I recently had the opportunity to interview Dr. Cliff Shunsheng Han for the Techlink Health podcast. Dr. Han is a physician, a medical researcher with the Human Genome Project, and the creator of AllerPops, an innovative product designed to help fight the seasonal allergies that plague so many of us.

An allergy sufferer himself, when medications failed to get his problem under control, Dr. Han decided to look beyond the traditional factors that contribute to allergies. he was also motivated by the allergies suffered by his young son. That led him to explore the idea of prebiotics and the importance of a healthy oral microbiome.

Dr. Han is a wonderful example of a physician who followed a nontraditional pathway. Although he trained and practiced as a doctor in China, he has worked as a research scientist since coming to the US over 20 years ago. He shares more about his story on the podcast and in his book, Nothing to Sneeze At.

But once a physician, always a physician. Through his curiosity and resilience, Dr. Han has created something completely new with AllerPops. The science is still in the early stages, but the testimonials on his website are inspiring.

As a disclosure, I will note that Dr. Han has kindly offered to supply me with a sample kit of Allerpops. As a nearly year-round allergy sufferer, I am really looking forward to giving them a try.
