Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Hi Bernice: Go to www.asthstory.com and www.immed/org and read everything on these two sites. You just might find a cure there. Next being the hard part educating a doctor to properly treat you. Walt breathing problems My name is Bernice. I have had asthma all my life, and I am now the age of 25. For the last two weeks I have had allot of trouble with my asthma. I have been getting sample inhalers of Advair from the doctor, well the last two weeks they have been out as well as me. So I have been living off of my resuce inhaler and my updraft machine. I go to college and it takes every bit of breath and energy just to get from one class to the next. I have been so tired I just can't stand it. I am almost ready to have a break down. I have been hospitalized for my asthma before, but for some reason I do not remember my asthma this much trouble. I have ready to cry and just give up. my chest is always hurting me from my labored breathing. My husband does not know what to do for me. I just need some one to talk to.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Hi Bernice: Sorry one address is wrong. www.asthmastory.com is the corrected address. On www.Immed.com go to symtoms and scrol down till you see the box with additional conditions far right. There Asthma is listed. I'm being treated by their methods by my doctor. Alternate doctors are your best bet, or one with a completely open mind! Get rid of the ones who say we do not know what causes Asthma. A search on googlre will bring up "alternate doctors" if you search for them. Hope this helps. Walt breathing problems My name is Bernice. I have had asthma all my life, and I am now the age of 25.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Hi Bernice, I am Lawrence, have you had allergy testing?, if so do you know what your source problems are?, if not I can give you a do it yourself routine and show you how to address some of your problem which might be helpful for you. If you might have a look at my netsite, www.home.acenet.net.au/lagas you might understand more, the information there is several years behind and there are a few new ideas which have improved the whole thing. The notes are downloadable, the method keeps improving with more feedback over the years. If you are interested I can probably help you somewhat more. By the way, "do you have a table salt shaker with salt"? and are you aware of Professor Buteyko's theories with regard to breathing and asthma? (just the carbondioxide theory) Cheers Lawrence. breathing problems My name is Bernice. I have had asthma all my life, and I am now the age of 25.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Bernice, Asthma kills, easily... The deeper you slide into the pit of not breathing, the harder it is to get you out of it. Best thing to stay on top of that pit is by having a nebulizer at home with medication that you know you can take and tolerate.. C-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Walt, As you know, English is my second language. Please define 'cure' for me. I always thought that being 'cured' meant the illness is done with, gone..asta la vista.. or do you mean ' healed', made healthy again, but with no guarantee of reoccurrence? I 'trip' over how you use that word, it seems only applicable in your writings to alternative medicines, disregarding or pooh-poohing what the medical establishment has to offer.. I have studied herbal medicines, ethnobotany and alternative medicine for over 50 years and yes, there are helpful alternatives for asthmatics, that work well, too, if one knows what one is doing....but they are not without danger to use, such as ephedra or lobelia..or usually it means removing a person totally from it's environment.Mullein and Yerba Santa can also help, used by native Americans for centuries..but they do no more or are better than a shot from your rescue inhaler.. Yes, I also have in my herbal arsenal, plants, that will make breathing easier... Does it mean it's cheaper than the standard Albuterol treatment ? Not necessarily..only if I picked the plants myself and administered them myself. Less risk ? Not necessarily either, if bought from suppliers we really do not know how they are monitored. If you have mold in your house and Asthma, you need to get rid of the mold and will get better, BUT your body will be sensitized to mold and asthma will reoccur when you come in contact with mold where ever it may be... Asthma kills, you might think you are cured, for you did not have an attack for awhile..but when it 'pop's ' up again, it usually rears it's ugly head worst than before. Who knows why we get Asthma, did I get mine from the deplorable health conditions that existed after WW2 in Europe, from the firebombs that where dropped on my house ? Who do I blame ?? It does not matter when you have asthma, you need relief.NOW.. If we want to root out all the causes that can bring asthma, go and built yourself a bubble and that bubble better not be out of plastic, for all petroleum derived materials are sensitizers for asthmatic people. Some years ago, one of the major newspapers in our State wrote about my environmental work, called me the one of the gutsiest people alive for the battles I have waged to keep this State from pollution.. Even if everyone would