Can asthma be cured? What can be done to help asthmatics live normal, productive lives?

Unfortunately, there is no cure for asthma but flare-ups can be prevented by identifying your triggers and avoiding them. Learn all you can about the disease and take an active part in treatment so you won’t be bothered by asthma again.

Work closely with your doctor to develop a comprehensive asthma action plan. This will enable you to be active and sleep well at night without any symptoms. It will also reduce your medical bills by keeping you away from the hospital and let you attend work or school regularly.

More importantly, choose your doctor wisely. Remember that asthma is a long-term disease which means you’ll be working with your doctor for a long time. Choose one whom you can approach easily, who can explain things clearly, and whom you can trust.

Together with your physician’s help, you can conquer asthma. By routinely monitoring your breathing capacity and properly using the right medications, you can live a normal life and do what you want.

Two types of medications are used to reverse and prevent the symptoms of asthma. They are referred to as “relievers” and “controllers.” How do they differ?

Relievers work by opening up constricted airways, allowing you to breathe easier. That’s why they’re called bronchodilators. They’re also labeled as rescue medicine since they quickly relieve asthma symptoms like cough, chest tightness, and wheezing and make you feel better. However, they provide only temporary relief and don’t prevent or reduce the underlying inflammation or swelling that causes your symptoms.

Since the airways are inflamed in asthma and obstructed by increased mucus production, you also need anti-inflammatory medicines to remedy this condition. These drugs, which are called controllers, stop the irritation of the airways and prevent them from becoming chronically inflamed and swollen. They also decrease the amount of mucus in the lungs.

Unlike relievers that act quickly, controllers take time to act and have to be taken daily even when symptoms seem to be controlled. By preventing asthma, they help lower the dosage of bronchodilators needed to calm symptoms.

Medical experts agree that inhalation is the most direct and best way of delivering medicine into the lungs where it is needed. Since they reach the lungs faster, inhaled medicines don’t circulate throughout the body. Therefore, the drug is not wasted and there are fewer side effects. By delivering high doses of the drug straight into the airways, inhaled medicines act more quickly compared to oral medications. They also reduce the need for other oral medications.

Since obesity is bad for asthmatics, keep your weight down to a healthy level. You can do this with the help of Zyroxin, a safe and natural supplement that will maximize your weight loss through its unique fat-burning ingredients.

Do you develop an unexplainable itchy rash after eating shellfish or certain varieties of fish? How about after eating eggs or after gulping down a warm glass of milk? Have you ever experienced that unusual tingling in your mouth after eating a particular food?

If you ever experienced these symptoms, you might be suffering from food allergy.

What is a food allergy?

A food allergy is the body’s natural response upon eating certain foods, which his or her body labeled as potentially harmful. Some of the most common food allergens (that which bring about or initiate an allergic reaction) include milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat and soy.

Among the first signs of an allergic reaction are coughing and sneezing, a runny nose and red, itchy eyes. Some experience the sudden appearance of an itchy skin rash or hives and a tingling sensation in the mouth, lips and throat.

Other more serious signs of an allergic reaction include dizziness, abdominal pain and diarrhea, vomiting and wheezing. Some people may even experience sudden behavioral changes such as anger, depression and/or lethargy in response to the allergic reaction.

An allergic reaction can be manifested in different ways and in varying intensities in different people. Some allergies may show obvious symptoms while others may not. Some people may react immediately once exposed to the allergen while in other people, it may take several hours for the symptoms to be manifested.

A food allergy should not be taken lightly. Severe allergic reactions are known to result in swelling, shock and death.

How does a food allergy develop?

The human body is protected at all times by the immune system. It is the immune system’s primary responsibility to be on a constant lookout for potentially harmful substances or organisms, which may jeopardize the health of an individual.

When a person accidentally ate something, which is harmful to the body, the immune system produces special proteins called IgE antibodies. This prompts the allergy cells (called mast cells) to release certain chemicals in the bloodstream to fortify the body’s defenses. One of these chemicals is histamine. Upon its release, histamine acts on the person’s eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin and/or gastrointestinal tract, triggering the manifestation of the symptoms of the allergic reaction.

