Effectiveness of The Center’s Treatments for Asthma
A mother is surprised to find her son’s chronic asthma can be successfully managed using an Environmental Medicine approach. This is her story:
My son, Austin, who is 7, suffers from chronic asthma. He saw two Allergists who said he wasn’t allergic to anything. However, we did get a laboratory test, the peptide urine test for gluten and dairy, and found out that Austin was highly reactive to dairy. We tried to avoid dairy, but his asthma was getting worse. He was on a round of Orapred in November 2006 and in January 2007. By the time I brought him to The Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine, he was on adult dose Advair 250/100, 3 to 4 Albuterol Nebulations per day, Zyrtec, and Singular. He wheezed constantly and had to be at the nurse’s station to receive Neb (nebulization) treatments every day.
The doctor at The Center put my son on a comprehensive program of herbs, supplements, and Glutathione Nebulizations. Within 48 hours, my son was wheeze free. He has been able to decrease the program supplements over time. When he was acute, he took two Glutathione Nebs per day, now he only needs one. He needs one Albuterol Neb some days. He is outside constantly during the peak of pollen season in South Carolina and his asthma hasn’t flared at all.
My husband, who has seasonal asthma, went to his primary care doctor last week. His doctor told him he needed to get on a course of Prednisone. Instead, he took the above-mentioned herbs and within 24 hours he had stopped wheezing, coughing, and was breathing great.
