But before i even new i had asthma there was never even a mention or though by any Doctor and i complained of shallow breathing many a time. The way i found out i had asthma will shock you , i actually had an asthma attack alone in my home and it nearly killed me ( no hype at all ). Yes i had very shallow breathing and i tight chest more than ever to the point where it took me to my knees. I just managed to make the emergency call . By the time the ambulance got there i was losing conciousness. I was lucky . So i would say there is a flaw in that system .

The bad surroundings and food provoke these disturbances, which become apparent by allergic reactions. The use of herbs and homoeopathy, especially nosodes from nasopharynx’s secretion, gives the full recovery even in modern megapolis.

Bailey Tue, 09 Nov 2010 03:14:24 +0000 http://blog.epa.gov/blog/?p=4953#comment-36647 Athsma and many kinds of birth defects and developmental disabilities can result from or be made worse by exposure to environmental factors. And the worst environmental factors are usuaaly in the poorest communihties. And the poor communities mfany times are minority communihties. There must be a campaign of public education and outreach to communities that have a high incidence of athsma and/or developmental disabilities. But the campaign needs to be conducted in the languages and within the cultural considerations of each community in an impacted area. Information needs to be prepared in multiple languages and multiple formats. And community action teams made up of people from the community would present the information at schools, community centers, housing complexes, hospital conference halls, city halls. This is the type of program that might work well as a public-private partnership. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.

A better program than knowing what to do when the asthma-causing conditions in the body are manifest or displayed. For example, it is more helpful for the child or patient to know how to prevent, interrupt and correct her body when it expresses asthma.
Medicine is not driven to this perspective as they are driven to prescribe prescriptions, many of which contribute to the asthma-causing conditions.
If one needs help with conditions that resist medical treatment, try Ayurveda or other non-Western (non-drug-taking) methods. Asthma is the result of a change in the acid/alkaline balance in the body. Treat cause not symptom.
The body is not wrong to have asthma – it is wrong to force the body to have asthma. Said as a researcher, it is time to consider toxicity in all cases of disease and ill health. This is a prime example.

Support the EPAs efforts to educate. Our government does care, but a $strangled government cannot do what Carlos Cuevas would like. Ask your local, state & Federal representatives to fund our nation’s brains. It is good to get involved with non profits, if we all work together we can create a better place to live and a positive example for our children. Support your government, fight for The EPA, NOAA & NASAs right to exist and do their jobs.

Climate change and the effects thereof can be mitigated to a point if we become an educated nation. Support STEM teaching in schools and we get a smarter nation. A smarter nation creates solutions and national pride. Bonus! More jobs too:)

STEM= Science Technology Math Engineering

Allowing this would create jobs here. Fight outsourcing of intellectual properties by corporations that get the wonderful spin-off created by our tax dollars. It’s insane and wrong.

I live here is completely: like and dislike. Like because feels perfectly. Dislike because our neighbor think the situations are unjustly. I don’t care because I know that We live are natural, that means, destiny. I think people,now, are weak, which product of WW II, who were The Veteran feel empathy to the victims of war. Our parents forgot our histories that live and let die are natural. Actually, all the people must be the soldiers. Ready for live and ready to die….

It would be good if no only they provide housing for this families but, if the could create jobs for people in the community to educate and create groups to reduce this triggers. As I see it it would be much more efficient, cost less and will provide a better quality of life.

Maybe if the Goverment does not do it. Non Profits could create such groups to educate about the potential problems, seek funding from different companies that provide solutions that could help (Cleaning products, dehumidifiers, Air Purifiers, etc…), and reclute volunteers from the community to provide the services needed to increase their own quality of life and their families and neighboors aswell.

Hope I inspired someone, I will begin my efforts in my community.
