Stanford Cures Food Allergy in Dogs. Will Asthma be next?

Question:
Stanford Cures Food Allergy in Dogs. Will Asthma be next?


Answer:
If food allergy and asthma are the same disease, then why can't this Stanford HKL-based treatment be used to treat asthma right now? Why isn't this in human trials yet? Why hasn't this information been covered by a major news organization yet? One of the keys to this treatment is a common bacteria called "Listeria Monocytogenes". A dead form of the bacteria is used in this treatment and the bacteria is killed with heat. "Heat Killed Listeria Monocytogenes" is abbreviated as HKL or HKLM. The food industry (and pharmaceutical industry) couldn't care less about getting rid of food sensitivities. They would rather have as many people as possible eat their foods and then take medicine for it. They have to do something about the most severe types of food allergies because they can cause death. They couldn't care less about mild food sensitivities. It's all about money. The government has always given very little of the federal budget to food sensitivity research. No industry wants to really know how many people have food sensitivities
(allergies and intolerances). Think about it. He could go to the links below for a start, and email each senator and congressman, using Ctrl-C. Use passion, make them feel your emotions, and ask for a reasoned response. Then you could report back to the group for subsequent imput, which may be a very interesting exercise in moving things in a more health-oriented direction. http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm Because most researchers start out with these kinds of trials and then try to get funding for human trials. Without human trials with the same results, it may be difficult to gain acceptance of this. As to why it hasn't been covered by a major news organization, it could be that the researchers don't have a mechanism for alerting news organizations. Some researchers are working for low-key organizations who do their research and publish it in medical journals and that's the extent of getting the word out. In some cases, someone outside the organization gets wind of it and contacts their local newspaper or television stations and word gets out that way. Other organizations enjoy a higher profile and have people in media relations who send out press releases, or alert key newspapers about their findings, such as Science editors of the Wall Street Journal. Research must be viewed along the lines of other businesses. Some have a large budget for marketing and others do not. What you say is true, but I think also people are afraid to back something which may not pan out. Remember all the other promising research we have seen through the years which never amounted to anything in the end.
