SUNDAY, Jan. 4 (HealthDay News) — An apple a day while you’re pregnant may indeed keep the doctor away. But the real beneficiary could be your unborn child.
Recent research suggests that when moms-to-be eat apples during pregnancy, their offspring have lower rates of asthma.
And, mothers who consume fish during pregnancy may lower their child’s risk of developing the allergic skin condition called eczema.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Contrary to widespread recommendations, the consumption of peanuts in infancy is associated with a low prevalence of peanut allergy, the results of a new study suggest.
“Our study findings raise the question of whether early introduction rather than avoidance of peanut in infancy is the better strategy for the prevention of peanut allergy,” write researchers in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 22 — The number of American kids with food allergies has soared 18 percent in the last decade, with an estimated 4 percent of children and teens now affected with the condition, a new federal report says.
In 2007, approximately 3 million children under the age of 18 were reported to have had a food or digestive allergy in the previous 12 months, compared to slightly more than 2.3 million children (3.3 percent) in 1997, according to the report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Kevin: That’s a neat way to prepare it. Weston Price was a dentist so let’s talk about teeth. And let’s talk about what happens when people’s teeth start to decay. Can you rebuild those and what do you think some of the reasons why their teeth were so good, the cultures who were eating a non-Western diet?
Sally: Well their teeth were normal. I don’t even like to use the word “good”; they’re the way teeth are supposed to be. They were normal. A key nutrient here is vitamin K. Now Dr. Price didn’t know what this vitamin was, he called it activator X, but we have now identified it pretty firmly as vitamin K and we know that people who have a lot of vitamin K in their saliva don’t get cavities. And vitamin K is absolutely necessary for putting calcium in the teeth and bones, calcium and phosphorus. You need vitamin K for that, more than just for healthy blood. We now realize you need vitamin K for healthy teeth and bones.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Indigo naturalis, a dark blue plant used in traditional Chinese medicine, appears to be effective in treating psoriasis, a study in Taiwan has found.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease for which no cure is known, though some therapies bring about a remission. It causes red scaly patches, or plaques, which take on a silvery-white appearance and often occur on the arms, elbows, knees and legs.
A study of the findings of a clinical trial involving 42 patients who had had the condition for at least two years was published in the latest issue of Archives of Dermatology.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Direct administration of an allergen - the substance that triggers an allergic reaction — into the lymph nodes, rather than the skin, reduces both the number and dose of injections required to induce tolerance to the offending substance, researchers report. This appears to offer a rapid, save and effective way to treat IgE-mediated allergies.
We demonstrated that this approach enhanced safety, efficacy, and compliance. The procedure allowed “reduction of the number of injections from 54 to 3, and reduction in the cumulative allergen dose by more than 1000-fold,” Dr. Thomas M. Kundig from University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland, and colleagues write in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.

Child food allergies are up 18% over the last decade, the CDC reports.
Four out of every 100 U.S. kids under age 18 now suffer food allergies, which doubles their risk of asthma and triples their risk of skin or respiratory allergies.
“It is a significant trend — food allergies do appear to be continuously increasing over the decade,” CDC health statistician Amy Barnum, MSPH , tells WebMD. “And if you look at hospital discharges with any diagnosis related to food allergy, there has been a significant increase.”
