HYGIENIC HYPOTHESIS - GENERATION/COMMUNITY DECLINE
Abstract
Medical/clinical research shows a sheer decline in the growth of community particular the children during this epoch. The tendency of this increase is more disastrous than in the primitive times when our off-spring used to play in a natural unhygienic environment. The modernization and the technological play-toys have entirely snatched the divine approaches of the children. During that time they played in mud no matter it was filth (excrement) or purity, being a natural act, it gave them real robustness physically and mentally. But the deprivation of such an atmosphere has resulted in the total mal-growth of communities today.
Fifteen years ago true faces of hygiene hypothesis have come forward. According to this hypothesis, early exposure of viruses, bacteria and other microbes to the human subject in first one to three years of life enhance the innate and adaptive immunity(1).
T cell differentiation are influence by viruses and ultimately it effects the regulation of TH1resposes.(2). These viruses stimulate the production of IL-10 in production of in T regulatory cells. So in turn all immune response elicited(3).
To prove the essence the authority on the subject experimentally asserted that as per the ‘hygiene hypothesis’, the trend of infections towards decrease within the states in the West just currently within the states which are under development being on the birth edge of rising occurrence of both autoimmune & allergic ailments. The study proves enough to support the plea as to the development of the community under a divine as well as an environment created by the man himself(4). The plea assumed in the Germany after a keen research that the children are better grown in the environment unclean and muddy than that grown in the clean and transparent ones. It is a belief on the part of most of the parents to provide the minors the cleanest possible environment but it is the research of certain study that an exposure of them to what is unclean but natural being benefiting for their immune system. The studies have revealed about the minors being nursed under the cleanest possible environments, suffer from a rate higher as compared to those suffered by hay fever, asthma & coupled with an extensive array of similar more diseases being defined as hygiene hypothesis(5).
Asthma is an impairment of lungs and respiration and research proved it that the rural off-spring does fall prey to it less than that brought up otherwise. The minors who grow up within the limits of country-side i.e., within the environment of animals & having maximum members in their families appear suffering from asthma less as compared to those otherwise. In accordance with hygiene hypothesis, so is because of being exposed to specific viruses, bacteria or parasites(6, 7).
Over-all Hygienic Hypothesis confirmed the genuineness of the natural surroundings more authentic than that of current culture being adopted by the children. This is but totally developing different diseases resulting in non-growth of the community as a whole. The solution to this dilemma is to return to the centuries old culture of our children. Here they will be able to be reconstructed as previously. This transformation has become a necessary resilience of the hour and if not adapted to, certainly a day, our communities will become to the zero edge of the logic being discussed above.
The quicker the return, the better it is.
