 4 weeks) with no other ENT problems. With these patients, he performs allergy skin testing to make sure the diagnosis is not really allergic rhinitis that can be treated with desensitization therapy. He also uses a rigid nasal endoscope to check the patient's nose for colored purulence and polyps, two clues that can point to a diagnosis other than chronic rhinitis. When he scopes his patient, he does not use a decongestant spray and uses a small endoscope to avoid patient discomfort. If he believes that a patient has chronic rhinitis, he will perform a ipratropium bromide challenge; he asks patients to use the spray for 1 month. If their symptoms are mitigated by the spray, then he is more optimistic that an in-office procedure will mitigate the chronic rhinitis. If the patient fails the trial, the secretions are probably coming from a source other than the nose, and the diagnosis is unlikely to be chronic rhinitis. Next, Dr. McClurg speaks about different in-office treatments for chronic rhinitis. He first explains his experience with ClariFix, a procedure that uses cryoablation to freeze the posterior nasal nerve. He has found that 40% of his patients experience the known side effect of post-treatment headache. Additionally, some of them may have crusting in the sphenopalatine region that causes post-nasal drip. Since then, he has switched to using the RhinAer system, which delivers radioablation through a stylus to treat the posterior nasal nerve more aggressively. It also has the capability of treating the inferior turbinate. Dr. McClurg notes that patients with normal nasal anatomy and a good ipratropium bromide response are the best candidates for this procedure. 80% of his patients see a favorable result after surgery. He then describes his RhinAer in-office procedure. He does these procedures in exam rooms in order to help with flow of his day and make his patients more comfortable. He only uses lidocaine to anesthetize the patient, as he has found that epinephrine causes tachycardia and anxiety. The procedure, including anesthesia time, takes him about 10 minutes. However, he adds that he has performed this procedure in the OR as an adjunct procedure after a septoplasty or a rhinoplasty. Finally, he describes his recommendations for postoperative care. He encourages his patients to do daily saline rinses. He notes it takes about 6-8 weeks for the RhinAer procedure to show a good response. During this time, he recommends that patients use ipratropium bromide concurrently in order to obtain an optimal response.

In der Erkältungszeit ist die Nase oft „zu“. Aber was ist noch eine normale Erkältung und wann habe ich vielleicht schon eine Nasennebenhöhlenentzündung? Doc Esser und Anne sprechen in dieser Folge des Gesundheitspodcasts über verstopfte Nasen und was dagegen helfen kann. Von Anne Schneider ;Heinz-Wilhelm Esser.

Allergic reactions are about the body coming into contact with concentrated substances, sometimes made by man, and others made by nature.  Our body's are either not healthy enough to respond in proportion to the allergen, or we have been compromised by being exposed to substances not related and reacting to the combination as if they were the one problematic substance - as seen in pesticides absorbed by such legumes as peanuts and then made into peanut butter which is then perceived as an allergen either due to its concentrated peanuts or the pesticide that was absorbed from the soil by the peanuts as they grew.  Rhinitis is hayfever caused by seasonal allergens and can be cured using homeopathic remedies made by the same substances causing the allergy. There are also families of plants with poisons that they share in different varieties of the same family of plants - these will cause irritation in the individual and may point to their constitutional.  It is important to remember that hives, rashes, eczema, vomiting, diarrhea, liquid coming out of any part of our body are all attempts to eliminate something that has caused us to react to it as an allergen.  We should see these as elimination organs and not as diseases.  The disease is when we are not able to eliminate the substance causing the allergic reaction in a way that keeps us healthier and alive. The side effect of a good constitutional homeopathic remedy is that allergies disappear as we become better players at life.

 Updated September 2021 1 Presumptive Disability Benefits Whatis “Presumptive”Service Connection? VA presumesthat certain disabilities were caused bymilitary service. Thisis because of the unique circumstances of a specific Veteran's military service. If a presumed condition is diagnosed in a Veteran within a certain group, they can be awarded disability compensation. What are “Presumptive” Conditions? If you are diagnosed with a chronic disease within one year of active duty release, you should apply for disability compensation. Examples of chronic disease include: arthritis, diabetes or hypertension. Or, if you served continuously for atleast 90 days and are diagnosedwith amyotrophic lateralsclerosis (ALS) after discharge, you can establish service connection for the disease. Veteransin the following groups may qualify for “presumptive” disability benefits: • Former prisoners of war who: • Have a condition thatis atleast 10 percent disabling • Depending on length of imprisonment, specific conditions are presumed  Imprisoned for any length of time: • Psychosis • Any of the anxiety states • Dysthymic disorder(or depressive neurosis) • Organic residuals of frostbite • Post- traumatic osteoarthritis • Heart disease or hypertensive vascular disease • Stroke and the residual effects • Osteoporosis, when the Veteran has posttraumatic stress disorder Updated September 2021 2  Imprisoned for at least 30 days: • Beriberi (including beriberi heart disease) • Chronic dysentery • Helminthiasis • Malnutrition (including optic atrophy) • Pellagra • Other nutritional deficiencies • Irritable bowel syndrome • Peptic ulcer disease • Peripheral neuropathy • Cirrhosis of the liver • Avitaminosis • Osteoporosis • Vietnam Veterans who were: • Exposed to AgentOrange • Served in the Republic of Vietnamor on a vessel operating not more than 12 nauticalmiles seaward from the demarcation line of the waters of Vietnam and Cambodia between Jan. 9, 1962 andMay 7, 1975 • Specific presumed conditions are: • AL amyloidosis • B-cell leukemia • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia • Multiple myeloma • Type 2 diabetes • Hodgkin's disease • Ischemic heart disease (including but notlimited to, coronary artery disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease) • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma • Parkinson's disease • Parkinsonism • Prostate cancer • Respiratory cancers • Soft-tissue sarcoma (not including osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Kaposi'ssarcoma or mesothelioma) • Bladder cancer • Hypothyroidism Updated September 2021 3  The following conditions, if they become greater than 10 percent debilitating within a year of exposure to an herbicide agent: • Acute and subacute peripheral neuropathy • Chloracne or other similar acneform disease • Porphyria cutanea tarda • Atomic Veterans exposed to ionizing radiationand who experienced one of the following: • Participated in atmospheric nuclear testing • Occupied or were prisoners of warinHiroshima orNagasaki • Served before Feb. 1, 1992, at a diffusion plantin Paducah, Kentucky, Portsmouth, Ohio orOak Ridge, Tennessee • Served before Jan. 1, 1974, at Amchitka Island, Alaska Specific presumed conditions are:  All forms of leukemia, except chronic lymphocytic leukemia  Cancer of the thyroid, breast, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, pancreas, bile ducts, gall bladder, salivary gland, urinary tract, brain, bone, lung, colon or ovary  Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma  Multiple myeloma  Lymphomas, other than Hodgkin's disease  Primary liver cancer, except if there are indications of cirrhosis or hepatitis B • Gulf War Veterans who: • Served in the Southwest Asia Theater of Operations • Have a condition that is at least 10 percent disabling by Dec. 31, 2026 • Specific presumed conditions are:  Medically unexplained chronic multi-symptom illnesses that exist for six months or more, such as: • Chronic fatigue syndrome • Fibromyalgia • Irritable bowel syndrome  Any diagnosed or undiagnosed illness that warrants a presumption of service connection, as determined by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs Updated September 2021 4 • Signs or symptoms of an undiagnosed illness include: • Fatigue • Skin symptoms • Headaches • Muscle pain • Joint pain • Neurological or neuropsychologicalsymptoms • Symptoms involving the upper or lower respiratory system • Sleep disturbance • Gastrointestinalsymptoms • Cardiovascular symptoms • Weight loss • Menstrual disorders • Gulf WarVeterans who: • Served in the Southwest Asia Theater of Operations orinAfghanistan on or after September 19, 2001  Manifest one of the following infectious diseasesto a degree of 10 percent ormore within 1 year of separation: • Brucellosis • Campylobacterjejuni • Coxiella burnetii (Q fever) • Nontyphoid Salmonella • Shigella • West Nile virus • Malaria (or when accepted treatisesindicate the incubation period began during a qualifying period of service)  Manifestto a degree of 10 percent ormore at any time after separation: • Mycobacteriumtuberculosis • Visceral leishmaniasis • Gulf War Deployed Veterans who: • Served any length of time in the Southwest Theater of Operations during the Persian Gulf War, or • Served any length of time in Afghanistan, Syria, Djibouti or Uzbekistan on or after September 19, 2001 and • Manifests one of the following to any degree within 10 years from the date of separation from military service: o Asthma o Rhinitis o Sinusitis, to include rhinosinusitis 

