Dr. Brody’s Natural Approach to Asthma
Asthma is a very common concern for children and adults alike. Asthma is when you can not catch your breath. This is usually due to some form of irritant that causes inflammation within your lungs. This irritant can be caused by dust, mold, perfumes, pet dander, pollen, chemicals, and/or foods. People who are sensitive to the above allergens usually experience; difficulty breathing, wheezing, mouth breathing, rapid breathing, chest tightness, and coughing.
There is another very common symptom that most people don’t relate to asthma and has to do with your skin–eczema. These small bumps are the results of your body trying to remove the irritant via the biggest organ of the body–the skin. I have found with a combination of diet and a few natural substances asthma can be cured.
I have helped numerous people deal with their asthma. Most of my patients still have their rescue inhalers but no longer use them multiple times daily. I do this with a natural holistic approach. One of the new areas in asthma research shows that this disease stems from the digestive tract. In a recent study (2017) it was shown that an elevated amount of a yeast (Pichia spp.) in children is likely, the matchstick that starts the forest fire called asthma. If the digestive tract is cleared up and this yeast removed, then a reduction in asthma symptoms can occur.
Prevention and Treatment
- Let your children be kids. Let them go outside (supervised), get dirty and play. This is an important aspect of childhood as it primes their immune system to understand what bacteria are bad and which ones are good. When there is a balance of good bacteria they will suffer less inflammation and thus have reduced symptoms.
- Diet. Follow a Blood Type or SWAMI Diet. These diets can help reduce inflammation by avoiding certain chemicals and lectins, along with getting proper nutrition.
- Fish Oil. It’s full of beneficial chemicals which help reduce asthma symptoms. Make sure you are taking the right dose and it’s a pure natural brand.
- Molybdenum is a trace mineral that is key to controlling inflammation in the lungs
Do not start an Exercise, Diet, or Natural Medicine before talking to your doctor first.
