NO STERIODS!!! Don’t like them won’t take them any longer and they really don’t work very well anyway. I’m miserable though and need something but I’m so worn out by traditional medicines. I want something healthy and all natural.

asthma can be very serious if not treated correctly. I have been suffering from asthma for 24 years- since I was born and I know how awful it can be! Are you talking about predisone (the 10 day prescription for extreme cases of flare ups), or daily control steroids? The prednisone can make anyone go nuts and I hate when the dr. says you need to take these for 10 days- but the everyday steroid is just to keep your asthma under control and you should really consider trying it at least. I hope that you still have your rescue inhaler for attacks…

The next best thing is salt water- anytime I am around a beach or an ocean, my breathing improves dramatically (The nebulizer machines use part salt water and albuterol)

I have heard of these salt water inhalers, but I have never tried one myself— this could be what you are seeking, but again I have never tried it so I dont know if it works… here I found a website of the salt inhalers- they are a little expensive but here is… http://www.natural-salt-lamps.com/saltpipe.html

Good luck to you! If you try it- let me know how it goes! Take care!!!

National Jewish Health will be among the first in the United States to offer a new procedure for severe asthma patients, known as bronchial thermoplasty. The Alair® Bronchial Thermoplasty System was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Adult patients who suffer from severe persistent asthma that is not well controlled with inhaled corticosteroids and long acting beta agonists, the current standard-of-care treatments, will be eligible for the procedure. The procedure will be offered at National Jewish Health within the next several weeks.