In the case of food allergies, the most common culprit is the abnormal permeability of the gastrointestinal tract. When this happens, inappropriately large food molecules may be transported into the bloodstream. Since they are abnormally sized, these food molecules might be seen as “intruders” and are therefore attacked by the antibodies.

A food allergy can develop at any age. Some may have it from birth while others develop it as they grow older or as the body is predisposed to the allergens.

How can food allergies be cured?

Probably the best way to treat food allergies is to avoid the eating anything which may trigger an allergic reaction for a period of time (preferably for 2 to 6 months). After this period, the foods can then be gradually reintroduced into your diet. For best results, the foods should be reintroduced on a rotating basis, which means that you consume them only every 4 days or more. This will allow you to eat foods you are allergic to without suffering from the usual symptoms.

There are still some other ways to fight food allergies. Others have tried administering traditional allergy shots, homeopathic treatments, herbal decoctions, high doses of vitamin C and several other treatments with varying degrees of success.

Remember that food allergies tend to run in the family. So, if ever one member of your family has a history of this condition, do take the necessary precautions.

Getting allergies is bad, having asthma is worse and having allergy induced asthma is a total nightmare, since this type of asthma is mostly triggered by anything and everything that you can possibly think of. Contrary to popular belief allergic asthma is not only caused by spores, animal dander, pollen and the other things that you find floating in the air. It can also be caused by cold weather, hot weather, the artificial flavorings that you find in most foods nowadays, and up to the cleaning agents that you might be using when “supposedly” eliminating your other allergens.

So as said earlier, it’s a nightmare to have this kind of asthma. The worse part is that more and more people are being diagnosed with this type of asthma because of adverse changes in the climate and worsening case of pollution. Allergy induced asthma can prevent you from participating in activities that you might enjoy, also limiting your capacity for school, work and mostly everything else.

But not everything is at a loss, due to the advancements being made in the field of conventional and alternative medicine; there are many methods and treatments that can come to your aid when trying to achieve relief from your condition. Here are a few examples:

Environmental Control: More in terms of your control rather than your doctors as it does not depend on any medication whatsoever. This will only involve a single procedure called Allergy Testing, where doctors will try to see your reaction of common allergens by putting small patches of it on your skin. This will allow you to see what your particular allergens. Armed with this knowledge it is then up to you on what your action plans are about these allergens. Environmental control involves making certain changes in the way that you live, changes in your home and even in what you eat. Limiting your exposure to allergens will allow your immune system that much needed recovery time, thereby strengthening your immunity to any unavoidable exposure in the future.

Alternative medications: there are many alternative medications that will help you deal with your condition while strengthening your body and immune system making you less prone to attacks caused by allergic reactions. Licorice, ginger, ginkgo biloba for example have been used by many people in the past to help with asthma and have observed vast improvements in their general health and control of the condition. Preparations are simple, effective, can work well along with conventional medication and not to mention cheap.

Immunotherapy: or aptly called allergy shots. Is the process of making your body less sensitive to your triggers by exposing you to very small amounts over a period of time? Results may tend to vary and although there have been some reports that this methods works, some divisions of conventional medicine still regard immunotherapy as inconclusive when it comes to the treatment of allergy induced asthma in general.

There are other methods that you can choose from when you want to get relief from your condition, try to ask your doctor about the other techniques and what might work well for you.

Its summertime and the kids are looking forward to going to the Summer School Programs or the local YMCA and YWCA. The one thing they want to do is go swimming. I remember as a kid going to Venetian Pool in Coral Gables, Fl. It was great, we would spend the entire day there. My brother and I did this all summer long. The kids now go to the local community pools and have a good time also. It is important that all children learn how to swim. You never know when it will come in handy later on. I taught my children how to swim at ages 2 and 3, this is young, but we live near water and in Florida. Another thing, most parents do not think about the possibility of a chlorine allergy from a swimming pool.

Chlorine is used to disinfect swimming pools to prevent algae and bacteria from building up in the water. If the water is left untreated, the water becomes detrimental to the health of the users of the pool. I remember once when my daughters went into a pool that was not sterilized properly, they ended up with ear infections from the water. At the time we did not know any better about the dangers of unsterilized water. That was a costly lesson when we had to take them to the Doctor, plus the medication. So, be aware of unsterilized pools.

