Most people are totally hung up on the restrictive, qualitative way of thinking. "What's in it, how much of this, etc."

 

Thank you for making this important point.

i have been seeing lot of messages on problems of ashthma which to me is very easy to cure. in indian system of ayurveda all the problems are caused by 3 elements including water and air which cause ashtama. during my astrology days hundreds were cured by 50-75% within say a fortnight by wearing stones.our finger ends are antenne which collect planetary energy and each finger denotes one planet. when some planet is weak people wear stones to collect more rays from that planet to improve the results of that planet. a electro magnetic field is created which then injects the rays through finger end to the body. in ashtma case i have used stones where the back side of the ring is closed. so stones attract more rays and since it is more powerful the particular finger antenne does not get rays and the effect of that planet is much weakened. i would normally find from the actual effect on the patient. i may write bigger note and send later.but to give you an idea, pearl is used on the

patient who gets cold very fast, avoid cold drinks or curd, have uneasy mind and specially may have recd less love from their mother. in this case mind also attains peace. where people are having more strained nerves, get irritated very fast, blow hote & cold easily, emareld is the key. depending on the symptoms one of them say 4 to 6 carets is to be worn. normally one gets the results in 3 days. if the particular ring does not suit, ashtama will immidiately be aggraved without any other reason`s supplement. otherwise a big relief, better breathing even while going up staircase should result. let after say 15 days consume cold drinks, see whether cold caused by normal things does not come will prove the results. may be blood test could also ratify the same. since i have come across at least 400 patients who have been cured a lot by this, i always used to feel it is very easy to cure.

yes since i am now following a new therapy of asking forgiveness, that could always help.the ring could be made in silver. emarald ring to be worn on the smallest finger on the right hand and pearl on the next finger to that. in case one cannot afford, even if he wears moonstone or green stones, he will be benefitted. it is very easy to try. don`t reduce medicines first. within 3/7 days you will feel the difference and then it is your choice whether to reduce them or stop them and when.

I have asthma altough I only average about one attack a year. I have found

that doing yoga helps me tremendously. My sinuses are often congested

because of my allergies to dust and dog hair (I can't own cats altho I love

them). When I do yoga regularly, my sinuses stay clearer. I take enzymes for

my food allergies. I have a lot of stones and crystals and I think just

having them around does wonders for the environment. I periodically move

them around, dust where they are sitting and move ones to sunny window sills

if they have been sitting away from the light. I believe they help just by

BEING. I know there are some that help with asthma but I have never worked

with one particular stone for that purpose. Hope I was even a little

helpful! Pegasus

what you do to keep your crystal fully activated. are you using reiki. their

power will be spent and they may not be that useful.

i may suggest one way. keep your crystals in the sun for at least 2 hours in a

week and request them to draw energy from the sun. at the same time request sun

god to fully cleanse them & energise. this works wonder for restoring them to

their best health and then they give much better results. their glow could also

improve. one more suggestion if you are not doing it. put crystals on a cotton

or cotton cloth and never on earth. firstly their energy will not pass on the

earth and it is our way of honouring them.

Lots of good info here. Fish

Oil is the thing I was reading about. AND staying away from the bad,

overheated fats, as in frying. Using good fats,such as olive oil and

coconut oil, etc. Dr Dave's fish oil is best one I"ve found, but so

expensive. I am searching for another with low or no mercury content.

Thre things missd by the article that are extremely important:

 

" ...mannans, polymers of mannose, can block the proinflammatory

effects of myeloperoxidase " , indicates that certain foods such as

aloe vera, which is very strong in mannans, might help. Also,

" ...mannose, as well as N-acetylglucosamine, inhibit radical

production. Of course, radical production would cause tissue damage

and induce/perpetuate the inflammatory response " , indicates the free

radical response can be controlled, and now you also have two

glyconutrient sugars that can control inflammation.

Http://glycoscience.org

 

Antioxidants especially glutathione increasers as the obvious choice

to quench radicals; the lungs are the third largest users of this

important antioxidant. I've repeatedly mentioned its usefulness in

lung disease, and here's the scientific material that prove the

point.

http://members.shaw.ca/widewest/GSH_medline.html

 

Also, the nitric oxide link (low nitric oxide) to asthma is on my

website on the nitric oxide references. Nitric oxide improves vein

wall tone, so reduces constriction.

 

Here's some info that points to a potential mineral deficiency in

asthma -magnesium. But 80% of us are magnseium deficient, yet 80% of

us do not have asthma.

Another supplement for asthma:

 

http://www.usana.com/products/optomizers/proflavonal90.shtml

 

Scientists have identified more than 20,000 bioflavonoids and

bioflavonols with differing degrees of antioxidant activity.

