Another condition increasing around the western world, asthma is a chronic inflammation & congestion of the airways in the lungs, leading to breathing difficulties of varying severity. Affecting children & adults, in its most severe form it can be fatal.
The conventional treatment involves preventative (prophylactic) drugs taken daily & stong, suppressive drugs to treat an acute
attack.
There is no doubt that in a severe attack where the person cannot breath, drugs are necessary & life-saving.
However, it is our view (& many other practitioners, including many medical doctors) that prophylactic drugs are health-destroying in the long-run & weaken the lungs, making them more “twitchy”.
Tragically, diet is not seriously considered as a cause of asthma in medical circles.
However, asthma is without doubt diet-related. We have helped many asthmatics return to excellent health after adopting the health principles we know work.
The earlier the asthmatic makes these critical & health-restoring changes, the greater the chance of complete disease reversal. Conversely, the longer the asthmatic takes strong, cortizone- based drugs, the more difficult it becomes to completely reverse this condition.
In extremely severe cases, a period of therapeutic fasting works wonders, the person breathing easily within a few days. This fasting must always be done under professional supervision by someone with experience, as fasting is a specialty itself.
