There is a cure for asthma!?

Question

I can already see all the people who are going to say: asthma is not curable it is only controlable, that's what my doctor said, that's what the t.v. said, that's what other people say sorry!

I can only imagine all the funny, funny answers I am going to get!
If that is what you all think then that is all you will get, nothing!

There has got to be one person out there that believes asthma and allergies are curable! All autoimmune disease is curable.
Not just controlable like all these nimwits believe.
Waiting for a majic bullet? Sorry you will not find that here. There is a way though, do you dare to do it?
I did not think so!
I had allergic asthma for 3 years and it is gone! Never to come back.
No i am not talking about surgery, that does not help, I am not talking about getting you sinus burnt out dummy!

There it is: What do you think about it?
Even more, what are you going to do about it?
Probably nothing, your doctor is probably right anyway. Good luck
Doctors are always right!

There IS a cure for EVERY disease, the FDA want us sick though so we can continue to take their cancer causing RX drugs...

Asthma is a respiratory condition characterized by spasms in the smooth muscles surrounding the airways of the lungs, known as bronchi and bronchioles. As the spasms occur, they cause the airways to narrow, creating difficulty breathing and, in most cases, a sensation of being unable to breathe altogether. Typically, asthma is also accompanied by excessive secretion of mucus in the lungs’ mucous membranes.

Asthma is especially common among children and teenagers between the ages of two and seventeen. In the United States, it is the number one disease within this age group, as well as the leading cause of hospitalization. But asthma is also very common among all age groups, being the eighth leading cause of disease overall in the U.S. It can also be fatal, and accounts for the deaths of over 5,000 Americans every year due to suffocation. In the last two decades, there has been a dramatic rise (over 65 percent) in the number of asthma cases in the U.S., primarily due to an accompanying rise in environmental pollution, poor eating habits, and food and environmental allergies.

Caution: Cases of severe asthma attack require immediate medical attention.

Types of Asthma
There are two primary categories of asthma—acute and chronic. Cases of acute asthma typically flare up suddenly, causing breathing difficulties that can be severe. However, episodes of acute asthma usually do not last long (less than a day). Chronic asthma is a lingering condition with symptoms that are similar to those of acute asthma, although often being less severe.

A third category of asthma is known as occupational asthma. It accounts for more than 15 percent of all cases of asthma in the U.S. and only affects adults. It is so named because it is triggered by exposure to environmental toxins in the workplace.

Symptoms of Asthma
The primary symptom of asthma is an asthma attack characterized by difficulty breathing and accompanied by constriction of the smooth muscles of the bronchial airways, inflammation of the mucous membranes, and increased mucus production. Symptoms can quickly worsen, especially in cases of acute asthma.

Other symptoms include coughs, chest tightness, wheezing (especially during exhalation), heart palpitations and increased heart rate, and sleep disorders due to an inability to breathe properly. Allergic rhinitis, or hay fever (inflammation of mucous membranes of the nasal passageways), is also a very common symptom of asthma, occurring in 93 percent of all children and teenagers affected by asthma and in 99 percent of adults.

Causes of Asthma
Causes of asthma include, though are not limited to poor diet, food and environmental allergies, exposure to cold air, infection, overexertion and/or excessive exercise, exhaustion, and stress. Inhalants, which are commonly prescribed by conventional physicians to treat asthma symptoms, can also trigger asthma attacks, as can other pharmaceutical drugs, which can trigger allergic responses. Improper breathing habits are also a factor; often Asthmatics do shallow breathing, which leaves them more susceptible to an attack. Shallow breathing, coupled with the fear of not being able to breathe can often aggravate an attack.

Cold Air: Sudden exposure to cold air can often provoke attacks in people who are susceptible to asthma because of how cold air initially causes constriction of the body’s air passages.

Diet: In addition to the risk of food allergies posed by an unhealthy diet, poor eating habits inevitably lead to compromised immune function, which can make dealing with allergens that trigger asthma attacks much more difficult, and also increases the risk of infection.

Food and Environmental Allergies: Allergens in food and/or the environment are common triggers of asthma attacks. Typically, asthma that occurs in early childhood is more likely due to food allergies, and asthma that develops later in life is due typically to both food and environmental allergies. Common foods that can trigger allergy attacks include eggs, milk and dairy products, sugar, peanuts, and wheat and wheat byproducts, such as gluten, soy and corn. Any food, however, can potentially cause asthma as well as trigger other conditions associated with allergies. In addition, food colorings, chemical preservatives, and other food additives can also trigger asthma attacks.

