My wife suffered from severe asthma. Those of you who do not have a child, spouse or other loved one with severe asthma simply cannot
understand this condition. It's worse than anything that I know of from the point of view of a spouse.
My wife went into the hospital three times with asthma so severe that she had to remain for days. One time I came home to find her in bed
with her face and fingers a beautiful shade of purple. She didn't want to go to the hospital but I convinced her - she spent the next 4 days
re-learning how to breath.
We visited doctor after doctor trying to find the answer. She was on all of the drugs for asthma, and those only served to keep her alive -
they didn't help the condition improve.
We tried all of the quack cures - the "waters" homeopathic program (stupid and inane) is one example of a totally useless and misguided
cure-everything system that doesn't work. We tried chiropractic therapy, which helped her headaches and backaches but not her asthma.
Because of the unique nature of asthma (it's so quick and severe that a person can die in minutes) we had to get all of the equipment at
home. At first the doctors did not want to give us a nebulizer (a device to push asthma medication into the lungs) or shots of adrenalin (which
clears up the breathing passages), so we changed to doctors who actually understood asthma.
Finally, I gave a book ("Reversing Asthma, Breathe Easier with
this Revolutionary New Program", written by Richard N. Firshein, D.O.) to my wife for her birthday. She put it in the shelf and didn't read
it for months. Until one day she had to spend a week in the hospital. I reminded her about the book and made her promise to read it. She still
didn't want to, until I pointed out the trouble I would have "breaking in a new wife". She got the point and read the book.
And her life changed! It was a bloody miracle.
It's important to understand that this program is not an immediate cure-all. It works slowly to strengthen the body so it can control asthma
on it's own. You take huge doses of vitamins all day long, every day, and guess what, after a while your body just gets stronger.
My wife still has asthma attacks every so often. But now they are minor inconveniences instead of life-threatening emergencies.
Thanks for this book. It saved my wife's life.
