Answer 1

Avoidance. The best way to prevent an allergic reaction is to completely avoid the known allergen (e.g., pollen, dust, pet dander). However, avoiding an allergen is often difficult when the allergen is constantly present or an individual is highly sensitive. Although complete avoidance may not be possible, there are ways to limit exposure to allergens.
There's no cure for asthma, but the condition can usually be managed and flares can be prevented. Asthma is treated in two ways: by avoiding potential triggers and with medication.

They fall into two categories:
Medications that act quickly to halt asthma symptoms once they start. Some medications can be used as needed to stop asthma symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath) when a person first notices them. These medications act fast to stop the symptoms, but they're not long lasting. They are also known as "rescue," "quick-relief, " or "fast-acting" medications.
Long-term medications to manage asthma and prevent symptoms from occurring in the first place. Many people with asthma need to take medication every day to control the condition overall. Long-term medications (also called "controller," "preventive," or "maintenance" medications) work differently from quick-relief medications. They treat the problem of airway inflammation instead of the symptoms (coughing, wheezing, etc.) that it causes. Long-term medications are slow acting and can take days or even weeks to begin working. Although you may not notice them working in the same way as quick-relief medications, regular use of long-term medications should lessen your need for the quick-relief medications. Doctors also prescribe long-term medications as a way to minimize any permanent lung changes that may be associated with having asthma.

Dealing With Asthma
The best way to control asthma is prevention. Although medications can play an essential role in preventing flares, environmental control is also very important. Here are some things you can do to help prevent coming into contact with the allergens or irritants that cause your asthma flares:

Keep your environment clear of potential allergens. For example, if dust is a trigger for you, vacuum (or remove) rugs and drapes where dust mites can hide. Placing pillows and mattresses in dust-proof covers can help. If pets trigger your symptoms, keep a pet-free household. If you can't part with Fido or Fluffy, keep certain rooms pet free and bathe your pet frequently to get rid of dander.
Pay attention to the weather and take precautions when you know weather or air pollution conditions may affect you. You may need to stay indoors or limit your exercise to indoor activities.
Don't smoke (or, if you're a smoker, quit). Smoking is always a bad idea for the lungs, but it's especially bad for someone who has asthma.
Be smart about exercise. It's a great way to keep the body and mind healthy, so if you're prone to exercise-induced asthma flares, talk to your doctor about how to manage your symptoms. If you get flares during a game or workout, stop what you're doing until the flare has cleared or you've taken a fast-acting medication. When the symptoms have gone, you can start exercising again

There is no way to avoid asthma...if you have it you have it period. What you can do to ease your suffereing are
Keep your home as clean as possible, dust every single day if you have to, make sure that all of the air vents in your home are kept clean. Clean window screens at least once a week. Make sure all closet doors are kept shut at night time. Invest in both a humidifyer and a vaporizer, alternate using them, a few nights with one then a few nights with the other. Get an air purifier. If you use a vacuumn cleaner with bags, change the bags every other vacuuming at least. Better yet get a bagless vacuumn cleaner. If you smoke quit, if you don't smoke don't start. Cut back on sodas, the carbonation bloats you and puts pressure on your airways. Drink lots of water, I drink almost a gallon of water a day. Cut back on dairy products, dairy products cause fleghm which builds up in the lungs and conjests the airways. Exercise, walk to build up your lungs and muscles. Push yourself little by little. Instead of taking the elevator all the way to the top floor try taking the stairs the first floor...then try walking up two flights...etc. When you are exercising and you start to get "winded" rest. Grab a large glass of water and start sipping it slowly. The only way to know for sure if you do have asthma is for a doctor to check you over If you do the doctor will give you instructions which will probably sound alot like what I've just said. You will also get medication. Do not use the medication unless it is absolutely necessary because you WILL become dependent upon it. I was extremely dependent upon my medication before I got pregnant and when I got pregnant I had to go off of it completely, however I found that following the instructions I gave you helped me a great deal and I never once had any major problem. Now at 53 I have a few bouts but mostly during "allergy" seasons early spring and early autumn. I stick to my "rules" and I keep my medication handy IF I should need it It's not easy to avoid but what you can avoid will help you in the long run.

I feel your pain. I've had asthma for 14 years now and have seen several doctors. The truth is, there is no known cure for asthma at the moment. But the symptoms can be prevented. It really depends on what causes your brother's asthma. Mine is usually dust and hot weather. But I think the universal method is using the control inhaler.

I cured my Asthma the natural way?

