New drug to suppress asthma, allergies being developed

In a development that would lighten the hearts of millions of people suffering from asthma, an Australian scientist is working on a new drug that could help prevent the condition.

Nobel Prize-winning scientist and professor of Microbiology Barry Marshall from the University of Western Australia is developing a drug to counter asthma and allergies to foods such as peanuts and shellfish.

Still in its initial stage the drug can be taken as tablets, capsules, liquids or powder, Xinhua news reported.

Barry Marshall, a microbiology professor from University of Western Australia, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology in 2005 for stomach ulcer research, is working on the new drug.

The medication, named Immbalance, aims to suppress an overactive immune system.

"This actually arose from work we were doing on helicobacter, the stomach bug, for which Robin Warren and I won the Nobel Prize a few years ago," Marshall said on Friday.

"We've discovered the way it survives in your body is by suppressing the immune system so you can't get rid of it.

"I can't guarantee that it's going to cure allergy sufferers... we think this kind of thing will bring people who are hyper reactive... down into the normal range."

Marshall, who spent the last seven years developing the drug, said that it can be formulated as tablets, capsules, liquids or powder.

"Children could spread the powder on their cereal or put it in a drink and over the course of a few months could suppress their allergic response," he said in a UWA media release.

"We think it's going to be 100 percent safe. It won't remove your immune system; it will just take the edge off."

Asthma is a respiratory disease that has no cure. However, there are a number of treatments that can help control the condition. The most common one being rescue inhaler - a small device that delivers a spray or powder medicine to your breathing tubes as you breathe in.

 Honey water is a remarkable drink, brimming with nutritional ingredients that will give your body energy and a health boost early in the morning. The best part is that all you need to make it is a tablespoon of honey and a cup of lukewarm water.

1. Watch as Your Weight Drops
Drinking honey water can help you lose weight, despite the sweetness of the drink. The natural sugar in the honey is much healthier than the processed white sugar or corn syrup that is used in soft drinks, and is a healthier source of calories. By replacing soft drinks with honey water you'll see a difference, although not overnight.

2. Maintain Healthy Bowels
Some people are shy about this topic, but there's no shame in discussing it. One cup of honey water a day will help your digestive system and keep you regular. The antibacterial properties of honey help prevent stomach aches and indigestion, and help the body strengthen your stomach's lining.
 3. Boost Your Immune System
Honey is a natural antibacterial substance, and is also full of enzymes, vitamins and minerals – all of which help protect your body against germs, particularly organic honey. Several studies have shown that Manuka honey, a unique honey made from a plant in New Zealand, can kill even antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and can be used as a natural cure for Helicobacter.
 4. Reduce Allergy Symptoms
Studies have shown that eating locally-produced honey helps the body get accustomed to the local pollen, reducing allergy symptoms. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, drink a cup of water with local honey.
 5. Healthy Energy Boost
Even mild dehydration can lead to you feeling tired, so imagine what a cup of water and honey can do to your energy levels. Unlike coffee, the energy boost doesn't subside. Instead, the body remains energized for a prolonged period of time.

6. Say Goodbye to Sore Throats
Every grandmother will tell you that honey is the perfect remedy for a sore throat and coughing. Drinking honey water will create a type of coating around your esophagus, which will calm any coughing and pain, creating a smooth, pleasant sensation in your throat.
 7. Detox
Honey water helps flush toxins out of your body, both by helping your colon, as well as by its antibacterial properties. Detoxing your body regularly helps you feel better and prevents infections. To boost the detox, add some freshly squeezed lemon to your honey water. Lemons too contain antibacterial properties, are diuretic, and aid liver functions.

8. Less Bloating
Feeling bloated and gassy? A cup of honey water will help neutralize the gas, reducing the bloated sensation. It's highly recommended that you drink it after a big meal.

9. Keeps Your Heart Healthy
Above all of its other advantages, honey water helps in raising your "good" cholesterol (HDL) levels. Furthermore, it prevents the body from producing stress hormones, which put pressure on the heart and cardiovascular system.
