			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Some analysts who have studied asthma and its symptoms have determined that marine phytoplankton may be sufficient enough to decrease asthma symptoms in children. Phytoplankton could be the next natural cure for asthma.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Adding this to food or drinks with a certain dosage daily can help to decrease asthma symptoms particularly with kids. It is shown in certain studies that marine phytoplankton cures certain pains in the body, and may also cure asthma in the certain patients.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Marine phytoplankton is considered the basis of life on earth, without it, nothing would be able to survive. It was considered the first food source on the planet, and has many uses for modern time. According to NASA, it is responsible for producing up to 90% of the oxygen in which we breathe.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It may also be responsible to cleanse the air passageways when consumed. Teaspoon consumption may be all you need to decrease asthma. This may be the first natural cure for asthma that may actually work. Scientists have had difficulty to manage and reproduce it to have as a natural cure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A natural cure for asthma may have just come into human supply. Now, the marine phytoplankton can be distributed throughout the world, and is responsible for curing most of the users. Scientists say this was a remarkable study, and this may just be the first ever working natural cure for asthmatic persons.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, it is relatively difficult to extract, thus it is still not very common on the market. However, as people realize the potential as a natural cure for asthma, it will become more widely accepted and the prices should fall accordingly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Asthma is a lung disease that causes obstruction of the airways. During an asthma attack spasms in the muscles surrounding the bronchi (small airways in the lungs) constrict, impeding the outward passage of stale air. Asthma provoking allergens include animal dander, chemicals, drugs, dust mites, environmental pollutants, fumes, mold and tobacco smoke. The bronchial tubes then swell and become plugged with mucus in order to isolate the offending allergen or toxins. The swelling of the bronchial tubes further irritates the airways resulting in even greater sensitivity. Symptoms:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Symptoms include difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, feeling tightness in the chest.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Recommendations:</strong></em><br />
* Correcting nutritional deficiencies may significantly affect people with asthma. People with asthma may be nutrient deficient in Vitamin B6- supplementation led to significant improvement in children suffering from bronchial asthma. Allergy, 35(2), August 1975, p. 93-97, Vitamin C- Asthma symptoms in adults have been shown to decrease following vitamin C supplementation. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 61(17), April 23, 1983, p. 649-652, magnesium, manganese, selenium, and the enzyme glutathione peroxidase. We suggest a high quality whole food supplement, like VITAFORCE that is complete and made from whole foods. Make sure you know what you are getting from the nutritional label.<br />
* Flax seed oil (essential fatty acids needed for production of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins – hormone-like chemicals that are important in regulating the inflammatory response),<br />
* Eat a diet of foods that heal, primarily consisting of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, oatmeal, brown rice and whole grains, include garlic and onions (these contain quercetin and mustard oils which have been shown to inhibit an enzyme that aids in releasing inflammatory chemicals).<br />
* Drink 8 glasses of distilled water, not at meals, but throughout the day. This helps eliminate toxins and decreases the amount of mucous in the body.<br />
* Drink organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar 2-4 times a day. This helps cut down on mucous.<br />
* Keep your home clean using all natural cleaning products. Vacuum regularly and use a wet cloth to remove dust. Look into high quality air filters.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Things to Avoid:</em></strong><br />
* All dairy products (milk, cheese, butter, ice cream, etc&#8230;) as they are a major contributor of toxins and the formation of mucus in the body.<br />
* All meat (fish, turkey, and chicken too). Major contributors to asthma.<br />
* All processed and junk foods; loaded food additives and preservatives like sodium bisulfite, potassium metabisulfite, and sulfur dioxide which have caused severe attacks in asthmatics.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Anybody with asthma will tell you how difficult it can be dealing with asthma, and adjusting to different ways of living because of the way asthma affects your lifestyle.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Me personally when I was younger I had very hard times dealing with it, mainly because my basement was filled with dust, and almost everything outside triggered my asthma and tightening up my airways.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So some of the things and playing activities the kids outside were doing, I couldn&#8217;t participate in because of my asthma. So I started searching for ways on how to cure asthma.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No, there hasn&#8217;t been a proven cure to asthma, but there are natural herbs and remedies to help control your asthma and put it in check. I have managed to put together some great ways on how to cure asthma and get rid of the things that&#8217;s stopping you from living a normal life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So I listed the 3 best and most powerful methods on how to cure asthma below:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Apple Cider Vinegar</em></strong><br />
Apple Cider Vinegar breaks down fattening food, this is by far the most celebrated remedy for asthma out of the 3. Take two bottle caps twice a day, either in sweet apple juice or just cut with water and honey.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s so effective that some people have claimed to stop using their Flixotide steroid treatment. Also if you take 2 tbsps of Apple Cider Vinegar it will cure the tightness in your chest too.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Vitamin B12</em></strong><br />
