In an effort to help his daughter who suffered from an allergy to cats, Ashok Wahis put his engineering skills to work and invented a product which was tested by allergist Dr. Paul Ratner. This new product is now being sold in stores nationwide in the USA under the brand name Chloraseptic Allergen Block for adults and Little Allergies Allergen Block for kids.
Ashok Wahi, M.S., P.E. Wahi is an engineer who was motivated by his desire to help his daughter, who suffered terribly from cat allergies. Wahi didnt want to give his daughter allergy medications which might have side effects. He found support from allergy specialist, Paul Ratner, M.D., who later became advisor to the project, providing input on product development and subsequent testing. The project goal was to find a way to help manage exposure to allergens in the air when complete avoidance was unrealistic, rather than to manage nasal allergy symptoms once they had already developed. Wahi notes, Necessity is the mother of invention. Because of my daughters allergies, I wanted to develop a product that would help enhance my daughtersand all allergy sufferersquality of life.
Ratner notes, I have thoroughly reviewed both the patented technology that makes Allergen Block products effective, as well as the research conducted to date. These are unique treatments to help allergy sufferers control symptoms before allergens in the air enter the body and begin to elicit the nasal allergy symptoms. The approach taken by Allergen Block products could transform the way we currently look at allergy relief.
Allergies are the fifth leading chronic disease in the U.S. among all ages, and the third most common chronic disease among children under 18. The Allergen Block products can be an effective addition to the arsenal of treatments used by the estimated 40 million American [nasal] allergy sufferers.
The People Speak
The People Speak has evolved over the years with many great guests who have been interviewed by some very fine hosts.
We are a 55 minute show airing every other Sunday between 5-6pm Pacific/8-9pm Eastern. The show features a guest interview from any number of realms of interest (entertainment, science, philosophy, healing, spirituality, activism, politics, literature, etc.).
The guests share their stories, lives, strategies, books, philosophy, films, music, or whatever it is they use as a vehicle for making a difference for the better.
The radio show name, The People Speak, is based on the idea of allowing our audience - the People - a chance to interact with the guests during the hour, and we take phone or text questions from them during the interview.
Past guests include such notables as Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the late Howard Zinn, Nobel Laureates Mairead Maguire, Shirin Ebadi, Kathryn Najimy, Oliver Stone, Jesse Ventura, Richard Belzer, Cynthia McKinney, Cindy Sheehan, Scott Horton, Joan Jett, Willie Nelson, George Galloway, Roseanne Barr, Ed Asner, Chevy Chase, as well as various reps from Amnesty International, UN World Food Programme, and many others.