Proanthocyanidins (a type of bioflavonol) appear to be some of the

most powerful free-radical scavengers yet discovered.*

Proanthocyanidins are found in many types of foods, but only in

extremely small amounts.

 

Why Proflavanol 90?

 

Proanthocyanidins are distributed to virtually every organ and

tissue, and remain in the body for up to 72 hours.*

Proanthocyanidins may be bioavailable and are absorbed from the

stomach into the bloodstream.*

Not only do proanthocyanidins neutralize free radicals themselves,

but they conserve and regenerate vitamins C and E.*

Vitamin E is a powerful free-radical scavenger, and flavonols and

vitamin C regenerate vitamin E.*

Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat,

cure, or prevent any disease.

Nice compassion-stirring article, but there has been non-drug asthma

relief for thousands of years.

 

Asthma is marked by two occurrences which if addressed can minimize

the disorder.

 

1) Low antioxidant status generally but noticeable in the lungs,

especially of reduced glutathione. The lungs are the third biggest

users of GSH, the bdy's major antioxidant and detoxifier.

 

Using cold-processed whey and selenium will minimize the toxin load

in the lungs, quenching free radical cascades causing the irritation.

With the irritation gone there is less mucous and less inflammation.

Other antioxidants on a program with that, plus vitamin B, work well

on even COPD.

 

2) Low nitric oxide production in the lungs. Not only an antioxidant,

nitric oxide improves airway flow by slacking capilliary lining

tension. The capilliaries are supposed to produce their own.

 

You can increase it with Noni Extract, powdered whole Noni, and

lastly Noni juice in order of decreasing potency. Of the juices,

Enliven International's Royal Pacific Noni is the most potent.

Increase nitric oxide also with argingine but I wouldn't want to give

much of that growth hormone increaser to a child. (you'd get a very

big child)

 

The pertinent passages are on my sit in the nitric oxide page

references and the glutathione references.

This is not a " natural " cure, but it might do until something better comes

along:

i had the exact same thing--my Dr. said it was the worst asthma he'd ever

seen. He finally " cured " it (meaning i've been symptom free for 3 yrs.!!

With NO prednisone!!--and when i went on prednisone i was on it more than i

was off, and i had to take 60-80 mg. per day for a week or more before i

even began to wean off) by putting me on Prilosec (which i have since

stopped)--on the theory that often liquid that comes up causing " heartburn "

sometimes goes into the lungs--because i would often wake up with asthma for

no reason. And i take one " puff " of the strongest Ad-Vair inhaler in the

morning and at night, and i take 1 Singulair 10 mg. at night. And that's

it. And if i even forget them for a couple of days i still don't get sick!

and i haven't used my " rescue inhaler " (the strongest alupent they made) in

years, or my nebulizer machine, either. Everyone is different, but ask your

dr. to try it.

Thanks Vicki: for your quick response. Your experience sounds very much like my own. Prednisone at very high doses and then weaning off only to go back on within a month. As well as highest strength advair, ventolin, flovent, yada, yada, yada!!! I do remember that one of my doctors did ask whether I suffered from heart-burn or acid -reflux. I said that I don't and that is as far as he went with it. I never really put the two together, but maybe now I will follow up on this. Do you need a prescription for Prilosec?? Will any ant-acid type mediine work?? What about Apple Cider vinegar? I read somewhere that this is good for acid-reflux type problems.....~Vicky~ <vickycain wrote:

[Guest guest]

i don't think you need a prescription for prilosec anymore--i think i've seen it at Costco, but i would imagine any of the acid reflux medicines would work. i got better almost immediately after starting that--within a couple weeks. i never tried Apple Cider vinegar. Do you take Singulair? That's another pill i take. But no other inhalers except the AdVair (its the 500/50 one). Good luck! i gained about 100 lbs from prednisone in the last 8 yrs. Its nasty stuff. (But i had the gastric bypass operation last year and have now lost it all--which i'm sure helps my lungs also! LOL) But i couldn't get the surgery until i had been off prednisone and totally asthma free for at least a year.

Many of our rs are confusing simple breathlessness to asthma.

Every breathlessness need not be a asthma. It can be due to indigestion,

constipation, cold, tension, acidity etc. It is required first the proper

diagnosis and find out whether it is asthma, bronchitis or bronchial asthma.

If you have a good ayurvedic doctor, please consult the doctor who will check

your pulse and decide what it is. Then he will give you suitable medicine .

Alternatively, consult a good homeopath doctor who will give medicine based

on symptoms. Self mediccation is ok for smaller ailments. Do not do self

medication

if yo are suffering for long time. The damage will be irrepairable. In

homeopathy,

Blata Orientalis-Q (mothe tincture) 10 - 12 drops in warm water a couple of

times

a day works for any type of asthma. Again, let me warn you that homeopathy is

given

based on symptons and cannot generalise.

