Eleven people a day die from asthma attacks in the United States.

You don’t have to be one of them.

Susan Millar, a few years ago, was traveling in South America with Stan Grist, an adventurer, explorer, and renowned prospector. In a small Ecuadorian jungle village, high in the Andes, Stan suddenly developed a severe case of bronchial asthma.

He almost died.

In the Ecuadorian Andes, far from medical help, the severe onset of asthma brought Stan’s career to a wheezing end. The couple returned to Quito to consult a specialist who prescribed the usual drugs and inhalers designed by the drug cartel for asthma sufferers. In the high, thin air of Quito the drugs didn’t work. With Stan’s career over, or so it seemed, they moved to Miami, Florida, so Stan could breath and get treatment.

What caused Stan’s sudden onset of asthma? No one knows for sure. In the Andes of South America air pollutants, chemicals and dust weren’t a likely cause. Nor was animal dander that causes people to be allergic to cats. Neither was exercise since Stan was in excellent physical condition. The most likely cause of Stan’s severe asthma attack were mold spores he possibly breathed into his lungs during one of many excursions into caves he explored frequently.

Due to the severity of Stan’s asthma he was advised by his doctors to give up his adventurous life. To Stan, and Susan, that was not acceptable. So, Susan, not a doctor or health practitioner, began an extensive research project into various asthma treatments.

She started at the beginning.

What causes asthma?

Asthma is an acute, allergic inflammation of the lungs. An attack can be triggered by several causes. Air pollutants, molds, animal dander, foods, exercise, chemicals and dust. Sometimes even a change in the temperature can cause an attack. Asthma is also frequently caused by emotional or psychosomatic reasons.

These triggers in turn produce allergens which are then absorbed into the blood stream. Once in the blood stream the allergens cause the white blood cells to produce the antibody lgE. These lgE molecules then combine with mast cells lining the blood vessels or with basophils which are a type of white blood cell.

Mast cells and basophils contain histamine and serotonin. The antibody lgE causes the mast cells and basophils to leak the histamine and serotonin into the blood stream causing the symptoms of allergies and asthma which are so well known to asthma sufferers.

After exhaustive research into scores of asthma treatment drugs, delving into alternative health treatments, Susan, like Stan had in Ecuador, struck gold.

She discovered a unique supplement that works to eliminate asthma by addressing the cause of asthma instead of simply treating the symptoms.

Derived from a variety of vegetables and fruit enzymes, the supplements, in the proper amounts and combination, act to support and bolster the mast cells and basophils which strengthen the cell walls thereby preventing them from spilling histamine and serotonin into the bloodstream.

Stan took the supplements and within days his asthma was gone. He hasn’t used the dangerous, ineffective drugs prescribed by his doctors since he began the supplements. Needless to say, he resumed his adventurous life in South America.

Stan isn’t the only one taking the supplements. Thousands of people, from all walks of life, from young to old, all around the world, take them every day.

A nurse in Sacramento, CA. said, “…I started the asthma treatment that evening and I took 2 loading doses before I went to bed and woke up the next morning with energy…thank you again for the information that practically saved my life…”.

In West Chicago, Illinois, a doctor uses the supplements. She reported, “… I would get severe asthma attacks ..they would pump me full of prednisone….I’ve not had to take even 10 mg of prednisone since starting this…”.

And in Arizona a woman reports “… I have been on Flonase, Albuterol, Prednisone and recently Pulmicort and getting worse all the time. Within twenty minutes of taking my first dose (of supplements) my lungs were clear, my nose stopped dripping…”.

Obviously, the supplements are nothing to sneeze at.

If the treatment is so effective why doesn’t your doctor or the drug companies tell you about it?

We all know the answer, don’t we? Money.

The supplements are natural and can’t be trademarked, owned, or controlled by the drug companies. In short, if the drug companies released the information, they would lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year in lost sales. Instead, they want you buying their expensive drugs with dangerous side effects they don’t tell you about. Except in real fine print.

The supplements are available in local health and food stores for $10 to $25 depending on the brand. Depending on the severity of your asthma you may need one or two bottles a month. Most people only take the supplements when they have an onset of symptoms which reduces the cost monthly cost.

What else can you do to help alleviate asthma?

Drink plenty of water. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day.

Asthmatics need more salt to break up the mucus. Add a pinch of sea salt in every other glass of water you drink.

Take a magnesium supplement. Magnesium relaxes the airway’s smooth muscles, dilutes the bronchioles in the lungs, reduces histamine release into the blood stream, and stabilizes the mast cells.

One third of asthma attacks are triggered by drinking wine. One tenth are caused by beer drinking. Five percent are caused by drinking hard liquor.

Why does wine and beer contribute to asthma attacks?

The link between asthma and candida or yeast infection is well documented. Wine is fermented and contains natural yeast. Wine also contains minute traces of pesticides used in growing the grapes. And, one of the ingredients of beer is yeast.

What does that mean to you?

Simple. If you drink stop drinking beer and wine. Instead, drink scotch.

What are the advantages of this alternative supplemental treatment?

You’ll save money. The supplements cost a fraction of what you pay for your asthma medicine. And, you buy them in your local health food store without a doctor’s prescription instead of at the expensive drug store down the street.

There are no dangerous side affects with the natural supplements like there are with asthma drugs. Studies, testimonials, and anecdotal evidence attests to the effectiveness of this natural supplemental treatment.

Where do you find out more about this life saving treatment? How do you get complete information, read the studies, and discover what exactly to take?

Then, stop wheezing and keep the cat.

Or buy one.

Better yet, adopt.