Answer 6

Allegra both the regular and D versions have given me excellent results. Even living in an apartment directly on Interstate 10 in Houston, Texas where dust & pollution are HUGE factors in my life...since I started taking Allegra, I have not had an attack! Also, I bought the Oreck Air Purifier and placed it next to my bed. It seems to help a lot as well! Good luck!

Most cases (85–90%), bad breath originates in the mouth, sinus and throat. The intensity of bad breath differs during the day, due to eating certain foods (such as garlic, onions, meat, fish, and cheese), obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Since the mouth is exposed to less oxygen and is inactive during the night, the odor is usually worse upon awakening ("morning breath"). Bad breath may be transient, often disappearing following eating, brushing one's teeth, flossing, or rinsing with mouthwash.
Causes:
1, Tongue, A common location is the tongue. Tongue bacteria produce malodorous compounds and fatty acids, and account for 60 to 70% of all cases of mouth-related bad breath. Methods used against bad breath, such as mints, mouth sprays, mouthwash or gum, only temporarily mask the odors created by the bacteria on the tongue, but cannot cure bad breath because they do not remove the source of the bad breath.
Cleaning the tongue - Many companies promote tongue scrapers as a bad breath cure however the bacteria on the tongue can’t be removed with a scraper or brush as they live between the taste buds. Use a tongue scrapper to reduce the food source for bacteria but don’t expect it to cure bad breath. The method of stopping bad breath from the tongue involves rebalancing the bacteria load. Once tongue bacteria are in balance bad breath will cease. For this complex procedure you’ll need to consult Oraltech Labs program at http://www.oraltech.com.au
2. Mouth, There are over 600 types of bacteria found in the average mouth. Other parts of the mouth may also contribute to the overall odor, but are not as common as the back of the tongue. These locations are, in order of descending prevalence: inter-dental and sub-gingival niches, faulty dental work, food-impaction areas in between the teeth, abscesses, and unclean dentures. To fix you will need a dentist to examine your teeth and repair any faults found. Or use Oraltech Labs Unusual Causes Of Bad Breath.
3. Gum disease, advanced periodontal disease is a common cause. Waste products from the anaerobic bacteria growing below the gum line (sub gingival) have a foul smell and have been clinically demonstrated to produce a very intense bad breath. To fix remove the tartar or hard plaque and friable tissue with a soft bristle tooth brush angled on the gum line. This has been shown to improve mouth odor considerably.
4. Nose, in this occurrence, the air exiting the nostrils has a pungent odor that differs from the oral odor. Nasal odor may be due to sinus infections, foreign bodies & commonly Post Nasal Drip. To fix this you will need to flush your sinuses with salt water. It’s very difficult. Use Oraltech Labs program to properly clear all sinus cavities.
5. Tonsils small bits of calcified matter in tonsillar crypts called tonsilloliths that smell extremely foul when released and can cause bad breath. To fix use warm to hot salt water mix to break the stones down or use a water pic to dislodge them. This topic is covered in depth in the Oraltech Labs Program.
6. Stomach, very uncommon source of bad breath. The esophagus is a closed and collapsed tube, and continuous flow (as opposed to a simple burp) of gas or putrid substances from the stomach indicates a health problem—such as reflux serious enough to be bringing up stomach contents or a fistula between the stomach and the esophagus. To fix use Oraltech Labs program to cure bad breath caused by GERD & Acid Reflux.
Management:
1. Gently clean the tongue surface twice daily; that can be achieved using a tooth brush, tongue cleaner or tongue brush/scraper to wipe off the bacterial biofilm, debris, and mucus. Scraping or otherwise damaging the tongue should be avoided, and scraping of the V-shaped row of taste buds found at the extreme back of the tongue should also be avoided. Brushing a small amount of antibacterial mouth rinse or tongue gel onto the tongue surface will further inhibit bacterial action.
2. Eating a healthy breakfast with rough foods helps clean the very back of the tongue.
3. Chewing gum: Since dry-mouth can increase bacterial build-up and cause or worsen bad breath, chewing sugarless gum can help with the production of saliva, and thereby help to reduce bad breath. Chewing may help particularly when the mouth is dry, or when one cannot perform oral hygiene procedures after meals.
4. Gargling right before bedtime with an effective mouthwash.
5. Maintaining proper oral hygiene, including daily tongue cleaning, brushing, flossing, and periodic visits to dentists and hygienists. Flossing is particularly important in removing rotting food debris and bacterial plaque from between the teeth, especially at the gum line.
