My asthma meds are causing havoc

Posted By Sweetberry (New York) on 01/09/2012

Hi to all I am first time user was diagnosed for chronic asthma as teenager. Now after 30 years of meds not helping, I found this site. I need guidance. I bought today 3 percent hp and put in nebulizer but did not help- it made me shortness of breath. I now take maxair 3x day and now I need it more every 2-3 hours. Should I continue the hp? Oh I need help- what am I doing wrong? or should I just continue.

I am healthy but need to get over this so called fake asthma which the drug is keeping me. None of my 9 children have asthma nor my dad or mom or sisters or brothers how can I best get rid of this? I eat garlic on and off don't consume oil, take vitamin d, lemon will bring up stuff and will need neb xopnex which will help for 4 hours and after a week will get fever and must quit. The sleep is the main problem when I lay if I sleep on couch three days, asthma is very, very moderate.

Oh please someone help- the dr says I have 2 points asthma on scale of 1-10 but the drugs kill me it, robs my deep concentration and after the dose is over the mucus is trying to choke me and I must be choked hours till I take the next dose till it doesn't work more. It's fake- the med makes you have to be addicted to it help, help!!!!! Thanks

P.S. Can it be the short breath is from my lot of pressure that I have and not from asthma. If I go to dr he will give me drugs for heart or stress- why not please help

Sweetberry I did read somewhere that asthma is caused by a magnesium deficiency and that the inhalers you take for it depletes the body of magnesium... Maybe start some research on that. The best/quickest way to get magnesium into you is transdermally (via skin). Magnesiumforlife. com is a good place for you to start reading.

Hi Sweetberry, In addition to the Mg that Debbie suggested have a look at Vit A plus the herbs Japanese Menthol and Tulsi. I used to be on very high doses of asthma meds, 3 different ones. One was so high the prescribing Dr had to first get permission from a Government department! About halfway down the page is what I did and posted on https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/asthma5.html

Plus have a read of other folk success stories. When you find what works for you please post your results. All the best.

Sweetberry: I have tried many different methods to help my asthma with not much success. But I started taking a statin (generic) about 1 month ago. I read about how they are helping copd/asthma patients. I know they have side effects. But in my case I was willing to try it anyway. I now take one 10mg of a generic leukotriene antagonists AND "1" 40mg of a generic statin in the evening with food. My asthma is almost completely resolved! Make sure you read about the side effects. Do a search for "generics" for statins and leukotriene angtagonist. I am sorry that my only solution is more drugs. But this combo has done it for me.
