I see heaps of Asthmatic cases and it's honestly heartbreaking to see these children in distress.
So let me explain a little bit of why this is happening.
We are made up of a huge diversity of microbes - viruses, bacterias, fungi, parasites, etc.
Microbes evolve from the time we are born. We rapidly accumulate microbes in the first few years of life. The distribution of microbes in respiratory or gastrointestinal tract at age 3 resembles closely to that of an adult. Though the function of that microbiome is very different from that of an adult. It is influenced by a whole range of exposures pharmaceuticals and anti microbial can have profound effects on the microbiome.
There's a growing body of evidence that early life microbiota predicts atopy, asthma development, influences metabolism and impacts immune function. In a study done by UCSF, they observed in a cohort of 120 one month old infants there were 3 distinct states of gut microbiome and one of them was associated with a significantly increased risk of developing "ALLERGIES" and "ASTHMA" years later in childhood, the one that got destroyed by pharmaceutical agents. In another study done in Manitoba Canada of a cohort of over 13,116 children it was going that independent of well-known asthma risk factors, asthma was significantly more likely to develop in children who had received antibiotics in the first year of life at age 7 years. The association with asthma was observed for antibiotic use in non-respiratory tract infections.
Most parents seem to worry about every little illness/ indisposition of their children. It's right to worry but wrong to medicate them at the drop of a hat to allay your anxiety. There are a handful of serious conditions that warrant urgent antibiotics/medications in the first year of life.
Homoeopathy therefore plays a hugely important role in bridging that gap where minor ailments can be effectively addressed and unnecessary pharmaceutical use can be minimized in the first few years of a child's life. And with that allergies can be minimized too!
Also bowel nosodes are Homoeopathic remedies made from bacterias found in the stool and help repopulating the good bacteria.
