- This wasn't the impression I got from your first reply, but I will
- adjust my perceptions accordingly, thanks...
-
- >More importantly, why are you avoiding steroid inhalers?
-
- I understand inhaled steroids come with few side effects, this is more
- of a philosophical choice, one shared by my MD. As it pertains to me,
- I view inhaled steroid used as an end-of-the-road treatment. I don't
- promote that view to other asthmatics however.

-
- My choice, partly through my choice of physicians. However I recognize that
- if I was (or am) unable to deal with my asthma through alternatives, that
- I would definately seek optimal allopathic treatment. I am very aware
- of the risks of long term unmanaged asthma.
-
- >I suspect an up-to-date allopathic M.D. could help you to control you asthma quite well.
-
- Agreed. However homeopathy offers me a 'cure' as much as that may sound like
- a fantasy. Considering the low cost is seems reasonable to give it a try.
- So far, I believe the results so far 'may' be very promising. This is day
- 5 of only needing 2 puffs of my inhaler.
