New drugs to treat allergies are safe: expert

With millions of people suffering from different allergies worldwide,
an expert has said that new generation anti-histamine drugs to treat
them are safe, effective and do not produce sedative effect.
In an interview with The Hindu in connection with a prestigious global
medical conference being hosted atHyderabad International Convention
Centre (HICC) here by the World Allergy Organisation (WAO), Dr. Ruby
Pawankar, the first woman to head the 35,000-member body has dismissed
as non-scientific the treatment of fish medicine to treat asthma.
'Severe allergies, Severe Asthma: New Strategies forOptimal Treatment
and Prevention' is the theme ofthe four-day event beginning on
December 6. Superior infrastructure facilities at HICC and the
presence of a number of good hospitals has enabledHyderabad to bag the
event over three other cities, according to Dr. Pawankar. Around 2,500
delegates, including 70 world-renowned experts, are expected to attend
the conference. A medical graduate of the Armed Forces Medical
College, Pune, she is living in Japan since 20 years. Excerpts:
Q: Which is the most common form of allergy
Around 400 million people across the globe suffer from nasal allergy,
followed by 300 million from asthma and 200 million are affected by
food allergies. We presumethe number of those affected by asthma is
under-estimated. All over the world around 2.5 lakh people die of
asthma annually. The other types of allergies are those relating to
skin, insects andoccupation among others.
What are the reasons for rise in asthma cases
Asthma cases are indeed increasing. An internationalstudy of asthma
and allergies in children found that there was a doubling of asthma in
developing countries. Allergies are becoming more complex and severe.
Causes could be many, including genetic,lifestyle-related, food
allergy and environmental and what is called "hygiene hypothesis".
Allergens are increasing due to global warming. Climate change and
global warming is having an impact on migration of allergens.
Your views on the treatment protocol for allergies
First generation anti-histamine drugs whichcause sedation are no
longer recommended. We recommend second generation drugs which don't
have sedative effect. They are safe and effective.Nasal and skin
allergies arecontrolled by these drugs. Also the newer inhalers
containing steroids are safe.
What is WAO's role in combating various types ofallergies?
WAO is leveraging internationally with various ministries of health,
the UN and WHO to bring allergies on the agenda of Non-Communicable
Diseases (NCDs) along with diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular and other
ailments. More resources could be garnered if it is declared as an
NCD. Deaths due to allergies and asthma are unwarranted. We have to
partner to make a reduction in burden of allergic diseases.
How well-developed is the discipline of allergies treatment in India?
It is not well-developed in India. WAO is working closely with Union
Ministry of Health to make this a full-fledged specialty. WAO has
prepared a position paper on the syllabus for post-graduate and
under-graduate courses.
What is your view on fish medicine treatment for asthma?
I have heard about it and feel it is absolutely non-scientific and has
no scientific basis. Let someone furnish scientific data on how it
cures asthma and I will then believe it.

Why are you Muslim?

'Why are you Muslim?' It may sound like an obviousquestion, but often
many of us don't have a clear answer to it. I remember being asked
this question by my elder brother when I was fourteen years of age, my
initial answer was'Well, our family is Muslim', his reply to this made
me think, he said, 'If your family were Hindu or Christian, would you
be as well?'. I replied with a strong 'No, Islam is the truth', the
discussion that followed made me question the basis of my life and
changed my life for ever. He triggered me to think about how to prove
that Islam is the truth rather than just believing it emotionally
orblindly. In fact Allah (swt) has condemned people forimitating their
forefathers and adopting their belief without clear evidence.
In the Holy Qur'an, He (swt) says:
"And verily guess is no substitute for the truth." [TMQ 53:28]
"They have no (certain) knowledge. They follow nothing but conjecture.
For surely; they killed him not ('Isa)." [TMQ 4:157]
"These are nothing but names which you have devised, you and your
fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow
nothing but conjecture and what their Nafs desire.Even though there
has already come to them the Guidance from their Rabb"[TMQ 53:23]
"Do you have Ilm (knowledge) for that which you claim so that you
provide us with? You follow nothing but conjecture (Zann)." [TMQ
6:148]
The followers of other religions have no decisive proof for their
belief, therefore they believe in their religions emotionallyor
through imitation. Some of them think that you just have to have
faithwithout clear proof. However when it comes tonormal things in
life people apply a lot of thought such as buying a car, house,
choosing a University course or whichbank to join, so how can itbe
that when it comes to the most important questions about life; which
define the purpose of our lives that we shouldjust have 'faith'
without being convinced absolutely.
It is therefore vital for a Muslim to believe in the existence of
Allah (swt) without any doubt whatsoever and to believein the
Prophethood of Muhammad (saw) and that the Qur'an is the final
revelation sent by Allah (swt) to humanity. Islam isunlike all the
other religions as it has a decisive proof that convinces the mind.

It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar Consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients
causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling
polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing
about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6 . Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivationfrom sleep will
accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head Covered While Sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon
dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain
damaging effects.
8. Working Your Brain During Illness
