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.

Found Virgin Coconut OiL at a great price !!

 

I found Virgin Coconut Oil at a great price.

I just finished my jar of Dr.Bronner's coconut oil. I use it both externally & internally.

I use it as a skin & lip moisturizer. It is the healthiest way to moisturize your skin without toxic ingredients that most lip & skin moisturizers contain. It leaves your skin feeling great. I also cook with it and use a tablespoon of it in my protein shakes.  

 

Definitely a great buy, I'm going to order this again !!

 

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)

Your Moisturizer & Soap may give you cancer

Most personal care products such as moisturizers, soaps, toothpastes, shaving gels, deodorants, and lubricants contain Parabens and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) two suspected Carcinogens.

Parabens is a preservative that is widely used do to its low cost and its ability to discourage bacteria and fungus from growing inside products. The most commonly used Parabens are methylparaben, ethylparaben propylparaben and butylparaben. A recent study published in the January 2012 issue of the Journal of Applied Technology discovered parabens in 99% of cancerous breast tumors. Another study published in 2004 also found Parabens in breast tumors.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) as well as Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) are foaming agents commonly used in personal care products. SLS is a strong detergent that can destroy the skins protective layer and allow other toxic chemicals (that are usually found along with sls) to enter the bloodstream. SLS is irritating to the eyes, gums, skin, and hair follicles.


Throw away your skin moisturizer and use Virgin Coconut oil. This is the only moisturizer that i use. It heals and protects the skin while smelling great. I use it to heal and relieve dry skin, sun burns, and eczema. I also use it to make other personal care products like deodorant and toothpaste. Make sure you buy virgin coconut oil and not refined coconut oil. Always buy Virgin Coconut oil that is in a glass not a plastic container.

                                                              


                                                         

 Never use commercial soaps that contain Parabens or SLS.

The only soaps i use are the ones I make. Amora Soaps.
