NEW LOWER PRICE! Removing your carpets eliminates
a major source of dustmite infestation. But the hard floors

your hard floors effortlessly gleaming and free of dust. Its
gentle fibres won't scratch your floor and dust is simply swooshed
up by the vacuum.

HAYFEVER
DESENSITISATION. If you have been following our homeopathic
Hayfever
Desensitisation programme you can stop taking the pollens
now that the last of the weed pollen season is over. Remember
to start the second year of desensitization treatment in January
or February when the tree pollens start to become airborne. I
will put a reminder in the newsletter.If your symptoms persist
you may be suffering from perennial (rather than seasonal) rhinitis.
For perennial rhinitis we recommend the Medinose
Phototherapy unit as an effective treatment for this condition.
Our popular Nasal
Spa irrigator can bring welcome relief for ongoing symptoms.

EU legislates on ‘gluten-free’ labelling.
The EU has passed new food labelling legislation aimed at protecting
people with coeliac disease. In future people seeing food labelled
‘gluten-free’ will know that the finished product
does not contain gluten exceeding 20 parts per million - a level
thought to be safe for most people with coeliac disease. The
on-pack statement ‘very low gluten’ will indicate
that the level is within 100 parts per million. Food businesses
have three years to comply with the new regulation.
|
| |
|
|
|
Half
a million people in the UK are likely to have coeliac
disease, triggered by a reaction to gluten in wheat, rye, barley
and oats. A worrying 4 out of 5 of them don’t know that
this is the reason for their symptoms and around 1 in 10 have
been incorrectly diagnosed as having IBS. Now, leading charity
Coeliac UK have launched an online petition to ask the government
to improve the rates of diagnosis of coeliac disease. |
|
| |
The aim is to see a target included in the Quality and Outcomes
Framework for GPs so that they have to deliver better rates
of diagnosis of the condition. This would reduce the risk of
long term health problems due to individuals being undiagnosed
for a long time. Please help by signing the petition online
here.
Meanwhile, Coeliac UK have welcomed a new home
test kit for gluten intolerance as a first step in diagnosis.
The simple finger-prick blood test gives accurate results in
5 minutes that can then be shown to your GP. Please click here
for more information and to buy and click here for a copy of
the bestselling Gluten-free
Cooking (£5.99) written in association with Coeliac
UK.

Nut allergy 'hits Asian children'.
A disproportionately high number of Asian children are being
diagnosed with nut allergy, a leading expert says. Dr Abbass
Khakoo, medical director at London's Hillingdon Hospital, is
a specialist in food allergies. He said children from ethnic
minorities were over-represented at his two London clinics.
He has found children from ethnic backgrounds appear to display
symptoms of nut allergies at a younger age than their white
counterparts.
|
|
| |
Guys
and St Thomas hospital in London, which has a large allergy clinic,
has also reported that they are seeing higher numbers of Asian
children who have nut allergies. Dr Khakoo has called for further
research to find out why more Asian children appear to be developing
nut allergies.Raam Uthayanan, 16, from Pinner in West London,
was recently diagnosed with a nut allergy. He said: "Usually
my throat closes up, sometimes I may vomit and sometimes my face
and lips swell up." Raam began to have reaction to foods
containing nuts from the age of four or five.
He was frequently sick,
but his father Sunthar thought he did not like nuts and was lying
about feeling unwell. "He had some sort of a problem when
he was 10 and when I gave him nutty cornflakes he vomited. But
at that time it did not click."
It was only recently when
Raam fell ill at school after eating a cake that he was taken
to hospital and his allergy was identified.family finally realised
he was allergic to nuts. Cakes, biscuits, cereals and in particular
take away food are all thought to be high risk, but Raam said
a number of home cooked Sri Lankan dishes also contain nuts and
he must now avoid them. "There are quite a lot of curries
that have nuts just to decorate them," he said. "I always
have to ask what's in the food before eating it, sometimes at
people's house I have to avoid curries that look so good but contain
nuts." |

The
joy of a Spundown Duo-Duvet is that you can control the
weight and warmth of your bedding according to the seasons. As
autumn approaches I’m changing the 4tog part of our Spundown
Duo-Duvet for the warmer 9 tog duvet. Later on as winter arrives,
I’ll clip both duvets together to give 13.5 togs of cosy
cover. Spundown Duo-Duvets are beautifully made in England with
a specially fine microfiber filling that makes them highly compressible.
This means that any size - single, double or queen - will fit
in your home washing machine for laundering to keep them free
of dustmites and allergens. They are also excellent value for
money, starting at only £69 for a single size. If you’re
looking for a new duvet, check out the Spundown
Duo-Duvet here. |
