Great Article on Healing Asthma Naturally!

I found a great article that explains what really causes asthma and how to cure or improve symptoms naturally:  Natural Healing For Asthma .  It is worth a read.

I found it interesting that some foods we eat could be causing our asthma symptoms to worsen gradually without us even knowing it.  These foods are not being broken down properly in our systems and our body is fighting the foreign contaminants with mucous and inflammation.

This, in turn, causes constant stress on the lymphatic system.  Since the lymphatic system fights infections, our body becomes more prone to infections and we get more sinus infections and asthma flare-ups.

A Little Bit About Me And Why I Am Juicing.

Hello everyone!  I started juicing recently to get rid of sinus and lung inflammation and to get off all the medication I am on.  I have chronic asthma and sinusitis.  I would love to not wheeze all the time.

To control my asthma, allergies and sinusitis I am on a list of medications including: antibiotics, steroids, inhalers, nose sprays and a handful of pills each day.  I still wheeze every day and have chronic inflammation in my lungs and sinuses.   I am only in my 30's!

Since the medication does not seem to be working and is filling me with toxins, I have decided to try a few different alternative medicines.

I am allergic to Brazil Nuts and I am lactose intolerant.  I cut out all dairy and it seemed to help a little.  I went to a Naturopath doctor who did some blood work on me and found that I also have an allergy to eggs, soy and dairy and a gluten sensitivity.  I cut it all out of my diet.  That seemed to help a little bit more, but I still needed something more.

I started researching cleanses and juicing.  I came to find out that all the medicine I am putting into my body is causing more harm than good.  I am building a toxic arsenal in my body which could be causing my symptoms. A deep cleanse would help me get back on the road to recovery.

Right now, I am on antibiotics and steroids for a sinus infection and asthma exacerbation.  Last week, I started juicing once a day to get more nutrients into my body and flush the toxins out.  This week, I began juicing twice a day.  I still eat Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner but they are much lighter than before.

Next week, when I finish my antibiotics and steroids, I will began my 15 day fungal cleanse to remove any yeast, mold or candida that may be wreaking havoc in my system.  I hope to replace one meal a day with a juice at that point.
