what's the cure for asthma?

Answer 1

Asthma

Asthma is a condition which affects the small airways of the lungs. People with asthma have sensitive, or 'twitchy' airways. When these sensitive airways are exposed to certain 'triggers' the airways can narrow, leading to difficulty in breathing.

The narrowing of the airways is caused by inflammation and swelling of the lining of the airways, the tightening of the muscles around the airways and the production of excess mucus. The result is a reduction of the flow of air in and out of the lungs.

As we breathe, air moves in and out of the lungs through branching airways. People with asthma have sensitive or 'twitchy' airways. When they are exposed to certain 'triggers' (e.g. cigarette smoke), their airways narrow making it hard for them to breathe. The three main factors that cause this narrowing of the airway are:

1. The inside lining of the airways becomes red and swollen (inflamed).

2. The muscle around the airways tighten.

3. Extra mucus may be produced.


Why do people get asthma?

We don't really know, but we do know that many people are born with a tendency to develop asthma. There is often a history of asthma, eczema or hayfever in brothers, sisters and parents and close relatives. Asthma can occur for the first time at any age. There is also evidence that exposure to certain things, for example cigarette smoke during pregnancy and early childhood, increases the risk of developing asthma.

What are the main symptoms?

Wheezing - a high pitched raspy sound on breathing
Coughing
Shortness of breath
Tightness in the chest

These symptoms may vary from person to person, and from time to time within the same person. Some people have all the symptoms, while some may only have a cough or a wheeze.

What triggers asthma symptons?

colds and the flu
cigarette smoke
exercise
inhaled allergens e.g. pollens, moulds, animal hair and dust mite
changes in temperature and weather
chemicals and strong smells
some foods and food preservatives, flavourings and colourings
certain drugs e.g. aspirin

BUT...often we do not know what triggers an episode.

Can asthma be cured?

Asthma cannot be cured but it can be controlled. Getting your asthma under control means that you are able to do your daily activities and lead a normal life without having asthma symptoms.


Can TRANSFER FACTOR assist to minimise that inflammation?




Asthma Symptoms Influenced by Formula Feeding and Dog Ownership

Asthma symptoms in children in the first year of life, were more often influenced by exclusive formula feeding and dog ownership, according to a study presented at the 2004 AAAAI Annual Meeting.


So does this give more encouragement towards breast feeding trends?

The NATURAL act of providing your child with breast feeding habits obviously has far more advantages than first considered!

By providing your child with the NATURAL Transfer Factor within colostrum from the mother in their first days of life, and continuing to provide breast-fed milk through its nurturing months, the likelihood of the child living healthily is greatly increased.

The reasons for the health benefits??

The child receives the benefit of the NATURAL immune intelligence from its mother - that the child CANNOT receive from "formula".


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Transfer factors are made up of three separate fractions that balance the immune system for a more effective immune response. The three fractions are the INDUCER, ANTIGEN SPECIFIC and SUPPRESSOR fractions. The inducer fraction provides a basic training to get the immune system into shape. The antigen specific fraction functions like a set of “wanted” posters that help identify critical features of the infectious enemy. Finally, the suppressor fraction is able to recognize the enemy's defeat and then calm the immune system back to a normal level.

Unlike most immune supplements that only provide building blocks for proper immune function, transfer factors also provide immune intelligence. It is the immune information and education that helps to focus the immune system, keeping it on task and effective.

Transfer Factors make up a highly concentrated, immune messaging system - designed by nature - to transfer critical immune programming from one individual to another. It is important to recognise that Transfer Factors are non-species specific. This means that their immune power is universally beneficial to all humans and animals that are mammals.

In conclusion, Transfer Factors BALANCE the immune system through boosting it, and controlling it.


With the KEY to the cause of asthma being the INFLAMMATION OF THE AIRWAYS.... Transfer Factors have been proven to minimise the degree of inflammation within the body. Whilst at this particular time of writing, there have not been conclusive studies of the effect of Transfer Factor to minimise the inflammation, we have received many Personal Testimonies of the beneficial results of taking transfer factor.

Answer 3

Sorry there is no cure for asthma. Coffey will help loosen up the bronicals , honey will help coat them. Good Luck

Answer 4

You could try consulting a homeopath. I successfully treated a four year old. She's now seven and doesn't have problems any more. One time, before we had it resolved, she came to me in the midst of her worst bout ever. She had been to the doctor first and they put her on the nebulizer and gave her steroids, but when she arrived in my clinic she couldn't stay awake, complained her tummy hurt and was still breathing with difficulty. After sips of her remedy in water over a half hour she was a different child: alert, breathing better, wanting to leave with her mom and get something to eat. The episode resolved without the need for any further conventional medication. (And for the skeptics out there, I'm told the steroids couldn't have acted so fast so I think it must've been the remedy.)

i wish i had one! if it is allergic asthma, you can almost eliminate it, or significantly reduce the symptoms with allergy testing and desensitizing shots. after you get the shots long enough to get to a maintenance dose, your symptoms may all but disappear. i just started shots 2 weeks ago (once a week in both arms for 5 months). these are gradually increasing doses to build up my immunity. I sure hope it works, because the 3 rescue inhalers, advair, spireva, theodur, singulair, zyrtec and prednisone, nebulizer and oxygen (my new med regime) are not managing mine. i wish you well...

Answer 6

Asthmatics should take refined sugars in large quantities, gain weight, should not exercise , take honey one tablesoonful thrice daily and try
Homeo medicines like-Antimonium 6x, Ipecac 200x, Phosphorus 30x. These are said to be very useful though fall short of curing.

Answer 7

There is a mushroom extract that has been very successful in the treatment of asthma. It's called cordycepts or cs-4. You can find it on the Internet.

Answer 8

No cure - sometimes kids grow out of it but otherwise it's just treating the symptoms and keeping things in control

Answer 9

You can't cure asthma but you can manage it

Answer 10

Using an allergy treatment strategy, such as Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique...
