It's been awhile since I've been active with my videos / podcasts for the show, and for that I apologise. To get back into the swing of producing this show on a regular basis, I thought it was high time for an interview. I'd just finished reading Flourishing with Food Allergies by A.Anderson recently and I thought it would be great to have an interview with her, and talk about some of the interesting topics that are in her book.

In this episode I speak about managing anaphylactic food allergies using the desensitisation method. There is a current study going on in the Children's Hospital Boston using a desensitisation method, which sort of mirrors the treatment that's been going on for years over at the Pediatric Hospital Burlo Garofolo in the city of Trieste, north-east of Italy (www.burlo.trieste.it) Listen to the podcast here first, then read the websites / watch the videos below.

Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis information coming at you via the Allergy Smart TV show is back. Well sort of anyway. I'll be doing podcasts for awhile with the occassional video thrown in for good measure. Why because I don't have the time needed to post process the videos.

Remember that this TV Show / Podcast is in iTunes so just click the link in the menu above if you want to get it down into your MP3 player of choice, otherwise just listen to it on the site.

Here's another podcast of a radio interview that was done back in Sep 2008. Thanks to Leslie and Richard from the ToyBox radio talkback show on 99.7FM for taking the time to chat with me about this topic and share with their listeners information on anaphylaxis. In this interview we talk about anaphylaxis in schools and what the Queensland government were up to at the time. We also cover what an individual on the street should do if they were to assist someone having an anaphylactic reaction. I'll do a follow up soon in a new video episode of where the Queensland government are at currently with their anaphylaxis school training and their current legislation. Please leave me your thoughts on this interview by leaving a comment on this blog post. Does your country have a "good samaritan law" to protect those that help others needing first aid from any legal issues? Talk soon. Aaron

It's been so long since I've had time to look at getting some content up onto the blog. Since video takes so long to produce I've decided to get a few podcasts out that I've been sitting on.

We cover what is anaphylaxis, possible theories as to why it's happening, and children going to school with food allergies among other things. Leave me a comment below with your thoughts.

Hi all Leslea Harmon from http://allergyware.wordpress.com does a weekly podcast on food allergies which is very good. She recently posted on her blog that she was losing her voice and wouldn't be to able to produce one this week. I thought I'd help a bit and do a podcast for her to use on her show. Hopefully she can use it, but I'm proud of my first ever almost complete podcast so I thought I'd post it here as well. I spoke about anaphylaxis in schools, have a listen and let me know your thoughts on this topic. Click here for the podcast (MP3). Or as I like to call it a ghetocast (thanks Frank Kern for that term) since it's just me talking and no extra bells or whistles. Thanks Aaron
