Asthma is the most common cause for admission to children’s hospitals. Almost one in three children suffer asthma in Australia. When a child has a mucus discharge; inflammation of the tonsils (tonsillitis), ear or throat infection, the child is often routinely given a drug medicine such as a course of antibiotics to ’settle it down’ or, ‘dry it Up’. The medicine can often, in the beginning appear to succeed in reducing (the right word is ’suppressing’) the symptoms.

Because the foreign matter of putrid mucus and puss settles down and stops flowing, it does not mean it has vanished! Far from it! It is physically and biologically impossible for it to just ‘disappear’.

The symptoms settle because they are driven back into the body but the original cause not being addressed is still active in the organism so it is only a matter of time until the child gets a recurrence of the same symptoms. As this mismanagement continues and the symptoms are repeatedly treated this way and suppressed, the mucous membranes being affected will degenerate and become more active and reactive. It becomes a ‘weak point’ in the body.

Over time, the space of a few seasons particularly winters, the symptoms change to where a cough becomes part of the symptoms. This is also treated with medicines and cough mixtures in an attempt to stop the cough. After a few courses of medicine for the cough, often a wheeze will start and the doctor will pronounce that the child now has asthma. Then the child is put onto more and often stronger drugs such as antihistamines and steroids to again treat the presenting symptoms yet giving no thought to identifying and removing the cause.

Many asthmatic children are tested to see if they have an allergy to something like dust mite, cats, dust or something minor like this. These things do not cause asthma! They can cause the body to react and produce symptoms, but let’s get it right here; they do not cause the disease.

Because the child’s system has been blasted (and that’s the fitting word that comes to mind with these modern strong drugs) for so long that the suppressed morbid filth within the body and the degenerated mucous membrane weaken the system to the extent is reacts to certain chemical substances. That is all! These reactions can certainly kill if the asthmatic’s medicines are not at hand but don’t think they are the original, underlying cause of the disease. Most often, certain foods are more responsible for causing asthma in genetically susceptible people than anything else. Below is just one account from hundreds of successful treatments for this condition.
