Childhood allergy epidemic on the rise worldwide 24 Aug 2006 23:01:21 GMT Source: Reuters By Ben Hirschler LONDON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Childhood allergies are on the rise around the world, including in many developing countries where asthma, eczema and hay fever are emerging as important public health problems, scientists said on Friday. Asthma, in particular, is responsible for millions of children missing school, ending up in

hospital or even dying. The underlying cause of the condition is inflammation of the airways but just what triggers the problem and why some people develop asthma and others do not is still poorly understood. What is clear, however, is that more and more young children are suffering allergic disorders, with the prevalence of all allergies increasing notably in the past decade. http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L24535162.htm "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquest of life by the power of the spirit." - Aurobindo.
