I have been communicating with him by email. He has found that particulates

from dairy farms cause a much greater degree of inflammation when compared to

the particles in indoor air that he has researched so far. The power point is

available by clicking on it. He also said that LPS (endotoxin) is very

inflammatory. I have suggested that he look into water-damaged homes and

buildings. We will see.

Study finds cause of allergic reaction could be growing in your lungs

Scientists investigating the allergic reactions that asthmatics suffer towards

a common mold/mould have discovered that many people with asthma actually had

the mold/mould growing in their own lungs.

The research led by University of Leicester scientists at Glenfield Hospital

has been published in the December 2010 issue of the American Journal of

Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

The team based in the Institute for Lung Health at the University of Leicester

and Glenfield Hospital examined the impact on asthmatics of a common

environmental mold/mould, Aspergillus fumigates, usually found in soil and

compost heaps.

Professor Andy Wardlaw from the University of Leicester said: " Asthma is a

very common condition where the breathing tubes (bronchi) can go into spasm

making it difficult to breathe. Around a fifth of adults with severe asthma,

which they have had for a long time, get permanent (fixed) narrowing of their

bronchi. It is known that A. fumigatus can grow in the lungs of some people with

asthma and mold/mould allergy, which can cause severe lung damage.

" This problem is thought to only affect a very small number of people with

asthma; however, about half of people with severe asthma have evidence of

allergy to moulds like A. fumigatus. "

Researchers in the Institute for Lung Health at the University of Leicester

and Glenfield Hospital, Leicester, carried out a study funded by the Midlands

Asthma and Allergy Research Association (MAARA, a Midlands based charity funding

research into asthma and allergy research. www.maara.org) and the European

Regional Development Fund (ERDF), to determine whether the problem of A.

fumigatus growing in the lungs is more common than previously thought, and

whether this could explain the fixed narrowing of the airways that occurs in

some people with asthma.

Professor Wardlaw added: " Our study showed that 6 out of 10 people with asthma

who were allergic to A. fumigatus grew the mould from their sputum. We also

found that if you were allergic to A. fumigatus you had more narrowing of the

airways than if you were not allergic, and this was worse in patients from whom

A. fumigatus was grown.

" Our research concluded that it is possible that fixed narrowing of breathing

tubes in many people with asthma could be caused by A. fumigatus growing in

their lungs.

" Treating individuals from whom A. fumigatus is detected with antibiotics

against the mould may prevent fixed narrowing of the airways. "

At the end of KC's article it says may be helpful to treat A Fumigas w

antibiotics against the mold. It that use of 'antibiotics', do they mean

antifungals as another way of expressing " antiobiotics against mold " or can

anti-bacterials, what most people consider when refering to antiobiotics, be

helpful?

Barb: I trust he does not use antibiotics for A. fumigatus. However, I am

trying to obtain the full paper to see what they actually do administer.

Thanks KC, that would explain some of it. seems plausable that also with the WDB

exposure and toxins,ect. involved the RAD would just complicate this even more.

still wonder, is the caughing and airways closeing up more of a defence reaction

or is it a reaction based on irritation, or both. I guess anything that

irritates would trigger the reaction, seems like the caughing is a effort to rid

the lungs of whatever your breathing in , maybe it's a defence and the closeing

up of airways is more of a reaction, I guess.

some of the first information I found on the sinus/olfactory damage was from a

few studies of people who worked in feed lots.

some of those, when you ride past them with this illness you better not be

driveing.

Please, let us know if you find out Jack, I was wondering about the possability

of maybe putting a few drops of my antifungal nasal spray in my neubulizer ?

presciption from Dr. Gray.

do you think this might be worth a try?

If you have nasal sinus congestion it would probably help.

The antifungal nasal spray travels downs into your lungs with your mucus . 

Just make sure you nebulize the glutithione

a: I suggest that you ask Dr. Gray. You are now asking me modify a

medial treatment, which is up to a M.D. to do.

[Guest guest]

and of course we should all consult our doctors about specific

treatments that are right for us, if we have the funds, and of course

the doctors frequently don't even agree, dr gray had my son nebulizing

glutathione, dr rea thinks it can irritate and damage the lungs, so

whose advise do you follow, we stopped it because it didn't seem to be

helping him at all anyway...

No I'm not,  I was clarifying to Jeanine that her nasal spray makes it down

slowly into her lungs.  So there would be no need to nebulize

I know it makes it there to some extent, I just wondered if it might help if got

deeper into the lungs, or if it wouyld by useing the neubulaizer.
