I'm going to interject here--I believe Lynn's point is that "pushing through" flares instead of using asthma meds is a dangerous idea. She has posted here before that she believes breathing exercises in conjunction with standard asthma meds can be beneficial. The issue is that not using medicine at all is VERY bad idea.
The example of Jackie Joyner Kersee does not actually support what you're saying. Yes, she pushes her body but she does not avoid her meds. Check out this article:
