«It is well established that there is a «hyper -
inflammatory phenotype» based largely on genetic
factors that is of value
in protecting the young from bacterial infection before they have made IgG antibodies to the bacteria they encounter; but which,
in later
life predisposes to the
inflammatory diseases of old age.
Children with asthma have lower vitamin A levels than children without asthma, and the degree of vitamin A deficiency they exhibit is directly proportional to the severity of their asthma.37, 38
In cell experiments, vitamin A eliminates the response of bronchial smooth muscle cells to growth factors that characterizes the asthmatic reaction39 and suppresses the activity of mast cells, which are involved in asthmatic or other reactions mediated by histamine or other inflammatory chemical messengers called leukotrienes.40 Consistent with studies in isolated cells, vitamin A deficiency causes asthmatic bronchial hyper - reactivity in live rats.

I truly believe the most influential
factors in living with vitality are consuming an alkaline diet rich
in vegetables and fruit with little to no processed foods & sugars, while minimizing dairy and other
inflammatory foods such as meat, caffeine, alcohol and gluten.
