Wow, I really have an agreement with this article. When I'm a little boy, some symptoms which look like Asthma put me to torture. The every symptoms, however, taper off as I grown up.

I just thought that I got a healthy immunity to a disease such as cold, asthma, things like that. But everything was related to gender in particular hormons, Anatomical differences and the susceptible extend to environment trigger. That's very interesting.

As a kid, I had severe ragweed hay fever, but not asthma except in a couple of instances of extreme over-exposure to ragweed itself and once to a hay-fever-prevention shot I had been given.

At about age 25, a Doctor of Osteopathy gave me a seven-day round of Prednisone (a type of steroid) pills and I never had either hay fever or asthma again. It's been 30 years.