If you have a chlorine allergy, you have to stay away from chloride-containing swimming pools. We have a client whose little boy is allergic to chloride-containing water and is not allowed to go to public swimming pools or to a friends house for a swimming party. It is sad, but true. They take the boy to the beach and he is fine. He has no problem in salt water. The family will invite the other kids in the neighborhood to go with them, this is how they cope with his allergy so he can have a partway normal childhood. This is only one solution for people who have this allergy, go to the beach if it is nearby.

There are other forms of disinfectant systems such as “PristineBlue” System, which is an environmentally friendly algicide and bactericide. Another is also environmentally friendly disinfectant called “Baquacil”. A third alternative is pools disinfected using “Ozone”. Do an Internet search on Google and check all three out. We do not recommend any particular type. You will have to make that decision. I have seen the “Baquacil” System in use with one client, they were happy with the product. Another client uses “Ozone” and they were happy with their disinfectant system also. So, do some investigation on your own and make a choice for your child with Chlorine Allergy.

A friend of mine’s little girl developed a rash from swimming in chloride-containing pool water. They did not know what caused it at first until after multiple times in the swimming pool, a rash would appear. Her symptoms were skin and eye irritation, itchiness, nasal congestion and a rash which looks similar to heat rash. They now use one of the alternative disinfectant systems for their swimming pool. She was told by the Doctor to use a sunscreen to help cope with the allergy. Her mother did not like that idea, so they changed to a “Baquacil” System disinfectant.

In conclusion, if your child has a Chlorine Allergy, you will have to get innovative in finding ways for them to go swimming. It is important that all children learn how to swim. The ocean is a great place if you live nearby. If you live inland, you will have to get some of the alternative systems such as “Baquacil”, “PristineBlue” or use “Ozone”. As always, if you are having an allergic reaction or a medical problem, consult with your Doctor first before doing anything.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for alcohol flush reaction. One can only hope to prevent Asian flush. To do so, there are a few common as well as unorthodox methods. The reason you can’t cure it is because it is not a disease, it is not an allergy, and it’s not a temporary condition. It is something that you are born with and cannot be changed. It stems from the lack of or insufficient amount of the ALDH2 enzyme, responsible for breaking down the toxic chemical acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is a byproduct of the metabolism of alcohol. In a simpler explanation, after you drink alcohol and your body begins to digest it, acetaldehyde (something like ethanol) is created. Usually, the enzyme ALDH2 takes care of it by further breaking it down into vinegar. Lacking this enzyme means that an excess of toxins are created, thus the uncomfortable symptoms associated with alcohol flush reaction such as red and puffy skin, hives, dizziness, and nausea come forth. To cure it, we would have to completely change the way our bodies digest alcohol, so for the time being there are only temporary ways to prevent Asian flush.

The most common way to prevent Asian flush is to take antacids before drinking. Among the various home remedies and trial-and-error methods, this seems to be the most reliable way to prevent Asian flush. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s guaranteed to work. There are many things to consider if choosing this method of prevention. Because this is not a standard way to prevent Asian flush, there is no official research or statistics available on how many and what strength of antacids to take. There is also very little information available on what the long-term effects may be. Some people who report success with antacids may favour one brand or another. Some may take as little as half a normal strength tablet or as much as four extra strength. Much of the success related to antacids is personal trials posted on internet forums – by no means an official cure.

There are several other way to prevent Asian flush, including eating carbohydrates before, taking glucose or fructose supplements, tonics or pills that can be purchased on the internet, splashing water on your face, and the list goes on. Most of these other methods seem to work only for a few individuals, and at a variable frequency of effectiveness.

One product perhaps comes close to actually curing, not just preventing Asian flush. The No Red Face Formula guarantees that their e-book, they can teach you certain techniques to control your alcohol flush reaction, and there are no pills, shots, supplements, or products to re-order. The information is copyrighted so it is difficult to speak about the effectiveness of their product, but they have a money back guarantee and 10,000 or more satisfied customers supporting them.
