Help for asthmatics that can't exercise?

[Guest guest]

An asthma study from Tel-Aviv University reported that the antioxidant,

lycopene, may be the answer to EIA (exercise induced asthma) problems (Allergy

00;55(12):1184-9).

 

This was a short term study, but it showed thatout of twenty patients with EIA,

1/2 the group was given 30 mg. of lycopene a day for a week (equivalent to 3/4

of tomato sauce), and vs. the other 1/2 of controls, 55% had an improvement in

their lung function (vs. 15% reduction in the controls) following a set exercise

program.

 

I thought that this may be of interest to those that were using the asthma

" string-of-ailments-limiting-my recovery " " crutch " .

Crutch, eh? Thanks, Steve! Where did you say you were in Portsmouth?!?!?

 

Seriously, thanks to all who responded to my question about asthma. I am

saving all the responses and am looking them over for what seems to 'make

sense' for me. But I have to tell you, Jennie's 'Sniffy' is STILL at the

top of the list!!!

 

EIA, hunh?! Great, now I can join the ranks of folks who have a bad case of

acronymitis! You have ADD?!?! Well, shucks, that's nuthin' Honey'!!

I...HAVE...EIA!!!! So there!!
