Does anyone know about "your body's many cries for water" this book?

Question

My son has asthma and I heard about a "water cure" which is water with salt. Is anyone try it to cure asthma? Is it to good to be true?

Answer 1

too good to be true!

try a no meat diet for a few weeks. he can get his source of protein from beans (black is best), nuts, peanut butter, very little soy products, flaxseed sprinkled on veggies or in oatmeal.

my son who grew up with severe asthma decided one day to become a vegan. turns out, there must be something in the meat because he has not had an attack for almost 2 years since the begining!

he does take fish oil capsles (pecto)
takes a multivitamin
still consumes milks and cheeses, and eggs which are bi-products of meat.(lacto)
veggies and fruits.

so my son is a pecto-lacto vegan. not only has this improved his asthma but he lost about 25 pounds. (if your son is at average weight, he will lose less or none at all.

it worked for him, maybe it will work for your son!

p.s. before an asthma attack does your son crave salt/sodium?
my son did and I could always tell he was fixing to have one!
he still consumes a lot of pickles and even drinks the juice, but maybe the vinegar has something to do with it as well-still no asthma!

he is also supposed to be on preventive medications (for allergies as well as an inhaler and doesn't bother with any) still hasn't had an asthma attack!

if your son wants to eat occassional meat, usually chicken is okay. (i've tried to get corey to eat chicken or at least fish/shrimp) but to no avail. I keep hoping he will at least eat fish or shrimp one day! (it's not really considered a meat)

Answer 2

I am a respiratory therapist-I've heard about using saline (salt water) solution to treat cystic fibrosis, but nothing about asthma.
Believe me, if it were proven an effective treatment for asthma, pulmonologists would be all over it. On the other hand, if it's recommended by your son's doctor, it wouldn't hurt to try.Good luck.
