PROBLEMS AND CONTROVERSIES IN BRONCHIAL ASTHMA

The following are unresolved  medical issues involving the diagnosis and treatment of Bronchial Asthma.

What is resolved, is well known to every certified Allergist, and is known or should be known to all physicians treating asthma - especially to Pulmonologists - is that most Bronchial Asthma  is allergic in origin and requires comprehensive diagnosis and management, including allergy immunotherapy in all but minor and sporadic cases.

The following are issues and my current professional opinions regarding those issues, based upon abundant relevant reading and upon long and continuing clinical experience.  Some of the research is reviewed in this web site’s sections on  Bronchial Asthma and in the section entitled “Wazzup - New and Notable”.

IT SHOULD BE EVIDENT FROM ALL THIS THAT THE DISEASE PROCESSES CAUSING BRONCHIAL ASTHMA ARE MUCH BETTER AVOIDED THAN THEY ARE TREATED - DESPITE ALL WE CAN DO .  THUS, NO SMOKING IN A HOUSEHOLD HARBORING A CHILD, NO PETS, NO PERSONAL SMOKING BY AN ALLERGIC INDIVIDUAL,  GOOD GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL AT HOME AND IN THE WORK-PLACE,  PROMPT AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF ALL BUT MILD NASAL-SINUS ALLERGY AND OF ALL RECURRENT COUGH/WHEEZE/CHEST CONGESTION - AT ANY AGE - AND THE USE OF ALLERGY IMMUNOTHERAPY TO REVERSE THE ALLERGIC REACTION (AND CONSEQUENT INFLAMMATION) TO ALL RELEVANT ALLERGENS THAT CANNOT BE AVOIDED...THAT IS PROPER TREATMENT.

FOR YOUR HEALTH CARE...CHOOSE, DON’T SETTLE
