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 )

Omega 3 Fatty acids-you can do this with Fish oil (make sure the brand you take filters out the mercury) or 1-2 tbsp of flax seed oil or 2-3 tbsp of chia seeds per day (divided doses)

Vitamin C  1,000 mg 3 times per day (anti-inflammatory & immune support)
http://www.wellnessresources.com/products/vitamin_c.php/#a_aid=wellnessid

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.

Do you have Season Allergies?


My wife suffers from Seasonal allergies every year. She is allergic to the over the counter antihistamines so she cannot use them. I gave her some nutritional remedies that worked pretty well.
Most of her symptoms cleared up within 2 1/2 days !!

I gave her:

1 Fish oil/day
(has anti-inflammatory properties)
http://www.wellnessresources.com/products/dha.php/#a_aid=wellnessid

2 Quercetin/day (1 with breakfast, 1 with lunch)
(has antihistamine like effects)
http://www.wellnessresources.com/supplements/quercetin.php/#a_aid=wellnessid

3 vitamin C/day (1 with breakfast, 1 with lunch, 1 with dinner)
(immune strengthening support)
http://www.wellnessresources.com/products/vitamin_c.php/#a_aid=wellnessid

2 Vitamin D/day (1 with breakfast, 1 with lunch)
(immune strengthening support)
http://www.wellnessresources.com/products/d_vitamind.php/#a_aid=wellnessid

2 multivitamins (1 with breakfast, 1 with lunch)
(gives your body the basic vitamins & minerals needed to work optimally)
http://www.wellnessresources.com/products/daily_energy.php/#a_aid=wellnessid

2 probiotics (2 before bedtime)
(builds the intestinal "friendly bacteria" which assists the immune system)
http://www.wellnessresources.com/products/super_dophilus.php/#a_aid=wellnessid

* Also try fresh ginger tea

* digestive enzymes for their anti-inflammatory affects (taken away from meals)
When digestive enzymes are taken with food they assist in digestion, when they are taken away from meals they have anti inflammatory affect on the body.

I also gave her a hepa filter which purifies the air in her room from pollen, dust, and mold.

Your Food has been genetically manipulated

Watch the Full Documentary
Genetic Roulette
 
 
 
Never-Before-Seen-Evidence points to genetically engineered foods as a major contributor to rising disease rates in the US population, especially among children. Gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, inflammatory diseases, and infertility are just some of the problems implicated in humans, pets, livestock, and lab animals that eat genetically modified soybeans and corn.
