It doesn't matter if global warming is a natural cycle or due to human efforts or a combination. That's not the point.

We hear about allergies often: casual conversation, the media, and conversation with our doctors. Although many people are aware of the wide variety of allergies, we still have a misunderstanding as to why they occur. What is our body trying to tell us? While allergies are often thought of as something we can not [...]