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Andrea: I had a question for you based on the health plan you provided me back on 4/7. after completing my metals test. Before I could follow-out this plan of detoxes/metals detox, I had lots of abnormal symptoms begin so I had to see my functional medicine doctor. She performed multiple additional tests and long story short, I was recently diagnosed with SIBO, colon bacteria overgrowth, +e-coli, low sIgA, chronic UTIs, and inflammation/elevated CRP. So in addition to the supplements I normally take, I am now also taking the supplements/herbs (attached) for 3 months. Then the plan would be to complete a general detox and metals detox. The problem is we are trying to get pregnant as soon as we are able to (after this 3 month SIBO treatment plan). So in order to also complete a detox and metals detox, I was curious if I'd be able to complete Dr Calbral's general and metals detox while I am taking the attached supplements? Or must I wait til I'm done with these before starting the detoxes? I noticed the metals detox is 6 weeks and wasn't sure if there is a shorter version of this too? Thanks! Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral! What can you share about vasomotor rhinitis? My allergy doctor believes I have it as my normal allergy symptoms have gotten so much better after many protocols, but I still suffer from one odd symptom - the feeling that my nostrils are inflamed and small, making it hard to get air in through my nose. I frequently end up taking sharp sniffs to get enough air through my nose. There are no other symptoms of this aside from occasional throat (and then chest) pain from being so tense trying to get air in. What can I do to overcome this naturally? Thanks for all you do! Jessi: Hi. Thank you for all that you do, Im new to the podcast, I had one issue (im not 100% sure you answered already i tried to look it up on past podcast, but wasn't able to find anything. My question is of 2 1.) I think every night or a lot of nights I wake up with a tight jaw, I once woke up at 3am and i noticed I had my jaw Clenched, not sure why or if its even a health issue, or mental. 2.) Ever since i can remember I've always only had one nostril working. some times it switches, mostly is my right nostril that gets stuffed or can't breath through it. If you can shed some light on this id appreciate it. Maggie: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am a huge fan of your podcasts and try to follow your advice as much as I can. I have struggled with chronic pelvic pain and inflammation in my lower abdomen for about 9 years. I have had ultrasounds, a CT scan, a cystoscopy, physical therapy, botox injections, antidepressants, was put back on birth control in case it was endometriosis, you name it, I have done it. The pain/inflammation started while I was on a course of metronidazole. Ever since then, I have had recurring yeast infections, white coating on the tongue, depression/anxiety worsened, brain fog and just overall feeling more fatigued and feeling like my immune system isn't as strong as it was pre-pain. After listening to your podcasts I thought it made sense that candida would be the culprit so I am currently on week 5 of the CBO protocol. I have noticed a change in my brain fog, yeast infections, and overall mood, but have had no changes to the constant dull ache and inflammation in my lower abdomen. Do you think that this could possibly be caused by something else? The pain is worse if I worked out recently or tends to be worse at night. I stopped smoking weed as that would make the pain worse, maybe from the change in blood pressure, not sure? Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you so much! James: Hi Doctor Cabral I been diocese diverticulitis and had acute attacked many times over the past 15 years. I have been told to get the operation. I take antibiotics when this happens and know that is also not good for me. However it now is two years since my last attack. I am 65 years old and concerned I may need the operation in later years. How can I prevent it from happening and can I cure it with diet ? I take your supplements especially probiotics. What would you recommend? Trying to avoid an operation and trying to cure it. Alex: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am so thankful for all of the content and energy that you have pushed out for everyone. My question is on shilajit. When you take shilajit, does it break a fast. Thanks again.

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways The immune system has three main systems of protection: physical barriers (e.g., skin, eyes), innate immune system (e.g., white blood cells, killer cells), adaptive immune system (e.g., creation of antibodies)Sickness-related behaviors look a lot like depressive symptoms leading to a theory that depression involves activation of inflammatory cytokinesStimulation of the dopamine pathway can accelerate healing and liberate systems in the body which allow inflammatory pathways to go down and anti-inflammatory pathways to go upWim Hof breathing is a zero-cost tool shown to enhance the immune system by releasing adrenaline and reducing the effects of illness symptomsWim Hof breathing steps:(1) 20-30 deep inhales and exhales through nose; (2) exhale of all air to empty lungs; (3) hold breath for up to 60 seconds; (4) repeat 2-4 roundsMaintaining a healthy microbiome (gut, eyes, mucus) supports good health: nasal breathe as often as possible, don't touch eyes after touching other things, ingest fermented foods to enhance gut microbiotaRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgThis episode teaches you a lot about the immune system, immune-brain interactions and offers 12 potential tools for enhancing immune system function. I discuss how our immune system works and science-supported tools we can use to enhance our immune system. I discuss the innate and adaptive immune systems and our various microbiomes-- not just in our gut but also in our nose, eyes and mouth and how to keep them healthy. And I review how specific patterns of breathing and foods maintain a healthy mucosal barrier that is crucial for fighting infections. I discuss how certain neurochemicals called catecholamines enhance our immune system function and how to use specific breathing protocols, types and timing of heat and cold exposure, and, if appropriate, supplementation to activate catecholamines. I also discuss the role and use of serotonin for the sake of accessing the specific types of sleep for recovering from illness, and I discuss how to increase glymphatic "washout" of brain debris during sleep. I also review fever, the vagus nerve and the use of atypical yet highly effective compounds for rhinitis (nasal inflammation).

Die spezifische Immuntherapie ist eine sichere und effektive Methode zur Behandlung von allergischer Rhinitis und allergischem Asthma. Um einen maximalen Therapieerfolg zu erzielen, wird eine Behandlungsdauer von drei Jahren empfohlen. Die Compliance der PatientInnen ist insbesondere aufgrund der Therapiedauer ein entscheidender Einflussfaktor. Non-Compliance ist nicht nur in Deutschland – auch weltweit - ein großes Problem. In den Industrieländern verhalten sich durchschnittlich nur 50% der PatientInnen mit chronischen Erkrankungen therapietreu. Bei der spezifischen Immuntherapie sind es sogar nur 30%, die die Therapie nach drei Jahren beenden. Ein Anlass also, um uns heute mit dem wichtigen Thema Compliance zu beschäftigen. Das sind unsere Themen: - Compliance in der Praxis - Gründe für Non-Compliance - Therapietreue in der subkutanen und sublingualen Therapie - Tools und Prozesse zur Compliance Unterstützung

In today's video, I'm going to reveal and explain the three (3) *NEW* Burn Pit Exposure Presumptive Conditions (Asthma, Sinusitis, Rhinitis or Rhinosinusitis) that were just announced this week by the VA. I'll also discuss the Burn Pit VA Disability Rating for 2021-2022. Effective August 5, 2021, Veterans who served in the Southwest Asia Theater of Operations and are Gulf War Veterans, or served in other regions and developed Asthma, Sinusitis, Rhinitis (or Rhinosinusitis, which is inflammation of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses) within 10 years from your separation from active duty service, these respiratory conditions will now be “presumed” to be service-connected. This new rule opens doors for many veterans who have been unable to service-connect these respiratory conditions until now!

