We heard of shocking news about suicide himself. He was medical student who have a pride in Korean society but He desponded of his future. Because of atopic dermatitis.
The origin of the word "Atopic" is "unusual" by Greek. Sufferer from atopic have a symptom that scratches an itchy spot until blood flows. So they would make them less attentive. From this, could not do well at school and his place of work. Finally He is to be losing confidence and to be afraid talk with others. In short, He is ruined his life.
What a scared disease? Are we safe? Not really. According to research of "dietary life habit" by the Korea Federation of Teachers' Association (KFTA), students who go to school from elementary to high have a symptom of atipic dermatitis about 20%. Also Reply of asking that I used to skipping the breakfast is made to hand up one of three. And 55% of whole students favor to eat fast-food by meal. We have got known important keyword that A child had bad eating habit, have quite probable of having atopic disease. This fact cause fears us. Because we are a large custom of fast-food. Actually, some day ago, a member of Citizens' Movement for Environmental Justice, try an experiment. It is that "how much hamburger gives big health hazard to body for month". What is result? It is not known to us. Because He had to stop the experience. Unless he had continually that work, He maybe would be taken away in an ambulance. Someone says that I did not have atopic dermatitis in childhood so I have nothing to worry about on that point. The answer is "You are under hallucination"
In fact. It is right that Somebody who have experience in childhood, hooked again in adulthood than the other that. But, Disease comes when you least expect it. Miss Park, who is caught in adulthood first, said that I used to eating fast-food by one meal a day, After about 1 year, I look my action that scratches an itchy spot and my body gets nettle rash. So Now, I stand on the confines of taking a lunch box.
There is another important factor which causes an atopic disease in adulthood. It is taking stress to far. Especially This disease take sick to more than 17 years person who have much stress owing to study and be employed. Also they sometimes used to have nervous breakdown and melancholia from overwork. People usually have a foggy idea about atopic disease. That is cause of environmental problem, example of Sick house syndrome.
But we have to know moreover. What is more things is that this is result of our habit of life, so we have very positive attitude to life and do a health food diet.

Interview

CAH have an interview with person experienced in atopy to understand more about atopic disease. He is a 27 years old. His name is Park Seung-bin, And He works at A.D webzine. At there, he has written article about atopic dermatitis and run cafe which is published for sufferer of atopy. The bottom is result of interview.

CAH: Few days ago, two grim news were reported. That is tidings of suicide. A student at a women's university and a boy at a medical university were killed oneself. Atopy drove to the corner them. So these accidents become a major issue. If so, what do you think of these accidents?
Mr. Park : Generally atopy is classified from early stage to chronic state. Perhaps they must be patients who were stage of chronic. I heard say about her. She was illed with atopy for 7 years. She might be run out. Naturally, sufferer of atopy is not possible to get fixed perfectly. And do over again pattern of better and worse. So mind and body run out of gas and feel frustrated. Moreover, Chronis state rouse up symptom. For example, sore oozes are running not only arms, legs and any other parts of body but also face appeared always. From this they were occupied by another disease- social anxiety disorder. As having not any friends, they did not grumble at any place.
Anyway, I am sorry to these accidents. If they had endured the moment of despair, they would be nicer. And if they had taken part in community such as my cafe, we could hug their hurt mind.

CAH: If so, Did you ever experience as same impulse? Then, Why?
Mr. Park : Of course. I was on stage of chronic when I was high school student. The season is that reach the age of puberty. So I was more sensitive than the other once. When I went to the high school, my face turn into red and my eyebrows falls out. Then, when I saw the mirror myself, I thought I am a monster. According to this, I had an antrophobia. In addition, In spite of entering the school by first of the list, I even did not graduate the school. Because I was not absorbed in study owing to feel a tickle. I could not endure the time when schools take an examination; I had to lay in sickroom for children at school.
And above all I was really sorry for my family. They always have done mind to me and cost of medicine was expensive. And As I used to failing get to sleep, my family also is sleepless. So I had ever a bad mind.

CAH: How much do damage one's life?
Mr. Park : I am certain "Everything". Although it is not life-threatening problems, give bad influence to one's life. So people saying "Atopy is scare disease"
For example, there is corner "grumble (Nuk-Do-Ri)" in my Daum cafe. Sufferer would to open one's heart at there. So the corner is always filled with pitiful story. In the concrete, the problem of relationships with the opposite sex and leaving from the school voluntarily and the problem of temporary absence from school.
Also A friend is in straitened circumstances. His major was chemistry department and got a position concerned chemical engineering. But, he has to stop that work because chemicals strike him mortal blow. Such like this, the lose things are many to sufferer.

CAH: Would you suggest to us your know-how?
Mr. Park : Look at me! Do you have to know that I'm a patient of atopy? You know, I am normal. I am staying early stage. Thanks to my treatment table. My know-how is that writing the diary of cure. Atopy's symptoms are every kind and description. For example, someone is agreeing with milk but the other is not agreeing that, so you must know the things agreed your body toward to diary. I am certain that it is big helpful tool than any others. Such as an herb remedy and ointment.