This has also helped a many people relieve their asthma, and allowed them to do things they wouldn&#8217;t have normally been able to do. Take Vitamin B12 with Magnesium and a liver cleansing supplement, and stop eating diary.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And within 2 weeks, your symptoms should decrease and in some people cases completely vanish. Now this won&#8217;t work for everyone because everybody immune system is different, but in most cases for people it worked excellently and is definitely worth a try.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is highly recommended for anyone who wants to know how to cure asthma.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Quercetin</strong></em><br />
Quercetin works as an antihistamine and has anti-inflammatory properties. Quercetin are found in onions, apples, green tea, and black tea. Smaller amounts are found in leafy green vegetables and beans.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you take very high doses of Quercetin (its impossible to take to much, its non toxic and safe) you will start to see improvement in your asthma. After a few weeks, you can start using a lower dose and can be taken with no side effects or worries, and another very popular way on how to cure asthma</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now as stated above everybody immune system is different, and one thing will work, and another won&#8217;t work. But the 3 things I provided above are most widely known way on how to cure asthma or manage it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some people have said that it completely cured their asthma, while others say it have improved their asthma drastically. But if you&#8217;re looking for the best ways on how to cure asthma, you start with what I provided above.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Hospitalizations and deaths due to asthma are increasing at an alarming rate, and medical doctor&#8217;s don&#8217;t seem to know why. This is happening in spite of the fact that there are newer and &#8220;better&#8221; prescription drugs for the treatment of asthma.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Because asthma can be such a serious condition, someone should always work closely with a physician even when using natural treatments, and learn as much as possible.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Vitamin C </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Increasing evidence suggests that vitamin C in particular, and antioxidants in general, can be quite beneficial for lung function.  One of the more fascinating vitamin C discoveries evolved out of a review of the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Researchers analyzed more than nine thousand adults and concluded that an &#8220;above average intake of vitamin C (200 mg more than the 98-mg average) was associated with about a 30% lower incidence of bronchitis and wheezing.&#8221; Greater serum niacin levels were also associated with a reduction in wheezing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A newer survey published in the American Journal of Epidemiology of more than three thousand people living in rural China produced complementary results. According to lead author Dr. Patricia Cassano of Cornell University, &#8220;We found that the higher the intake of vitamin C, the better the lung function.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A randomized, double-blind crossover study of 20 people with exercise-induced asthma (ages 7 to 28) also produced intriguing results. An hour before vigorous exercise on a treadmill, the subjects were given either 2,000 mg of vitamin C or a placebo. 9 out of 20 experienced significant benefit from the vitamin C.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Obviously, vitamin C is no substitute for asthma medicine, but the data suggest that it may improve lung function for some people. As in the case of allergy, the ideal dose remains uncertain.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A small study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition noted that 50 mg of vitamin B6 also produced a &#8220;dramatic decrease in the frequency and severity of the wheezing attacks.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Most home remedies are completely inappropriate for the treatment of asthma. But caffeine does have a role. It is a chemical cousin of the classic asthma medicine theophylline.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Caffeine is far less effective treatment for asthma than is conventional medicine. But in a pinch it can relieve a mild to moderate attack of broncho-constriction. This approach has been written up in numerous medical journals, including the Journal of the American Medical Association and the New England Journal of Medicine.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Herbs: Ephedra</em></strong><br />
Most herbal reference books list ephedra as a primary treatment for asthma. This medicinal plant has been used for thousands of years to dilate constricted airways. A chemical derivative, ephedrine, is still found in over-the-counter and prescription asthma medicine.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, the benefits of the compound wear off quickly, especially if it is used frequently. For another, there are too many potential side effects. IT can cause nervousness, insomnia, heart palpitations, stomach pain, and difficulty urinating. Anyone with prostate problems, heart trouble, or high blood pressure should steer clear of this herb.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The FDA says that since 1994 it &#8220;has received more than 800 reports of adverse events associated with ephedrine alkaloid-containing products, ranging to heart attacks and death.&#8221; There has been great concern over the marketing of ma huang in the over-the0counter diet pills, especially those that are promoted as &#8220;herbal fen-phen.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Ginkgo</em></strong><br />
