Asthma is a respiratory condition that
affects more than 10 million Americans and is one of the leading causes of
school and work absences. |

| In severe cases, asthma can be life-threatening for both children and adults. In the past decade, the incidence of asthma in preschool children has reached epidemic levels - new cases are increasing at more than twice the rate of adults. Research suggests allergies may be a major contributor to the development of asthma. People who suffer from chronic asthma are usually imbalanced in their digestive tract, experience an over-reactive immune | response to the presence of allergens, and have abnormal reactions to foods, environmental stressors or pathogens. And because they are so reactive, their immune system becomes overloaded simply by fighting off everyday sensitivities. The result is that these individuals have little immune support to fend off real threats from bacterial, viral or parasitic infections. Their system becomes chaotic and weakened. Chronic disease or chronic symptoms can set in. |
