Asthma Drug's
Advair,Safety Claims Questioned: "In the current study, Dr. David M. Lang of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio and fellow investigators looked at data on asthma hospitalizations in Philadelphia from 1995 to 1999 and prescription rates for long-acting beta agonists and other asthma drugs.
In 1997, guidelines were released that recommended adding long-acting beta agonists, such as salmeterol (Serevent) and formoterol (Foradil), to low-dose inhaled corticosteroids for patients whose asthma wasn't adequately controlled with the steroids.
Since then, however, several studies have linked long-acting beta agonists, LABA to increased risks of severe asthma attacks, asthma hospitalizations, and even death.
The drugs are likely harmful, agreed Dr. Shelley Salpeter of Stanford University in California. She pointed out that both long-acting and short-acting beta agonists can cause the user to develop tolerance to the drug, which leads to worse reactions to asthma triggers.
"It is clear" from her 2006 analysis of clinical trials, as well as other studies since then, that such drugs are linked with increases in asthma hospitalizations, life-threatening exacerbations, and even deaths from asthma, Dr. Salpeter continued.
The real debate, Drs. Salpeter and Cates commented, is not whether long-acting beta agonists are risky. Today's controversy revolves around whether combining them with inhaled corticosteroids eliminates their risk. Recent data suggest that the combination is still more dangerous than corticosteroids alone.
The study by Dr. Lang and his colleagues was funded by an unrestricted grant from GlaxoSmithKline, which manufactures formulations of salmeterol alone and combined with inhaled corticosteroids. The report states that the company was not involved in designing the study, interpreting the data, or writing the manuscript.
*****************************************
Bills Comments: Note also that the company's top selling drug is the asthma medication Advair, a combination of two other company products, Flovent a fast acting bronchodilator and Serevent a LABA.
Symbicort, another combination of a slow acting and fast acting agonist, is made by Astra Zenica and presumably since both drugs are in the same class, the above findings apply equally to both. Warning of Symbicort label: WARNING: Long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists (LABA), such as formoterol, one of the active ingredients in SYMBICORT, increase the risk of asthma-related death. A placebo-controlled study with another LABA (salmeterol) showed an increase in asthma-related deaths in patients receiving salmeterol. This finding with salmeterol is considered a class effect of LABA, including formoterol. Available data from controlled clinical trials suggest that LABA increase the risk of asthma-related hospitalization in pediatric and adolescent patients

Bronchothermoplasty! Burning Your Lungs May Help Your Asthma??
How many of you are ready to have your lungs burned by "radiofrequency" heat that "reduces the ability of the breathing tubes to constrict." Permanently?
What about in cold weather when they should constrict?
What about the Millions of tiny airsacs the Bronchoscope cannot reach and therefore cannot treat?
How long will the treatment last, 1 or 2 years, then you have to do it again?
What about scar tissue? Won't the burned tissue just grow back? Why not?
Who conducted the study? Who paid for it? How much do each of the 3 treatments cost?
Will the treatment cure your asthma? What about the "side effects?" Quoting the study website: "There is the possibility of-
fever
bleeding
spasm
irregular heartbeat
shortness of breath
increased mucous secretion
or infection."

Isn't that a lot to risk, especially when Dr Batmanghelidj has cured me and thousands of other asthmatics with none of the risks or costs associated with burning the lining of your lungs?
Before you become a human guinea pig, read his book, "ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus," available on this site to find out how thousands of asthmatics have permanently gotten rid of their asthma quickly, inexpensively with no drugs!
Contact me if you would like to learn first hand how his cure works. It has been over a year now with no asthma and for a lifelong asthmatic I feel like I have been reborn!