Most of the excitement about ginkgo surrounds its potential benefit for the brain. There is also a long tradition of using ginkgo for breathing problems including asthma and bronchitis.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The antioxidant properties of this herb make it attractive for the same reasons that vitamin C seems appropriate. The dose ranges from 120 to 240 mg a day. Ginkgo should never substitute for standard doctor-supervised drug therapy of asthma.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Stinging Nettle</em></strong><br />
We have become fascinated with this herb for its wide variety of uses. In addition to relieving mild to moderate prostate problems, it appears valuable in treating allergies, arthritis, and possibly asthma. It&#8217;s suspected it is the anti-inflammatory action of the herb that makes it so helpful.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There may even be some antihistaminic activity. The tea may be the most effective way to consume the herb. Dr. Varro E. Tyler recommends 3 to 4 teaspoonfuls of dried leaves (about 4 grams) in 150 ml of boiling water for treating prostate enlargement.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A similar dose may be appropriate for asthma. The amount if stinging nettle employed in Germany in one stuffy of arthritis was 1,340 mg of Urtica dioica. Again, no single herbal treatment should substitute appropriate medical treatment of asthma.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Natural asthma treatment versus conventional medical science:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The medicines for asthma often involves the use of an inhaler and/or a nebulizer, which can bring instant relief of asthma symptoms. What if the medicine causes unwanted side effects? Those who are allergic to asthma medicines find themselves in a bad predicament.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are a number of reportedly effective natural asthma remedies. Of course, since the FDA does not endorse these, it may take more time to be accepted by the general public. The point is, that you do have choices if you are willing to try them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As a overall statement, Mother Nature has provided a cure for every disease known to mankind. Sometimes, humans underestimate the force of mother nature and proportionately overestimate their capacity to intervene. It is true that modern science has achieved the capacity for miraculous results. However, it is still far behind the breathtaking power of nature. Here are some of the more recognized natural asthma remedies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the most popular natural remedies is homeopathy. This can be given over many years without any fear of having any harmful reactions. There are also a number of herbs that can be used as an alternative asthma treatment. However, their ability will be proportionate to the capability of the herbalist who specializes in herbal medicines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hypnosis and acupuncture are also viable natural treatments. Though they cannot be labelled strictly as natural asthma remedies, they can provide natural long-term relief to both children and adults. The only thing that one must consider in this case of trying out a hypnotherapy session is the certification of the hypnotist. You will find hypnosis listed under natural cure for asthma and many find it a good alternative. The success of this method of treatment depends upon the therapist and the patient’s state of mind.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some find acupuncture a very effective method to treat asthma. This medical care involves stimulating of internal chemical reaction with the application of needles at particular nerve points. There is acupuncture, which involves needles to stimulate chemical reactions within the body to correct the existing imbalances. Many people reported that acupuncture is extremely helpful. One should be very careful however regarding the sterilization of the needles. A possible option is to to carry your own set with you, which can be thrown away after each session. For those who are squeamish about the use of needles, one can choose the use of acupressure, which acts on the same concept; however, instead of needles (puncturing of the skin) it uses pressure. This form of treatment is considered much safer than acupuncture.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another supposedly effective alternative remedy for asthma is yoga. Yoga is an ancient science originating from India, whereby one does some particular exercises (the positions of which are called asanas) by which the problems inside the body and mind can be cured. Some people find it highly effective, while the strange body positions that the yoga involves horrify some people. It depends upon you if you would like to choose this type of any other natural cure for asthma.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How do you choose the right alternative asthma treatment for you? Before making up your mind, it would be good if you do your own research and judge for yourself. The best method to find out what could be the best choice for you is by asking friends and relatives. Another good manner of gathering accurate information is the utilization of the internet. Do some research and find out the merits and demerits of all the alternative remedies for asthma that you are interested in.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One vital thing is to ensure is that none of the methods of treatment have any adverse effects that could act detrimentally against your asthma instead of alleviating symptoms. It would be better if you consult a doctor before you embark on any ‘unconventional course of action’ with the proposed natural asthma remedy. Most family doctors have a good and up-to-date knowledge of the best available options.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">There are various effective medications that are available for the treatment of asthma, but considering their side effects many people refrain from taking them. For such people, asthma natural cure is another alternative treatment method.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These asthma natural cure remedies have no side effects and are non-toxic. The basic aim of these natural medications is to strengthen the immune system of an individual thereby giving him strength to fight his diseases. Furthermore, these are also not very expensive when compared with other medications. But before taking any asthma natural cure remedies or treatment, it is important to consult a doctor to ensure that these will not create any further complication if taken with your existing medicines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also, no matter which medicines you are taking, it is essential to carry an emergency inhaler along with you for any serious asthma attack.