The VA found sufficient evidence to conclude that particulate matter pollution is associated with chronic Asthma, Sinusitis, Rhinitis, and Rhinosinusitis for veterans who served in the Southwest Asia Theater of Operations from Aug. 2, 1990 to the present, or in Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Syria or Djibouti from Sept. 19, 2001 to the present. “The Southwest Asia Theater of Operations” includes Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the neutral zone between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, the Gulf of Aden, the Gulf of Oman, the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea and the airspace above these locations. To establish presumptive service connection for Asthma, Sinusitis, and/or Rhinitis (to include Rhinosinusitis) under 38 CFR 3.320 for these Burn Pit Exposure Presumptive Conditions, your evidence of record must show qualifying service at one of the specified duty locations, and manifestation of the qualifying diagnosed chronic disability(ies) within the presumptive period (within 10 years of discharge from active duty service during the dates given above).

Today I'd like to help a special listener, Stephanie, with a topic she wrote to me about asking if I have ever explored any connection between Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism, and sinus issues? I will say, in today's current climate with Covid and upcoming flu season, any kind of sinus issues can be especially alarming. Today, I will talk about 5 links I found and what you can do to investigate.

Die allergische saisonale Rhinitis, welche auch als Heuschnupfen bezeichnet wird, ist eine allergisch bedingte Entzündung der Nasenschleimhaut. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Allergie des Typ 1, die schlimmstenfalls zu einem allergischen Schock führen kann. Die Symptome umfassen juckende Augen, eine Verengung der Atemwege, geschwollene Nasenschleimhaut und Fließschnupfen. Die Erkrankung beginnt oftmals bereits im frühen Kindesalter und begleitet die Betroffenen jahrzehntelang. Laut Statistiken ist das männliche Geschlecht häufiger von einer allergischen Rhinitis betroffen als das weibliche Geschlecht.

Lead author Mark S. Dykewicz, MD, FAAAAI, walks us through all the details surrounding the recently updated rhinitis parameters. This CME episode is a master class in the diagnosis and treatment of this common condition. Helpful for all medical professionals and patients as well.

On today's episode, we are going to be talking about how to help seniors with allergies. We will start off with what allergies are and what causes them. Since seniors with allergies are also prone to hay fever, we will also cover what hay fever is, how to prevent it, and what to do if your loved one is experiencing it. We will also be talking about how to help your loved ones suffering from allergies, and we'll be discussing ways to spot when your loved one may be experiencing allergy symptoms, how to prevent their symptoms, and other ways to help them through allergy season.   Now let's get started.   Allergies affect more than 50 million Americans each year and are especially a nuisance for seniors. Seasonal allergies usually develop early, but they can develop later in life. According to Dr. Christopher Randolph of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, allergies have a larger impact on the lives and health of the elderly. If you notice allergy symptoms in your loved one, let their doctor know. It can be hard for their doctor to diagnose allergies during a short visit, especially when they are monitoring other serious health issues or attempting to diagnose any new complications that you or your loved one presents them with.   You should also talk to their doctor before giving them over-the-counter allergy medicine. First-generation antihistamines, like Benadryl or the now discontinued Chlor-Trimeton, can have some pretty serious and even dangerous side effects. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology lists anxiety, confusion, sedation, drowsiness, urine retention, dry mouth and eyes, and dizziness as some of the potential side-effects.   Many of these side-effects can end up causing your loved one to fall and injure themselves or develop a painful urinary tract infection. Not only do these side effects have the potential to cause an injury to your loved one, but they make everyday life harder and more uncomfortable than it should be for older adults.   If your loved one chooses to take over-the-counter allergy medicine, you should speak to their doctor or pharmacist about second or third-generation antihistamines, like Zyrtec, Claritin, or Allegra. These options are still antihistamines and can still cause your loved one to experience many of the side effects that first-generation antihistamines cause, but they are less likely to do so.   It is also important to inform your loved one's doctor of any medications you give them, as they can potentially cause changes in mood or behavior in the elderly and may lead to dangerous interactions with other commonly prescribed medications. Keeping their doctor up to date on any medications your loved one is taking, including both prescription and over the counter, is an important task to remember.   Your loved one may be suffering from a stuffy nose, and you might just assume that it is just allergies or a slight cold, but there are a number of medications that offer this side-effect in the right conditions and their doctor won't be able to tell if their prescribed medications are being interfered with if they are not up to date on what your loved one is currently taking.   For seniors that have been dealing with seasonal allergies their whole lives, you most likely won't have to come up with a new treatment plan. They, like many Americans, probably have found a routine that works best for them, which might include a favorite antihistamine or nasal steroid. You may have to adjust their allergy treatment plan, though. What once worked for them may no longer be enough to combat their symptoms.   If they take antihistamines daily, but their usual choice of medicine isn't working, try switching brands and see if that helps. There are several second and third-generation antihistamines that can be found at your local pharmacy or grocery store. You can ask a pharmacist for help if you are unsure of which medicine you should try.   If your loved one has Alzheimer's or Dementia, they may not be able to let you know they are experiencing allergy symptoms or tell you what works best for them. You will have to be on the lookout for symptoms during peak allergy season. Do you already know they get seasonal allergies? You may be able to start giving them their allergy medicine if you notice the pollen count rising in your area. You can always talk to their doctor if you are unsure what to do in this situation.   If you are interested in learning more about Alzheimer's or Dementia, check out some of the episodes we've done covering these topics or visit our website for more information. You can also view our playlist on Alzheimer's and Dementia on our YouTube channel.   For those that have developed seasonal allergies later in life, those that are finding themselves needing a new way to manage their allergies, or those that want to manage their allergy symptoms without taking a daily antihistamine or other medication, there are a few ways to manage allergy symptoms without the use of medications.   Now, none of these will completely make your allergies disappear, but they may help alleviate some of the symptoms. And, paired with a daily antihistamine or other medication, can help your loved one feel more like themselves during peak allergy season.   First, you will want to make sure that your loved one has a high-efficiency particulate air, or HEPA, filter for their air conditioner and make sure it is routinely serviced. A HEPA filter removes allergens from the air and helps prevent them from circulating around the house. You should also refrain from leaving the windows or doors open when the pollen count is high. Check your local weather report to see what the pollen count is and try to limit outdoor exposure when it is too high. If you need to be outdoors, wear sunglasses to help prevent eye irritation and sun damage and wash your hands when you come back inside.   If possible, change clothes and take a shower, as well so you can limit the number of allergens in the home. Keeping a normal cleaning schedule that includes dusting and vacuuming the home can also help remove allergens inside. Having a clean space can also help improve your loved one's overall mood and if their allergies are making it difficult to enjoy time outside, having a clean house is one less thing they will have to worry about.   Eating foods that help lower inflammation, like apples, flaxseed, ginger, leafy greens, walnuts, and anything high in Vitamin C, may help decrease some of the symptoms your loved one might be experiencing, as well. Allergens cause irritation and inflammation in the body and foods that reduce inflammation, like those we just listed, may help your loved one manage their allergy symptoms. You should also dry their clothes, and your own, in a dryer and not hung up outside to prevent allergens attaching to the clothes before they are brought back inside.   For most Americans, allergies are a nuisance, but for seniors, they can present a real danger. Seniors with other health issues, like COPD or high blood pressure, can be severely affected during allergy season. The most common allergy symptoms, runny nose, itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, chest congestion, and difficulty breathing, can cause other reactions in seniors with respiratory illnesses or diseases.   If your loved one uses an inhaler to help manage their allergies, make sure to always have it on hand. Even if you are only leaving the house to run to the post office, make sure you bring their inhaler with you. You never know when your loved one may need it and it is better to always carry it with you. You can also talk to their doctor and ask them if they can prescribe your loved one backup inhalers, that way you can always have one at home and another to carry one with you. This is also a good practice to keep if you have asthma. And if your loved one does have asthma, allergies can definitely trigger an attack, so you will also want to make sure your loved one or you are always carrying an inhaler during allergy season in case they need it.   Seasonal allergies and their symptoms are not life-threatening, but they can be if your loved one takes any medications that their doctor is unaware of. Unless you are a doctor or a pharmacist, you probably don't know how a certain medication will interact with another, so it really is important to tell your loved one's doctors any and all medications they are taking.   If your loved one has allergies, they may have gotten hay fever at some point in their life or they may have it while you are providing care for them. You may be wondering, what exactly hay fever is. Hay fever, or allergic rhinitis, affects somewhere between forty and 60 million Americans a year. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, allergic rhinitis develops when the body's immune system recognizes and overreacts to something in the environment that typically causes no problems in most people. The name hay fever is a bit of a misnomer. Hay can cause some people to develop hay fever, but not everyone that experiences it is ever around hay. And hay fever does not cause a fever. People experiencing hay fever may have a runny nose, itchy eyes, mouth or skin, sneezing, stuffy nose, and fatigue, which is usually due to getting poor quality sleep with a stuffy nose.   There are two types of hay fever that people experience, seasonal and perennial. Seasonal hay fever usually happens from springtime through early autumn and is usually caused by outdoor mold or pollen. Perennial hay fever is usually experienced year-round and is caused by inside allergens, like dust, pet dander or pet hair, cockroaches, and mold.   It is also possible for food allergies to present themselves as hay fever. If your loved one experiences perennial hay fever and almost constantly has nasal congestion, ask their doctor if there's a chance that they have any food allergies you are unaware of. Don't remove any food groups from your loved one's diet without consulting with their doctor first.   Since hay fever usually presents itself as prolonged nasal congestion, your loved one might not know they are experiencing any allergy symptoms and think they have just come down with the common cold, which they might! It is possible to mistake a cold for allergies and vice versa, but if your loved one always has a stuffy nose in the spring, it is highly likely that they have seasonal allergies.   Doctors usually suggest treating hay fever the same way you treat allergy symptoms. You will want to keep the windows closed during peak pollen periods and use a HEPA filter for your air conditioner. Wear glasses outside to minimize irritants getting in your eyes. They also suggest using mite-proof bed covers to limit exposure to dust mites and a dehumidifier to control mold. You should also wash your hands after petting an animal and have someone else groom your pet if you have hay fever.   According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, intranasal corticosteroids are the single most effective drug class for treating allergic rhinitis and can significantly reduce nasal congestion as well as sneezing, itching, and a runny nose. Your doctor or an allergy specialist can determine if these are the best medication for your loved one to take to control their hay fever symptoms. Since these are nasal sprays and not an oral medication, they avoid many of the side effects that come with taking antihistamines. The usual side effects of nasal sprays include irritation in the area sprayed and nose bleeds.   Antihistamines can also help your loved one manage hay fever, but they come with all the side effects we talked about earlier in the episode. Another option that can help with hay fever is a decongestant. If your loved one has high blood pressure or heart disease, check with their doctor first before using any decongestant. Decongestant nasal sprays work well. Most people that use them feel relief in minutes and it lasts for a few hours. If your loved one uses this option, make sure they only use it for a few days at a time, unless otherwise instructed by their doctor. Using a decongestant nasal spray for too long can end up causing more swelling in the nasal cavity.   If your loved one is constantly suffering from allergies or hay fever and medications just are not working well or the side effects are too much, immunotherapy may be an option for them. Immunotherapy is usually long-lasting and has far fewer side effects than a daily antihistamine. Your loved one may be able to receive allergy shots or sublingual tablets, which dissolve under the tongue. Allergy shots inject a small amount of allergens directly into the arm, increasing the dose each week until a certain level has been achieved.   At this point, the patient then gets a shot once a month until another level is achieved and then once every six months. The period of time between shots can vary from person to person, though. This process lasts anywhere from three to five years and the effects of the shots, either lessening the allergy symptoms or making them disappear completely, lasts several more years. Typically, you would need to start the cycle again in six years.   Allergy shots can be time-consuming and take a while to actually see any improvement. If you do not want to deal with the shots, a sublingual tablet may be for you. Your loved one can take these year-round or they can start a few months before allergy season begins for them. However, there are more restrictions for this treatment. Currently, sublingual tablets are only available to treat certain grass and ragweed pollens and indoor dust mites.   It is still a fairly new treatment, as it was approved by the FDA in 2014, and as the years go on, they will be able to treat more allergens. Sublingual tablets are taken daily and dissolve under the tongue. These can be taken up to three years. After that, you will need to devise a new treatment plan with your loved one's doctor. For both of these treatment types, your doctor may refer you to an allergist if you don't see one already.   Allergies can be miserable and make you feel terrible constantly. We hope this episode has been helpful to you and given you new ways to help you manage your loved one's allergies.   We want to say thank you for joining us here at All Home Care Matters and for being a part of our 100th episode.