The most common environmental triggers of asthma attacks are animal dander, commercial detergents and cleansers, dust, feathers, mold, pollen, petrochemicals, smoke (including secondhand cigarette smoke), and textiles. Most fabrics are treated with formaldehyde, which can provoke a strong response, as can fabrics composed of synthetic materials. In some cases, cotton and flax, both heavily sprayed fibers, can also be at fault.

Infection: Infectious bacteria, fungi, and viruses are all associated with allergic reactions and Asthma attacks, especially during the winter.

Inhalants and Pharmaceutical Drugs: Inhalants, even though they are commonly recommended by conventional physicians to manage asthma symptoms, can actually exacerbate asthma symptoms and trigger asthma attacks. This is because of how individuals sensitive to inhalants react when exposed to them. Asthma related to inhalants in most common among people between the ages of ten and thirty. Various pharmaceutical drugs can also cause or exacerbate asthma attacks, including aspirin.

Prednisone, another drug commonly recommended by conventional physicians for asthma, can also cause serious side effects. In addition to potentially aggravating asthma symptoms, prednisone can cause dizziness, glaucoma, headaches, menstrual problems, muscle weakness, peptic ulcers, and impair the body’s ability to heal wounds. In addition, ongoing prednisone use can also hasten the onset of Type II diabetes.

Improper Breathing Habits: People who habitually breathe through their mouths instead of through their nostrils are very prone to developing asthma. In fact, researchers have found that as many as 90 percent of all asthma sufferers predominantly breathe through their mouths or did so in the past. Mouth breathing significantly increases a person’s exposure to dander, dust, mold, and pollen, as well as infectious agents and environmental allergens and pollutants. Mouth breathing also contributes to shallow breaths, leaving one in a perpetual state of fear. Deep breathing helps stabilize and ground the body, already a challenging task in the western world. Without healthy breathing, we leave ourselves vulnerable to a variety of consequences, including Asthma.

Overexertion and Excessive Exercise: Physical overexertion and/or too much exercise can also trigger asthma attacks in people susceptible to asthma because of how physical activity affects the lungs and produces a tendency to breath through one’s mouth.

Stress: Physical and mental/emotional stress has been shown by research to be associated with asthma. Although stress may not necessarily trigger an asthma attack per se, it can nonetheless lead to sensations of breathlessness, often to a severe degree, compounding the symptoms of asthma patients. In addition, stress has been shown to cause white blood cells known as leukocytes to stick to bronchial cells. When this occurs, inflammation of the bronchial airways can often occur, which can lead to asthma.

Stress of a mental/emotional nature has been particularly linked to cases of asthma during childhood. Moreover, asthma itself can cause stress, creating a vicious circle between asthma symptoms and stress.
Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: Inhaling the vapors of the essential oils bergamot, camphor, eucalyptus, lavender, hyssop, or marjoram during an asthma attack can often quickly help to resolve symptoms. The essential oil of frankincense can also be used.

Ayurveda: To help relieve symptoms of an asthma attack, combine half a teaspoon of ginger and licorice root in a cup of water and bring to a boil. Sip as a tea until symptoms subside. Ayurvedic physicians also recommend combining one-eighth of a teaspoon of black pepper, a teaspoon of honey, and a quarter cup of fresh squeezed onion juice during times of breathlessness and/or congestion and coughing. To fortify yourself between asthma attacks, the herbal tonics ashwagandha, Coleus forskholin, shatavari, gotu kola, licorice, and triphala can all be helpful.

Buteyko Breathing Reconditioning Technique: Developed by Russian scientist Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko, Ph.D., the Buteyko Breathing Reconditioning Technique is a highly effective method for relieving asthma, and in many cases can eliminate asthma altogether. Dr. Butekyo believed that most asthma attacks occur because asthmatics tend to breath improperly. Overall, their breathing patterns resemble hyperventilation, which results in reduced carbon dioxide in the lungs and bronchial airways, leading to spasms in the smooth muscles. Contrary to conventional asthma breathing recommendations, which focus on taking deeper breaths to increase overall lung capacity, Dr. Butekyo developed a series of shallow breathing exercises that are easy to learn and have been shown by researchers to be superior to conventional asthma treatments, and also capable of eliminating asthma completely in many cases.

The Sorvino Asthma Foundation offers breath work tools for healing Asthma and is highly recommended. Founded in 1993 by Paul Sorvino as a Not-for-Profit organization, the Foundation’s goal is to build asthma centers for children and adults across the United States.

Their web site helps to educate the general public about asthma, help those afflicted in controlling it through breath work techniques, and serves as a launch pad to other sites containing complementary asthma information and related services.

