Old AD Patients Are Increasing |
Recent Japanese research revealed increasing numbers of Atopic Dermatitis(AD) patients in middle and old age. (Patients Survey 1999 & 2011 by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare)
Compared the result of 2011 with that of 2011, nearly three and a half times as many as AD patients visit hospitals in their age of forties, fifties and sixties.
About thirty years ago, doctors used to say,
1)Congenital factors may have increased.
1) Current medical fashion emphasize weakened skin barrier of AD patients related to filaggrin gene mutation. Nevertheless, some AD patients show tremendous allergic reactions from the very beginning of their lives and most AD patients need topical corticosteroids or tacrolimus to soothe preexisting skin inflammation due to allergic reactions even if they eagerly protect their skin by continuous moisturizing.
Since the records of sensitized allergens last all life long, those informations might be heritable to their descendants. Both dermal and allergic constitutions are succeeded as amplifying.
2) Experiments on animals showed reduced skin barriers under stressed conditions.
3) Multiple products are produced daily based on enormous industrial progress.
4) Even if those things do not exert allergic reactions, they may act toxic in our bodies.
5) In this high-civilized society, we live less natural.
And, authorized dermatologists and allergists never admit 6).
In this way, we have to consider multiple factors to contribute the deterioration of today's AD.
Don't be discouraged if a single strategy seems not to be effective to your current AD symptoms.
Your struggles are never in vain because they should reduce some of your worsening factors, even if you cannot see an obvious effect now. I am presently working as an dermatologist as well as an alternative medicine therapist to help those difficult AD patients in above 1) aspect, which has traditionary been cureless, by Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques(NAET) practice.
We must live accepting these given bodies in this our world.
Do the best you can, leaving your fate to Heaven. 2013.07.@@ |
