Robb: So sorry to hear about this little guy!
Go to http://www.wt.com.au/~pkolb/buteyko.htm I know of quite a few Asthmatics who stuck with the Buteyko excercises and were able to get off all medications. I suffered from stress induced chronic hyperventilation (deep-breathing) with attacks lasting for days, waking up in the middle of the night gulping for air. I was plagued by severe headaches, chronic fatigue, muscle pain. The Buteyko excercises helped me get my life back. I do have relapses once in a while when things become hectic, but it's easy to get back on track now. A healthy individual should be able to hold the breath comfortably for about 45-60 seconds. If you're time is way below that, you might want to check out the Buteyko method.

She had taken him off all his Steroids about 6 months ago.....and he has been on MSM, CS, and vitamin D since then, and as I said he was doing very well. I suspect that the Halloween candy this past week had alot to do with his attack. I had told her NOT to let him have it but she says, "its not easy just telling one of your kids that they can't have anything like everyone else is"........but now he is in the icu. I really would appreciate any advice anyone can give that may be effective against asthma, or controlling it. Thanks in advance......Robb
