Paracetamol in early infancy: the risk of childhood allergy and asthma

Mon, 18 Oct 2010 23:28:00 GMT

In a recently published study Norwegian researchers found that use of paracetamol in the first trimester doubled the risk of development of allergic rhinitis at the age of 10 for both boys and girls, and in girls it increased the risk of allergy and asthma if used until the age of 6 months. The main author, Bakkeheim, states that the effect of Paracetamol is the opposite of the effect of antioxydants, and that it therefore weakens the body's ability to defend itself against oxydative stress. International studies have shown that the risk of developing asthma, hayfeverand eczema by the age of 6-7 years is tripled if children are given paracetamol before they are one years of age.

Michael Teut, Rainer Lüdtke, Katharina Schnabel, Stefan N Willich, Claudia M Witt.

A total of 83 patients were included in the subgroup analysis (41% men, mean age 73.2 ± (SD) 3.1 years; 59% women, 74.3 ± 3.8 years). 98.6 percent of all diagnoses were chronic with an average duration of 11.5 ± 11.5 years. 82 percent of the patients were taking medication at baseline. The most frequent diagnoses were hypertension (20.5%, 11.1 ± 7.5 years) and sleep disturbances (15.7%, 22.1 ± 25.8 years). The severity of complaints decreased significantly between baseline and 24 months in both patients (from 6.3 (95% CI: 5.7-6.8) to 4.6 (4.0-5.1), p < 0.001) and physicians’ assessments (from 6.6 (6.0-7.1) to 3.7 (3.2-4.3), p < 0.001); quality of life (SF 36) and the number of medicines taken did not significantly change.

Homeopathy and Gout

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:59:00 GMT

Gout is one form of an arthritic inflammation wherein deposits of uric acid form hard nodules in tissues.

The most common site for gout is in the first metatarsal of the big toe, but it can also affect the joints of the feet, ankles, and knees. Homeopathic remedies will be suggested, with their corresponding indications, which may help people experiencing gout.
