Revolution Health
The tele-conference call was very interesting last night.
Firstly, meeting and hearing authors of blogs I read regularly was very cool. Secondly, it was great to hear the smart and varied questions we had for the doctor.
In hindsight, I wish that allergies and asthma as topics had been separated out. Of course, they cross over and that's fine; my asthma is allergy related, I get it. But both topics are so huge and comprehensive that we could have spent more time discussing and following up with each question. That’s what I wanted: to follow up with each question that was asked in more of a roundtable discussion format.
Here is a list of the attendees: Gluten Free Girl; Allergy Moms ; Childfoodallergy.com; Kids with Food Allergies; Allergizer ; Our Story ; Allergic Girl; moderator Cynthia , and allergy expert Dr. Clifford Bassett.
We did two rounds of one question each and I took some very quick notes as we talked [apologies to any blogger if I didn’t get it quite right].
1. Our Story : What is anaphylaxis?
2. Gluten Free Girl: Please discuss the psychology of allergies/intolerances.
3. Childfoodallergy.com: False negative results in food allergy testing? Why is that?
4. Allergic Girl: In terms of treatments, what’s on the horizon within the next ten years for allergies and asthma?
5. Kids with Food Allergies: Explain biphasic reactions?
6. Allergizer : Diet during pregnancy, how does it effect potential food allergies in children?
7. Allergy Moms : Please discuss immunology of the skin relating to multiple food allergies.
8. Our Story : Outgrowing milk/eggs allergies, is that possible?
9. Gluten Free Girl: What do you think about the anecdotal evidence about the rise of food allergies?
10. Allergic Girl: What advice would you give to the newly diagnosed allergic or asthmatic adult?
11. Cynthia: Allergic video games? Are they in development?
12. Kids with Food Allergies: The role of epinephrine in treating asthma?
13. Allergizer : Genetically modified foods - how does it relate to food allergies?
14. Allergic Girl: Natural remedies⎯what do you think?
As soon as the link is up I will post it so you can hear what the good doctor had to say in answer to these questions.

I work at Revolution Health and teamed up with Cindy to put the allergy call together. I'm glad you had a positive experience and thank you for the feedback. We have only hosted a few calls to date and plan to do more, so your ideas on how to make them even stronger are greatly appreciated. Keep the suggestions coming! Lori
it was great as a first try, but succeeding discussions should perhaps focus on more specific topics.
hip writer--thanks for reading, enjoy!
ruth--i agree with your agreement ;-)
