Asthma is the number one chronic illness in children and is a significant cause of infant deaths. In fact, asthma is life-threatening if left untreated or unmanaged.
Asthma is very strongly associated with air pollution. Research shows a sharp increase of overall asthmatic events since 1980. The numbers of children with asthma has increased by nearly 60% and asthma related deaths by 78%. More than 20 million Americans have asthma. Globally the statistics are even more frightening!
Asthma can be brought on by triggers such as exercise or heavy breathing, cold air, airborne irritants such as dust and molds, smoke, viral infections, allergic reactions due to pollen or food and pollutants.
When someone has asthma symptoms, it means that the breath of life obstructed from moving in and out of the lungs. This happens because of one or both of the following:
1. The lining of the airways become irritated and swollen.
2. The airways become sensitive and tighten, causing the airways to narrow.
Most likely you have already visited a doctor and have been given a prescription drug and inhalers to take for the rest of your life.
While these prescriptive medications can sometimes help control the symptoms of asthma, often a temporary measure and do not address the root cause. Most of these drugs have the potential for many negative side effects including fatigue, dizziness, depression, impotence, liver damage and more.
The good news is, you now have a safe and proven effective solution to your asthma!
