What causes these symptoms? In allergy sufferers, the body

One of the primary reasons patients come to an allergist is due to the side effects from most allergy medications.

Its a little known fact that sleepiness is not the only side effect.

In fact loss of sex drive, increased appetite, altered tast and smell and anxiety are

Allergies and asthma are diseases that affect individuals of all ages, and their prevalence is comparable in all age groups. As age demographics in the United States and other countries shift to greater proportions and numbers of patients in the “elderly” categories, it is becoming increasingly important for clinicians to become aware of the impact of aging on a variety of diseases. Allergy and asthma are recognized as inflammatory disorders, and there are data demonstrating that age-related changes in immune function can have a significant impact on these disorders.

Occasionally allergies make their initial appearance in the elderly. Asthma is a clinical diagnosis that is characterized by airway inflammation in association with reversible airflow obstruction and bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and it has an estimated prevalence of 8 to 10% across all age groups.

Inevitably this time of year thousands of cheerful merry makers suffer from a host of allergens uncommon to the average day.

Everything from Christmas trees to fruitcake!

Here are a few methods for surviving this holiday season.

If your family or friends are prone to purchasing christmas trees from lots and vendors you should assume that the mold will be fare greater from these trees than if they had cut one down themselves. Either way always spray don the tree outside before bringing it in your house.

If you know that you’re allergic to mold, you could also spray the tree with a fungicide but be aware that such chemicals (especially the toxic variety) can also aggravate allergies and cause other respiratory problems. We offer M-1 Sure Cote, a clear, non-toxic, odorless mold-resistant coating that will kill mold and prevent future growth. If you decide to use Sure Cote, I suggest letting the coating dry before bringing the tree inside.

Pollen from Christmas trees is normally not a big problem for allergy sufferers (since the pines and firs found at most Christmas tree lots pollinate in the spring), but mountain cedar trees pollinate in late November and early December, so if you chop down your own mountain cedar tree, then the pollen could be troublesome – especially since one person out of every 10 is to allergic mountain cedar pollen. The main problem, however, is mold that enters the home with the tree.

Of course a fake tree is always the best and safest bet for those suffering from allergies.

Applying a quality air filter will always help regardless of the type of live tree or even with a fake tree.

It is almost impossible to find someone who hasnt heard of Botox.

Botox has been the big boy on the block for years with really very few contenders… until now.

Entering the ring of nonsurgical esthetic

Most people are greatly misinformed in regards to eczema. We just assume that eczema is a condition while in reality it is not a single condition. We all associate itchy skin to eczema but there are many other symptoms and varying degrees treatments. Some of these treatments can be very similar so its imperative to understand the different types of rash conditions that might be called eczema and their correlating treatments.

One of the most common types of eczema is also called atopic dermatitis, which may occur on any part of the body including face and hands. Some people over time will recover from this condition and no longer get it, but about 50% of people who develop it as children still get in on their hands as adults. It usually presents in outbreaks, and the standard eczema treatment methods for this form of dermatitis include use of moisturizers, topical corticosteroids applied to the skin, and allergy testing to make certain the rash isn

Daily I am approached with frustrated women who simply cannot find a reasonable solution to using makeup when they are dealing with allergies.
