Edgar,

We in the business have been going around and around about this thermoplasty.

I understanbd the the super heated water will be forced down the bronchilals

hopefully keeping them more open in asthma attacks. But what doe it do the the

linig of the walls and the cilia that is important. It is like a burn, do the

walls recover and are they compliant & sofe like they were? Seems to me they

can't be. I'll wait in judegement of this until much more data is available. I

would not submit for it myself. Make up your own mind by speaking to several

physicians and reading everything you can get your hands on.

Thank you for the input. I will ask my allergist and primary care

doc to see what they think. I am kind of desperate at this point. As

not much seems to work.
