Product Description

The leading asthma specialist's proven four-week program that can help your kids--and you--breathe easier

If you're frustrated by ineffective doctor's visits and medications, in treating your child's asthma, you can turn to this groundbreaking asthma-relief program. This book shows how in just four weeks, you can work with your doctor to ensure proper treatment, minimize attacks, reduce emergency room visits, and effect a turn-around in your child's asthma.

From the Back Cover

Minimize your child's asthma symptoms, avoid unexpected attacks, and say good-bye to emergency room visits!

You take your child to the doctor, follow a treatment plan to the letter, and administer the prescribed drugs, yet the coughing and wheezing persist. And then there are those frightening emergency room visits. The daily anxiety of asthma has taken both an emotional and a physical toll on your child and has left you helpless to give him or her long-lasting relief.

It doesn't have to be this way, according to Dr. Gary Rachelefsky, a leading asthma specialist who has treated thousands of children over the past 30 years. In Free Your Child from Asthma, you'll find out why so many children with asthma aren't getting the care they need and how, in just four weeks, you can help put your child on the fast track to a symptom-free life.

Get the knowledge and skills you need to:

• Recognize the early warning signs of an attack
• Identify asthma triggers and what to do about them
• Make sense of medications and their side effects
• Work with your child's doctor to get the right care and treatment
• Steadily reduce the amount of medication needed

5.0 out of 5 stars Best childhood asthma book out there., January 26, 2006

By	B. Drew "B. Drew" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

Excellent and perhaps the best resource out there for any parent with a child that suffers from asthma. Dr. Rachelfsky very clearly outlines everything that you may want to know, and even takes away a lot of the mystery from the myriad treatments for asthma.

Written in plain language, the book leaves you with plenty of detail but never leaves you confused.

After reading through the book, you will better understand what asthma is, how it's treated, and more importantly make you able to work WITH your doctor and ask better questions.

You'll also be able to decide if your doctor is providing the best care available.

Overall, this is a must-have book if your child has asthma... and after reading it, you'll belive that you can control asthma and asthma doesn't need to control you!
