Cocoa Pods

Dr Vangala speaks ….. On this episode of Cocoa Pods, Dr. Rahul Vangala, an allergist and immunologist who treats disorders and deficiencies of the immune system more specifically how one's immune system reacts to different bacterial or viral antigens, opens with great advocacy for accurate public health education regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. He gives a definition of herd immunity, its benefits, and how the United States can work towards achieving that health status. He also pointed out some of the long-term implications that the pandemic's virus can present in persons infected. He encourages people of all ages 5 and older to be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. Our host follows up the current events talk with a question and discussion about asthma in women who are pregnant or desire to become pregnant. The doctors expand their conversation to talk about the two major burdens when it comes to pregnancy in women with chronic allergies: how do I take care of myself? and how do I protect my unborn baby? Dr. Vangala prioritizes how these concerns are to be addressed at home and at professional health care visits. Part one begins to close with talking about the immune changes that majority of women will experience when going through pregnancy. Since this interesting educational conversation gets thorough talking about those changes and there exists the limit of time; we would like to invite you back for a top tier part two of Dr. Raul Vangala's podcast interview where the two doctors will speak on why the immune system of the mother does not act on its programming to attack the fetus, who presents and introduces foreign genetic material inside mom by its mere living and existence. #immunesystem #allergy #fakenews #socialmedia #herdimmunity #vaccination #ventilation #controlchronicconditions #changesinpregnancy
