AsthmaCare is made for adults (18 years or older) and is too strong for children. It is made strong intentionally so that people can take fewer capsules per day. The typical dose is one capsule two to three times a day.

With AsthmaCare most people will no longer need an inhaler, steroids, or any other medication. The general rule is that once people start feeling better on AsthmaCare, they often start trying to wean off the medicines they're taking. People often try weaning off their prescription medicines at the rate of about 25% of their daily dose every 2 days, or so. However, we recommend that patients wean off their prescription medicines only under the supervision of their physicians. Asthma is a potentially serious condition and can cause severe complications such as anaphylactic shock.

In addition, some people (but not all) will be able to wean off the AsthmaCare and not need to take it anymore either. A lot of people should be able to wean off in about six months, but it depends. If they've had asthma for 15 years it can take longer.

People who have weaned off after six months might just need to keep it on hand at their house and use it periodically as needed. For example, they can use it when they go to visit someone that has a lot of dogs. Or, if they have asthma just one season a year like spring they can take just a maintenance dose during that time of year.

The herbs in AsthmaCare are actually good for people to take even if they don't have asthma. It may improve the lung capacity, for example. Some doctors used to give injections of high doses of one of the herbs in AsthmaCare for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Fast-acting

AsthmaCare is a pretty fast-acting product. Patients will usually notice something within 15 minutes of taking it. Nevertheless, AsthmaCare is aimed at asthma, not the symptoms of asthma. Therefore, we recommend that AsthmaCare be taken daily for a period of time whether there are active symptoms present or not. We suggest that people who want to try it ought to decide to try it daily for a month or two, not a day or two.

Side Effects and Management

High doses of AsthmaCare can make people nauseous. In fact, historically people have used some of the herbs in AsthmaCare to help people vomit after eating something poisonous.

One capsule three times a day will usually not cause nausea in a typical adult. About 10% of adults taking that dose on an empty stomach will get queazy from it. Almost always that queaziness will go away if they take the AsthmaCare with food. Therefore we recommend that AsthmaCare always be taken with food and under the guidance of a physician. If patients still have some queaziness even taking it with food, then they can reduce the dose to one capsule two times a day with food (which is often enough for some patients to be able to no longer need asthma medications).

On the other hand, if people take four capsules per day it's quite likely that they'll feel nauseous and may vomit. Therefore, we do not recommend that people take more than 3 - 4 capsules of AsthmaCare per day except under the supervision of their physicians.

The following links will take you to flowcharts that will help you see how different problems of different severity are usually managed.

Severe Asthma - for example, need an inhaler once a day, asthma for five years or more, and asthma is a constant problem.

Regular Asthma

Mild Asthma - for example, symptoms only once a week, once a month, or only during exercise.

Asthma Attack - Only to be treated with the cooperation and supervision of a doctor.

Bronchitis or Stopping Smoking - Upper respiratory congestion. Phlegm deep in throat.

Combines Well With Healthy Foundation

It appears that trouble with the digestive tract can contribute to asthma, hives, and allergies in general. When people have bad asthma and allergies in general, they can often get to the point of not needing any drugs or herbs if they can get to the root cause.

A large amount of the body's lymphoid (infection fighting) tissue is in the digestive tract. This tissue is known as Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT). Since the digestive tract takes in substances from the outside world, it is important for the body to have a strong defensive presence there. We believe that people with malfunctioning digestive tracts can develop a lot of allergies, and hypersensitivities. That's because patients often don't need allergy shots after taking herbs for their digestive tracts.

Since asthma is of an allergic nature, we like to think of Asthmacare as the primary treatment and Healthy Foundation as the secondary treatment. Healthy Foundation is geared toward the digestive tract and also has a lot of compounds called bioflavinoids which are important for allergies and hives. Healthy Foundation is also aimed at the liver, which is important because the liver actually breaks down a lot antigen conglomerates.

Healthy Foundation can be thought of as a general tune up for the body. We believe a lot of people who take Healthy Foundation and AsthmaCare together for a few months would have a good chance of actually being cured. Not everybody, but a lot of people. Another thing that a person can take as another supportive measure would be Quercitin drink (not available yet but available soon), the Quercitin quenches the mast cells so it actually helps with the mast cells and histamine. It also has some vitamin C and bioflavonoids which also work with helping allergies and asthma.

Maximum Cure with Healthy Foundation and Quercitin

For people that really want to try to cure their asthma and want to do everything they can, we would recommend

• AsthmaCare - two to three times a day
• Healthy Foundation - half a teaspoon two times a day
• Quercitin Drink - one teaspoon/ glass once or twice a day

We'd be surprised if after three or four months of this protocol people still had very significant asthma.

General Description

AsthmaCare combines herbs commonly used in the western world for asthma, with Ginger which is prized in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for its versatility and enhancement of other. Lobelia (Lobelia inflata) is one of the first herbs to consider in asthma due to its antispasmodic, expectorant and respiratory stimulant properties and long history of safe and successful use (Chevallier). It is well complemented by the smooth muscle relaxant Grindelia (Grindelia robusta). Grindelia is useful in treatment of constriction of the bronchial tree, especially when nervous irritation is involved, and it boosts the expectorant powers of the combination (Hoffman). Ginger(Zingiber officinale) is included in recognition of the role digestion and food allergies often play in the etiology of asthma. It is used frequently in Ayurvedic medicine, both as a digestive stimulant and detoxifying agent, and throughout the orient for its warming and soothing qualities. This combination can be of help in lessening the duration, frequency and intensity of attacks, and is an invaluable part of any comprehensive plan to bring about cure.
