ASTHMA

After going through your mail, I felt that most of your symptoms (not all) are some way or the other are related to your asthmatic condition like interrupted sleep, burning of eyes, depression, anxiety, headache etc. Dear Pamela before telling you about the treatment I would like to educate your about the disease you are suffering from:

Do you know that Asthma is an ancient Greek word meaning 'panting or shortdrawn breath'. It is an allergic condition resulting from the reaction of the body to one or more allergens, AND IT IS THE MOST TROUBLESOME OF ALL THE RESPIRATORY DISEASES. An asthma patient gets frequent attacks of breathlessness, in between which he may even be completely normal.

Patients suffering from asthma appear to be gasping for breath. Actually, they have more difficulty in breathing out than breathing in (and dear you must have felt it sometimes by yourself), and this is caused by spasms or sudden involuntary muscular contractions of the smaller air passages in the lungs.

Asthma is caused by a variety of factors. It may be due to an allergy caused by weather conditions, food, drugs, perfumes, and other irritants. Allergies to dust are the most common.

Dear Pamela, I am your well wisher from the depth of my heart and I have a good assessment about your condition. I really want to cure you and I am dead sure that I can do that. After my thorough reserach which I did for 6 hours, I came to the conclusion that the best treatment whcih suits to your condition is Herbal. Dear, I have drafted a detailed mail for you which contains a comprehensive list of home remedies which if you follow will certainly prove beneficial for you. I want to provide you with that list and for that you have to hire me (AS PER KASAMBA RULES). Let us begin for your cure together and kick off your disease. Waiting for your reply.

With Regards,
Dr. Rupinderjeet Kaur

An infusion of five grams of flowers mixed with one tablespoon of honey, taken once daily, is also useful in this disease.
Diet for Asthma
carbohydrates, fats and proteins
The patient should avoid common dietetic errors. Ideally, his diet should contain a limited quantity of carbohydrates, fats and proteins which are 'acid-forming' foods, and a liberal quantity of alkali-forming foods consisting of fresh fruits, green vegetables, sprouted seeds, and grains. The patient should avoid foods which tend to produce phlegm, such as rice, sugar, lentils, and curds. He should also avoid fried and other difficult to-digest foods, strong tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages, condiments pickles, sauces and all refined and processed foods.
Other Suggestions for Asthma
Fasting and exercises
The patient should also follow the other laws of nature. Air, sun, and water are great healing agents. Regular fasting once a week, an occasional enema, breathing exercises, fresh air, a dry climate, light exercises, and correct posture go a long way in treating the disease.
