New Science: Farms Help Prevent Allergies from Birth

Science Daily amalgamates headlines.  

.

Recently....children raised on dairy farms have fewer allergies, even in the womb, than other children. 

 "A study by researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, monitored children until the age of three to examine maturation of the immune system in relation to allergic disease. All of the children lived in rural areas of the Västra Götaland Region, half of them on farms that produced milk."

Lower risk of allergy

The study found that children on dairy farms ran a much lower risk of developing allergies than the other children.

"Our study also demonstrated for the first time that delayed maturation of the immune system, specifically B-cells, is a risk factor for development of allergies," says Anna-Carin Lundell, one of the researchers.

Children raised on farms with livestock are healthier, "It is extremely exciting that we can now see that not only allergic diseases, but also more classic inflammatory diseases appear to depend on the environment we are exposed to early in our lives," relates Vivi Schlünssen, Associate Professor in Public Health at Aarhus University.

NYT article, so long ago I cut/pasted it into a file with real tape/paper, reported a study indicating plants emit wavelengths we absorb thru our skin and can increase white blood cell counts in those with cancer.  No ridiculous Nature blah-blah- is so pretty it makes me happy and healthy stuff.  Science, proving plants affect our health.

LISTEN
	Solitude by Alexander Pope Happy the man, whose wish and care A few paternal acres bound, Content to breathe his native air               In his own ground. Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread, Whose flocks supply him with attire; Whose trees in summer yield him shade,               In winter, fire. Blest, who can unconcernedly find Hours, days, and years slide soft away In health of body, peace of mind;               Quiet by day. Sound sleep by night; study and ease Together mixed, sweet recreation, And innocence, which most does please               With meditation. Thus let me live, unseen, unknown; Thus unlamented let me die, Steal from the world, and not a stone               Tell where I lie. "Solitude" by Alexander Pope. Public Domain.
