Asthma

I do not think that it is just dust mites that casue Asthma. My eldest daughter has developed a Asthma against smoke. My eldest son has a Asthma that is caused by physical exertion. If he over works himself he finds it hard to breathe. I am sure as science continues forward they will find ways to help all Asthma pateints and people will breathe more easy.

Asthma Health & Special Psychology

I might be way off base but I do think the issue is really the dust mites. Its the dirty air out side! Pollution is at record highs across the world and so is Asthma, coincident not likely. Yes keep stuffed toys out of the bed and pets off them and wash and clean regularly even get a good air filter.

Also good nutrition helps, eating high starch and milk filled diets puts a big stain on your bodies immune system. This can cause more phlegm and lung irritation also due to post nasal drip when you sleep. I know for my boys when they stay away from the junk they breath much easier. Also mold is a huge killer for asthma so keep your yard and flower beds clean. If you have a tone of leaves till them under and bury the mold. Need good ground cover use mushroom compost.

Sorry ranting a bit but that is my tactics that seem to help me and mine.

The exact cause of asthma is unknown - until now, that is! At a town hall gathering the President trumped the entire global medical community and declared that coal is the evil villain causing asthma. "The challenge with coal is that although it's very cheap, it's also dirty. And it can create the kinds of air pollution that not only is contributing to climate change but is also creating asthma for kids nearby," the President said. And he knows a thing or two about medicine - like how those greedy doctors are needlessly pulling out tonsils and amputating the feet of children for monetary gain. Ref. Source 6
