Millions of Americans, over 50% of the population in fact, suffer from one or more allergies. While many of these allergies are decidedly mild, such as hay fever allergies, allergies to a certain mold that can be avoided, latex allergies which result in itching hives, metal allergies to complexes made by physical contact with copper or aluminum, or dust mite allergies which require the purchase of hypoallergenic mattress covers to forestall reactions, others are serous, scary, and life threatening.

Thousands every year perish as a result of peanut allergies or shellfish reactions, almost always after eating something that was not labeled to contain the risky food. Still others die because they are given an antibiotic or some other type of medication which their immune system sees as being dangerous or hostile, or they die simply because the doctors know well enough that they can’t be given that particular drug and back up medications are less effective.

It may surprise many to know that these allergies are not, in and of themselves, the result of a broken bodily system. Rather, the immune system keeps us alive but can become mis-targeted due to its complexity and a certain amount of random chance and genetic predisposition. Once the body sees these compounds as threatening, whether it be a certain kind of soap or bee venom (which is designed to cause a reaction) or latex or copper/aluminum compounds, it pulls no punches in dealing with it when they are located. This damages the body itself with the severity of the warfare.

Perhaps the best treatment for allergies is prevention. And it is rather counterintuitive. Before the body is set in its ways it needs to see as many harmless compounds as possible. So let your baby play in the dirt, expose it to nature. A little dirt can help temper the immune system for years and years to come.

When the first smokeless cigarettes came out in the 1980′s they were pretty sad. I mean I love an e-cigarette and all but the first one was so bad it had to be taken off the market. It tasted like charcoal! People thought e-cigarettes would never catch on, but they were wrong.

Now of course smokeless cigarette has improved dramatically. There are no longer taste issues. Technology has gotten better and the nicotine solution can be heated and misted efficiently with no aftertaste. This means that taking a hit off an electric cigarette tastes as good as a real cigarette. They are available in menthol, and there are different kinds that mimic leading brands of cigarettes so you can get the exact taste you’re used to. Plus if you are adventurous there are many other flavors that normal cigarettes don’t come in: berry, orange, rum, you name it.

They are also more convenient these days. An electric cigarette has to have a battery, a cartridge of solution, and something to “atomize” or mist the solution. In the past these components were expensive and hard to find. Now most brands use common components, and the cost has come way down. In fact the cost to make them is so cheap that you can literally buy disposable ones.

If you are a smoker, you should really consider making the switch to e-cigarettes. It is a great way to get your smoke break in without risking all the diseases and issues of a traditional cigarette. Give it a try!
