My husband had asthma since he was a child. My 3rd child also has asthma. For years, it was a constant routine of inhalers, steroids, trips the ER, etc. I'm sure many of you are with me on this. I remember being in the hospital delivering my 4th and right after that, my husband was downstairs in the ER with my 3rd for a severe asthma attach. Stressful. This poor child was born an athlete but would always end up sitting out because the grass would inflame him. I pretty much thought this would be our routine. He was on several drugs, which I hated, and so was my husband. I didn't know a way around it. One day, my son had a particularly bad attack and I took him to the ER. This time, the Dr told me that there is a point of no return with asthma and we may be about there. What??!!! I had never realized that asthma couldn't always be controlled. I was scared to death and so sad to see such a sick looking child. I took him to an allergist who told me that we needed to lower his allergy baseline so that when allergies hit, he didn't go right to an attack. His option was more drugs. We went for it and it helped. However, the idea of him and my husband being on drugs for their whole lives didn't sit well with me. The doctors words stuck with me. We needed to lower their baseline. Asthma is an inflammation in the airways. How do we lower the inflammation? I set to work, studying all I could. First, I removed dairy. HUGE no no for asthmatics!! Dairy creates mucous. I don't need to explain why you don't want that in your airways. Then, I added the asthma cocktail; liquid D3, buffered C, magnesium and A & I (allergy and inflammation from New Beginnings. ) In a matter of a couple months, my husband and son were off all medications. To this day, 12 years later, neither of them have had an allergy attack. Ever. They maybe take a hit of an inhaler twice a year, tops. My son is a star athlete for High school on dusty grass fields. He can breathe. It is such a blessing to no longer have the stress of asthma in our lives. I have had several friends try this same treatment with the same miraculous effect. Asthma is a reaction. Reactions have a cause. Treat the cause. The end.
