Guest guest Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 ASTHMA TREATMENT THAT WORKS _http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v01n08.shtml_ (http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v01n08.shtml) (OMNS) People with severe asthma have low blood concentrations of ascorbate (vitamin C), particularly men [1] and children [2]. Effective asthma treatment is readily available with cheap, safe and convenient vitamin C. The only requirement is to take enough vitamin C to be effective. Typical dietary quantities and low supplemental doses do not work. Robert F. Cathcart III, M.D., who has treated many asthma sufferers, says “ Asthma is most often relieved by bowel tolerance doses of ascorbate (vitamin C). A child regularly having asthmatic attacks following exercise is usually relieved of these attacks by large doses of ascorbate. So far all of my patients having asthmatic attacks associated with the onset of viral diseases have been ameliorated by this treatment.â€[3] If you want asthma relief, consider trying this: Go to a discount store and buy a large bottle of 1,000 mg vitamin C tablets. The cost should be less than $15. Beginning when you awake in the morning, take 1,000 to 2,000 mg of vitamin C every 30 minutes and continue doing so until you have a single episode of loose stool (not quite diarrhea). If you haven’t had loose stool after 15 hours on this dosage, increase the vitamin C to 3000 mg every 30 minutes. After you have a loose bowel movement, reduce the dosage to 2,000 mg of vitamin C every hour. You will quickly find the dosage that is right for you. Adjust the dosage of vitamin C downward to stay below the dosage that will cause loose stool and adjust it upward to relieve asthma symptoms. The usual maintenance dosage to remain asthma-free is 15,000 to 50,000 mg of vitamin C per day taken in eight equally divided doses. People with asthma should also avoid tobacco smoke, minimize stress in their lives and minimize their consumption of junk foods, meat and dairy products. Remember: Vitamin C replaces antibiotics, antihistamines, antipyretics, antitoxics, and antiviral drugs at saturation (bowel tolerance) levels. It reduces inflammation. A vitamin can act as a drug, but a drug can never act as a vitamin. The reason one nutrient can cure so many different illnesses is because a deficiency of one nutrient can cause many different illnesses. There is not even one death per year from vitamins. Pharmaceutical drugs, properly prescribed and taken as directed, kill over 100,000 Americans annually. Hospital errors kill still more. Unlike drugs, with vitamins, the range of safe dosages is extraordinarily large. What is Orthomolecular Medicine? Linus Pauling defined orthomolecular medicine as " the treatment of disease by the provision of the optimum molecular environment, especially the optimum concentrations of substances normally present in the human body. " Orthomolecular medicine uses safe, effective nutritional therapy to fight illness.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 EDUCATE YOURSELF AND KNOW WHAT A PARADOXICAL BRONCHOSPASM IS....caused by Albuterol, Atropine, Atrovent.....all bronchodilators. My dad died January 4th in front of us because the ignorant doctor prescibed generic atrovent nasal spray, even though anaphylaxis to Albuterol was on his chart. He was healthy one minute....dead in 30 minutes. This can happen after using these drugs over time and is lethal in minutes,,,,,where the word Paradox comes in A building fell on my biological dad when he was 35. Then my new dad of 30+ years ( age 61 ) dies of nasal spray due to ignorant physician. I never heard of this and it is reported that most physicians or patients know about it. They just put sudden cardiac arrest . MARNA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