Eine Allergie kann zu Beschwerden an unterschiedlichen Organsystemen führen. Bei einer Hausstaubmilbenallergie sind häufig die Nase, Augen, die Lunge und die Haut betroffen. Und da Symptome wie eine verstopfte Nase, tränende Augen oder leichtes Husten auch auf eine Erkältung hindeuten können, ist es nicht immer einfach eine Hausstaubmilbenallergie zu diagnostizieren. Wir sprechen heute mit Dr. Matthias Krüll über folgende Themen: - Warum gehen Patienten oftmals erst nach Jahren zum Arzt, um ihre Beschwerden abzuklären? - Welche Auswirkungen kann eine zu spät gestellte Diagnose bzw. unzureichende Behandlung in Bezug auf die Erkrankung haben? - Tritt die Hausstaubmilbenallergie allein auf oder ist sie assoziiert mit anderen Allergien? - Welche Behandlungsoptionen gibt es bei Patienten mit Hausstaubmilbenallergie? - Adhärenz und Patientenführung Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

Slaughter checks performed at a packing plant are an underutilized tool for diagnosing subclinical disease, says Brad Schmitt, DVM, Four Star Veterinary Service, Rushville, Indiana. “We as swine veterinarians do a really good job of recognizing and treating clinical diseases that may be causing an obvious morbidity and mortality in the population,” Schmitt said. “I think we've got room to grow in recognizing subclinical issues that may not jump out at us, but they're still there and affecting finishing performance.”

In dieser Episode sprechen wir mit Prof. Dr. Kleine-Tebbe aus Berlin zum Thema allergisches Asthma. Es gibt vermehrt Hinweise, dass einer allergischen Rhinitis und allergischem Asthma dieselbe Erkrankung zugrunde liegt und dass die ursächliche Behandlung der Allergie bei beiden Erkrankungen Abhilfe schaffen kann. Prof. Kleine-Tebbe erklärt, welche Bedeutung die Allergie-Immuntherapie (AIT) bei der Behandlung allergischen Asthmas hat und zeigt auf, welcher Stellenwert der AIT heute auch in der Prävention asthmatischer Erkrankungen zukommt. ------- Die CME-Fortbildung zu diesem Thema und viele andere Online-Kurse auf Medcram finden Sie unter diesem Link: https://cme.medcram.de/cme-partner/alk-abello-arzneimittel-gmbh/