do what I did, we can not roll the clock back, asthma is here to stay. People want cheap and easy, which is not compatible with a clean environment. We are not willing to pay taxes for it, nor vote in the politicians that have the guts to restrict big business in it's output of pollutants.Dioxins and PCP ar e found in the Antarctic. There is no such thing as a 'safe' place anymore. Pollutants from the air has reached our back yard vegetable garden and our own wells 4oo feet deep if you live in an agricultural area.. There might be help from different sources to make our life easier and asthma go away for some years, but basically once your bronchi's have learned to restrict, they will keep doing so if you are sensitized. There is a genetic component to allergies in families that can cause asthma, one is having atopic skin, something one is born with. Maybe genetic engineering will find the right DNA to split some day, it truly could mean a cure for asthma. C-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Hi Christa : I'll answer in the text below. Re: breathing problems > Walt, > As you know, English is my second language. > Please define 'cure' for me. > I always thought that being 'cured' meant the illness is done with, > gone..asta la vista.. > or do you mean ' healed', made healthy again, but with no guarantee of > reoccurrence? (Walt) They both mean cured. Nothing garantees no re-occurence. Espoecially if its put into the environment like alot of this is. In other words intentionally done! > I 'trip' over how you use that word, it seems only applicable in your > writings to alternative medicines, disregarding or pooh-poohing what the > medical establishment has to offer.. (Walt) Here you totally misunderstand me. I'm not against regular medicine and all for alternate medicine actually the two are the samething. The difference is how it is applied. Both are Doctors with real medical degrees. One practices medicine a certain way and the other a totally different way. Its been my personal experience regular docs treat symptoms where alternate doctors try the whole person looking at the complete body for a more permanent cure. > I have studied herbal medicines, ethnobotany and alternative medicine > for over 50 years and yes, there are helpful alternatives for > asthmatics, that work well, too, if one knows what one is doing....but > they are not without danger to use, such as ephedra or lobelia..or > usually it means removing a person totally from it's > environment.Mullein and Yerba Santa can also help, used by native > Americans for centuries..but they do no more or are better than a shot > from your rescue inhaler.. (Walt) Here your talking about natural herbal medicine that is different from medicine and alternate medicine. I'm into this too. But do not know enough to recommend anything to anyone in it. I do know what works for me but i'd hate to tell another its their cure all. > Yes, I also have in my herbal arsenal, plants, that will make breathing > easier...

(Walt) I feel like you're lecturing me here, grin. I would like to state things are different today. That said alotr going on causing desease is man made pushed on us to make us sick. That is the part i'm addressing. Knowing full well the parts you bring up. EPIDEMIC means that its increasing at a rapid rate! Because it is intentionally being spred! > Some years ago, one of the major newspapers in our State wrote about my > environmental work, called me the one of the gutsiest people alive for the battles I > have waged to keep this State from pollution..

You'd be hard put getting cured without doing it the way that has been found to woipe out these bio-engineered deseases. I'm focusing on these! They made me sick and being out spoken and gutsey like you is why I was targeted. They want me to shut up because I am exposing them.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Hi All I can say to you, after reading that lot, is 6 weeks ago my drug list was fairly similar to yours. I had brittle asthma very badly controlled. The specialist put me on Seretide Accuhaler 500 (Advair in US) and I am now off every drug apart from this inhaler. My asthma is now well controlled, only one or two minor blips since I had this. It's been a miracle drug for me but I don't know if it works for everyone but urge your specialist to try it. Good Luck from June > > > Hi > this is what i take everday for my asthma > > {1}take 1 capsule every 12 hours theophylline 300mg > {2}take 1 tablet daily loratadine 10mg > {3}take 1 tablet daily singulair 10 mg > {4} use 1 capsule inhaled twice daily foradil aerolizer 12mcg casch > > and this is what i take as i need it > > {1} xopenex 0.63 mg/3 ml solutisep that i put in to my proneb > {2} albuterol 90 mcg inhaler war > {3} nasacort aq nasal spray ave > > here is the time's for the ones i take everday > > {1} at 8:15am 1 capsule of my theophylline and 1 of levothyroxine 75 > mcg > {2} at 4:15 pm 1 capsule of my theophylline and 1 of singulair > {3} at 12:15 am 1 capsule of my thophylline and 1 of loratadine > > and with all that going on i am still having trouble with my > breathing and my dr has to put me on 20 mg of prednisone to help me > > what am i doing wrong or what can i chain to help me? > > thank you > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
