2 min - May 31, 2007

FDA APPROVES XYZAL(levocetirizine dihydrochloride) TABLETS FOR THE RELIEF OF SEASONAL AND YEAR ROUND ALLERGIES, AND CHRONIC HIVES The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has just approved Xyzal, a new once-daily prescription antihistamine that delivers a rapid and long-lasting effect for the relief of symptoms associated with seasonal and year round allergies and chronic hives in adults and children six years of age and older. Estimates from the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology suggest that allergies affect as many as 40 to 50 million people in the United States. As modern living has become more complex, so have allergies with the disease and subsequent allergy seasons becoming longer and more severe. Among others, outdoor pollution, indoor air quality problems, and exposure to airborne and food allergens are all playing a role in the surge in allergies. Xyzal once-daily tablets are expected to be available during the 2007 fall allergy season.

 Ayurvedic medicine,ancient Indian wisdom enables one to lead a graceful, harmonious and vigorous life free of any disorders including gluten allergy. Ayurveda, a prehistoric healing system, to live a healthy life, advises us to modify our activities which will be in rhythm with the nature.

Gluten allergy is a condition of the digestive system resulting in the poor absorption of certain nutrients.

Individuals who are intolerant to gluten, a protein, which is mostly found in wheat related products are mostly affected by this allergy.Ayurveda believes that pitta dosha vitiation is also one of the main reason and hence provides herbal medicines for pacifying it.

Some of the suggested medicines are as below :

Commonly used medicines are Chiruvilwadi qwath, Chithragrandyadi qwath, Chitrakadi qwath, Kalyana gulam, Agasthaya rasayan, Kooshmanda rasayan etc.

These medicines increase the digestive quality and toxins are not produced after the digestion of gluten diet.

The medicines will subside the allergic reactions in due course. Strict diet restrictions should be followed during the medication. Regular internal purification process advised by a qualified Ayurvedic doctor should be performed in regular intervals.

Tripala acts as an alkalyzer and if taken regularly helps to balance the vitiated pitta which is an acid base disorder. But it has to be accompanied by the gluten free diet and lifestyle during the treatment period.

Best detoxifying ayurvedic medicine is a balanced infusion of organic herbs and spice like rosemary, ginger, orange, turmeric, aloe vera and lime.

Panchakola ( herbal combination )when added with the gluten free soups is excellent remedy. It also recommends parpati kalpa which along with a strict gluten free diet is very helpful.

Buttermilk is the best appetizer and can be taken in any quantity aids in fast recovery of the disease. In order to make the digestive agni stronger one has to take a dose of ghee mixed with appetizing ayurvedic herbal formulations.

Gluten allergy is a malabsorption syndrome which is caused by the ingestion of the gluten protein found in the wheat products. If the patient’s sticks on to the gluten free diet then there is a drastic improvement in his condition.

Ayurveda suggests the following modified diet and lifestyle:

Wheat, rye, barley, oats and other related grains contain gluten and it better to avoid it totally. Avoid taking beer, cereal beverages, cakes, biscuits, ice-cream, processed soups, crackers, processed cheese/meats, candy bars.

Instead one may substitute rice, potato, corn,tapioca,

chickpea, soya beans,arrowroot,carob,buckwheat,millet,

amaranth and quinoa and gluten free flour.

Few of the gluten free foods and beverages are- tea, cofee, rum, wines, jellybabies, choclates, fresh fruits/ vegetables/ fish/ meat/ poultry/ eggs,popcorn,

jam honey and sugar.

Take a lot of leafy green vegetables by cooking them in an appropriate manner and it has a lot of minerals which improves metabolism.

One may start with eating his favorite naturally gluten-free foods and then later add his unfavourite ones.

To mention few : Wines and brandies without any preservatives and dyes in it. Gluten-free breads which

has an easily digestible base ingredients like rice flours etc. All hard cheeses like cheddar, swiss, edam, and parmesan.