In this Healthed lecture, Prof Richard Harvey - Rhinologist at Dept. of Otolaryngology, St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney, University of New South Wales & Macquarie University, discusses the nature and treatment of sino-nasal complaints with a focus on rhinitis. There is still much confusion as to whether these symptoms are simply a condition of the nasal passage (rhinitis) or part of broader condition affecting the upper airway (sinusitis). Rhinitis can be allergy, but many patients suffer from neurogenic responses or chemical irritation of the airway which will rarely respond to traditional therapies.  See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Patrick: Hi dr Cabral love all the work your doing . I’m felling the best in my life since finding your podcast about 3 years ago . I’ve listened to all your podcast and some multiple times so I hate to ask a question I know you’ve answered more than once but nothing seems to work .my done is 14 and has had warts on his elbow for as long as I can remember whenever they burn or freeze them off they come back and the doctors make it like it’s normal and no big deal but obviously something isn’t right he also had really bad athletes feet when he was younger but that seemed to go away. Thanks for everything. Your the best Joy:Hello Dr Cabral. My concern is a constant runny nose especially when outside. I have this year round no matter the weather but it is worse with exercise and in cold weather. It’s annoying and embarrassing to constantly have to carry a tissue with me. I avoid the foods that I am highly sensitive to (based on results from the food sensitivity test) and have done the CBO protocol (based on test results from the stool test and organic acids test). I take daily thyroid medication for Hashimotos. I had surgery for a deviated septum last year and the dr suggested a cryotherapy procedure hoping that would fix my problem. The runny nose was better for a couple of months then back to the way it’s been for as long as I can remember. Very disappointing to say the least. Any suggestions as to what my next step might be? Or just learn to live with it? Love listening to your podcasts. I am always learning. Thank you for all you do! Joy LAL: Hi, dr. Cabral :)I have a question regarding chlorella versus spirulina.. Medical Medium says chlorella is messy because it takes heavy metals and drops them elsewhere in the body, so spirulina is better because it takes them out the body all the way.. and you’re supposed to make a smoothie with it, having all these ingredients together for a Heavy metal detox smoothie: spirulina, cilantro, barley grass JUICE powder (it has to be juice powder apparently, can you explain the difference please?), wild blueberries and Atlantic dulse.. what do you think about this smoothie? Is it really helping with taking the heavy metals out because of the combination of these 5 ingredients?The second question will be another on the watermelon.. it’s supposed to be a great liver cleansing food.. I eat it every day for breakfast..But I also eat the seeds? Is that ok? Apparently they have protein (like all seeds do) but how is that when it comes to food combining?Thank you so much!Everyone, have a lovely day and happy healing! :) Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral! First off I want to say that I have healed so much from working with your health coaches (Julia specifically) and doing your protocols. I've healed my gut and worked on my hormones, but I just can't seem to kick my allergies. During quarantine I got a puppy and I appear to be allergic to his saliva - I get itchy & sometimes hives after touching/playing with him, especially if he licks me. I do feel like with all the work I've been doing my allergies in general have gotten better but I don't know why they're not relieved much more given all the work I've done (I still have to use anti- histamine & cingular daily). Main question is: do you see dog allergies as something a person can heal from? I took the big 5 in June & am now on a hormone protocol to get my cortisol levels & thyroid back to normal. Aside from that, where do I go from here to ease my allergies? LAL: Hi, dr. Cabral :)I’m interested in coconut water.. do you recommend drinking it? Why? Does it have a lot of benefits?We have different ones in our stores and all say they’re only coconut water from coconuts, no added sugar, not from concentrate.. but they taste so different, do you know why?All of them are pasteurised.. what does that mean? Is it bad, does it take away the nutrients?Thank you so much, have an amazing day! Cleo: Hi Dr Cabral,If I test positive for COVID-19 antibodies, what is the risk of me contracting the virus again and would it be contagious? I'm asking because I've tested positive for the antibodies and would like to visit my dad but he is considered extremely vulnerable. I don't live in the same country as him and would have to travel internationally so I'm afraid of contracting the virus on the trip and then passing it to him. Thank you so much. Jenna: I'm currently 2 weeks into the CBO protocol, by the time you read this I'll probably be on week 6-8. I did the OAT test through Equilibrium, but I did a stool test through another company. There were no parasite detected but after hearing you explain that a 3 day stool test is best for parasites, I realized the 1 day test I did may not have been sufficient and I'm feeling a bit paranoid that I don't know for sure if I have a parasite. My question is that if I want to test for parasites using the 3 day test Equilibrium offers, can I do this test in the middle of the CBO or will it skew the results? Is it better to wait until the CBO is completed to test? I want as much accuracy as possible.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1647 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

Show Notes Differentiating bronchiolitis from asthma and reactive airway disease in young children can be challenging, and a rapidly changing clinical presentation can confound accurate assessment of the severity of the illness. This episode reviews risk factors for apnea and severe bronchiolitis; discusses treatments/therapies and provides evidence-based recommendations for the management of pediatric patients with bronchiolitis. Show More v Pathophysiology Bronchiolar narrowing and obstruction is caused by: Increased mucus secretion Cell death and sloughing Peri-bronchiolar lymphocytic infiltrate Submucosal edema Smooth muscle constriction seems to have a limited role, perhaps explaining the lack of response to bronchodilators. Median duration of illness is 12 days in children 2 yo.3 Late fall epidemic peaking Nov-March, in the US.4 Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) accounts for 3-19% 5,6 Similar seasonal variation to RSV. Parainfluenza, influenza, adenoviruses, coronaviruses, rhinoviruses, and enteroviruses are other causes.4-6 Rhinoviruses have been shown to play a larger role in Asthma.7 Presentation The American Academy of Pediatrics defines it as any of the following in infants: 1 Rhinitis Tachypnea Wheezing Cough Crackles Use of accessory muscles Nasal flaring Differential Diagnosis Emergent Causes Infection: pneumonia, chlamydia, pertussis Foreign body: aspirated or esophageal Cardiac anomaly: congestive heart failure, vascular ring Allergic reaction Bronchopulmonary dysplasia exacerbation Non-acute Causes Congenital anomaly: tracheoesophageal fistula, bronchogenic cyst, laryngotracheomalacia Gastroesophageal reflux disease Mediastinal mass Cystic fibrosis Clinical Pearls Vomiting, wheezing, and coughing associated with feeding; consider GERD. Wheezing associated with position changes; consider tracheomalacia or great vessel anomalies. Wheezing exacerbated by flexion of neck and relieved by neck hyperextension; consider vascular ring. Multiple respiratory tract infections and failure to thrive; consider cystic fibrosis or immunodeficiency. Wheezing with heart murmur, cardiomegaly, cyanosis, exertion or sweating with feeding; consider cardiac disease. Sudden onset of wheezing and choking; consider foreign body. Risk Factors for Severe Bronchiolitis Age < 6-12 weeks11-13 Prematurity < 35-37 weeks’ gestation11-13 Underlying respiratory illness such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia1 Significant congenital heart disease; immune deficiency including HIV, organ or bone marrow transplants, or congenital immune deficiencies14,15 Altered mental status (impending respiratory failure) Dehydration due to inability to tolerate oral fluids Ill appearance12 Oxygen saturation level ≤ 90%1 Respiratory rate: > 70 breaths/min or higher than normal rate for patient age1,12 Increased work of breathing: moderate to severe retractions and/or accessory muscle use1 Nasal flaring Grunting Risk Factors for Apnea Full-term birth and < 1 month of age16,17 Preterm birth (< 37 weeks’ gestation) and age < 2 months post birth11-13,17 History of apnea of prematurity Emergency department presentation with apnea17 Apnea witnessed by a caregiver17 Diagnostic Testing Xray Radiographs increase the likely hood of a physician giving antibiotics, even if the X-ray is negative.18-20 Routine radiography is discouraged, but may be helpful when severe disease requires further evaluation or exclusion of foreign body. Viral testing is not necessary for the diagnosis but may help when searching for the cause of fever in young infants. 2016 ACEP fever guidelines note that positive viral testing can impact further workup of fever for a serious bacterial infection (SBI).21 In infants 90% Clinicians may choose not to use continuous pulse oximetry (weak recommendation due to low-level evidence and reasoning)1 Fluids IV or NG administration of fluids to combat dehydration, until respiratory distress and tachypnea resolve. Suctioning Routine use of “deep” suctioning may not be beneficial and may be harmful.1 Nasal suction should be used to help infants with respiratory distress, poor feeding or sleeping. Bronchodilators1,25,26 Generally nor recommended for routine use. May trial in infants with: Severe bronchiolitis (these were excluded in the studies). History of prior wheezing. Family history of atopy/asthma in an older infant. Anticholinergic Agents (ipratropium bromide) No evidence for improvement in bronchiolitis.31-34 Corticosteroids AAP1, Cochrane Review27, and PECARN28 study all recommend against, finding no evidence for improvement. One small study (70 patients) found a benefit utilising 1 mg/kg oral dexamethasone followed by 0.6 mg/kg daily for 5 days. However, the study limited by size and increased prevalence of family history of atopy. Recommendations remain against use in first time wheezers with bronchiolitis. Racemic Epinephrine Not recommended1. Further study needed. Racemic Epinephrine + Oral Dexamethasone Pediatric Emergency Research Canada trial at 8 Canadian pediatric EDs involving 800 infants aged 6 weeks to 12 months with bronchiolitis found that the epinephrine-dexamethasone group had a lower admission rate over 7 days than the placebo group (17.1% vs 26.4%). This was not statistically significant. Further study needed. 30 Hypertonic Saline AAP guidelines do not recommend use in the ED but note clinicians may utilize it in the inpatient setting. 1 Cochrane reviews in 2013 and 2017 found some inpatient benefit, but a conflicting publication found it may worsen cough.35-37 High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) Several small pediatric ICU studies show a benefit in severe cases. No large ED randomized trials exist, to date. Study protocols included weight based or age based flow rates. Nasal CPAP Shows benefit in pediatric ICU settings. Evidence vs HFNC is limited. Disposition Consider admission if any of the following are present: Risk for apnea Risk for severe bronchiolitis Respiratory distress, particularly if it interferes with feeding Hypoxia (oxygen saturation ≤ 90%) Decreased feeding and/or dehydration An unreliable caregiver (ie, unable to ensure patient care and appropriate 24-hour follow-up) All patients with severe bronchiolitis should be admitted.

