Hi-- my oldest son had some asthma after having his tonsils and adenoids
removed. He went on a nebulizer for about 6-8 weeks, and then things settled
down. He needed a steroid , but it was for very temporary measures. Did the
doc indicate how long the steroids were to be used? I don't personally know
of an alternative, but I bet there is one. If not, I would bet the steroid
would be used for a very short period of time. Good luck. ~Karen

I use several types of steriod inhalers and a nebulizer, as well, but I haven't found anything *natural* ... I've always worried about using all those steroids, too ...  it's the pits!!!

Hi Amy-- This is odd -- I was diagnosed with Asthma today. Explains why
I've been going around feeling exhausted. My two daughters are similarly
sensitive and we have read a great deal and experimented with various
alternatives. email me directly if you'd like to chat about this.--

and they are very nice about answering question.

HSOs: Beyond Probiotics

A Natural Way to Boost Your Immune System by Herb Rubin, D. C.
     A disturbing question I¹m often asked as a health professional is, "I
try to eat right, I take supplements, but I just don¹t feel healthy. What
can I do?" We are seeing a dramatic rise in degenerative, chronic and
autoimmune diseases, even in children. Diseases that were once unusual,
such as chronic fatigue, severe allergies, asthma, fibromyalgia, diabetes,
candidiasis, severe digestive disorders and environmental/chemical
sensitivities are becoming common. More people complain of getting
recurring colds, flu and infections. Each generation seems weaker than the
last. With all the nutritional supplements and advances in traditional
medicine, why is this happening?
....
Generally, intestinal toxemia manifests as one or more of the
following: fatigue, nervousness, gastrointestinal upset, impaired
nutrition, skin problems, circulatory problems, headaches, arthritis,
sciatica and low back pain, allergy, asthma, eye, ear, nose and throat
disease, heart irregularities, appendicitis, diverticulitis, irritable
bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, Crohn¹s disease, diabetes, psoriasis,
high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and pathological changes
in the breasts. All of these have responded to therapy directed at a
toxemic state in the' intestine.

ok how strange is this? I can't believe the difference 1 dose of my inhaler
has made. I feel like a different person. I have so much more energy, etc.
Although it did give me the shakes for the first 1/2 h.

amy,
my dh and 2 out of my 4 children had severe asthma as infants and toddlers
and we have virtually eliminated it through homeopathy, chiropractic, and
seeking out and eliminating allergy triggers, especially diet. I WOULD BE
HAPPY TO GO INTO MORE DETAIL IF YOU WANT. FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL ME PRIVATELY.
