Dear Rae, I am sorry I used the term desens, what I was referring to
was "desensitisation" and the application inferred was reducing the
bodies reactive effect to various substances which cause the asthmatic
types of problem, thus having a reducing effect on the overall problem.
We are talking allergy related asthma only and that is my only
interest.

There are desens practices where various specific reactive substances
for a sufferer are isolated and a vaccine prepared which is injected
progressively over a period with a view to making the subject less
affected by those problem substances. This idea has been used for
probably fifty years or so with varying degrees of success, as far as I
was concerned it is barely above being a waste of time and my
observations over many years indicate any improvement with this
technique is generally marginal.

Anyone being exposed constantly to problem substances dependent on the
concentration usually has their problem progressively worsen and
increasingly more substances most often become increasingly involved.

When you analyse hundreds of cases you find the incredible multiple
application of antibiotics is normally usually involved.   If this is
considered as having adverse effect on that persons general immune
system or resistance ability to basic odd viral types of things
generally, you normally find that the person has a terrible history of
repeated ongoing problems with no reserve ability to fight even the
slightest cough or cold kind of thing. The other aspect is that these
kinds of people usually suffer moreso than those without the problem.
Polyps are common, plus all the other odd symptoms especially ENT kinds
of things.

I was warned about this as a chronic long-term sufferer, and that
warning was part of a set of routines and was the greatest gift I have
ever received. You "need to know" something about this which you might
learn by googling "Gary Huffnagle" he is one of the latest
investigators involved with this antibiotic aspect and his findings fit
the bigger picture quite well, although my instruction was slightly
different covering antibody aspects.. So this understanding is another
facet of trying to address the problem, and it usually assists in
producing the "goods". When a sufferer learns to live without
antibiotics a substantial health improvement generally occurs after a
couple of years, and a completely different ongoing phase of improved
health ensues. I have folowed subjects for more than twentfive years
and the general trend is evermore to avoid antibiotics unless
absolutely neccessary.                          This has to be
experienced to be appreciated.

Normally if you retrace your circumstances carefully, you will
appreciate how this might happen and apply to your own situation. It
can be a bit like investigating an aircrash. In your case you mention
the onset of the problem began after some innoculations, if you were to
consider that the problem might have been generating prior to that and
that given the illness effect of these extra substances may have pushed
you over the edge, it would be credible. Often the problem begins with
children that have histories of poor general health usually ENT
related, then they might have a bout of flu or some minor illness and
"bingo" they become asthmatic. These are usually good cases to examine
for antibiotic useage and the "circumstantial web" is usually
dreadfully apparent. Pitifully apparent would be a better term. If you
might apply this concept carefully to common cases around you it will
be seen.

Paper factories do present problems often by the bleaching agents used,
aluminium smelting is another potent problem source, even the use of
aluminium pots and pans are suspect, but probably the worst is for
people working in production of antibiotics, they need to wear
spacesuits these days..

Your mention of the problem onset at age 7, would likely infer that
your problem includes some food kinds of items apart from the dust and
airborne kinds of things, most likely also involving things like
washing compounds and strong aromatic substances etc. These kinds of
things usually typically include folllowing smoky vehicles on a highway
and diesel exhaust kinds of things.

Some of our people here have recently made remarkable advances (I feel)
with the overall problem, one of the latest is isolating various bugs
associated with childrens ear and throat infection problems and
developing a vaccine aimed at alleviating that problem, which of course
is hoped to remove the neccesity for most applications of antibiotics.
If you follow children in those earlier stages where they have repeated
ENT problems you normally find repeated use of antibiotics which
obviously is heavily involved with their asthmatic condition
generation. A further application of probiotics is also showing
remarkable benefit in some of these areas.

     Our supermarkets now have A2 milk on the shelves which is another
positive step, plus the acceptance of probiotic courses which is
supposed to assist regeneration of the poor immune problem. So we are
seeing "snippets" of progress. Probiotics are also proving
substantially effective for treatment of eczema which is very closely
allied with the asthmatic problem.

My original involvement in this examination of circumstances was really
due to being an incredible skeptic, how could such simple procedural
remedial practices have such incredible positive effect, when normal
medicine never really helped all that much!         The key to
overcoming the problem lays with understanding how it began and how it
is being maintained. Remove or address the cause/s and the effect can
usually be easily addressed, but it must be addressed with a routine of
some kind, just removing the problem causes does not effect a proper
problem reduction alone, this is where and why all previous attempts
were proven unsuccessful. This is where the cold-shock effect has such
substantial benefit. My greatest and best result of my endeavours is
having children with no respiratory problems, against all the odds with
my own severe history and an asthma related death on my wifes side. So
there have been incredible rewards.

Onsite asthma investigations are incredibly revealing, I really cannot
understand why they are not a commonplace routine procedure, it would
save the community millions and improve general health substantially.
But it will eventually happen.              The only place I have ever
conversed with anyone doing this kind of thing was a Russian Doctor who
was an asthmatic specialist and he regularly visited subjects homes
determining problem sources. It was mutually surprising and very
interesting comparing notes and ideas. He was incredibly experienced
and indicated good results.

Most severely affected asthmatics are forever on the lookout for some
odd method for improving their lot, I suffered terribly for half my
life, tried everything, even the Chinese calcium cure, different
meditation ideas, but really they were all marginally positive if
anything. I was just lucky to come across a chap (specialist doctor)
that really knew his stuff, it was a complete re-learning process and
change of lifestyle that produced the goods for me. So I pass on the
remedial info and teach subjects how to overcome their problems now. I
do suggest that this system is beneficial in probably 60% of cases, but
that is not a true representative picture because many people do not
properly practice the routines and thus do not realise the real
benefits, plus I class the problem as addressed only when no regular
medication is any longer required..Many subjects have benefits to
lesser degrees because of inability to escape allergen situations or
other affecting causes.

Buteyko and other systems of breathing are substantially assistive,
especially where there is limited ongoing allergen exposure, but the
cold-shock system I practice is substantially superior to any of those
practices. If you would like to know more please indicate affirmitive,
you may have gathered that this netsite is extremely hostile to any
procedures not using drugs, virtually to the point of intimidating and
ridiculing anyone with different ideas, and usually try to ridicule any
material to this effect. I feel that this inherent kind of thinking is
part of the problem, not part of the solution, and those practicing
these flat-earth concepts are simply prolonging human agony and remain
part of the overall problem.

Cheers, Merlin