Fresh brewed coffee, chocolate made with cocoa, fruit juices etc.Regarding snacks one may take rice wafers, potato or corn starch based chips, popcorn etc. In Sweets one may include sugar, honey, maple syrup, jellies, jams etc.

One has to take care while buying bakery products and packed/processed food by inspecting the labels and avoid the products if it has gluten as its ingredient.

Sometimes alternative names such as cereal products or emulsifiers, stabilizers, are also used in labels.

Always try to eat home made preparations where you will know the ingredients of your intake. Also note that if you have to avoid all the foods with gluten, it is definitely going to be so stressful which can be managed by yoga which comprises of postures,meditation and breathing techniques.

Ayurvedic medicine recommends focusing on stress reduction and do detoxification according to ones body constitution and lead an easy life free of tension.

Allergy Asthma

atlanta allergy and asthma clinic

By Jack Sands

 I was born and raised in the heart of the Deep South. From as far back as I can remember I remember long summer afternoons spent drinking iced tea and shelling peas and butterbeans on my grandmother’s porch. I have moved on from my roots and have made my way into other regions of the world. One thing, however, that has remained constant in my life is my deep and abiding love for southern cooking and cuisine.

I was probably well into my teen years before I realized that tea could be served any other way than loaded with sugar and over ice. It was about that same time that I realized some folks would eat vegetables that hadn’t been soaked in batter, dredged in cornmeal, and deep fat fried. Southern cooking is not for the faint of heart though it can cause many hearts to grow faint. One thing that can be said is that you’ll never find anything else like it on earth.

People in the south learned to make do with little in many instances. Some of the poorest people in America live in the southern part of the country. Of course, you will find that many of these people despite their poverty are also among the most generous. The same can be said of food. It’s the one thing that seems to be in ample supply in most southern homes and very few will turn you away with an empty stomach.

Perhaps it’s the seasonings that are often used when cooking southern food. From the crab boil and gumbo file of Cajun Cuisine to the secret ingredient that almost every southern kitchen contains for their fried chicken recipes (and no one on earth can fry chicken like a born and bred southern grandma). Perhaps it’s the Sunday church dinners where everyone shares a little of what they have with others or the love that goes into preparing these meals that are shared with friends and family. Whatever the case may be, if you ever have the occasion to experience real southern cooking, do not pass it up. You might shave a day off your life, but a good southern fried chicken leg is really living and well worth the sacrifice if you ask me.

Of course it would be remiss to mention southern cooking without bringing up some of the more delicious desserts that seem to be perfection for the south. I mentioned banana pudding above but there are so many more. Pralines are a perfect for those living down around New Orleans as is bread pudding. A little to the east there are grandma’s who have taken their lemon icebox pie recipes to the grave with them so coveted were these delicious deserts and the same holds true for pecan pies as well. We should never forget the flavorful Mississippi Mud cake though, and so many other wonderfully delicious treats that southern cooking has introduced to the world at large.

Favorite vegetables in the heart of the south as I mentioned above included peas and butterbeans, snap beans, corn, summer squash (after all, it’s summer all year in the south), and okra (fried or boiled in many southern kitchens). Not all vegetables were deep fried though few were off limits. I remember eating my share of fried okra, fried squash, and yes, fried green tomatoes. Life was good back when calories weren’t counted and no one really worried about clogging arteries. While I wouldn’t make these a daily dish in any household, I certainly would recommend trying them out if you ever find the opportunity.

Another great thing about southern cooking is the wonderful fried seafood that seems to abound. From fried fish (almost any variety works well when it’s southern fried) to fried oysters, seafood just seems to taste so much better in the south. If you are hoping to learn some of the southern cooking and cuisine you will most likely need to order your spices and have them shipped unless your grocery store has a rather extensive ‘exotic’ foods selection. You can sometimes find great southern seasonings on the International food aisles in grocery stores as well. If you want to really treat your family to an outstanding meal, you should really try southern cooking for the night.
