About this title

Synopsis

A groundbreaking, practical, and holistic approach to treating children with chronic asthma

From two physicians with fifteen years of experience in treating asthma comes the only book for children with asthma that supplements conventional approaches with effective and proven natural remedies. Parenting a child with asthma is often scary, unpredictable, frustrating, and expensive. Through controlling symptoms, decreasing attacks, and eventually reducing the need for prescription drugs, the Drs. Bock will help you and your child regain control of your lives. This book will show you how to:

• reduce attacks by dealing with the underlying causes

• reduce the need for conventional drugs, making them safer to use for emergencies

• help your child's body heal itself

• avoid permanent lung damage and encourage healthy new lung tissue to grow

• minimize emergency room visits, time lost from school, and time lost from work

• detoxify your environment, minimizing the effects of pollen, dust mites, and mold

• identify foods that can trigger attacks

• properly use nutritional supplements

• build a treatment and prevention program tailored to your child's needs

This medically up-to-date, practical, and supportive book focuses on stopping asthma symptoms and attacks before they start. It is a must-have reference for any parent of a child with asthma.
