Research has shown that asthma is much more common in people with allergies. • not enough exposure (due to vaccines and medical treatment) to childhood illnesses to build up their immune system. Accordingly, asthma may be a disorder of the immune system where the body fails to make enough protective antibodies to fight off allergens and infections. • decreasing rates of breastfeeding. Fewer infants receive protective enzymes, proteins and essential nutrients from breast milk. This causes increased vulnerability to al
