THERE ARE FOUR KINDS OF MEDICAL RESEARCH, ALL DEPENDENT UPON VAST AMOUNTS OF FUNDING.
- Original Research, beginning de novo;
- New Research building upon research results already reported, sometimes many decades ago:
- Research essentially re-doing established work of the past, with or without attribution;
- Research that totally ignores established work of the past that still supports current mainstays of medical treatment.
It
is the fourth kind of research that I address here: work establishing
Allergy Immunotherapy, first in the clinical laboratory and practices
of pioneers like Dr's Robert Cooke and William Sherman beginning in the
1920's...and then entirely verified in the immunology laboratories of
scientists like Dr's. Larry Lichtenstein and Ichizaka in the 1960's.
That
Allergy Immunotherapy is a bed-rock of desensitization treatment for
serious inhalant allergies - particularly bronchial asthma and combined
asthma / chronic bronchitis.
And It Is Being Studiously
Ignored...by both practising clinicians who never bothered to become
familiar with it, and by researchers who would rather not lose research
grants while giving passing attention to the central role of inhalant
allergy in these fields. This leaves the patient to search out his or
her needs.
See the following extensive article entitled:
"Advances In Asthma In 2017:Mechanisms, Biologics, And Genetics.", in J. Allergy Clin Immunology, November 2018.
See if I missed anything.

NOW HEAR THIS!
If an established Asthmatic is not treated with
an accurate and complete diagnosis, with effective environmental
control - especially involving pets, with an effective (and not
excessive) program of anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory medications,
with prompt on-call and effective treatment of superimposed respiratory
tract infections, and WITH ALLERGY IMMUNOTHERAPY FOR UNAVOIDABLE
ALLERGENS, he or she, at whatever age, is BEING POORLY TREATED.
And
that is also true - and possibly especially so - for the many patients,
undiagnosed by their Pulmonologists, who continue to miss combined
Bronchial Asthma and Chronic Bronchitis, mis-labled as "COPD",
Everybody so affected, whether, parent or patient or primary care physician or pulmonologist:
EITHER LEARN, OR GET TO A CERTIFIED ALLERGIST, OR
GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS

AS
I HAVE NOTED MANY TIMES: FULLY 50% OF HEALTH CARE EXPENDITURES ARE
DIRECTLY RELATED TO UNHEALTHY LIFE-STYLE ACTIVITIES. STUPIDO!
