is there any complete cure for asthama?

Answer 1

no...they can't even cure athlete's foot. I mean the last thing they cured was polio...back in the 1950's so a cure for asthma is long overdue

Answer 2

First, have maintenence take out the filters for the AC and clean them, and have them do this for all the vents, including the filters on the office refrigerator if there is one. Second, I absolutely concur that the consumption of dairy worsens asthma symptoms VERY much. I am allergic to both cats and horses. For 17 years of my life, I was a fairly strict vegetarian (macrobiotic) and did not consume red meat, poultry, eggs or dairy very much if at all. My asthma disappeared. I have reintroduced many of these items into my life, and lo, the asthma has come back. Clean up your diet, do a liver cleansing, and see if this does not help you. Consume lots of freshly squeezed, organic lemon juice in your water, too, as this helps immensely. I will also say as an asthmatic that keeps an inhaler around, just in case: 1) I vacuum and dust, A LOT! 2) I find inhalers to be very low in side effects. This is not true of the prednisone that many asthmatics take. 3) Buy a copy of The Fourfold Path to Healing by Cowan. This book has helped me heal myself more than almost any other book I've ever read. 4) There is an absolutely huge correlation between adrenal depletion, allergies and asthma. Deal w/ the adrenal depletion and oftentimes the asthma will disappear. 5) I have had Network Chiropractic treatments while on the way to the hospital because of an asthma attack. Let's just say I didn't need to go to the hospital after seeing my chiro, which at first was quite shocking, but wonderful. See if you can find a Network Chiropractor in your area. Email me if you need assistance with this.

Hi,
There is complete cure for Asthma is possoble .
The treatment will include medicines and the removal of any allergy-causing substances or irritants from the environment. Two types of medications are used to control asthma – fast acting medicines called bronchodilators and preventive medicines.

Bronchodilators relax the muscles in the airways. When the muscles are relaxed, the airways become larger and allow more space for air to move in and out. This medicine is taken by inhaling it - breathing it into the lungs while spraying it into the mouth. People prone to asthma, should always have a bronchodilator with them. Taking the inhaler before exercise can prevent exercise-induced asthma. Salbutamol is the generic name of the most widely used fast-acting bronchodilator delivered by an inhaler or a nebulizer.

The preventive medicines are now considered the best and safest way to control asthma. These medicines prevent asthma attacks and chronic asthma symptoms, such as shortness of breath, allowing people with asthma to live active lives, including participation in sports. The common preventive medicines are a long-acting bronchodilator called salmeterol and inhaled steroids, such as betamethasone.

Additional types of preventive medicines include theophylline, a pill often taken at bedtime to prevent wheezing at night and chromoglycate which is inhaled three to four times a day. In addition to using a quick-acting bronchodilator during an asthma attack, different types of preventive medicines may be combined for the best control of wheezing.

For the right treatment, the asthmatics need to work closely with their doctor. The inhaler should be used correctly by reading the directions that come with it. Most inhalers work best when held 1 to 2 inches in front of the mouth during use. If the mouth is closed around the inhaler, less amount of the medicine will reach the lungs. A spacer tube or spacehaler can be used for better delivery of the medicine to the lungs. One end of the spacer is attached to the inhaler and the other end is put in the mouth. This allows the asthmatic to breathe in slowly and fully and to inhale more of the asthma medicine. This is especially useful in asthmatic children who can have a problem in coordinating the inhaler with their breathing.

Following precautions may help to keep asthma under control:

Avoid smoke, especially cigarette smoke, vapours and chemical fumes.
Stay indoors during the humid season or the change of seasons especially when the pollen count is high.
Do not use fans in closed and dusty places.
Cover mattresses and pillows with plastic covers. Wash the bedding in hot water every week.
Do not use a vaporizer or humidifier unless it is thoroughly cleaned.
Do not have close contact with pets. Pet owners should bathe their pet weekly.
The cleaning of the house or the surroundings should be done by wet mopping rather than sweeping, wherever possible. This avoids the generation of allergen aerosols which could act as a triggering factor.
The doctor should be contacted in case the medicines are not effective in keeping the breathing comfortable.

desensitization... i went through it when i was a kid

Desensitization is a method to reduce or eliminate an organism's negative reaction to a substance or stimulus

For example, if a person with diabetes mellitus has a bad allergic reaction to taking a full dose of beef insulin, the doctor gives the person a very small amount of the insulin at first. Over a period of time, larger doses are given until the person is taking the full dose. This is one way to help the body get used to the full dose and to avoid having the allergic reaction to beef-origin insulin. (See Hyposensitization.)

At the cellular level, administration of small doses of toxin produces an IgG response which eventually overrides the hypersensitive IgE response.

In pharmacology, desensitization is the loss of responsiveness to the continuing or increasing dose of a drug. Also termed tachyphylaxis, down-regulation, fade or drug tolerance. This may be an important area to consider for the future design of safer drugs (see link). See also physiological tolerance.

Answer 5

Two references that have a lot of info and good advice are
Prescription For Natural Cures - Balch & Stengler
Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine - Murray & Pizzorno
You can check your library or local health food stores for a copy. Or get one at a discount on Alibris.com
A little study of these excellent books will be of great help to you. Good luck!

Answer 6

There isnt. However, the trend nowadays is inhaled broncholdilator ( which dilates your bronchioles) and a steroid such as Seretide. The milligram will depend on the severity of your asthma. This will be lowered later.

Answer 7

no prevention is the closest cure!
ive been a sufferer for 30 years!
i wish there were a solution!

Answer 8

no cure really, but some people do drink coffee during an attack. They say it works.

Answer 9

Unfortunately their isn't. But you can learn to manage it and have a fairly normal life with it.

Answer 10

yes, let your kids play in the dirt when they're young, then they won't start choking everytime a bit of dust flies past.
