Book Description

August 27, 2001
Modeled directly on the bestselling Sinus Survival, here is the most integrative, complete asthma-relief guide available today.

Here's why asthma sufferers can't afford to be without Asthma Survival:

It features a Quick Fix, fast-start program. The Quick Fix allows the reader to begin the most important aspects of the program immediately without having to read the whole book.
It is one of the only books to address the huge overlap of allergies (90 percent of asthmatics have them) and sinusitis (nearly 70 percent of asthmatics have them).
It provides specific, integrated instructions for a dietary supplement plan.
It lays out its New Life Eating Plan as one of the most profound ways to slow the disease.
It gives a balanced, comprehensive approach to herbal choices that are most accepted within the holistic medical community.
It offers a simple, powerful introduction to the most important breathing exercises.
It offers the only book to propose a unified theory of emotional causes of this disease based on worldwide trends and statistics of familial patterns

4.0 out of 5 stars Generally good book, May 27, 2008
This review is from: Asthma Survival: The Holistic Medical Treatment Program for Asthma (Paperback)
This is a good book that looks at the links between food allergy, candida, fungus and asthma, and offers good advice on diet herbs, supplements and alternative therapies. One thing I didn't like as much is that 2 out of 7 chapters are devoted to healing your mind and spirit. Although I am a big believer in the mind body connection and wouldn't mind a few pages on affirmation and positive thinking, it went a little to much into concepts like play and passion, dealing with anger, work and play, optimism, forgiveness, altruism, and emotional causes of asthma. I thought that the emotional causes of asthma part was also too much of the outdated theory of let's blame the parents or the patient for the imbalance. I would rather forgo blame and work on where to go from here. This part of the book took it a little too far out of serious natropathic medicine and into self help book for me. Even so there is enough good information for the person looking for alternative treatments for asthma that it is worth the read. I did prefer "Reversing Asthma" although it is a few years older. But I would recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars super, November 18, 2009
This review is from: Asthma Survival: The Holistic Medical Treatment Program for Asthma (Paperback)
This book is a super source of medically-sound information about treating asthma, including a great section on supplements. And don't let anyone tell you that what you eat can't make a difference!

This review is from: Asthma Survival: The Holistic Medical Treatment Program for Asthma (Paperback)
This is a great comprehensive book. I really like the author's approach. He gives both a short-term solution to some problems and some ideas on how to continually improve your health and vitality throughout your life.
