Trouble shooting your Asthma and nutritional solutions

When you have Asthma it means that your immune system has been activated. It is an inflammatory response that constricts your bronchioles which can result in coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and/or chest tightness.

Medical doctors treat this condition with dangerous immune suppressing steroidal drugs.

I think it is an unwise idea to shut down the body's immune system. When we shut down the body's immune system we are more susceptible to sickness and/or disease. We are playing with fire when we do such things.

I do believe there is use for these type of drugs for emergency purposes and people with asthma should have these on hand incase of severe asthmatic attack.

If you would like to figure out how to solve this chronic problem though there is a way to do so.

Since asthma is the result of the immune system being activated, we want to find out what is activating the immune system. What is getting into the body that is causing this inflammatory immune response ?

There are only 3 ways that things can get into the body. Through the nose, mouth, or skin.

1) You can inhale something that causes an immune response.
2) You can absorb something through the skin (rare).
3) You can eat something that is causing an immune response.

The majority of the time it is what we are eating that is causing an immune response.

The most common food allergens or immune activating foods are dairy, wheat, peanuts, and soy, but any food (no matter how healthy)can cause an immune response.

The first strategy is to find out what food is causing your immune system to be activated and eliminate that food.

The second strategy is to use anti-inflammatory nutrients.

The most effective way to find out what food is triggering your asthma is to keep a food diary.
Write down every food or drink that you ingest and the time that you eat it.
You should also write down how you feel after you eat that food. 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours after you eat that food.

Look for digestive symptoms like gassiness, bloating, belching, indigestion, heart burn.
Look for any skin reactions.
Look for any other reactions in the body including the asthma.

 If I had asthma I would take advantage of these excellent digestive strengthening and anti-inflammatory supplements.

Magnesium glycinate-300mg 2 times per day (anti-inflammatory & has a relaxing vasodilating effect )

Vitamin E mixed tocopherols- 400 IU per day (make sure that it does not contain soy oil which is a GMO Oil and that it contains mixed tocopherols. Also make sure that it is not made of dl-Tocopherol which is derived from coal tar.)You want the Vitamin E to say d-tocoherol and mixed tocopherols.

Selenium: 200 mcg per day. selenomethione is the best form.
You can also obtain 200mcg of selenium by taking 2-3 brazil nuts per day.(however selenium content varies depending on the soil that the brail nuts were grown in)

Probiotics-8 billion bacteria before breakfast and before bed time when stomach acid is at its lowest.

The Proper way to poop

 
 
Educational video about the effects of improper toilet posture and how it can affect your health. How toilet posture can help with straining issues such as Hemorrhoids, Pelvic organ prolapse and constipation with squatting to eliminate. A great healthy solution.
 
Humans were not designed to sit on a toilet. They were meant to eliminate wastes by squatting. When you sit down on a toilet your puberectalis muscle presses on your rectum, making it harder for waste to pass through. When you squat your rectum is properly aligned with your colon for easier elimination. If you are struggling at the toilet (and even if you are not) try placing your feet on a small stool while you are sitting on the toilet so that your legs are elevated just enough so that your rectum is not being choked by your puberectalis muscle.
 (watch the video to get a visualization of this)

Eczema

Eczema can be helped without dangerous drugs.
I have helped myself and many other's clear up eczema through dietary supplementation.

First work on your digestive system.
Take a probiotic supplement that includes several strains of live bacteria daily. (take first thing in the morning before eating or right before bed)

If I had severe digestive issues I would take digestive enzymes that would assist the body in digesting and absorbing food.

Take omega 3 essential fatty acids daily
(Make sure the mercury has been removed from any fish oil supplement)

The supplements that i recommend are
"Fish oil Daily DHA" & "Super Dophilus"

If you think you need digestive enzymes
"Digestive Helper" is a great supplement


Stay away from fried food, gluten, sodas, and eliminate processed foods.
If you must use a moisturizer use "Virgin coconut oil" that is in a glass bottle (not plastic)
