Approximately 3 months ago, one of my mother's friends recommended remedies, from a popular home shopping network, for Acid Reflux. The main remedies are: CoQ10 and N-Acetyl Cysteine. I started taking 4 CoQ10 (100 mg capsules) and 4 NAC (500 mg capsules) in the morning. I usually take the NAC once or twice again during the day. They did not stop my Acid Reflux, but they did greatly reduce my asthma symptoms. For real.
I ran out of the very expensive CoQ10 once, so I bought a less expensive brand at my local mega-market (yes, that one), which worked just as well.
During the 3 months that I've been taking these two remedies, I've only used my nebulizer once (before, I used it 4 times/day), and my inhalers approximately 4 times. I haven't used inhalers in about 3 weeks. That is progress.
I'm not touting these supplements as a cure, because I have to keep taking them to get the benefits. That's fine with me. Every day, I'm shocked and delighted to be breathing freely!

Do you have old, worn carpet/rugs? Or a bed mattress that maybe you kept over from an old abode with problems?
You could try a 72-hour fast if you're well enough, to act as an elimination diet done all at once, where you try to find the offending food! If the lungs clear, then the problem is in the diet somewhere. Or you could just have a hypersensitivity (not quite an allergy) to something, even a toxin. If visiting friends for a few days at least, do the symptoms go away?
Lastly for a checklist for now, and only if you do have an allergy or hypersensitivity, many people
In the past 10-12 years have tried the products "yamoa powder" and/or "oralmat" to rebalance their immune systems to eliminate things from allergies to asthma!

Many elements of our home and work environments are overloaded with synthetic chemicals, which are the main trigger for my asthma. For example, carpeting is processed with a number of toxic synthetic chemicals, including formaldehyde. Much of the manufactured furniture is made of composite woods, which also contain formaldehyde and toxic glues. Our interior environments are loaded with many synthetic chemicals, so I suggest you learn more about them. Many manufactured components take months or years to outgas and can silently make a person ill. Furniture, carpet, cleaning solutions, health and beauty aids are loaded. Fragrances, including perfumes and air fresheners are nothing but synthetic chemicals that you and your family are breathing in, and those toxins are building up in your bodies.
With my condition, I try to be very careful about what comes into my home, as it is my safe place. Recently, I purchased a dehumidifier for our basement, which produced some kind of gas that floated up through the floor boards (I couldn't smell anything). It never occured to me that this would be a dangerous piece of equipment, but it was. Just beware of the unknown....four years ago, I took doxycycline which caused a severe asthma episode that lasted for 4 or 5 weeks. You never know!
In addition to the asthma I am currently experiencing,I have also had an annoying cough at night. That's what brought me to Earthclinic tonight, as I needed to deal with this. I figured the most effective concoction would include AVC..I wasn't dissapointed! I can tolerate ACV, but don't like honey, so I heated 2 Tablespoons of ACV, 1 Tablespoon each of honey and lemon in 1 cup of water. With the first sip, it calmed my cough and I think it has eased my asthma some too. This mixture was almost tasty, and I will definitely keep it up! Thanks everyone!

