Asthma @ MindSay

There's nothing really to talk about right now, and I'm one of those people who isn't very big on blogging when u have nothing to blog about but I'm sure there's something going on inside my head to talk about.

Life has been kinda steady lately, nothing too exciting happening but nothing too terrible bad happening. Though the other day I had a pretty rough call, but we wont get into that.

Life isn't that interesting right now... though.... I was researching Medical schools and got to the Mayo Med school, and apparently two research teams have suggested an idea for the treatment of asthma, which could possible lead to a cure. The researchers have discovered that an antibody, previously identified as a treatment for cancer, also diminishes the overactive immune responses in asthma.  They suggest that this antibody is used to 'induce cancer immunity' by controlling the overactive cell growth response in cancer and believed that the same concept can be implamented in asthma.

Another Mayo research team has also sugested that the cellular mechanisms of the smooth muscles in the airway may be contributing to asthma symptoms...

This is all so very fascinating and a possible great break for all of us who suffer from this disease, asthma.

Well shit on a stick! My asthma has been acting up all day and I couldn't figure out why.  I haven't been out in the yard or around anything that usually sets it off.  It finally dawned on me that the Exotic Berry wine cooler I drank last night contained sulfites. I usually don't have an allergic reaction to wine coolers, however red wine often gives me a headache.  I guess my days with Bartles and James are over.  I guess that just gives me an excuse to move on to the hard liquor. Hehe *hiccup*

I want to share with the community that finally Asthma can be beated. I would suggest everybody to contact the Chronic Disease Center, specifically Asthma at:

I got this info from the great folks over at Native Remedies.  Visit their site through any of the links below to read more informative health care articles.

Given the fact that we are blissfully enjoying the warmth of the summer season (for those of us located in the northern hemisphere anyway) you would probably think that it’s unusual to hear the hacking cough of a nasty winter cold, right? But recently it seems that everywhere I go I hear more and more people coughing.

There was no news of a cold or flu epidemic, so there was no way to really pinpoint what was going on, but it piqued an interest. As our team researched ‘coughing’ and ‘breathing problems’, there was one thing that was quite evident – there is an incredibly large number of people in America and around the world suffering from chronic lung disorders.

Although there are millions suffering from mild forms of asthma or occasional bouts of bronchitis brought on during the flu season, there are more than 600 million people worldwide suffering from COPD or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. What’s more, this is a disease that many people don’t know a thing about!

When we discovered that this unfamiliar condition was not only the 4th leading cause of death amongst Americans, but that more than half of those cases were likely preventable by diet alone (Read our article on Second Hand Smoke, Diet and Chronic Lung Disease), we knew we had to raise COPD awareness.

I don’t want to give away the contents of the entire article, but one interesting thing we found out is that many environmental pollutants are a contributing factor for COPD. This lead into some research on toxicity and an entire article dedicated to the beneficial nature of eating organic foods (Read our article on The Danger of Pesticides), as well as the 12 most polluted foods you should only purchase from an organic source and the 12 least polluted that can be purchased from a regular source (Read our article on Twelve Organic Produce Items to Reduce Your Pesticide Exposure by 90%).

Mood: Sleepy, stupid, numb, sick, ill, pain, etc, etc, etc.

Music: what ever is playing my head now, i think im hearing some Finch.

 

well diary, i was a lil bit ill, now im sick for real...so unfair, i hate to stay stucked at home with headache and pain....let me explain... i've got a flu, that ended in fever and turned into complications with my asthma and my heard condition, isnt it great?... sarcasm isnt as good as it would be in person, but well written isnt that bad, right?
