Can
school children catch asthma at school?
By:

Benton,
KY - Now that school's back in session, there's
a heightened risk your child could catch a cold
or even develop asthma.
Recess,
is the physical release every child needs; whether
it's the monkey bars or a game of catch with
friends. It's also this type of hyperactivity
that strikes of cord in Peyton Potter's and
Jordan Moss' parents, they have asthma.
"If
I run too fast I get to wheezing and I have
to take my inhaler and it's usually at recess,"
said Moss.
"Once
I had it real bad and I had to go to the hospital,"
said Potter.
But
it's not only outdoor activity that can leave
these little ones out of breath there are some
hidden indoor culprits too.
To
name a few: cleaning supplies janitors use,
a mold in ceiling tiles and furry pets like
tinsel the rabbit in Miss Ashley's kindergarten
class.
"You
have to be organized in an elementary school,"
said Pam Lampkin the school Health Aid.
She's
worked at Benton Elementary School for the past
12 years and says each year there are nearly
30 students wondering the halls with asthma.
"We
haven't seen an increase in the numbers,"
Lampkin added, most students start off the year
knowing what to do if they're in trouble and
that's the key.
These
way health care workers know: first of all they
have asthma and secondly how to treat their
individual symptoms.
Some
students like Peyton Potter have wisdom beyond
their years, "you need to pay close attention
and don't run all say. You need to run and then
hydrate yourself with some water and sit out
a little while and then you can play a bit more."
Potter's
father is a local doctor and told the keys to
beating an asthma attack.
Lampkin
says he's got it right and hopes other students
in the Heartland follow Potter's lead.
According
to an American Lung Association poll, 73 percent
of parents of children with asthma report they're
concerned about their child in school, but fewer
than half inform the teacher the student has
a breathing problem.
REM
Mate's Air Purifier Breakthrough for Whole Health
Go from Poor Sleep to Pure Sleep with REM
Mate, the whole health, pure air, pure sleep bedroom
machine.
[ClickPress, Mon., July 24,2006] Working with air
purifiers for many years, the REM Mate health-science
engineering team worked in Buffalo to create the
all-steel, all American construction of REM Mate, the
whole health, pure air, deep sleep bedroom machine.
"Originally created to ease the struggles of
allergy and asthma patients," said REM Mate's
co-founder, Bill Zimmermann, "REM Mate is seen as a
bedroom must for every family member. REM Mate is
essentially an "whole health" breathing mate for one's
sleep energy."
With
a 2.1 billion dollar a year sleep prescription market
for the over 60% sleep deprived Americans, REM mate
provides a drug free, pure air approach to better
breathing and deeper sleep.
REM
Mate's unique approach to the market is direct from
health care provider to patient, in addition to
consumers reaching us directly via our web site:
http://www.indoorhealthcare.com.
Indoor Health Care Network
introduces REM Mate to the allied
health care community, and creates a Clinic package for
health care providers to perform as Indoor Health Care
Associates. These Associates treat their patients beyond
their symptoms, to inquire and advise as to their home
indoor environments, where each of us spend up to 90% of
our time, in environments polluted some five to 20 times
more that the outside environment.
We
breathe 15,000 to 35,000 times a day, one third of which
is horizontal, at half our daytime respiratory speed,
when attempting sleep. REM Mate offers a pure sleep
environment with which to breathe better.
Afterall, breathing gives us 90% of our energy,
so breathing REM Mate's pure air during our night time
re-energizing period is a must for the whole health of
every family member.
