Asthma inflames the airways, affecting approximately 300 million individuals worldwide, with the incidence rate increasing by 50% every decade and causing over 180,000 deaths per year. The exact cause of Asthma can vary, but viral infections, allergens, tobacco smoke, exercise, stress, and obesity are known risk factors that can trigger or worsen symptoms. Childhood "waxs" and their timing have also been linked to some cases of Asthma. However, several studies indicate that exclusive breastfeeding during the first three months after birth reduces Asthma risk by 30% due to the immunomodulatory properties of breast milk. For those currently suffering from Asthma, there are natural remedies that can help relieve symptoms. Below are some proven ways to do so.

When I first took EDTA I really had to search and ask to get some real advice on how to use it. I can now say I know how to use it... for me, we will all respond differently. But at least I can talk from experience and I did so much learning on this that it should serve you in some way. First off EDTA stands for Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. It is a water-soluble molecule that can bind to various metal ions in a reversible way. It is mainly used as a chelating agent, which means that it can form a complex with metal ions by enclosing them within its ring structure.

Eczema is not a single condition but a group of skin conditions with various types such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema, hand eczema, neurodermatitis, nummular eczema, and stasis dermatitis. Eczema is common in young children and is becoming more prevalent, a bit like everything else!. Although some may outgrow it, it can come and go throughout life. Identifying triggers and learning how to treat eczema is vital. Many causes and risk factors contribute to eczema such as genetics, allergies, dry or sensitive skin, immune system dysfunction, environmental conditions, chronic stress, and temperature changes.

I wanted to write about this supplement because I've just started a cycle of it. Spermidine interestingly named right, anyway it's a polyamine compound found in all living cells and has gained much attention due to its potential anti-ageing benefits. It is abundant in foods such as soybeans, wheat germ (where the supplement we have gets it from), and mushrooms, as well as in the human body. Originally discovered in the 17th century, spermidine's potential benefits have been of interest in the fields of biochemistry and cell biology.

I started Ancient Purity in 2010 and several years before that I was using supplements, but it even starts before that. If we count herbal remedies and homeopathy, I was using them - I should say they were given to me when I was a kid. I've always known herbs, supplements etc as medicine, one of my earliest memories is visiting these magical places in the 80s and getting homeopathy, I think I've even tried to make Ancient Purity look like those bohemian houses I remember. My point is that I know supplements and would like to explain them and give advice on how to use them correctly.
