New research shows that ingredients found in asthma inhalers actually
worsen the condition in asthmatics, creating a cycle of dependence on
the inhaler. Asthma inhalers are largely unnecessary in the first place,
since nearly every case of asthma can be reversed through dietary
changes alone.
There are two culprits when it comes to asthma: cow's
milk and lack of water. Cow's milk is the leading cause of asthma,
especially in infants, and nearly everyone who stops consuming dairy
products for 30 days sees their asthma improve dramatically or disappear
altogether. Lack of water is the second leading cause, and the sad fact
is that most Americans live their entire lives in a state of chronic
dehydration. The constriction of capillaries in the lungs is the body's
way of reducing water loss during respiration. This physiological
response is frequently and inappropriately diagnosed as asthma by
doctors. What doctors need to be prescribing is water, not steroids, and
they need to be telling their patients to drink only water, not
soft drinks, not juice, not punch, and certainly not cow's milk.
It
almost sounds too simple to be true, but I believe that avoiding all
dairy products and drinking nothing but fresh water will reverse more
than 95% of the asthma now being observed in the population. Of course,
it only works if you actually do it. Asthma cannot be reversed by simply
thinking about giving up soft drinks and cow's milk -- the person
actually has to take the action. Sounds stupid, I know, but you'd be
surprised to learn how many asthma patients will agree with all this and
never follow a word...
