Asthma Children Can Be Cured
By Ian McAllister
Childhood Asthma is a chronic lung disease characterized by tight airways -- a result of airways being too responsive. Our airways are meant to respond to harmful substances in the air. Our airways shrink when we're in a smoky atmosphere, protecting our delicate lung tissues from the noxious ingredients in the smoke. They should go back to normal in fresh air but it doesn't always work that way with asthmatics.
That's the official point of view, from a medical industry that claims not to know how to cure asthma. The people who do cure the problem say that asthma is your body's attempt to compensate for bad breathing methods. So you should learn to breathe properly.
Here are some warning signs
Sleeping baby breathes faster than 40/minute.
Infant won't feed.
Ribs are prominent from the effort of breathing in.
Chest is enlarged.
Your baby's face becomes pale or very red.
Lack of breath makes him/her cry less for shorter times.
Gasps breath through open mouth and widened nostrils.
Grunts like a pig during breast feeding.
Asthma and pregnancy
So much for asthma in kids. Now how could mothers induce asthma? (I'm not letting fathers off the hook either.) Your baby gets all it's oxygen from your breathing so you should learn to breathe properly. So if you have asthma yourself, learn to cure it to let your baby have enough Oxygen. Yes you can learn to cure your own asthma and that of your children.
Doctors like to charge you as much as possible, like any other business people. They offer us quack medicine to make us feel better, while making asthma worse, while telling us there is no cure. CORRECTION: I've just discovered it's not all the GPs' fault. They have been told by the medical industry that they will lose their licence to practice medicine if they tell you about the free cure for asthma.
The medical industry offers this official point of view (note the drug adverts included): "Remember: Using asthma medicine during pregnancy is much safer than letting your asthma get out of control. Such asthma medicines as inhaled beta-agonists (quick relief medicines like Maxair or Proventil), cromolyn (medicines that prevent triggers from causing reactions in your lungs, like Intal), and inhaled steroids (long-term controller medicines like Flovent) are safe for pregnant women when you take them as directed by your doctor. Please don't read the instructions as it might decrease our income." Some of that is untrue.
If you smoke while you are pregnant it's more likely that your baby will be born too early and too small. Your baby is more likely to be sick more often too. That applies too to alcohol and other drugs - including prescription drugs.
Prevention of asthma in toddlers
Here is where the husband comes in. If anybody in the house smokes (see childhood asthma symptoms above) pediatric asthma treatment is much more likely to be your never-ending task.
More and more employers are providing private rooms with breast pumps so new mothers can return to work and breastfeed the new babies. Is this because employers are extra generous? No. Statistics show that new mothers who breast feed have much lower absenteeism rates. Donna Monroe says "She has less chance of getting breast cancer... less chance of osteoporosis...and it helps lose her weight faster. It helps her uterus contract and go back into her pelvis more quickly." She adds "I have data that show that mothers who breast feed miss far less work because of sick babies. They'll have fewer ear infections... less diarrhea... less asthma... eczema... allergies."
GPs responsible for asthma in kids
We can't lay all the blame on the parents. GPs cause a lot of the trouble in their endless attempts to sell you more drugs. Children are more likely to get asthma (according to research) if they are prescribed antibiotics before they are six months old.
Abusing prescription drugs is as common as, or maybe even more common than, street drug use - and GPs are often to blame. People die from asthma prescription drugs.
your children's immune system may be so weakend by steroid drugs prescribed by your GPs that they catch every disease that is going around.
Danger in the showers. When chlorine vaporizes it combines with other airborne particles and forms gaseous chloroform which has been shown to encourage breathing problems such as asthma. The U.S. EPA states that "Due to chlorine and showering, there is an elevated level of chloroform gas in virtually every home in America...". soaking in it in a swimming pool is even worse.
Sing Your Cares Away
Maldon & South Chelmsford Primary Care Trust has started a project to improve the quality of life of local children with asthma.
"Asthma is a serious condition for many youngsters," says Sarah Southerby, the PCT's healthy living co-ordinator. "The 'Huff and Puff' project holds innovative classes using song and art as mediums for helping children to control their breathing."
The workshops include simple songs, rhythms and breathing techniques, to teach the children not to panic when they suffer shortness of breath.
