Asthma Types

Identifying Various Asthma Types

Although most forms of attacks related to the various asthma types do have similarities, for adequate treatment/and or control, it may be helpful to distinguish each one from the other.

Doctors generally classify asthma into two types:

* Intermittent asthma
* Persistent asthma — mild, moderate or severe

Other types of asthma are also recognized:

* Extrinsic (allergic) asthma — Caused by an allergic reaction.
* Intrinsic asthma — Not caused by an allergic reaction.
* Exercise-induced asthma — Activity (e.g., running, swimming) induces symptoms.
* Occupational asthma — Caused or triggered in the workplace.
* Cough-variant asthma — A persistent cough caused by asthma.
* Chronic severe corticosteroid-dependent asthma — Requires continued treatment with oral corticosteroids.
* Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis — Caused by an allergic reaction to fungi in the lung.
* Asthma triad — Asthma, nasal polyps and aspirin sensitivity.

In addition to the asthma types listed above, more research has shown that even though clear patterns may exist, the specific causes of asthma are far from straightforward.

Until recently, the condition was divided into two clearly defined types of asthma: extrinsic (allergic) asthma and (non-allergic) intrinsic asthma. Today, asthma is divided into a number of different types: allergic, non-allergic/intrinsic, exercise-induced, nocturnal, occupational and steroid-resistant asthma.

Nonetheless, coming from a drug-free perspective, it's safe to say the tips below could come in handy in bringing about an effective solution for these known asthma types.

1. Avoid excessive temperature changes.
2. Ensure dust mites are reduced as much as possible in your home
3. Use a humidifier in the cold seasons.
4. Keep fresh air circulating as much as possible in the home.

Now, I save arguably the most important tip for last:

For dealing with the various asthma types, you absolutely have to give up all processed foods and animal products such as meat, milk, eggs and the like from your diet This is a must and a fact that has been in effect in several programs aimed at correcting respiratory health and finding a lasting asthma treatment solution such as the "Breath Retaining Program For Asthmatics" developed by the Russian, Dr. Buteyko.

Within weeks of adhering to this advice, many a chronic asthmatic have been able to give up the use of ventolin inhalers. The novice might cry out: Where will I get my proteins from if I do that? There are more than sufficient amounts of proteins in Fruits and Vegetables and detailed information on the exact needs for protein (which, according to Dr. Stanley Burrough's is actually about a nickel's weight worth per-day) is provided in depth in Chapter 15 of my e-book: Fitness: Inside and Out- A Guide to Improved Health, Vigor and Vitality.

Moreover, from my own experience, DO NOT CONSUME LIQUIDS WITH YOUR MEALS AT ANY TIME. This inhibits digestion by diluting the necessary juices in your stomach designated for that purpose. As a result, it hinders the much needed expansion of the diaphragm and consequently a constriction of the lungs- the bellows of life giving air- which results in the wheezing sounds any asthma patient is familiar with.

Moreover, mucus forming foods tend to all the more worsen an already detrimental situation in your respiratory tract. (Details on Mucus Forming Foods are provided in Chapter 13 of my e-book for your reference and edification.)

It is my hope that these steps may come in handy in restoring your respiratory health. Of course your own discretion is advised in regards to these suggestions. But hopefully they would come in handy in helping you overcome whichever one of the
asthma types you may be suffering from.


To Health.