Diet: If you suffer from asthma, you need to be screened for food allergies and sensitivities, and then avoid eating those foods you are allergic or sensitive to. In addition, avoid all sugar and sugar products, wheat and wheat byproducts, soft drinks, commercially processed foods, and all foods containing artificial ingredients, such as additives, colorings, flavorings, and preservatives. Minimize your intake of milk and dairy products, coffee and other caffeinated products. In addition, avoid eating foods that are high on the glycemic index, as such foods can trigger insulin resistance and cause hypoglycemia, which is a common factor in many cases of asthma.

Emphasize an organic, whole foods, include plenty of fresh, raw organic fruits and vegetables, preferably soaked nuts and seeds, organic, free-range meats and poultry, and wild-caught fish. Garlic and onions, ginger and peppers are excellent staples to include in your meals, due to their powerful health benefits for the lungs and overall respiratory system. Also be sure to drink plenty of pure, fresh water each day, a minimum of eight ounces should be drunk every two hours. Extra virgin olive oil, virgin raw coconut butter/oil and high lignin flax seed oil are the oils of choice, and can used freely to replace all other fats and oils in the diet. Choose to cook with only virgin coconut butter/oil due to its ability to withstand high heats.

If your asthma attacks tend to be provoked by stress, combine half a teaspoon each of baking soda and sea salt in organic juice or pure, filtered water, and drink immediately.

According to leading naturopathic physician and researcher Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., President Emeritus of Bastyr University, a vegan diet can significantly improve symptoms of most respiratory conditions, including bronchitis. Such a diet involves eliminating all animal products, as well as fish, eggs, milk, and all other dairy products. Grains should also be avoided, or eaten in minimal amounts. Dr. Pizzorno advises limiting your fluid intake to pure, filtered water (avoid chlorinated, fluoridated tap water), and emphasize plenty of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, especially romaine lettuce, carrots, beets, onions, celery, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumber, radishes, Jerusalem artichokes, beans (except soy and green peas), blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cloudberries, black currants, gooseberries, plums, and pears. Apples and citrus fruits are not recommended, however. Dr. Pizzorno reports that over 90 percent of all people who follow a vegan diet for at least one year experience notable improvements in their health.

The raw food diet is another food plan that can have many benefits for those suffering from Asthma. The guidelines outlined above apply with a few differences. The diet is based on raw fruits, vegetables, and soaked and sprouted nuts and seeds, supplemented with daily consumption of fresh green juices made from a variety of green vegetables such as celery, romaine lettuce, spinach, carrot, kale, parsley, with an every rotating seasonal selection of other vegetables. Daily salad meals, dehydrated flax crackers, seed and nut pates, blended soups, smoothies and marinated vegetable salads, often mixed with soaked sea vegetables are the base for the raw diet. Since little to no cooked food is consumed, the raw diet has the advantage of instant elimination of many common allergens. No cooked wheat or wheat byproducts are consumed, and generally dairy products are not consumed, though some might choose to eat moderate quantities of raw goat or sheep’s milk products, often in the form of a fermented food, such as homemade raw kefir or yogurt.

Dr. Gabriel Cousins, at the Tree of Life Center endorses the raw food plan as the ultimate healing diet, and offers 100% raw food meals at his healing retreat in Patagonia, Arizona. What is important to note when choosing a raw food diet is the issue of trade-out. You might miss cooked foods, though you will not miss Asthma attacks, and more times than not the raw food diet can be an incredible tool to move out of serious health challenges into greater health and well being.

Herbs: Useful herbs for helping to prevent and reverse asthma symptoms include cayenne pepper, ephedra (although the Food and Drug Administration tried to ban ephedra, it is now once again available due to a federal court ruling that overthrew the FDA ban), garlic, gingko biloba, green tea, gumweed, horse chestnut, Indian tobacco, jujube plum, licorice root, lobelia, marshmallow root, mullein, onion, passionflower, skunk cabbage, slippery elm, and thyme.

Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies for asthma include Ammonium carbonicum, Aralia racemosa, Arsenicum album, Arsenicum iodatum, Cuprum metallicum, Ipecac, Kali nit, Lachesis, Lobelia, Natrum sulpuricum, Pulsatilla, Sambucus, Spongia tosta, and Sulphur.

Hydrotherapy: For acute asthma attacks, applying hot compresses to the chest can help to relieve symptoms. To enhance the effectiveness, simultaneously soak your feet in hot water while covered in wool or cotton blankets. Russian steam baths (saunas with the head left outside of the steam cabinet) can also be helpful so long as you do not catch a chill afterwards.

