whats it? this is that or that is this you mean?  Yes thats it

Its possible but more likely pollution verified by hundreds of studies,  is
the culprit. Sure there are all kinds of triggers but pollution like I
alluded to before  is  what I believe is the overridign factor in making
much asthma worse. If the air is bad outside , its the same air that comes
indoors and make your indoor air even worse.Still , pollution is not a
common or very accepted explanation. to those who treat it or are suppose to
at least report on it because so little is still said about it  So I think
there is a conspiracy to keep the most important reasons  from the general
public and thus I post about it. Its obvious that many people don't like to
hear it which says to me that the people who want the control are bothered.
To the extent that people who agree or don't agree, or agree with me
sometimes but calls me mentally ill or incoherent, ( choose one or all of
them) respond to my posts is the degree I think how important it is. Dust ,
dust mites and and all sorts of triggers can cause asthma. Bacteria though
is not in my mind a major concern unless its connected to pollution or
unless studies back it up which I just know won't happen. Why? because some
of the biggest   things besides smoking  can be measured and verified by air
charts. the people who are sensitive to ozone or particulates are known
entitites . In fact many people can judge their reactions to the air by
going to their particular cities charts. Thats one of the reasons I post
about this also.  Some people realize by reading the air charts they might
be able to have a marked effect on how to react to daily fluctuations of air
pollutants by modifying behavior. I have yet to see enough conclusive
evidence  that  there is a way to judge if too much bacteria is present in
different conditions that are measurable so as to be able to promote  change
by cause and effect. and modifying changes of behavior . If bacteria is the
cause I would expect much more proof by now.  .
This is why I post about it. You hear everything but the real issues even on
a asthma group!
However I will post the links that I think are relevent. >

there are many things that promote changes in cell health .
Much of it is attributed to ones personal chosen  lifestyles. Pollution is
often forced upon people who don't have ways to escape it. In fact i think
if your going to give people money to rebuild from Katrina they ought to at
least pay for having people suffer from  policies of govt that are not the
fault of the people who get asthma. .

You guys interpret everything negative to just  pollution , not me . just
like you interpret what jobs I do or dont' have or what I do for my personal
conditions Have you ever asked me if I believed if other things conributed ?
In fact I have writen to magazines and suggest a way to kill bed mites
without having to wash sheets. I certainly don't post about everything that
I do believe or dont believe in But  I do think besides smoking and foods,
pollution is the biggest single cause of illness in many people in many
states .

Oh I know people take me serious. The same concerns have shored up my stocks
, the very few that has risen.. Bushs numbers are way down. My doctor
believe whole heartily with me. A univerisity of Pa scholor agreed with me.
The links I gave should yu be so brave say way more then what I do or don't
think is true. . You might want also to get away with what I believe and
instead worry about who is making the pollution issue a viable one. Its not
me its the   Bushs . His numbers are going down and I hope they stay that
way. I . try not to rationalize by making things up ok?

Well said, Michael, but you're dealing with a madman who can't
even tell the difference between ARoberts and myself.  I'M the
one who has been posting the most about bacteria being one of the
causes of asthma, since that was the case with me.  After
explaining this in one post, and directing him to read studies
posted at www.asthmastory.com, he refused to read anything about
it and came back with, "I don't buy it".

He's escalated his posting and his incoherent rants are
indicative of someone who isn't quite balanced.  I'm starting to
think asthma is the least of his conditions.  Maybe if we all
killfile or ignore him, the attention he stops getting will calm
him down.

I agree.  Asthma appears to be a common expression of any one or a
combination of multiple causes--allergens, pollutants, bacteria, chemical
sensitivities, etc.  Everyone's physiology is different, and it is not
rational to believe that there is a magic answer in one disease model only.

I have seen the studies that support antibiotic treatment in selected cases
of asthma, and am familiar with those who have had dramatic success with it.
I started on this treatment two weeks ago (I had tried it once before, but
the treatment was interrupted), so it remains to be seen if it will work for
me.  mcs mistakenly believes that I am a major proponent of this mode of
treatment because I have provided references to studies for it, and
acknowledge it as one of many possibilities in the treatment of asthma.

mcs is a prolific mission poster whose main impetus seems to be a hatred for
George Bush (do a Google--it's quite revealing if only for appreciating the
sheer volume and obsession of it), and this has found expression in several
forms, pollution being one of them.
