Spring is a time of misery for many children as grass pollen counts - the most common trigger for hay fever - rise and symptoms become ever more frequent and severe. According to a recent study, American kids are more likely to be affected than those born outside the US.

The findings, which may surprise many, do not just apply to pollen allergy but also asthma and allergies to other allergens including animal dander, dust and even foods. Current official figures show that roughly 11% of children living in the US suffer from asthma, and up to 20% may experience allergic reactions to one or more allergens such as those mentioned above.

Introduction to Brain Retraining Programs

In recent years a number of programs or systems referred to variously as brain retraining, amygdala retraining, or limbic system retraining, have been developed to help people recover from a wide range of chronic multi-system illnesses including multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia, and electrical hypersensitivity (EHS).
