Drugs used for asthma are a short term solution providing long-term side-effects. Doctors are regularly prescribing inhalers to children with marginal problems thereby converting a transient wheeze into a chronic condition which only ever-increasing doses of drugs can keep under control. In this book, the author looks at recent research - some of which has been ignored by doctors and the press. He suggests that indoor pollutants which are exacerbated by our hermetically-sealed houses are major causes of asthma. He also argues that food sensitivities and candida also related.
