Asthma Symptoms & Treatment
Asmtha tends to run in families and affects 10% of children and 5% of adults. It usually begins before the age of 5 years, cannot be cured, but can be controlled. Improved Bronchodilator technology and treatments, especially since the early 1990’s has resulted superior treatment outcomes. Those affected live normal lives, and enjoy sport.
Common triggers are dust mites, grass, pet hair and dust.
Inhalation of air pollutants, eg. Motor- vehicle fumes, cigarette smoke, aerosols, and fire-smoke (from anthracite or coal) in cities may trigger asthma in susceptible individuals. Asthma affects the air passageways or bronchi, in the lungs. The bronchi become swollen, with increased mucus lying in the airways. Muscles then go into spasm as a direct result of the inflammation.
If you suffer from asthma or allergic rhinitis (or sinusitis), or have a cold -you are prone to bronchitis, due to the inflammation caused by allergic reactions or infection, in the nasal cavity.
Genetically low plasma vitamin D levels are associated with higher mortality from respiratory infections, and three variants of the vitamin D receptor are associated with a higher risk of respiratory tract infections in both adults and children.
Supplementing with Vitamin D daily will halt the progression of the illness and activate healing.
