The NIH now states that they do not know what may be causing the

increase in allergic symptoms among the general polulation

Could this be due to a dramatic increase in the amount of dust mites,

which they identitfied as being having the greatest overall incidence

for the subject group? Considering the degree of cleanliness that

modern homes exhibit, this seems unlikely.

They also cite the possibility that by staying indoors more, children

are exposed to fewer bacteria and viruses, which could then create

atopy -- but this theory is then countered by proposing that more

indoor residence time could expose people to allergens, with the same

effect.

Suregon General Carmona announced last month that asthma is

now a national health emergency. He also provided no theory as

to what may now be causing 1 in 8 schoolchildren to suffer asthma, up

300% from 20 years ago.

What exactly is the NIH doing with our tax dollars? Why is there

never any theory as to the cause of disease? What is the only

allergen that is being shown to be exploding in prevalence in modern

buildings? One that the NIH has acknowledged to have proven causative

links to asthma?

We have a theory as well!

It's mold in our homes, schools and offices.