**Episode # 15 General Health Questions ** Hi, this is Michael Lingard, your Buteyko Educator, welcoming you to the final episode of Better Breathing Means Better Health and offering you my congratulations on completing this course. You now have the understanding and tools to continue improving your breathing and health in the future. Just to remind you of the powerful impact on your health that improved breathing will have, you can download leaflets on the subjects covered below: If you don’t have access while listening to this podcast, go to my website HERE where you will be able to download them there. Circulation & Heart Disease (Download a pdf leaflet HERE) Lowered CO2 because of hyperventilation constricts the arteries throughout the body, lowered CO2 impairs the release of oxygen from your blood and mouth breathing rather than nose breathing reduces the production of nitric oxide. The effect of the above is to put more physical stress on the heart that now needs to pump more blood around the body to deliver the same amount of oxygen, with narrowed arteries due to smooth muscle spasm and lower nitric oxide levels this means the blood pressure has to be higher leading to further stress on the heart. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & ME (Download a pdf leaflet HERE) With chronic over-breathing the oxygenation of all the tissue in the body is depleted, this will impair the muscle functioning strength and also reduce the oxygen getting to the brain. The latter effect is made worse by the fact that the body protects the vital areas of the brain by shunting more blood to these centres leaving even less oxygen for higher centres of the brain. Resulting in mental as well as physical tiredness. COPD & Emphysema (Download a pdf leaflet HERE) Both these conditions are associated with loss of healthy functioning lung tissue that causes severe breathlessness and restricted physical activity. Invariably patients will be over-breathing in an attempt to combat the sensation of breathlessness but as we now understand this will worsen the oxygenation of the body. By improving their breathing, eliminating hyperventilation, what healthy lung tissue remaining will deliver more effective oxygenation of the body. Gut & Bladder Problems and IBS (Download a pdf leaflet HERE) We have all experienced how stress can upset our gut, hence when we improve our breathing and reduce the ill effects of stress it benefits our gut. As you know, over-breathing with loss of carbon dioxide, causes spasm of all smooth muscle in the body and that includes the muscle around your stomach, intestines and other hollow organs. Improve breathing is always beneficial to all gut and bladder problems. Watch this short video of a recent client's response to the breath training HERE Stress Anxiety & Panic Attacks (Download a pdf leaflet HERE) As you now realize, stress leads to over-breathing, repeated stressors lead to chronic hyperventilation, what every person suffering anxiety will have. As explained before this impairs oxygenation of the body and in particular the brain suffers from this lowered oxygen supply. If the control pause falls into the lower teens this can trigger a panic attack that is usually accompanied by increased panting or gasping that further worsens the situation. Improved breathing protects against this. Asthma, Sinusitis, Hay Fever & Rhinitis (Download a pdf leaflet HERE) If the Buteyko Method is renown for its dramatic health benefits and been proven with many clinical trials , it is with the support and management of asthma. If you are particularly interested in this condition I would strongly recommend you watch a YouTube video production by the BBC that covers a small trial conducted under the supervision of a leading respiratory specialist in Edinburgh HERE. and the first hand story of a recent asthma client HERE Sports Performance & Breath Training (Download a pdf leaflet HERE) It is not rocket science to suggest that any improved oxygenation to your body will improve your sports performance and general fitness. Many leading world athletes and sports people have used the Buteyko Method to give themselves that critical small percentage improvement that is the difference between winning or losing. Their general health has also improved as a side-effect! Insomnia, Snoring and Sleep Apnoea (Download a pdf leaflet HERE) Over-breathing usually is worse at night when asleep, largely because you are not using much muscle activity, hence lower carbon dioxide production but still over-breathing as during your waking hours, so carbon dioxide levels fall dangerously low. This can lead to sleep disturbances, nightmares with children or if more severe sleep apnoea. Sleep apnoea is a serious problem that can predispose to heart problems. However, the repeated cessation of breathing associated with sleep apnoea is the body’s protection against the severe loss of carbon dioxide. The solution is to improve your breathing 24/7. Eczema, Allergies and Itchy Skin (Download a pdf leaflet HERE) The skin is the largest organ in our body, it requires a good blood supply for normal health and is susceptible to allergens that come in contact or are taken in. Chronic hyperventilation hits the skin two ways, it receives poor blood supply and histamine levels rise as stress pushes our breathing up. The combination paves the way for eczema, allergies and skin disorders. Food sensitivities may well be an important component but you now have the means of checking this as explained in episode seven. Orthodontic, Dental Problems & Gum Disease (Download a pdf leaflet HERE) This is perhaps the most difficult relationship to understand. How can dysfunctional breathing lead to major structural problems in our development of teeth and all the structures of our skull? There is strong evidence that children that habitually mouth breathe will develop orthodontic problems such as crowded teeth as well as poor facial features. If you want a detailed professional explanation of this I suggest you watch a video by Dr. John Flutter HERE.

We also discuss allergy in general and touch on the future of Hay Fever treatments.

Jessie: Thanks for your podcast on castor oil packs. Other castor questions: - Do you recommend this topically for scarring on face? How much? - Do you recommend a tablespoon of castor oil at night, to keep bowl movements going during a cleanse, or in general day to day life. I have been hearing very beneficial daily. - Can you rub on your abdomen as lotion at night, if you don't have time for the pack? Still beneficial?       Heather: Hi Dr Cabral, First want to thank you for your free podcasts, my husband and I have made some serious changes since starting your daily podcasts. I have been dealing with forehead acne for almost 6 years(post getting off-implanon birth control) , the acne that is tiny bumps all throughout the forehead, sometimes jawline and back of neck which never come to a head just stay under the skin. I have been to dermatologists and have been prescribed each time , topical clindomyicin and minocycline which caused irregular periods so I had to stop but continued the topical which seemed to work until a couple months later all returned. I regularly do a coconut oil cleanse for removing makeup/daily toxins and have gotten rid of all harsh soaps, limit makeup use and have cut gluten, dairy and eggs and nothing seems to help fully clear it up. I am currently not on any medications, workout regularly and just started your detox. Is there anything else I could do to finally rid this acne? Thank you in advance for your advice, Heather       CC: Hi Dr Cabral, I have two quick questions; my nose is guaranteed to always run in hot or cold temperatures (i.e. outside cold weather or taking a hot shower, eating hot soup, spices etc) what would be the cause of this, as far as I'm aware I have no allergies, it's purely temperature related? Also I wonder what your view is on CBD oil and if there are any brands that you are in favour of? Thanks so much, excellent show!       Joe: Hey Dr. Cabral, I was wondering what you thought of oil of oreganofor a daily "tonic". I hear one side say its selective and doesn't kill good bacteria and that you could even make kefir with it. And then you have the other side saying it will destroy your good gut bacteria. Also I have been working on fixing adrenal fatigue from a anti candida diet and tried taking adaptogens like ashwaganda and rhodiola and got severe insomnia and just felt like i couldn't shut my body down. I know these aren't for everyone and people react differently, wasn't sure if it was that or it was adapting to handle some underlying stressors in my body. Thanks. Really appreciate you answering everyones questions. Your the man!       Misty: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been listening to your podcast for several months now. I have even gone back and listened to the previous shows. My question is about detoxing. About 10 years ago I started taking a real interest in my health. I am a ethical vegan who tries to follow a planet based diet but does occasionally indulge in some vegan junk food. I have tried to do a several different detoxes. The first I was introduced to was the master cleanse. I tried it and failed miserably. Each detox I've tried I have thought was more sophisticated and healthier detox than the previous. The last one I tried was your seven day detox. With all of the detoxes I get to either the end of day two or the beginning of day three and I end up with a massive migraine that usually involves Extreme pain, light sensitivity, vomiting, and diarrhea. I am very good about drinking plenty of water during the detox. I stopped the seven day detox at the end of day three. I was about 6 weeks postop from a hysterectomy and was afraid that the vomiting would disrupt some of the stitches I still had on the inside. I would like to complete the seven day detox. What advice do you have for me? With love and admiration, Misty     Ms. Taylor: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for the valuable information you share!!! I have a question about the 7-day detox. I'm currently on day 3 and I have some interesting side effects and I'm hoping you can tell me if they're normal. I ate my vegetarian lunch (salad) and within two hours, I had an urgent, yellow, liquid, BM that had green bits (my salad!) in it. My stomach doesn't hurt. I feel great. In fact, I feel almost euphoric, very energetic. Is this normal??? I will mention I'm drinking more tea than I normally do but not excessive. Thanks again!!       Anon: hello! thankyou for all your advice, I would love to hear a "What I Eat in a Day" Dr Cabral style! What you eat on a regular basis for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Do you have healthy desert? thank you   I hope you enjoyed today's Q&A and all the tips added in along the way!   - - -   Show Notes:   http://StephenCabral.com/450   - - -   Get Your Question Answered:   http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral        

