why are there more people with allergies today
Seen an item on TV this morning which said that there are more and more people suffering with allergies these days, some people with multi-allergies, why do you think this is. My own thoughts are that when kids are growing up these days they are no longer come into contact with germs and diseases like the olden days, we used to build up resistance to lots of elements by coming into contact with them. I also think that modern living and modern foods also add to this, there was very few houses with central heat and fitted carpets (although a lot of people are turning to wooden floors again) what do you think

Chemical pollution weakens the immune system too

Could the reason be that there are about 6.5 Billion of us on the planet, living closer and closer together and we can't help getting right up each others noses?

maybe the mass medication of teh public with antibiotics has killed off our immune systems , its bad enough doctors handing them out for almost anything but they pump chickens full of them to make them fatter so were basicly a nation eating antibiotics every day wether it be through precription or whats allowed to be put in our food

Re: why are there more people with allergies today
Some years ago I attended a private allergy clinic in Whalley and it was found that I was allergic to many things.At first it was a struggle to find foods that I could eat without severe discomfort.I later decided that to overcome this I had to meet the challenge head on.
With this in mind I gradually re-introduced (with caution) all the things I was allergic to.After a time I found that I could cope with most things,but there always has to be the odd thing that will not conform.In my case there were two,Sugar and Yeast. I battled on for 45 years facing the challenge relentlessly but always with the same result. I fell down:drunk::thepint::cheers: |

Re: why are there more people with allergies today
don't think all the crap we eat with additives helps a great deal either. virtually no such thing as fresh food these days.

I cook everything from scratch, but I have hay fever and eczema....both of which developed later on in my life.
The eczema, I think was caused by exposure to the harsh cleaning chemicals that we used in nursing.......and I nursed before it was common to wear plastic or latex gloves to do this sort of work. The hay fever came on after I had been working with dried flowers(as a hobby and to make money for The Scanner Appeal). These are just my personal observations of my allergies, and may not relate to anyone else. |

Add to that electro magnetic forces emitted by many of the electrical items we now have in our homes.
After all, when I grew up many people didn't have one TV, let alone one in each room. |

I half expected someone on here to ridicule EMFs as a source of pollution, and damaging to well being.
