“More than half a million asthma sufferers in the UK are living in constant fear that their next attack will kill them”, the media reported this week. These fears are stoked up by the charity Asthma UK and promoted in their World Asthma Day, May 4. We believe that the main point of their report was to encourage more drugs to be taken and not to help sufferers beat asthma.

It went on to say “There are 5.1 million people living with asthma in the UK, with 2.6 million suffering severe symptoms that seriously affect their lives”.

We believe this is another part of the campaign to convince people that more drugs are their only hope for this and other lung diseases. The fact is that many of these people are really in fear of the side effects of taking the drugs on offer.

Lung disease symptoms include: debilitating breathlessness, coughing and wheezing - can be so bad that victims are even left unable to speak.

Of the 2.6 million with severe symptoms, ‘the fear of taking drugs is so great’; one in five are left seriously concerned that their next asthma attack may kill them.

The Asthma report estimated (as a result of not taking enough of the right drugs sic):

·         500,000 people are experiencing severe asthma symptoms

·         2.1 million - are suffering unnecessarily.

·         1,400 people die every year from asthma in the UK.

With statements like this that are guaranteed to terrorize anyone with the lightest wheeze it is a wonder that everyone is not scared into taking the drugs.  The facts could be so different if everyone paid attention to the simple things that can resolve lung diseases. The real important fact is that lung disease is responsibly for 25% of all deaths in the population at present. It really is a lot worse that the report above is revealing.

The good news is that the majority can reverse the problems relatively fast. We have devised our 10 Step Action Plans based upon the best science available and the results in the field when sufferers make the changes.

Every day we get telephone calls from people who have managed to reverse their lung diseases and the results show that even just a few of the 10 Steps will bring about enough relief to prove its effectiveness beyond all shadow of doubt. A call we had last week went:

“I want to thank you for what you have done for my father. Last year he could not speak or walk out of the house as a result of his Asbestosis. Now he can hold a conversation, and can go for walks. He will be forever grateful and now feels he has a future”. (M. Maher)                         

With our plan we want to:

·         Cut the number of unnecessary deaths from respiratory and lung diseases.

·         Help people enjoy life from day to day, and stop living in fear.

·         Stop children losing weeks off school and being unable to participate in life.

·         Stop family life being disrupted.

·         Stop the anxiety of repeated hospital admissions and the terrifying possibility of a fatal attack.

·         Get life style changes for defeating Asthma taken seriously by Government, doctors, teachers, employers and friends and family of people with asthma.

“It is unacceptable that asthma still kills 1,400 people every year when simple life style changes will prevent the majority. The Government must do more to ensure that asthma is made a priority."

Dame Helena Shovelton, chief executive of the British Lung Foundation, said the report’s “shocking results” highlighted the poor quality of life of many asthma patients.

“Asthma can be extremely debilitating condition but people often fail to realise the profound effect it has on lifestyle. Everyday activities that we all take for granted can become a challenge.”

Dame Helena added: “The report also reveals the serious disturbances asthma patients suffer with their sleep and ability to speak - as we all know both are fundamental to getting through the day.

“Unfortunately few asthma patients expect an improvement in their condition and get used to living with their symptoms.

“We would urge them to revisit their GP regularly and get their improvements with the 10 step plan measured and ask for their drugs to be reviewed.”

Supermarkets are being prosecuted for telling shoppers that fruit and vegetables are good for them.

Tesco is being taken to court for running a promotion in partnership with a leading charity encouraging people to eat healthily in a bid to prevent cancer. Asda faces a similar prosecution.

The bizarre red tape prosecutions are being brought by trading standards departments from two different local councils, which claim the stores have flouted laws governing labelling and health claims.

Tesco, in association with Cancer Research UK, printed labels on millions of pre-packed fruit and vegetables advising: "Eat at least 5 different portions of fruit and veg a day to help prevent cancer."

The world record for holding a breath is 6 minutes, 2 seconds. However, during normal breathing, the time between breaths averages a few seconds. In those with asthma, allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and other respiratory problems, breathing does not come so easily and is fought for on a day-to-day basis.

Currently, respiratory health is on the front pages of newspapers as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)--a pneumonia linked with troubled breathing and a high fever--continues to affect the world's population. At press time, the virus had infected 2,700 people and claimed the lives of more than 100. For most people, the greater concern is not contracting SARS, but rather ways to live with the more common ailments of asthma and allergies. 

    
..."I thought I'd have a little go at that," she says. Eight weekly treatments later she was 10 pounds lighter, and could only credit the acupuncture.

The ancient Chinese practice is widely known for pain relief, but some now believe it can help with weight loss.

Dr. Mike Kim treated Kaylor. He says the tiny needles used in acupuncture make patients pass excess water and waste and then open up the flow of energy to speed fat burning.

"It actually boosts the metabolism so that it's at a higher rate," he says.

The surprising rise of radical, calorie-cutting diet

         
...Calorie restriction appears to create biochemical changes in the body that have a more-profound effect on lifespan than simply avoiding diseases caused by excess fat. No one knows for sure how it works. It might lower the levels of free radicals, or potentially toxic particles created by the breakdown of food. Other scientists believe it triggers a state of emergency called "survival mode" in which the body eliminates all unnecessary functions to focus only on staying alive...
