Will there be a cure for Asthma related illness soon?

Question

My great nephew recently died after having a asthma attack. He was only nine years old. I want to know more and do more on his behalf.

Answer 1

Not a lot of money is being spent on research for a cure for Asthma. I guess Asthma doesn't have any importnace in front of cancer, and other deadly diseases. Plus i think the main reason is that you can control asthma, and hence it doesn't fall into this category. But I know it has killed a lot of people, most of them who does not follow the dcotor's recommendation, or just thinks its embarrasing to take medications. People shouldn't be embarassed and if they follow their doctor's advice everything should be fine.As a respiratory therapist 90% of my patients have asthma, and after listening to their experiences, I really hope someone will come up with a cure for this condition.

Asthma is an allergy and is triggered by something. The best non medication treatment for asthma is learning your triggers and avoiding them. Common triggers are smoke, dust, mold, mildew, plants, dust mites, pets and grass/weeds.

If you can not figure our your triggers, you may need to see an allergist and have allergy screening done. This may point out your triggers.

The National Asthma Prevention Program and the Expert Panel of Diagnosis and Management of Asthma both agree if you have to use a prescription inhaler such as albuterol more then two time per week, your asthma is NOT in control and you will need a prescription controller medication.

Controller medications are steroids (Asthmacort Asthmanex, Flovent, Pulmocort), Leukotriene modifier (Singulair, Aculade, Zyflo) or mast cell stabilizers (Cromolyn sodium, Intal, Tilade).

You may want to talk to your doctor about several strong controller medications and maybe Xolair shots.

If you want a proven, all-natural way to cure your asthma, without having to pay for useless medications with harmful side-effects, then this is the most important page you'll ever read.