Until 200 years ago what is now labeled ‘alternative treatment’ was based on the words of Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine”. Hippocrates is famously quoted as saying “Let food be your medicine.” It is a compelling quote which encapsulates the very simple, very common sense idea that the most efficient healer we know, or will ever know, is a correctly functioning natural immune system. In modern cancer research this common sense approach is not only ignored it is actively forbidden by the AMA for doctors to prescribe alternative medications to fight cancer. Doctors are allowed to prescribe natural remedies to treat the side-effects of the drugs which are used to fight cancer, but not allowed to treat cancer itself with anything other than the prescribed, orthodox treatment.

The purpose of this article is not to examine the state of affairs which sees natural substances shunned in favor of expensive, and often harmful medications, but to examine what you can expect to happen and receive should you elect an alternative treatment course to deal with cancer.

One of the biggest problems with discussing alternative cancer treatments is that it covers a huge amount of ground. Anything which is outside the mainstream practice(which will usually include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment) is, by definition, ‘alternative’. As such the ‘alternative’ label is often attacked broadly based on the ineffectuality or indeed harmfulness of specific treatments. For instance treating cancer by putting leeches on the skin to draw blood is not a mainstream medical response to cancer so it would be labeled as ‘alternative’ even though most alternative treatment providers would be horrified with the concept. Attacking unorthodox treatments broadly for the practices of a few extreme treatment providers is clearly not a rational response, yet it is exactly the line which has successfully kept alternative cancer treatment on the sideline for so long.

For the purpose of this article we will discuss the type of healthcare that Hippocrates was a strong supporter of and apply to it the broad label ‘alternative’. This form of alternative treatment works on a few basic fundamental ideas.

The first is the concept that the most efficient entity at healing a body is itself. The human body is a miraculous thing and even as we learn more and more about what the body does to treat disease we are still often left mystified by the how. The body will respond to a foreign organism long before medical tests discover it, and in fact this is usually how the problem is first bought to the attention of doctors. Diseases do not have ‘tiredness’ causing properties, this is the bodies natural response to an invasion – it attempts to enter a restive state where it can more effectively fight the invader.

A primary focus of alternative cancer treatment then is not the direct battle against the cancer and the tumor itself, but a strengthening of the bodies defenses and natural ability to fight disease. This is done via strengthening the immune system. Vitamin C is known to have strong immunity building properties and was shown by Linus Pauling (Two time Nobel prize winner) to be an effective cancer treatment by itself. In fact it was over thirty years ago that Pauling and his research partner Ewan Cameron MD showed that just 10 grams of Vitamin C taken intravenously each day would extend a cancer patient’s life 6 times longer than chemotherapy treatment. It is also worth noting that while Vitamin C builds up the immune system, chemotherapy breaks it down, which means that where chemotherapy is used it becomes the only defense the body has against cancer – the only way of continuing to fight the cancer is to continue chemotherapy. The clear conclusion is that Vitamin C is a more efficient treatment than Chemotherapy and has none of the debilitating side effects.

Alternative treatment providers have been able to use this type of research as a base for formulating a case by case plan to restore the bodies balance and fight cancer. The fact that it is ‘case by case’ is also another important component of alternative treatments. It has to be recognized that no two cases of cancer are going to be identical because there are two many different varying factors. The type of cancer it self is considered, the location of the cancer and the size of the tumor will all effect how the treatment is administered. The patients only physical state must be considered two and this will usually involve a detailed look at their body, diet and lifestyle. Everybodies DNA is different and some people are more likely to respond positively to some treatments.

This critical fact is often what is left out of a full assessment of alternative cancer treatments. Just because one person responds to a specific course of treatment does not mean another will get the same result. Imagine an auto repair shop. If you said to your mechanic that your car isn’t working he will not simply change the oil and give you your keys back. That may well work for some cars, but it will most definitely not work for them all. Your mechanic will ask you questions about what is wrong with the car. He will ask for the symptoms and from these discern the cause. Only then is any attempt made to ‘cure’ the car. Now compare that approach to the approach of orthodox medicine that will change the oil and water, give you a new set of tires and tune the engine. Too bad if you went in because your brakes didn’t work.

In most cases an alternative treatment is going to require some type of detoxification process. In modern society we are exposed to more harmful substances and processed foods that at any previous point in history. These toxins can dwell in our system for a long time and are often part of the cause of a disease. At the very least the body is wasting resources fighting them that could be assisting in it’s fight against cancer. The detoxification is an ongoing process, particularly if the other treatments are effectively killing cancer cells. The death of a cancer cell actually introduces more toxins to the system and in large doses these can be extremely harmful and even fatal. This is why all cancer treatments are undertaken gradually – because a treatment that killed all cancer cells immediately would release a massive toxic load into the system and put it in even more danger.

Alternative Cancer Treatment also puts a huge amount of emphasis on a patients diet. Conventional medicine ignores this and most orthodox cancer treatment will result in a serious loss of weight. Forty Percent of cancer patients die not from cancer but from malnutrition so it is vital to ensure that a healthy and regular diet is followed. The correct balance in the body is also going to mean less nausea and other symptoms associated with cancer treatments.

This article has touched on what you can expect in an alternative health treatment for cancer, but it must be stressed that it only touches the surface of the options available. There are over 300 treatments that have been shown to be effective in the treatment of cancer but are not part of mainstream medicines response. The important thing is not knowing how many options there are out there but knowing which options, and combinations of options are going to work in any individual case. Alternative Cancer Treatment takes a holistic approach to the treatment of cancer and seeks to assist the sufferer not just in overcoming their cancer but also in enjoying their life and living well while they do. A cancer survivor who beats cancer using alternative medicine will not just be alive, but they will be alive and healthy. This increased quality of life, both throughout the treatment and after it, is an essential element in what makes alternative cancer therapy such an attractive option to those with the good fortune to explore it.
