, you can get it from NEEDS or Vitamin Cottage, also Wild Oats carries it

[Guest guest]

Hi , When my Dr. first put me on it I had to order it from NEEDS, they cater to those with MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity). http://www.NEEDS.com Its good to get their catalog as they have safe products for the very sensitive. This product which was used by Linus ing is OTC. Its very powerful so start out slow. I was told first to use it about ten minutes before eating. You can continue to sip it with your meal. I also would began it take it at the start of an asthma attack. I once stopped a west TX dirt storm asthma attack with it which previously would have sent me to the ER. Hope it works for you too. Oh, many times you can get your local health food store to carry it for you if you ask enough. That saves you shipping.

It has been like a miracle for me. I was able to get off my inhaler which was damaging my heart more and more. I had developed MVP (mitral valve prolapse) and had collapsed with it. She told me the vitamin C is a natural antihistamine which will not hurt us. I am allergic to everything and so called a Universal Reactor. Most vitamin C is corn based which I never knew and I am allergic to corn. It was a wonder I even found this out since most allergist ignore food allergy problems. To me it sounds like you need a new doctor. Try to get an environmental illness Dr. IMO. This is MCS Awareness month and

most asthmatics suffer from thie illness....Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. There is a big clinic at Dallas but also you can back channel me if you need to and I will try to give you some phone numbers or you can google for a MCS or EI doctor. They will understand your problems better and help you not to get worse and perhaps go into CFIDS like I did. CFIDS happens most often to asthmatics. As my EI doctor read me read so I could protect myself. I know more than 90% of doctors as their minds are closed. I had to learn in order to save myself. A few traditionalist allergists about killed me more than once. Sorry for the sad news, Alice pkukid1 <pkukid1> wrote: I started having probs in Jan last year . Suspected asthma , my doc was

clueless an prescribed only an inhaler and singulair for allergies but I soon foound it worked better for nighttime asthma. When it got worse and I was still doing inhaler 3-4X a day he added advair . I was on it 2 months and had problems so he changed it to symbicort ( 80) This did well( actually better but still not controlled) Using inhaler 1-2 X a week now and I found out this should be the most I'd ever have to use it!!!! IN August my doc finally told me it was allergic asthmatic bronchitis ( told me "you have twitchy lungs) don't know what twitchy lungs are and I'm guessing- nothing except this is what they tell you when they can't really make a positive asthma diagnosis. All my tests were OK breathing tests were "inconclusive" Finally last month when I went to see him I mentioned that since my last visit I'd had an increase in allergy symptoms and I added zyrtec and it seemed to be working well for me. His

response was, "are you still taking the singulair?" yes. So 2 weeks later I was sent to an asthma/allergy specialist for allergy test(I've never had before but had allergies since I was a baby) So now I'm very allergic to tree pollen, grass pollen, ragweed and dustmites and have a mild allergy to dogs. We discussed allergy shots and I can't seem to find out if medicare will pay and I'm on disability so if they don't pay I don't get them. I went back on the zyrtec, he gave me veramyst and increased my symbicort from 80 to 160 because the day I was to go for the allergy tests had an attack and was still struggling to breathe nearly 2 hours later( after rescue inhaler) when I got to his office. Now I'm waiting for an official diagnosis complete with an asthma action plan( I won't leave his office until we've written one) It's been 1 1/2 years since I first went to my pulmonologist and still have frequent daytime symptoms,

can't go outside my hoouse without a mask because of high pollen counts and yellow/orange air quality. I just can't breathe if I don't add the mask to my wardrobe. GOD!!!! How long does it take fo figure out "you have asthma"!!!!! I knew it in 3 months - by march or april of last year I knew I was dealing with asthma/allergies so why can't the docs figure it out in a reasonable amount of time??? I'm frustrated and aggrevated... I can't exercise and I'm VERY overweight and quickly becoming really depressed as I am imprisioned inside my hoouse watching life go by while I'm ( at least for now) feeling like mine is essentially over( or at least put on hold indefinitely) I'm trying to figure out how to get beyond this feeling of complete and utter uselessness because of my asthma. Any thoughts????????mailto:asthma-fullfeatured <*>
