Eleven people a day die from asthma attacks in the United States.

You don't have to be one of them.

Susan Millar, a few years ago, was traveling in South America with Stan Grist, an adventurer, explorer, and renowned prospector. In a small Ecuadorian jungle village, high in the Andes, Stan suddenly developed a severe case of bronchial asthma.

He almost died.

In the Ecuadorian Andes, far from medical help, the severe onset of asthma brought Stan's career to a wheezing end. The couple returned to Quito to consult a specialist who prescribed the usual drugs and inhalers designed by the drug cartel for asthma sufferers. In the high, thin air of Quito the drugs didn't work. With Stan's career over, or so it seemed, they moved to Miami, Florida, so Stan could breath and get treatment.

What caused Stan's sudden onset of asthma? No one knows for sure. In the Andes of South America air pollutants, chemicals and dust weren't a likely cause. Nor was animal dander that causes people to be allergic to cats. Neither was exercise since Stan was in excellent physical condition. The most likely cause of Stan's severe asthma attack were mold spores he possibly breathed into his lungs during one of many excursions into caves he explored frequently.

Due to the severity of Stan's asthma he was advised by his doctors to give up his adventurous life. To Stan, and Susan, that was not acceptable. So, Susan, not a doctor or health practitioner, began an extensive research project into various asthma treatments.

She started at the beginning.

What causes asthma?

Asthma is an acute, allergic inflammation of the lungs. An attack can be triggered by several causes. Air pollutants, molds, animal dander, foods, exercise, chemicals and dust. Sometimes even a change in the temperature can cause an attack. Asthma is also frequently caused by emotional or psychosomatic reasons.

These triggers in turn produce allergens which are then absorbed into the blood stream. Once in the blood stream the allergens cause the white blood cells to produce the antibody lgE. These lgE molecules then combine with mast cells lining the blood vessels or with basophils which are a type of white blood cell.
Mast cells and basophils contain histamine and serotonin. The antibody lgE causes the mast cells and basophils to leak the histamine and serotonin into the blood stream causing the symptoms of allergies and asthma which are so well known to asthma sufferers.

After exhaustive research into scores of asthma treatment drugs, delving into alternative health treatments, Susan, like Stan had in Ecuador, struck gold.

She discovered a unique supplement that works to eliminate asthma by addressing the cause of asthma instead of simply treating the symptoms.

Derived from a variety of vegetables and fruit enzymes, the supplements, in the proper amounts and combination, act to support and bolster the mast cells and basophils which strengthen the cell walls thereby preventing them from spilling histamine and serotonin into the bloodstream.

Stan took the supplements and within days his asthma was gone. He hasn't used the dangerous, ineffective drugs prescribed by his doctors since he began the supplements. Needless to say, he resumed his adventurous life in South America.

Stan isn't the only one taking the supplements. Thousands of people, from all walks of life, from young to old, all around the world, take them every day.

A nurse in Sacramento, CA. said, "...I started the asthma treatment that evening and I took 2 loading doses before I went to bed and woke up the next morning with energy...thank you again for the information that practically saved my life...".

In West Chicago, Illinois, a doctor uses the supplements. She reported, "... I would get severe asthma attacks ..they would pump me full of prednisone....I've not had to take even 10 mg of prednisone since starting this...".

And in Arizona a woman reports "... I have been on Flonase, Albuterol, Prednisone and recently Pulmicort and getting worse all the time. Within twenty minutes of taking my first dose (of supplements) my lungs were clear, my nose stopped dripping...".

Obviously, the supplements are nothing to sneeze at.

If the treatment is so effective why doesn't your doctor or the drug companies tell you about it?

We all know the answer, don't we? Money.

The supplements are natural and can't be trademarked, owned, or controlled by the drug companies. In short, if the drug companies released the information, they would lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year in lost sales. Instead, they want you buying their expensive drugs with dangerous side effects they don't tell you about. Except in real fine print.

The supplements are available in local health and food stores for $10 to $25 depending on the brand. Depending on the severity of your asthma you may need one or two bottles a month. Most people only take the supplements when they have an onset of symptoms which reduces the cost monthly cost.

What else can you do to help alleviate asthma?

Drink plenty of water. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day.

Asthmatics need more salt to break up the mucus. Add a pinch of sea salt in every other glass of water you drink.

Take a magnesium supplement. Magnesium relaxes the airway's smooth muscles, dilutes the bronchioles in the lungs, reduces histamine release into the blood stream, and stabilizes the mast cells.

One third of asthma attacks are triggered by drinking wine. One tenth are caused by beer drinking. Five percent are caused by drinking hard liquor.

Why does wine and beer contribute to asthma attacks?
The link between asthma and candida or yeast infection is well documented. Wine is fermented and contains natural yeast. Wine also contains minute traces of pesticides used in growing the grapes. And, one of the ingredients of beer is yeast.

What does that mean to you?

Simple. If you drink stop drinking beer and wine. Instead, drink scotch.

What are the advantages of this alternative supplemental treatment?

You'll save money. The supplements cost a fraction of what you pay for your asthma medicine. And, you buy them in your local health food store without a doctor's prescription instead of at the expensive drug store down the street.

There are no dangerous side affects with the natural supplements like there are with asthma drugs. Studies, testimonials, and anecdotal evidence attests to the effectiveness of this natural supplemental treatment.

Where do you find out more about this life saving treatment? How do you get complete information, read the studies, and discover what exactly to take?

Then, stop wheezing and keep the cat.

Or buy one.

Better yet, adopt.
