Hi Jean, I hear you, and I know there are people who have apparently been really helped by devices like these. But I honestly do not know what the cause is for my little girl's asthma problem at this time. For the past few months she has taken albuterol only infrequently, but in the past couple months, maybe once a week. For some reason, the past day and a half, something is making it to where we are having to give it to her every four hours because she is short of breath, wheezing and mucousy. I do not yet know much about steroids or how badly they can affect the immune system or not. The choice I'm faced with right now is whether I want her to be able to breathe or whether she "might" get some immune system damage in the future. My hope is that some combination of nebulizer and CS will help her, but I do not yet have money for nebulizer or CS or MSM. I spent around $130 or so for 3 of these air ionizers because I thought it might help my little girl's coughing problem several months back. She had constant mucous from post nasal drip and we never did figure out what was causing that. I just bought these air purifiers in hopes that it might help, and it apparently did. She stopped coughing all the time. But now she seems to have asthma. Is that from something else in the air, or the ozone generation? I really do not know! I keep throwing money at her health problems, but I do not know the source of them. And everytime a possible health-positive cure is mentioned, it's costing me $50 here, $100 there, $200 over there, but in the end, it still is very hard to figure out because she's only 2 and 1/2 and cannot tell me really what is wrong. So I have to guessimate. All her pediatrician wanted to do is put her on albuterol. I'm not going to put her on albuterol, but I can't afford another kind of practitioner right now, since I'm barely making it from check to check. Hopefully that will change soon, but not right now.
Sophia was doing relatively well until this past month. I'm not sure why she is getting so many more attacks this past month or so. Maybe in the middle of the month I'll have some money to get a nebulizer. -Ken ======================== Hi Ken, My sister has a Pug who was overdosed on steroids (not the vet's fault), and has ruined his immune system. He now has aspergillis in his lungs and after 5 shots of an antibiotic of the last resort, was no better. I offered to let her use my Multi Tech XJ-3000C, air purification system (ionizer, ozone, hepa filter, UV light, activated carbon). One night and he was MUCH better according to my sister. We will see.
