Hi All: My boyfriend has asthma and he's sick of the pills and inhalers. He would rather do something more natural to help it. Anyone have any ideas or do anything to help their asthma? Regards

I looked into a naturopath for my daughter. I wound up not taking my daughter to the naturopath for insurance and other reasons, but I would still be willing to try it if I didn't have those obstacles.
Every naturopath may have a different approach. What I found out was that the one locally where I live gives a huge allergy panel and series of blood tests that are more sensitive than the ones given by regular allopathic doctors. The naturopath then makes changes to diet and recommends some supplements. The asthmatics I spoke with who were being treated by the naturopath also had different housecleaning tasks, related to their allergy panel (getting rid of mold, etc.).
My daughters regular doctor did say he was willing to work with the naturopath, but that he was aware that the naturopath was really opposed to many of the controller medications that are used today (the corticosteroids in particular).

that was about my experience.
In addition to seeing a naturopath, doing anything he can to find out and limit exposure to various triggers is always a good idea.

A good place to start is by going around your house and getting rid of products like cleaning agents, laundry detergent anything that triggers an attack. I was at a point I couldn't even walk down the cleaning isle at the grocery store. You would be amazed at what goes into a lot of products. There is a great video online called "Toxic Brew", worth watching. Also, an allergist is another option to find out what triggers his attacks. My sister was always sick only to visit an allergist and found she was allergic to so many foods, etc. She eliminated these from her diet ( not easy), but she is so much better. I'm also a fan of the naturopath!

berryk, I am the health coach for a company called HelloLife. One of their products, which is all natural (homeopathic), is called Respitrol. It is a tasteless liquid that goes either under the tongue or in an 8oz glass of water. The testimonies I have received on this product are unbelievable - especially in seniors and children. Good luck to you, Stacy