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some of the asthma natural cures are:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Magnesium supplements – they helps muscles to relax and avert their tightening near air passageways.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Products made from fish oil – these act as anti-inflammatory. They are available in both capsule and liquid form. These are not advisable if you have any food allergies as it may cause harmful reactions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rosemary, thyme, spearmint, cloves and chamomile have many antioxidants. These help to induce sleep and muscles to relax.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Antioxidants are also very effective. They include selenium, supplements of green tea, Vitamin E and various other products that were made to reduce the liberated radicals existing in the human body. Liberated radicals are mainly because of cough, cold and other such respiratory problems that adds to the irritation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Licorice and ginseng are the herbs that are also very effective.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All these asthma natural cure remedies when taken for a long period of time along with the precautions such as avoiding smoke, high-sugar and high-fat food items from your diet would together be really helpful for the treatment of asthma.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Allergy, or type I hypersensitivity, is the systemic inflammatory response of the body toward allergens or allergy causing agents. People with allergy are usually hypersensitive toward certain things which are considered normal by other people. Some of these things include dust, pollen, certain foods, and even mosquito bites. The patients may offer suffer from small problems like running nose, itchy nose, rash, and other things. However, sometimes allergy could be really dangerous and potentially life-threatening with symptoms like anaphylactic shock, which could be fatal. Generally, allergy can be found out with certain symptoms and can be treated early with allergy medicine. When found out earlier, the chances of controlling allergy with allergy medicine are more and easier. However, it is to be noted that allergy can only be controlled, and not cured. The most practical remedy for allergy is to lead a clean lifestyle, stay away from the allergens which cause you allergy, take allergy medicine, and follow the instructions of the physician.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some of the commonest symptoms are running nose, itchy nose, wheezing, ear pain, headache, and in some cases even asthma. While most of the people ignore these problems as not-so-important ones, you have to take notice if they tend to occur again and again in a relatively short period of time. If you feel or suspect that after consuming certain food or after using something you tend to have these symptoms, you should consult your physician immediately. For treating allergy, there are both prescription and over-the-counter allergy medicine available. Usually, physicians will suggest antihistamines to control allergy, as they are considered the best in controlling the symptoms. An antihistamine is also the most versatile of the allergy medicine, as it can be taken as a pill, nasal spray, liquid, or an eye drop. Benadryl, Claritin, and Dimetane are some of the famous over-the-counter medicines while Clarinex, Allegra, and Zyrtec are the most famous prescription medicines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When exposed to an allergy causing agent, the patient is likely to get his immune system triggered on. The immune system immediately releases histamine, which gets attached to the receptors in blood vessels and makes them larger. This causes problems and results in redness, itch, running nose, and other problems. The proper allergy medicine for this problem is an antihistamine. By giving antihistamines, the histamine receptors are blocked and the symptoms can be prevented. Antihistamines usually cause drowsiness, but non-sedating antihistamines can also be suggested by your physician.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another important category of allergy medicine is the decongestant. Decongestants, as the name suggests, relieve congestion and usually go hand in hand with antihistamines. As congestion is one of the commonest symptoms of allergy, decongestants are widely used by allergy patients. They are available in the form of both liquid and pills, and are extensively used as nasal sprays and eye drops. Like antihistamines, decongestants are also available as prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs. Sudafed tablets, Afrin nasal sprays, and Visine eye drops are some of the over-the-counter drugs and Claritin-D, Allegra-D, and Zytec-D are some of the common prescription drugs. Corticosteroids, another commonly prescribed form of allergy medicine, are used to treat the inflammation related to allergies. They can be taken as nasal corticosteroids, inhaled corticosteroids, eye drops, and oral steroids.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Allegra allergy medicine is fast gaining popularity among people afflicted with seasonal allergy or allergic rhinitis. This is especially evident during spring and fall where allergens like pollens are widely disseminated by the air. Allegra medicine is also effective in treating uncomplicated skin manifestations of chronic idiopathic urticaria in adults and children 12 years of age and older.

Allegra allergy medicine is not approved for use for children below 6 years old. Allegra is best taken in the morning and in the evening.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Before you take allegra it is best to inform your doctor of any serious ailments you are suffering especially if you have: kidney, heart or other chronic disease.

You shouldnt take Allegra allergy medicines 15 minutes after taking antacid that contains magnesium or aluminum like Maalox, Mylanta or Milk of Magnesia as they could lessen the effect of allegra allergy medicine. Allegra medicine also reacts with other drugs such as ketoconazole, erythromycin, rifampin, St. Johns Wort and others. Taking extra doses of allegra allergy medicine is not allowed.
