5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and helpful guide, February 23, 2007
I am a physical therapist who has worked in pulmonary medicine for over 20 years. I found this book to be helpful and informative for asthma sufferers and their families. It is very "user friendly" for the lay person, as well as an appropriate medical guide for the healthcare practitioner. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best resource for asthma information, September 22, 2007
This book has tons of great information about asthma - triggers, diagnosis, medicines, alternative therapies and more. As someone who was recently diagnosed with exercise induced asthma, I've found it extremely helpful and informative. It's a must-read for anyone who has asthma or cares for someone with asthma.

5.0 out of 5 stars A breath of fresh air, May 19, 2007
By Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)      
Asthma is not fun. Part of controlling asthma is avoiding triggers, like dust, dust mites, pollens, molds, and other triggers in the workplace. Perhaps you have "Monday Morning Asthma" and didn't realize it is something in your workplace that is making your asthma worse. This book has loads of information on where to find those asthma triggers, how to control them and what the medications do. There are resources for websites, support groups and medical help. A must-have for anyone with asthma or a family member who suffers.