How Does Asthma Kill and How Can You Stop It?
J Cereb Blood Flow Metab. 1989 Feb;9(1):65-70.
Enhancement of iron-catalyzed free radical formation by acidosis in brain homogenates: differences in effect by lactic acid and CO2.
Rehncrona S, Hauge HN, Siesjö BK.
Laboratory of Experimental Brain Research, University of Lund, Sweden.
Study showed a 20 fold increase in free radicals of brain tissue when Ph was lowered to 6.2 by lactic acid, a 10 fold increase in free radicals when Ph lowered by CO2.
This is the main way that asthma kills, by an acidizing buildup of CO2 due to breath restriction, leading to a cascade of deadly free radicals that destroy brain tissue.

Stop the acidosis by freeing the breathing and augment the antioxidants (fat soluble Vit E or Alpha Lipoic Acid) in the patient's brain to stop asthma from killing!
You can easily free up the breathing by administering 2-3 glasses of water with a pinch of salt to the patient, accompanied by a dose of ALA.

Acid in Lungs Triggers Asthma Attacks!
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine:
Acid in your lungs triggers bronchial attacks!
Research published in American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine announced that they've uncovered an amazing trigger for asthma attacks—high acid levels in the lungs!
Dr. Benjamin Gaston and his research team discovered that shortly BEFORE a bronchial attack begins, acid levels in the lungs shot up as much as 1,000-fold! The researchers claim this increased acidity could contribute to inflammation in bronchial sufferers' airways, which then triggered the attack.
This was such a phenomenal discovery that researchers from Duke University Medical Center are now searching for bronchial symptom remedies using antacid therapy!
##################Bill's Comments#######################
Uh, excuse me Doc, many of us already know that acidosis, over acidity in the blood, triggers asthma attacks. We help asthmatics prevent attacks for good by eliminating acidosis with an alkaline diet and alkaline water, not dangerous, expensive drugs.

Get Rid of Your Asthma With Nutrition!
Asthma is an inflammatory disease.
When you have an alergic reaction to something, that something generates free radicals. Free radicals are dangerous substances that attack various parts of the body. In the case of asthma, it is the smooth muscles inside the airways of the lungs.
Also many of the foods you eat and drink flood the bloodstream with acid, which also damages your body's cells and promotes the formation of additional free radicals.
When the lungs are inflamed the air passages become narrow and you feel shortness of breath and you cough, in an effort to open the blocked airways; especially when in a physically or emotionally stressful situation.
The inhalers and steroid drugs sold to you by Big Pharma only control the immediate inflammation and do not attack the cause of the inflammation, which is why you continue to have attacks.
The answer is to eliminate the excess acid in your blood and to boost you body's supply of antioxidants. This will protect the smooth muscle from being attacked and therefor ameliorate or prevent asthma attacks, depending on your compliance with our recommendations.
Therfore, the number and severity of your asthma attacks will be greatly reduced and they may stop altogether as long as you alkalize your blood and control free radicals.
How can you do this? Simple, alkalize your blood stream and increase the level of antioxidants in your body. You can do this in several ways:
Nutrition. Eat plenty of vegetables, especially brightly colored vegetables. They are alkaline foods and will help neutralize the acid in your blood, plus they contain phytochemicals that act as antioxidants.
Cut out dairy, which produces heavy mucus, cut way back on meat and fish as they are acid producers. Cut out fried foods as the heated oil is loaded with free radicals. Also cut out most baked goods, because of the oil (shortening) used in preparation and because the flour made from grains is also a source of acid.
Eliminate alcohol and sodas, even diet sodas. They are among the most acidic substances you can take. The same goes for energy drinks and most bottled waters (which in 40% of cases is nothing but overpriced tapwater!) are acidic as well.
Nutritional Supplements. Vitamins E and C are great antioxidants, especially E in preventing oxidative stress to the lungs.
Ionized Alkaline Water. For the fastest results in eliminating your asthma, drink copious volumes of Ionized Alkaline Water. This is the most powerful antioxidant available to you. It is also a very powerful eliminator of blood acidity as it has a very alkaline Ph value (index of alkaline/acid ratio in a liquid.
These measures will go a long way to eliminating your asthma without the cost and frankly danger of inhaled steroids and other medicines which you are taking which do not prevent or cure asthma attacks as they do nothing to attack the cause of asthma.
