Nowadays allergic diseases according to its morbidity take the third place amongst cardiovascular and oncological diseases, and in certain environmentally unfriendly regions such diseases head the list.

In article “The Truth About Allergy” (“SP” dated 20 April 2006) it was said that a man starts sickening for allergy due to inobservance of hygiene requirements. After publication of this article the phone call came in: “I do not agree with you. For 30 years I suffer from asthma but I’m keeping clean. Two times in a week I wash the floor and make wet cleaning in the apartment.” The call-maker was responded that the article in a popular form highlighted the results of researches conducted by scientists from almost all over the world. This conversation pushed us to provide in greater details a large public of allergic individuals and people, who do not suffer from allergy for the moment, with those data as given in the works of the scientists from various countries but in consideration of practical usefulness of these data.

The fact, that places of people’s stay (not only home, office and public facilities, but also their beds, clothes and skin) appeared to have been stuffed with microscopic (invisible to the naked eye) mites, is undisputed and stated by researchers from almost all over world. Each of them tried to answer the question: how to help this situation? As most of them believe, that only a daily cleaning of premises and household goods, as well as cosmetic renovation of an apartment twice in a year may provide proper household cleanness (without mites and other living creatures of household dust). In addition to this information it is worth to mention some details (based on own observations) the use of which makes the desired result possible. With observing the work of the experienced and new housemaids we noticed that they do not make home cleaning in a proper manner in regards to cleaning from household mites. In connection with the situation occurred even the washing of floors should be made properly with keeping a certain temperature of water, using of process method, quality of cloth, household cleaners and etc.

It seems unbelievable but we had to observe how the future nurses began cleaning from the threshold towards the window. We witnessed many cases of improper renovation of apartments, as a result of which the asthmatics living there suffer more frequently from the assaults of disease, and in the everyday dust the mites becomes more than before the renovation. In consideration of above said there seemed no escaping the conclusion that the renovation and cleaning of premises (office, household, public and etc.) should be made with knowledge of peculiarities of contemporary allergic environment. Each member of family and especially the staff making cleaning should be also competent. The children must view this simple knowledge constantly at home and solidify it on the lesions of valeology. Only in such environment the generation which, since being in petticoats, knows the proper preventive techniques of allergic and many other serious diseases, no matter how odd it may sound.

Nowadays the scientists are not the ones who address the issues on sanitation of household and working environment from mites and dirt. The industry produces air cleaners, mattresses and other bedding which do not purportedly nest allergens. The pharmaceutical industry produces medications and means for prevention of mite-borne disease. Very powerful water vacuum cleaners are designed to serve these purposes, Japanese vacuum cleaners burn out the collected dust. The cosmetic industry produces preparations for treatment of mite-affected skin. Net marketing also offers anti-mite preparations for internal and external applications. A question of actual effectiveness of each of the above listed preparations remains open, but price of the listed goods and preparations is not affordable for everyone. The practice shows that acquisition of the afore-named preparations with purpose of sanitation of household life from allergens in most of cases does not give the desired result due to its improper use.

Material welfare is created by any person to improve the quality of life. What quality of life a person can talk about if he/she or a member of the family is sick? Indeed it is not said in vain that “a healthy beggar is happier than a bedridden king”. We had to treat a lot of patients from quite wealthy families. The follow-up of these patients indicated a poor condition of their household life in regards to hygiene requirements. For example, 17 years old boy having two personal cars and suffering from celloid pimples, the condition of his bed-sheet, which he was bringing for treatment procedures, clearly showed that his household life was contaminated with fungi. We observed quite a lot of such cases for 30 years.

What to do in the occurred situation with high allergenicity of our environment?

The safest way is to improve our knowledge in regards to proper arrangement and maintenance of houses, offices, public premises and facilities. No matter how high the level of our material welfare is, without knowledge and correct skills on proper prevention of many heavy as well as allergic diseases, no one can provide the properly healthy future without disease. The great pollution of our household life compared to our ancestors’ life is widely trumpeted by mass media. If anyone of your family has skin and allergic problems, you should know that the gloss and seemingly cleanness of your surroundings are illusory.

- What to do in such situation? - Do not hesitate to apply to specialists and do not trouble to spend expenses for training of your assistants for proper performance of duties on cleaning of house, office, yard, childcare and etc.

Except the training of methods on proper prevention of allergic diseases and allergic dermatosis we provide the effective treatment of many diseases, including photodermatosis (sun allergy), discoid lupus erythematosus, dermatitis, food allergy, drug allergy and kiss-type allergy, rosacea, eczema, neurodermatitis, psoriasis, Para psoriasis, prurigo, furunculosis, demodicosis, nasal allergy, colloid, erythroderma, alopecia, incipience of exanthematous lupus erythematosus, incipience of scleroderma, incipience of acute disseminated myositis; precancerous skin diseases, skin cancer, deep-rooted recurrent urticaria fever.
