Wow, things have sure change around here. It's been awhile since I last
stopped by. I'm very glad to hear people are beginning to understand
the possibilities of a relationship between some asthma and bacteria.
Even CBI !!!!! That's really great news.
It's going on 10 years that I've been healthy since discovering the
research from Dr. David Hahn and the bacteria Chlamydia pneumoniae. The
last few years, I started taking my breathing and health for granted.
Until a month ago, when I caught a really nasty bug that brought the
asthma nightmare back into focus for me. For one week, I was back to
sleepless nights, gasping for breath and coughing violently. I honestly
thought my asthma returned and complete panic mode set in. The memories
flooded back while I sat up at night and it's probably the most freaked
out I've ever been in my life.
Thank God it was just some terrible bug (My doctor thinks it was
mycoplasma) that one z-pack took care of. It took a few weeks to
completely get rid of it and I'm back to normal again.
Now I'm back to planning my second backpacking trip of 200-250 miles of
the Appalachian Trail this Spring. I feel for everyone with asthma and
the reminder last month will serve to compel me to continue hosting the
http://www.AsthmaStory.com website. Stop by if you have a chance. It's
hell not being able to breathe.
Happy New Year all,

Yes, it is. If only more doctors would be willing to consider there's a group of people who might be cured....or at least relieved of some of their problems.

Congrats on reaching the ten year asthma free and med free mark, Jim.

Glad you were able to shake it with the Zithromax.

Jim, given the fact that the forum on your site is closed, do you think you could put a note on the top of that page referring people to this newsgroup, and alert them they can get to it through Google groups? I read on and off here, but Joy generally continues reading and CBI is a regular contributor. Of course, that may mean people are attacked by others here once their leader returns and starts with HIS pitbull attacks, but we can always take it to private email.
Happy New Year all,
Happy New Year to you and yours, and thank you for continuing to post here regardless of the abuse you'd received more than once. If not for your persistance, I never would have seen your posts or found your site and I'd still be suffering today

I added a link here from the asthmastory.com forum. Oh, and I just
reread my post and realized my math was a little off. It will be coming
up on 9 years (not 10) since I got rid of my asthma using the research
of Dr. Hahn.

Hi Jim,
Happy New Year !! I'm glad to hear that you've kicked the "latest
bug". I also had a bit of a scare in Sept. 2004 (not as nasty as
yours, though), but that bug went away without the need for any
antibiotics. At present, I remain free of all asthma symptoms. I rode
my road bike over 90 miles over the last 3 days - no inhalers
whatsoever !!
While it does seem at the moment like the mood has shifted a bit (in
this newsgroup, at least), I still feel we have a long way to go before
appropriate tests and treatments for "bacterial asthma" are readily
available from physicians. Hopefully change for the better will
continue to accelerate in 2005.

Happy New Year back at you Dave. Glad that things are going so well
with your health. I'm looking forward to 2005 and will continue to
appreciate breathing clear.
Biking 90 miles in 3 days is a lot of pedaling and a great workout.
I'll catch up with you later offline later in the year.
