Review

Asthma is the complete consumer's guide to the cause of nearly 3 million lost workdays, the leading cause of absenteeism from American schools, and a potentially deadly disease. With its reader-friendly style, Asthma cuts through the medical jargon and answers hundreds of questions including: What are asthma's common and distinctive symptoms?; What conditions are similar to asthma and how do you tell the difference/; How do genetics and stress affect asthma; What are the key asthma triggers and how do you avoid them:; How do exercise, foods and weather influence asthma?; When should a child with asthma go to the emergency room? In Asthma you'll learn about the effectiveness and side effects of both traditional and powerful new drugs; the new approach called "the first line of defense" in asthma-management programs; how doctors decide which treatment path is best, and hundreds of other facts, tips and pointers. Asthma provides the latest information and research on diagnosis and treatment, putting you in control, detailing all the preventive measures and self-care techniques proven to work. This is an essential book for all asthma sufferers and their loved ones. -- Midwest Book Review