In almost every yoga class, the teacher will emphasize the importance of breath—but what does that really mean and why does it matter? If you ask, you'll likely hear that you're adding oxygen to your blood or improving your circulation. But is that true? It turns out that most yoga breathing actually reduces oxygen in the blood and increases CO2. To add to this paradox, more CO2 is actually a good thing and results in more oxygen to the cells. On this week's Yoga Talk Show, you'll learn how and why.  ------------ Listen & Learn: Why C02 is actually your friend How C02 relaxes muscle tissue (great for stretching) Why nose breathing encourages diaphragmatic breathing, increases NO2, and arterial oxygen uptake How reduced breathing increased saliva in the mouth, a sign of parasympathetic nervous system dominance and higher CO2 Why 30% of population has Rhinitis and how reduced breathing can help How reduced breathing impacts your spleen (yes, your spleen!)  ABOUT OUR GUEST Patrick completed his clinical training in the Buteyko Breathing Method at the Buteyko Clinic, Moscow, Russia, a training accredited by Professor Konstantin Buteyko himself. Patrick suffered from asthma as a kid and discovered the Buteyko Method at the age of 26 and has been asthma-free since then, a feat that over 20 years of medication had failed to accomplish. In a career spanning 15 years, Patrick has since also become a bestselling author and expert on the topic of optimal breathing for improved health, well-being and fitness. Among the eight books Patrick has written, two have consistently remained in the top ten best sellers on Amazon.com: He is the author of 3 books: Close Your Mouth, Asthma Free Naturally, and The Oxygen Advantage®.

0403 Health Watch : Rhinitis in Springs

Rhinitis is irritation or inflammation of the mucous membrane inside the nose. When this happens during pregnancy it is termed pregnancy rhinitis. The main symptoms are sneezing, nasal congestion or running nose. This is a common ailment during pregnancy and affects between 9-40% of expecting moms. Pregnancy Rhinitis can start in almost any gestational week, but is most common in the third trimester, and disappears shortly after you have your baby. If you are pregnant and suffering from a stuffy nose, you are not alone. This episode discusses the causes of a stuffy nose and pregnancy rhinitis and what you can do to safely treat it during pregnancy.

1105 Science of Korean Medicine : Rhinitis(비염)

Acupuncture relieves sinus allergies (allergic rhinitis).

    THIS WEEK’S TOPIC: Innovations in Treating Chronic Sinusitis Chronic sinusitis, a problem affecting as many as 50 million Americans, is an irritation of the sinus/nasal passages that lasts at least 12 weeks or longer. In the Southeast, the problem is very common due to our high average humidity and mild winters. These conditions lead […] The post Innovations in Treating Chronic Sinusitis – Top Docs Radio appeared first on Business RadioX ®.

Background: Asthma and allergies are world-wide common chronic diseases among children and young people. Little information is available about the prevalence of these diseases in rural areas of Latin America. This study assesses the prevalence of symptoms of asthma and allergies among children in urban and rural areas at Oropeza Province in Bolivia. Methods: The Spanish version of the ISAAC standardized questionnaire and the ISAAC video questionnaire were implemented to 2584 children attending the fifth elementary grade in 36 schools in Oropeza province (response 91%). Lifetime, 12 months and severity prevalence were determined for asthma, rhinitis and eczema symptoms. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated adjusting for age using generalized linear mixed-effects models. Results: Median age of children was 11 years, 74.8% attended public schools, and 52.1% were female. While children attending urban schools had lower prevalence of self-reported wheeze in the written questionnaire (adjusted OR 0.6; 95% CI 0.4-1.9), they were more likely than children attending rural schools to report wheeze in the video questionnaire (aOR 2.1; 95% CI 1.0-2.6). They also reported more frequently severe rhinoconjunctivitis (aOR 2.8; 95% CI 1.2-6.6) and severe eczema symptoms (aOR 3.3; 95% CI 1.0-11.0). Conclusion: Overall in accordance with the hygiene hypothesis, children living in urban areas of Bolivia seem to have a higher prevalence of symptoms of asthma and allergies compared to children living in the country side. In order to develop primary prevention strategies, environmental factors need to be identified in future studies.

Background: Asthma and allergies are world-wide common chronic diseases among children and young people. Little is known about prevalence and environmental and dietary risk factors of asthma and allergies among rural and urban school children in Bolivia. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence, severity and risk factors associated with asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis, and eczema symptoms in children of school age in Oropeza Province – Bolivia. Methods: Overall, 2584 children (response 91%) attending fifth elementary grade in Oropeza province answered the written and the video questionnaire of the International Study on Asthma and Allergies in Childhood. Lifetime, 12 months and severity prevalence were determined for asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema symptoms. The associations between: environmental and dietary factors and symptoms of asthma, rhinoconjuctivitis and eczema symptoms were analysed using logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age, sex and place of living. Results: Median age of children was 11 years, 52% were female and 26% lived in rural areas. The prevalence of asthma symptoms was higher in the written (18%) than in the video questionnaire (6%). 22% of children reported symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis and 9% eczema symptoms. Overall, rural children reported more frequently symptoms of asthma and allergies than urban children. Parental smoking (adjusted OR 1.3; 95%IC 1.0-1.6), presence of disease vectors at home (fourth quartile vs. first quartile: 1.5; 1.1-2.2) and farm animals (1.3; 1.0-1.6) were statistically significant predictors of asthma symptoms detected by the written questionnaire. The associations were similar for symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema. A greater adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD) was inversely related with asthma symptoms in the video questionnaire (reference category: 1st quartile; second quartile 0.6; 0.3-0.9, third quartile 0.7; 0.4-1.2, fourth quartile 0.6; 0.3-1.0) Conclusion: Our results suggest that promoting a healthy diet and reducing exposure to modifiable risk factors like environmental tobacco smoke, precarious housing conditions and certain disease vectors would have a significant positive impact on asthma and allergies morbidity in children in this region.

