| Pets With Food Allergies | | 2008-05-08 02:18:48 | | Food allergies account for about 10% of all the allergies seen in cats and dogs.The entire process of a pet being sensitized to a particular agent in food and the complicated antibody response that occurs in the intestinal tract in pets with food allergies are not very well understood. Despite our lack of understanding of the actual disease process, there are many things that we do know.Food allergies affect both cats and dogs. There is no strong link between specific breeds and food allergies. Food allergies affect both males and females and neutered and intact animals equally. They can show up as early as five months and as late as 12 years of age, though the vast majority of cases occur between 2 and 6 years. Many animals with food allergies also have concurrent inhalant or contact allergies.There is a distinction that needs to be made between food allergies and food intolerances.

| | Food Allergies Are Common With Autism | | 2008-04-30 08:04:00 | | If your child is a picky eater this article from The Village Stream shows how it could be more than taste buds. Pam writes from experience with autism , food allergies and picky eaters. Read on to help your picky eater.Picky picky picky!!!!In many cases the picky food war is more than just personality, taste buds, or (gulp)mom’s cooking……it is often the sign of food allergies. If your child is in the process of overcoming autism, this is very likely the case.Early in my daycare career, I had a little girl who had a sudden change in her behavior. Her sleep patterns changed; she became moody, and she had sudden outbursts of anger. Her parents took her to the doctor and the sleep disorder center but had no results. I knew that she was dealing with some form of pain because she would sit down, bend over, and hit her forehead on the floor, or beat on her own leg with hard toys… like blocks. One day as her mom carried her out to the car, she pulled out a handful of hair and handed it | | By: Whole Food And More | | |

| Surviving Outdoor Allergies Naturally | | 2008-04-26 10:21:00 | | Spring means many different things, to many different people. For individuals who live with seasonal outdoor allergies, it means finding a way to cope with months of discomfort every time they step outside. Each year, millions of allergy sufferers instinctively reach for over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs as their first line of defense. Unfortunately, not all users take the time to read and fully understand the potential side effects of these chemicals.Allergy medications work by suppressing the immune system to prevent the release of a substance called histamine. Under certain circumstances, haphazardly taking these medications could pose a significant health threat to individuals with a compromised immune system. Surprisingly, very few people are even aware that there are natural compounds available to help support healthy histamine and immune system response.

| | | Pet Allergies | | 2008-04-18 05:22:15 | | http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/allergies_to_pets/index.htmlThis is a great article I found by the humane society of the United States about allergies to pets. What a cruel world it is that people can be allergic to our furry friends. I know the feeling….I’m allergic to cats and went for allergy shots (as mentioned in the article) to help lessen the burden. Though I can be around cats for a little while without too much reaction, long-term exposure causes issues for me and therefore I can’t have a kitty. I’ve read that children who are brought up with pets have less issues with allergies, but it didn’t work for me as we always had cats and dogs around. Luckily, I can still have a dog with no issues.The article is long, but worth the read. | | By: Pets Knowledge | | |
| | Diagnosis of Pet Food Allergies | | 2008-04-18 05:20:05 | | Although the best way to be sure is to check with a vet, peteducation.com has some good tips on diagnosing food allergies in pets.The diagnosis for food allergies is very straightforward. But due to the fact that many other problems can cause similar symptoms and that many times animals are suffering from more problems than just food allergies, it is very important that all other problems are properly identified and treated prior to undergoing diagnosis for food allergies. Once all other causes have been ruled out or treated, then it is time to perform a food trial.A food trial consists of feeding a cat a novel food source of protein and carbohydrate for 12 weeks. A novel food source would be a protein and carbohydrate that the animal had never eaten before. An example would be duck and potato, or venison and potato. These diets are available commercially, or could be homemade. This must be the only thing the animal eats for 12 weeks. No treats and nothing from the table.

| | Cleaning mattress pads to lessen allergies | | 2007-06-13 18:53:36 | | I know we’ve shared a number of tips in the past…but one more is never gonna hurt anybody, right? This article has some worthy tips regarding mattress pad cleaning.
You will want to dry your down mattress pad, comforter, or pillow on the “hot” setting on your dryer. With pillows, especially, you may want to stop the dryer periodically to take out and fluff the pillows. You can also hang them out to dry in the hot sun, but you will still want to shake, fluff and change hanging directions occasionally.
If you have latex or memory foam pillows or mattress topper, you need to hand wash these items every 6 months or so. Once again, use liquid detergent instead of soap, as soap is much more difficult to remove. Squeeze the foam pillow or mattress topper until they are full of the sudsy water. Then rinse until clear, being careful not to twist or wring the foam. If you use some vinegar during the rinse process, the detergent will dissolve much faster.

| | Allergies And Perfume | | 2007-06-12 21:16:55 | | There are various elements that are considered in the preparation of any perfume. If you are buying perfume, it is worth being able to understand what the perfume manufacturer displays on the bottle. To make the right choice, it is worth knowing what to look for. No one would eat food that was not clearly labelled, yet many people are uncertain of their perfume ingredients or the preparation methods that create them. This is particularly important in modern times when pollution levels have increased sensitivity and allergy levels.Firstly, the concentrate of the blend of the perfume that you choose has a high impact on allergies. If you have intolerance to the ingredients that create the fragrance, then you can control this to a degree. The lowest concentrated blend is found in Eau de Cologne, which has a maximum of 5% pure perfume ingredients. This means that any reaction will be minimal in comparison to the other strength perfumes that are available. The next lowest strength perfume i | | By: PoloMercantil Informative Articles | | |
