Asthma is rising at epidemic rates in this country. Today, more than 15 million Americans suffer from this condition-nearly double the number two decades ago. It can strike at any age, but half of all cases are first seen in children younger than ten years old.

The Whole Family Guide to Natural Asthma Reliefis the essential guide for treating and preventing asthma without the use of potentially harmful drugs. The authors first show how to identify common asthma triggers and then explain the biochemical reactions these triggers set off in the body in easy-to-understand terms, clarifying the interconnected relationship between asthma and other allergies.

The core of the book is a pioneering program to naturally increase the trigger threshold for asthma and allergy attacks. This program features specific supplement and herbal recommendations for seniors, adults, and children of all ages, and an Asthma-Control Diet for the entire family, with helpful tips for weaning children off their current diets. Also included are easily accessible checklists for ridding your home and workplace of asthmatic triggers; a quick exercise program to help reduce attacks; and ancient Tibetan formulas that have been shown to aid in the treatment of asthma. This proven, easily implemented plan used by the authors and their families can alleviate many asthmatic and allergic conditions in a matter of weeks.
