Dear Dominic,
There is a protocol for nutritional supplementation at www.asthmaworld.org .
I do not have personal experience with asthma, but I have friends who do.
The nutritional supplements combined with eating habits from
www.makersdiet.com and http://www.westonaprice.org/index.html seem to help
a very broad range of chronic illnesses.
Having epsom salts on hand to bathe the person experiencing asthma attacks
in is reported to halt the attack , evidently because the skin absorbs the
needed magnesium to allow the muscles to relax and work properly. I have
seen this personally help a child experiencing difficulty breathing and
turning a shade blue on us. The FDA recently updated their daily allowance
for magnesium because so many are ailing from the lower magnesium contents
in our food supply today.