DG103 - Akute Rhinitis

Objectives: Occupational exposures have been associated with an increased risk of new-onset rhinitis in apprentices. However, population-based prospective data are scarce and do not cover new onset of rhinitis later in life. The authors studied the association between occupational exposure and adult onset of rhinitis prospectively.Methods: The data of 4994 participants (age at follow-up 28--57 years) from 27 centres of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey II who were symptom-free at baseline were analysed. As outcome at follow-up self-reported (a) nasal allergies (``allergic rhinitis'') and (b) runny, blocked nose for 12 months a year (``perennial rhinitis'') were used. Occupational exposures at any time during follow-up were defined by job title.Results: The cumulative incidence of allergic rhinitis, perennial rhinitis and both conditions was 12%, 11% and 3%, respectively. Compared to office workers, male medical professionals were at increased risk of new onset of allergic rhinitis (OR 3.0; 95% CI 1.4 to 6.4). Odds ratios were reduced in metal workers not involved in metal making or treating (0.3; 95% CI 0.1 to 0.7). For perennial rhinitis ORs were significantly increased in cleaners (1.4; 95% CI 1.0 to 2.1).Conclusions: Cleaners and medical professionals may be at increased risk for adult-onset rhinitis.

In den letzten Jahrzehnten ist die Prävalenz von Asthma und atopischen Erkrankungen in der Allgemeinbevölkerung stetig gestiegen. Gleichzeitig haben auch beruflich bedingte Allergien und Asthma zugenommen und stehen nach wie vor an der Spitze der angezeigten Berufskrankheiten. Aktuelle Richtlinien raten Jugendlichen mit schwerem oder moderatem Asthma von Berufen mit hohem Asthmarisiko ab. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, in einer prospektiven Kohortenstudie zu untersuchen, inwiefern Jugendliche mit atopischen Erkrankungen bereits eine Selbstselektion hin zu risikoarmen Tätigkeiten vornehmen. Es wurden hierfür die 1995/1996 erstmals im Rahmen der International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) befragten Teilnehmer aus Dresden und München nach sieben Jahren erneut kontaktiert. Die Probanden, die zum ersten Befragungszeitpunkt zwischen 9-11 Jahren alt waren, waren 2002/03 am Übergang zum Berufsleben. Mittels eines validierten Papierfragebogens wurden sie zu Atemwegssymptomen und atopischen Erkrankungen befragt. Zudem sollten sie ihre Berufswünsche nennen. Die Angaben zu den Wunschberufen wurden durch die Anwendung einer Job Exposure Matrix in Zusammenhang mit einer beruflichen Exposition sowie einem Asthmarisiko gebracht. Von den insgesamt 3782 Teilnehmern nannten 58% einen konkreten Berufswunsch. Dabei gaben 28% einen Beruf an, der mit einem hohem Asthmarisiko assoziiert war und 16% einen Beruf mit niedrigem Asthmarisiko. Für die restlichen Probanden war kein Asthmarisiko in den von ihnen angegeben Berufen zu vermuten. Es bestand kein Zusammenhang zwischen aktuellen Symptomen eines Asthmas, einer allergischer Rhinitis oder einer atopischen Dermatitis und der Wahl eines Berufes ohne Asthmarisiko. Vielmehr wählten Teilnehmer mit einer atopischen Dermatitis häufiger Berufe, in denen sie potentiell gegenüber Latex exponiert wären. Eine ausschließliche Betrachtung der Gruppe der Berufsfachschüler unter den Jugendlichen ergab ebenfalls keine statistisch signifikante Assoziation zwischen Asthma, allergischer Rhinitis oder atopischer Dermatitis und der Wahl eines Berufes mit Asthmarisiko. Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Studie lassen erkennen, dass Jugendliche bei ihrer Berufwahl atopische Erkrankungen bislang nicht berücksichtigen. Von einer wirksamen Berufsberatung kann somit nicht ausgegangen werden. Eine Ursache hierfür ist möglicherweise auch das Fehlen von evidenzbasierten Empfehlungen, die dem Berufsberater und Pädiater für die Berufswahl atopischer Jugendlicher zur Verfügung stehen.

Vorratsmilben sind in der Humanmedizin als Auslöser von allergischem Asthma und allergischer Rhinitis bekannt. Insbesondere Landwirte und Bäcker sind diesen Milben ausgesetzt, somit sind Personen dieser Berufsgruppen häufig gegen Vor-ratsmilben¬antigene sensibilisiert. Verschiedene Studien zeigen jedoch, dass Vor-ratsmilben auch unter sehr feuchten Wohnbedingungen in Haushalten auftreten und somit an der Hausstauballergie des Menschen beteiligt sein können. In der Tiermedizin werden Vorratsmilben und ihre Antigene neben Allergenen anderer Herkunft als Auslöser der atopischen Dermatitis des Hundes angesehen. Sowohl atopische als auch gesunde Hunde zeigen häufig erhöhte vorratsmilben¬spezifische IgE-Spiegel im Serum oder vorratsmilbenpositive Intrakutantests. Da Vorratsmilben in Trockenfutter vermutet werden, sind häufige Empfehlungen an Besitzer mit sensibilisierten Hunden ein kompletter Verzicht auf Trockenfutter oder Einfrieren desselbigen, um einen Allergenkontakt der Hunde zu minimieren und die Milbenkonzentration im Futter niedrig zu halten. Ziel dieser Studie war es herauszufinden, ob Hunde durch ihr Trockenfutter oder in ihrer direkten Umgebung Vorratsmilben ausgesetzt sind. Im ersten Teil dieser Studie wurden 23 Säcke mit Hundetrockenfutter von neun verschiedenen Herstellern auf eine Kontamination mit Vorratsmilben untersucht. Die Probennahme begann am Tag der ersten Öffnung des Sackes und wurde wö¬chentlich über einen Zeitraum von bis zu sechs Wochen fortgesetzt. Zusätzlich wurden acht Proben von alten Futterresten aus Futtertonnen und aus über ein Jahr lang gelagerten Futtersäcken in die Untersuchungen einbezogen. Die Proben wur¬den innerhalb der ersten 24 Stunden nach Entnahme zerkleinert und mikrosko¬pisch untersucht. Darauf folgte eine weitere Untersuchung in Form einer Flotation und anschließender mikroskopischer Untersuchung. Im zweiten Teil der Studie wurden Staubproben aus 20 unterschiedlichen Haus¬halten mit gesunden Hunden auf eine Kontamination mit Vorratsmilben unter¬sucht. Die Staubproben repräsentierten jeweils den Fressplatz und den Schlafplatz des Hundes in jedem Haushalt. Für die Probennahme wurde ein handelsüblicher Staubsauger mit einem Filteraufsatz eingesetzt. Die gewonnenen Staubproben wurden mittels Flotationsverfahren und anschließender mikroskopischer Untersu¬chung auf eine Kontamination mit Milben überprüft. Es wurden insgesamt 154 Futterproben untersucht. Sowohl die wöchentlich unter¬suchten Trockenfuttersäcke als auch die zusätzlich untersuchten Futterreste zeig¬ten keine Kontamination mit Vorratsmilben. In fünf der insgesamt 40 untersuchten Staubproben waren Milben verschiedener Spezies vorhanden. Jede positive Probe zeigte eine Kontamination mit mindestens einer Milbe. Sie wurden in vier Proben als Hausstaubmilben Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, in einer Probe als Demodex sp. (kurzschwänzige Art) und in einer Probe als Vorratsmilbe identifiziert. Letztere Probe stammte von einem Fressplatz des Hundes eines Haushaltes. Diese Studie lässt vermuten, dass kommerzielles Hundtrockenfutter nicht mit Vorratsmilben kontaminiert ist. Ein geringer Gehalt an Vorratsmilben in Haus¬staub zeigt, dass Hunde Vorratsmilben eher durch Staub in der Umgebung ausge¬setzt sind. Da hohe vorratsmilbenspezifische IgE-Spiegel und positive Intrakutantests beim Hund keine Seltenheit darstellen, sind weitere Studien notwendig, um Vorratsmil-benanti¬gene in Trockenfutter und in der Umgebung zu bestimmen. Darüber hin-aus müssen zukünftige Untersuchungen Aufschluss darüber geben, ob bei positiv getesteten Hunden eine wirkliche Sensibilisierung gegen Vorratsmil¬ben vorliegt oder ob eine mögliche Kreuzreaktion zu Hausstaubmilben besteht.
