When it comes to asthma treatment, there are many options available. Which one is right in your case depends largely on the severity and type of asthma that you suffer from. It also depends upon what kind of relief you’re looking for. Conventional treatments generally only focus on prevention and control of symptoms, whereas some homeopathic treatments attempt to actually cure the disease.
On the preventative side, conventional medicine does offer some long-term control options. These almost all involve taking some type of medication, usually every single day. It is not a cure, but a treatment, the effects of which would disappear if the sufferer were to stop taking the medication. Most of these options either require taking pills or using an inhaler.
For asthma that is triggered by an allergy, conventional medicine offers the option of treating the allergy. If an allergy that triggers attacks is under control, then the attacks will stop. This can be done with nasal sprays, pills, and shots. If the allergy stops being treated, then attacks will probably start happening again, so this is not a cure either.
The third main way that conventional medicine approaches this disease is to offer quick relief of symptoms. These are the kinds of medicines that are usually taken only while an attack is happening, and they only alleviate symptoms for a short time. This is usually done with an inhaler, but there are pills for some cases. This certainly is not meant to be a cure.
Homeopathic medicine has a more hopeful approach. Homeopathy encompasses a range of alternative treatments from many independent sources. Many of these have not been evaluated by the FDA, but of course this does not mean that they can’t be effective.
There are homeopathic options that are meant to have effects similar to conventional ones, only controlling or preventing symptoms. The more common approach of homeopathy, however, is to attempt treatment of the underlying cause. Correcting the root cause of a disease essentially cures the disease itself.
The use of homeopathic remedies comes with both benefits and risks. Most homeopathic remedies are considered quite safe to use. Another benefit is that they tend to be all-natural. The chance for an actual cure, as opposed to prevention-only, is quite an obvious benefit. The main risk involved centers around the lack of evidential support from scientific and clinical studies as to the effectiveness of homeopathic medicine. This absolutely does not mean that it doesn’t work. It just means that caution should be used, particularly if you intend to stop using conventional asthma treatments altogether while trying a homeopathic method. It is very important that your homeopathic treatment come from a legitimate and reputable source. Also, you may want to at least involve your conventional doctor, especially if your case is severe.
If a chance does exist for asthmatics to be fully cured, then homeopathy probably offers the best hope. Conventional asthma treatment just does not offer anything more than symptom prevention and relief. If you choose to stick to conventional options, then you resign yourself to a lifetime with this disease.
Filmmaker Stephen Kroschel sets out to find hard evidence of the effectiveness of the Gerson Therapy, a long-suppressed natural cancer treatment. His travels take him across both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, from upstate New York to San Diego to Alaska, from Japan to Holland and Mexico. In the end, he presents the testimony of patients, scientists, surgeons and nutritionists, who testify to the effectiveness of the Gerson Therapy and shows the hard scientific evidence to back up their claims. The question that remains is, “Why is this powerful curative therapy still suppressed, more than 75 years after it was clearly proven to cure degenerative disease?” “A spectacular combination of poetry, science and cinematographic art… very moving.” – Pedro Aponte-Vazquez, Author, Chronicle of a Coverup “If this documentary is not immediately suppressed, millions of chronically-ill people will get well.” – Andrew Saul, Asst. Editor, Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine “It’s just exquisite! Deft to the point of sublime. A major step forward.” – John Robbins, Author, Diet for a New America, Reclaiming Our Health

www.encognitive.com Vitamin D importance in the prevention of cancers, type 1 diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis. The purpose of this review is to put into perspective the many health benefits of vitamin D and the role of vitamin D deficiency in increasing the risk of many common and serious diseases, including some common cancers, type 1 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis. Numerous epidemiologic studies suggest that exposure to sunlight, which enhances the production of vitamin D3 in the skin, is important in preventing many chronic diseases. Because very few foods naturally contain vitamin D, sunlight supplies most of our vitamin D requirement. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is the metabolite that should be measured in the blood to determine vitamin D status. Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in infants who are solely breastfed and who do not receive vitamin D supplementation and in adults of all ages who have increased skin pigmentation or who always wear sun protection or limit their outdoor activities. Vitamin D deficiency is often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia. A new dietary source of vitamin D is orange juice fortified with vitamin D. Studies in both human and animal models add strength to the hypothesis that the unrecognized epidemic of vitamin D deficiency worldwide is a contributing factor of many chronic debilitating diseases. Greater awareness of the insidious consequences of vitamin D deficiency is needed. Annual measurement of serum 25 …
