Abstract

A method and system for exposing an expectant mother to a mixture of farm derived manure-containing soil to reduce the chances her baby will suffer allergies. City dwelling expectant mothers are exposed to immunologic agents and allergens in a fashion (e.g., via exposure to farm animal manure-containing soils) that charges their immune system and that of their fetus(es) so that their babies, once born, are provided with immunity against a variety of autoimmune diseases, including allergies commonly and increasingly experienced in modern urban environments.

Claims

1. A method of reducing a likelihood of an allergic disease developing, comprising:

administering an immune stimulating composition by dispersing, in the air of an urban dwelling where a pregnant human female resides, a prophylactic immune stimulating composition comprising;

at least 5 grams of farm soil having bovine manure components therein, wherein said bovine manure is from a bovine that has not been administered an antibiotic effective against one of Lactobacillus johnsonii, and Bifidobacterium longum bv. Infantis and wherein said immune stimulating composition further includes an extract derived from a helminth selected from the group consisting of;

Capillaria hepatica, Dicrocoelium dendriticum, Ascaris lumbricoides, Enterobius vermicularis, Trichuris trichiura, Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus, Strongyloides stercoralis, Haemonchus contortus, and Trichinella spiralis,

wherein said step of administering includes exposing an expectant mother to said immune stimulating composition prior to the expectant mother'"'"'s 9^th month of pregnancy, wherein said step of exposing comprises inhaling of immune stimulating composition laden air by said expectant mother, said immune stimulating composition laden air generated by flowing air over an exposed portion of said immune stimulating composition inside an enclosed urban dwelling, said expectant mother inhaling said air at least three times a week for at least a 5 minute time period, up until the birth of her baby.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said step of administering further includes applying to a woman'"'"'s birth canal prior to the birth of her baby a composition including an effective amount of a bacterial formulation that comprises:

Prevotella;

Lactobacillus johnsonii;

Bacteroides fragilis, Lactobacillus ruminus, and at least one of Bifidobacterium longum bv. Infantis isolate UCD272; and

an effective amount of an extract derived from a helminth selected from the group consisting of;

Capillaria hepatica, Dicrocoelium dendriticum, Ascaris lumbricoides, Enterobius vermicularis, Trichuris trichiura, Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus, Strongyloides stercoralis, Haemonchus contortus, and Trichinella spiralis.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the composition has been enhanced by the addition of at least one of the following:

L. infantitis, L. johnsonii, and helminthes.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the composition comprises an extract derived from at least two of:

Capillaria hepatica, Dicrocoelium dendriticum, Ascaris lumbricoides, Enterobius vermicularis, Trichuris trichiura, Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus, Strongyloides stercoralis, Haemonchus contortus, and Trichinella spiralis.

5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising providing a container having a chamber that retains a layer of said farm soil, said soil including microorganisms;

and operating an air flow device adapted to convey air about said manure-containing soil into a room.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein said farm soil having bovine manure components therein includes at least one bacteroidetes selected from a phylum of bacteria of the group Bacteroides, Flavobacteria, and Sphingobacteria, and at least one gram-positive firmicute.

7. The method according to claim 1, further comprising providing at least 1000 bacteria added to said immune stimulating composition, said bacteria selected from the group of Bifidobacterium longum biovar infantis, and Lactobacillus johnsonii, and at least 1 gram of a helminthes extract derived from a helminth selected from the group consisting of:

Capillaria hepatica, Dicrocoelium dendriticum, Ascaris lumbricoides, Enterobius vermicularis, Trichuris trichiura, Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus, Strongyloides stercoralis, Haemonchus contortus, Trichinella spiralis and Trichuris suis ova.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein said expectant mother inhales said air at least three times a week for at least a 5 minute time period for at least the last trimester of a fetal gestational period.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of administering comprises including said composition in house plant soils within said urban dwelling.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of administering comprises inclusion of said immune stimulating composition in a HVAC system within said urban dwelling.

11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the bovine manure is from a bovine that has been fed a diet that included at least one arabinogalactan or arabinogalactan protein.

12. The method according to claim 1, wherein the immune stimulating composition further includes a separate additive including at least one arabinogalactan.