I have been suddenly left completely disabled for the last two years. Sudden onset of respiratory illness and lethargy. I'm 35 and have been unable to do even the basic of personal daily routines. I used to ride all terain 20 miles a day up north. After two years of relying on modern medicine and countless hospital stays, I have decided not to die from a pescki fungus or anything else. So I have begun taking matters in my own hands and will try anything that makes sense.
I currently began a double dose of DHEA as a natural precursor to antinflammatory, 7 oranges a day, 2xday apple cider vinegar, copper supplement, probiotic yogurt, and 4 times daily supplement.
After 3days my neighbor commented that I have color for the first time. I also have been able to get out of bed. I am going to try the peroxide and apple cider vinegar in my nebulizer and report back. I believe it will work. Make an uncomfortable environment for bacteria, kill it, get it out, and keep it out! All this without dying from side effects of prednisone, advair, and numerous others.
Thanks for your posts! Many prayers for all of you.
H2O2 Inhalation Therapy
You didn't mention what time of year their seasonal allergies occur. Whatever season, it is an inhalant allergy (the pollens entered their bodies while inhaling. All four of my children had spring and fall problems that usually started with clear running noses, followed by coughing, progressed to yellow running noses and ended up with bronchitis , fever and ear infections. I never figured out what caused it initially until I acquired a mixed rat terrier doggy who coughed so bad the first fall we had him, I thought he had distemper, but he started improving before I carried him to the vet. When little doggy started the same cough the following spring, My aha button beeped and I realized that I had acquired an allergic doggy and connecting allergies to pollen from blooming plants, and since the dog stayed outside more than the kids did, I went outside to try to find the triggering offender. Lo and behold the only thing I found blooming was the big elm tree just outside my front door. It wasn't very eye-catching; just an ugly fringy mess. I guess that is why I never noticed it before! My aha sent me to our family doctor to request the prescription which was required to obtain it at that time. When he started writing, I asked him to just give me at least a pint, or preferably quart since I would be giving it to 4 kids,myself and our dog. He wrote it for a quart then and every time I needed it after. I don't know the topography in Cucamonga, but that elm tree became my alert to start benadryl in the spring and kept them on it 4 times a day until all the trees leafed out good before stopping it. Goldenrod was my cue to restart the benadryl in the fall and I kept them on it until the first killing frost. Voila, no more seasonal allergies ending up with infections and loss of sleep on my part while administering all the antibiotics and trying to combat the pain, not to the cost.
The problem is to figure out what is triggering their seasonal allergies and start the benadryl (diphenhydramine HCL) before the symptoms start. If you are concerned about long term antihistamines. I attended a workshop [probably 15 or 20 years later and listened to a man teaching pediatric medicine who said the same thing and that they had kept some children on it continuously for 4 years at a time without any problems. If you can't find their triggering causes, you may have to go that route. Another thing you might try is a tsp. of unprocessed honey at bedtime. Be sure it is processed within 50 miles of where you live and D0 NOT GIVE IT TO YOUR BABY UNTIL IT IS ONE YEAR OLD. When I first heard of this, I began trying to figure out the rationale behind it. The conclusion: bees produce honey from pollen collected within that 50 miles radius; therefore the honey is doing the same thing the expensive allergy desensitation injections do - delivering minute amounts of pollen to desensitize them to those pollens - but a lot cheaper and less painful. Honey also has some antibiotic effect. Keep up the good work and keep your hands on those reins!
In parting, I'll share another young doctors lecture before the one mentioned above. He stated that antihistamines made no difference in middle ear infections but emoving bad tonsils did. I disagreed with him and apparently insulted him and his medical sponsors when I asked what time of the year the studies he was quoting was done. His answer was he didn't know but he assumed it was winter.When I told him that speaking as the mother of 4 (2 with tonsils and 2 without), that tonsillectomies made absolutely no difference in middle ear infections but the intelligent use of benadryl did; but you needed to start it with the earliest symptoms or before they started if you figure out your signals for starting it before symptoms began. After my experiences with my own children, the first question I asked the parent was if the child tended to have ear infections in the spring and fall. When the answer was "yes", I found that antibiotics and antihistamines were necessary to get them well but I advised them to watch for the elm trees to bloom in the spring and the goldenrod in the fall to know when to start the benadryl and also when it was safe to stop it. Voila, the same regimen worked for my little patients the same as it did for my own children. All 4 of my children continued to have the ear infections despite having tonsils removed from the first and third child. With the prevention outlined above, none of them had any more ear infections until 2 of them got external otitis (called swimmer's ear) at different times in their teens. Hope you figure out your cues, if not, don't be afraid to continue it longer and if you're getting the benadryl over the counter you can double the dosage because most prescription drugs that are moved to OTC status are recomended at one-half the amount usually prescribed. We already had my granddaughter on 25mgms of benadryl 4 times a day when I took her for 2 year checkup. When asked how she was doing, my reply was that thanks to l tsp. of benadryl 4 times each day she was fine. The doctor said to make sure she didn't get too sleepy with that dose. My little one was happily playing while we talked, which is why I laughed when replying: "Does she look sleepy to you now? She had the last dose 1 dose 1 hour ago.
