"What do most asthmatics die from?"

Answer: Asthma drugs.
Researchers from Stanford and Cornell Universities reviewed 19 studies involving nearly 34,000 patients and found that people using popular drug inhalers for asthma (Serevent(TM), Advair(TM), Foradil(TM)) were 2.5 times more likely to be hospitalized for severe asthma attacks and 3.5 times more likely to die than those using different inhalers. Five thousand people die each year from asthma (US) and about 4,000 are caused by these drugs.1717 See references below
The placebo (a true story)
A man brings his asthmatic child to the chiropractor.
The child's breathing improves and the number and severity of attacks begins to diminish almost immediately. The father goes back to his MD.
"Why didn't you tell me chiropractic could help my child's asthma?"
"It's just placebo," his MD responded.
"Why didn't you tell me chiropractic was such a good placebo for asthma?" the father said.
(Note: Placebo is just another word for our ability to tap the natural healing ability or our inner doctor.)
yours in health,