Another hydrotherapy solution is to add 16 ounces of hydrogen peroxide in a hot bath and soak for fifteen to twenty minutes.

Hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy can be effective for relieving asthma related to stress caused by unresolved emotions. During hypnotherapy sessions, trained health practitioners can use hypnotherapy help their patients better understand the emotional issues that trigger their asthma attacks, and also guide the individual to reframe experiences from the past that set the emotional issues in motion. As this is accomplished, the emotions themselves become resolved, which can lead to a complete cessation of asthma attacks, in many cases.

Improving Indoor Air Quality: Improving the quality of your indoor air, both at home and at work, is an essential self-care step for helping to treat and prevent respiratory conditions, including bronchitis. Healthy air is warm, free of pollutants and odors, has a relative humidity of between 35 to 60 percent, and is high in oxygen and negative ions (3,000 to 6,000 negative ions per cubic centimeter). Today’s technology makes it easy to ensure that your indoor air meets the above criteria. A negative ion generator can not only increase the oxygen and negative ion content of indoor air, but can also cleanse it of harmful animal dander, bacteria, dust, mold, pollen, and viruses. Moreover, negative ions help to soothe and repair damaged mucosa of the nasal, lung, and bronchial pathways. For best results, choose a self-regulating negative ion generator that emits at least one trillion negative ions per second.

You should also use a humidifier to keep your indoor air moist, especially during winter months, when air tends to be drier. Choose a warm mist unit. Adding plants to your home and work environments can also help keep air moist. Certain plants, such as chrysanthemums, philodendron, and spider plants, can also help to keep your air free of circulating dust and microorganisms, since they act as natural air filters.

Also be sure that your home and work environments are properly ventilated, and avoid the use of synthetic materials in your home and workplace, including plastics. Whenever possible choose organically produced towels and sheets, wool or other hypo allergenic blankets and comforters, and a non toxic bed. Numerous options can be found online, and more and more products of this kind can be found in today’s marketplace.

Infraspinatus Respiratory Response (I.R.R.) Therapy: Developed by Harry H. Philibert, M.D., of Metairie, Louisiana, Infraspinatus Respiratory Response (I.R.R.) Therapy addresses the Infraspinatus Respiratory Response (I.R.R.), also known as the Infrascapula Respiratory Reflex. I.R.R. is a neuromuscular response that is directly linked to the sympathetic nervous system and is involved in the breathing difficulties caused by bronchitis. The I.R.R. is also involved in pneumonia and asthma. According to Dr. Philibert, who has successfully treated thousands of patients suffering from asthma and other respiratory disorders, manipulation of the I.R.R. can reverse, and many times completely eliminate asthma attacks.

I.R.R. Therapy involves the use of lidocaine injections into the infraspinatus muscle, which, when constricted, can exacerbate bronchitis symptoms. In cases of acute bronchitis, Dr. Philibert says practitioners can often achieve complete cessation of symptoms in a single session, while for chronic cases of bronchitis success is usually achieved in three to five treatments. Dr. Philibert has trained over 3,000 physicians in the I.R.R. technique. To locate one near you, contact Dr. Philibert at [phone].

Juice Therapy: To help prevent outbreaks of asthma attacks, consider fasting on distilled water and lemon juice for one to three days, and then continue drinking lemon juice and pure, filtered water each morning, half an hour before eating breakfast. Other juicing remedies include carrot and celery; carrot and radish; and carrot and spinach. Radish, lemon, garlic, comfrey, and horseradish mixed with carrots and beets can also be effective, as can fresh squeezed grapefruit juice in moderation, consume no more than 8 ounces of fruit juice daily.

Nutritional Supplementation: Useful nutrients for treating asthma include vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B5, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, and essential fatty acids, especially omega-3 oils. In severe cases, combining the above vitamins and minerals and administering them as an intravenous injection can also be effective. Other useful supplements include beta carotene, bee pollen, quercetin, manganese, and selenium. Betaine HCl, lycopene, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can also be helpful.

Alternative Professional Care
The following therapies can also help to prevent and relieve asthma:
Acupressure, Acupuncture, Biofeedback Training and Neurotherapy, Bodywork (Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, Hellerwork, Massage, Rolfing, and Shiatsu), Chelation Therapy, Chiropractic, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Medicine (Light Beam Generator, Ondamed), Environmental Medicine, Flower Essences, Guided Imagery, Light Therapy , Magnet Therapy, Mind/Body Medicine, Oxygen Therapy (Ozone), Qiqong, Tai Chi, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Yoga.