 

All the best.

Hi Elizabeth!

 

I'll give you my own experience with my asthma. I started having asthma

attacks when I was in college but during that time, it was still tolerable to

me. When I graduated, I could no longer hold it so I consulted a doctor and

since then, I started taking medicines. I knew before that asthma is an allergy

but I still not aware at that time what triggers my attack. Then I went to

Sudan, Africa for my work with the UN. I brought my medicines with me thinking

that I will have attacks, however, there was no asthma attacks whatsoever. I did

not even have cold problems. I was surprised to find out that my allergy was

caused by too much humidity in the Philippines. Then I was transferred to

Tanzania, another humid country as it lies in the Indian Ocean. As expected, my

asthma returned. When I was in Afghanistan sometimes ago, my asthma disappeared

again since the weather there is dry. So, for myself, I know that my asthma is

caused by humidity. Now that I am back here in Manila,

my problem returned.

 

Try to bring your baby to a drier climate, maybe it will help. Also, I saw a

lot of babies that are asthmatic but once they grow up, they get rid of the

problem.

 

CHEERS!

This product is the best I have found for asthma, I had to raise 4 nephews

and a son with asthma.

One important thing I want to pass on is that a humidifier is not usually

tolerated by asthmatics. They do much better with dry air. Get a DE-HUMIDIFIER

for the child's bedroom and perhaps another in the living area.

This product is called BRONCHOSAN and for a 2 year old, the dose is one drop

in a little water. It tastes like licorice and kids like the taste.

Also keep people with colds away from the child. It is not rude to ask

people not to come near the child if they have a cold.

A rub down with Vicks Vapo Rub on chest and back and throat is a good thing

to do also. A cotton ball with a few drops of Eucalyptus essential oil can be

put into a plastic sandwich bag and have the child breathe it once in a while

also helps, keeping it closed when not using it to preserve the smell.

Peace and healing for the little one,

My daughter was " informally " diagnosed by a doctor with asthma when

she was 2. I took her into our chiropractor and she adjusted her

and told us to use liquid lobelia in an alcohol base. She also told

us that a lot of doctors would tell us lobelia is a poison. We used

it with our daughter with no bad side effects and at three years old

she almost never has any problems with it at all. Before the

lobelia we had coughing fits day and night constantly. A

chiropractic adjustment is really great. Getting commercially made

cleaning products out of your house is important too.

Good luck- whitney

Have you considered Cystic Fibrosis or perhaps a chemical

sensitivity. my daughter had chronic cough her first 2 years of

life. i swtiched all my cleaners, laundry, personal care products

to more natural based stuff and it resolved itself. Might be

something you need to consider as well. If she comes down with a

cold, i pretty well do what you are doing, but in general she is

much better infact, complete turnaround. if you want a

recommendation for a good company let me know.

AyurvedicCure for AsthmaDr. Ananthanarayanan

SANTHIGIRI AYURVEDA & SIDDHA VAIDHYASALAwww.ayurvedasanthigiri.com,

individual.Itaffects all age group of people. Every body in city life suffers of

some ofRespiratory problem. It starts as dust allergy,sneezing, excessive cough

and cold.In course of time increased symptom leads togasping, difficulty in

breathing and wheezing Causes include, allergies,wrong and improper diet like

taking fish with milk, curd in night ,excess offat food like ice creams, pizzas,

nonvegetarian food stuffs, environmentalpollution,complication of other lung

diseases , hereditary and otherpsychological factors include attachments, grief,

fear etc.Ayurvedic viewAsthma in Ayurveda explained inthe name of TAMAKA SWASA

which is one ofthe Kapha lung disorders, due toimbalance of digestive fire

(Agni).Agni get vitiated by improper food andactivities which in turn increases

the kapha.The increased Kapha willobstructs

the channels of respiration and also increases other doshas like vataand

pitta.Even though Asthma ispredominantly of Kapha factors. Other two doshas are

also involved in this.Differentiation:Vata type Asthma characterizedby dry cough

and wheezing and additional symptoms are thirst, dry skin,constipation, anxiety

and craving for warm drinks.Breathing attacks occurpredominently at Vata time

(ie) Dwan andDusk. Pitta type Asthma incharacterized by cough and wheezing with

yellow sputum and other symptoms likefever, sweating, irritability and need for

cool air.Kapha type Asthma ischaracterized by cough and wheezing with abundant

clear or white sputum. Thelungs will be full of water producing Railing sound.

Attacks are at kapha time (ie) morning and evening.People now in the present

wouldtake pills like Asthalin ,Deriphyllin to reduce the symptom. After some

timesinhalers become very necessary to reduce symptoms. Even though there is no

suchrelief and life
