Asthma - My Personal Journey in Finding a Drug-free Treatment
I suffered with asthma and severe allergies for more than 40 years and like you, and many others, grew to hate the side effects and resulting damage to my body from using expensive antihistamines and asthma drugs that never really worked. My main asthma trigger has always been cat dander, and exposure to it resulted in a life-threatening asthma attack with a visit to the emergency. Fortunately for me, I usually could take measures to avoid my main asthma trigger, but other asthma sufferers with multi-environmental triggers are not so lucky. My summer allergies were always a problem because pollen is everywhere and unavoidable. Allergy drugs made me drowsy, dehydrated, and constipated, plus really didn't help much to relieve my allergy symptoms. As a result, I was continually searching for a safe, effective alternative, but I had little success in finding anything that genuinely eliminated asthma and allergy symptoms safely without side effects- that is until my friend was faced with severe life-threatening asthma.
More than six years ago I was in South America researching and documenting several projects with Stan Grist, an explorer and prospector. He suddenly developed severe life-threatening bronchial asthma while we were in a small, remote village in the Amazon jungle in Ecuador.
He was so ill, he could barely walk and was mostly bedridden. We went to a local doctor who told us that it was asthma and advised us to return to a major city for treatment. In Quito, we were able to find a respected lung specialist trained in the U.S. He confirmed the diagnosis. He prescribed several expensive drugs: Prednisone, antibiotics, along with two different inhalers. The drugs only slightly improved his condition, but also proved to have undesirable side effects. Stan was experiencing a rapid heart rate, headache, sore throat and stomach upset. He was feeling irritable and tense. Even though he was exhausted, he could not sleep because of the effect of the prescription drugs. He was also still bedridden and unable to work or enjoy any activities. This same man, several months earlier, had climbed to the top of a 14,000 foot mountain, could now barely walk or breathe.
His asthma symptoms started to get much worse, so he went back to the doctor for different asthma medication, which eventually proved to be equally ineffective. This suffering continued for several more months. Stan was becoming depressed and very worried. He began to believe the active life he had once enjoyed was now over. Since he is an explorer and prospector, this also meant the end of his livelihood. It was a desperate situation and he decided to leave Ecuador to get treatment in Miami.
When he arrived in Miami and went directly to an emergency room. They confirmed that the medication that Stan was presently taking were those commonly prescribed for asthma. They said they could prescribe others with similar ingredients, but the effects and results would ultimately be the same. There was really nothing new that they could do to help him.
At this point, Stan seemed to have run out of answers, but believing there must be something that could help him, I started to research the latest medical information and clinical studies on alternative medicine, nutrition, vitamins, and supplements. As the result of my research of natural supplements known to be effective in treating asthma and allergy symptoms, there was one bioflavinoid supplement that I came across that I had never heard of or tried before. This supplement turned out to be the single, most important one. With further research, I learned very specific information as to strength, dosage and what it must be combined with for maximum benefit or absorption. When taken alone, or in the wrong combination & strength, it is simply doesn't work.
The research indicated that when taken in a particular strength and combination, it would clear asthma sufferers' lungs within a few hours. I was hopeful, but not really expecting to see such dramatic relief. I had used various supplements for my asthma and allergies for many years and knew that they often worked slowly, if at all, so I was pretty skeptical about it working as quickly as the study indicated. Within a few hours it cleared his lungs and Stan was breathing easily for the first time in months. He was able to stop taking all asthma drug medication within two weeks.
Since our discovery of this asthma treatment, Stan has been completely free from asthma for over 6 years. He is able to forget that he ever suffered from it. Better still, he is finally free from dangerous prescription drug side effects. Now he rarely has any asthma symptoms at all. This is because the asthma treatment supplements have healing properties that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antihistamines lack by repairing tissues, fibers, and membranes, they strengthen the entire respiratory system by regenerating tissues.
As I mentioned earlier, my main asthma trigger has always been cat dander, and exposure to it resulted in a life-threatening asthma attack with a visit to the emergency, now if I am exposed to cat dander, I simply take the supplements and Im absolutely fine. It works great for my allergies too.
Stan was able to resume his active life and continue to explore remote jungle regions In Ecuador. Thanks to this research, we are both able to forget that we ever suffered from asthma or allergies. Better still, we are finally free from dangerous prescription drug side effects.
