I am sending you this “short-cut”, just to remind you that sometimes asthma can improve a lot with vitamin C supplements.

This has been found to be specially relevant for children[adults probably also] with exercise induced asthma, which means: asthma which begins or get far worse by physical effort [exercise,running etc]

Many small children with asthma may benefit from a trial treatment with : ASA FOETIDA ,an homeopathic medicine which is incredible effective in the treatment of reflux [chumtzat keva she-chozeret laveshet][stomach acid which “returns” to the oesophagus[esophagus for the Americans]

This is so probably because more and more it is found that asthma can be caused by reflux.

The child may then be given on a daily base twice a day 2 globules of asa foetida D6 [to suck],as long as is necessary.

Whenever there is diagnosed in pregnancy a hydramnion [to much fluid in the “sakit herayon”] it is also advisable for the mother to take asa foetida.

I have seen a few remarkable results with this [ which made an induction of the delivery unnecessary!!]

Now the short cut of the article of asthma and vitamin C.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – People with symptomatic asthma eat less fruit and consume less vitamin C and manganese than people who don’t have the disease, a new study shows.

……………………………………………………….ETC ETC

While it appears clear that lower vitamin C levels among asthma patients are due to lower fruit intake, it isn’t clear what dietary factors contribute to reduced manganese consumption, they add. Controls did not eat more cereals and grains — both of which are rich in manganese — than asthma patients, although they did drink more tea, which is another key source of the antioxidant nutrient.

The researchers conclude: “These findings may be of public health importance in understanding the apparent increase in the prevalence of asthma.”
