Asthma is the body's response to irritation, which can be produced by environmental toxins and natural free radicals. Bad bowel bacteria (dysbiosis) may contribute the biggest toxin load 24 hours a day. It is maintaind by a high sugar and starch diet. Toxins and free radicals are irritants, so they predictably produce inflammation and mucous, both of which restrict airways. A fair bit of research links low antioxidant pool, notably low glutathione, to high oxidative stress (free radical damage). The lungs are about the third biggest users of the body's glutathione pool and they are sensitive so you often see a reaction there. Some research also links low production of nitric oxide in the lungs to asthma. Nitric oxide is not only an antioxidant but also a vein wall tone relaxer; levating it allows easier breathing. I've had good results with asthma and even COPD by using an antioxidant program, vitamins C, E, A, selenium, and cld-processed whey, which produces the glutathione in the lung cells. Glutathione is also used to detoxify the whole body, and it's the liver's main support in doing so. I also recommended a b-vitamin complex to harden up all the cells, and a few other things might be helpful, such as cod-liver oil (one has to wonder how much free radical damage has already occurrd to the polyunsaturated oils in the cell walls of lungs, and if they can be repaired). Nitric oxide is increased with the amino acid arginine, which is present in the cold-processed whey, and it's also increased with Noni. Powdered Noni is several times as potent as Noni Juice. Tahitian Noni (TM) is perhaps the lowest potency Noni Juice product on the market. Lastly, if these don't work, and normally they do, Glyconutrients are usful for reducing an allergic response. They work by allowing the immune response to be controlled a little closer. Duncan -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
