AT LAST
� a no-nonsense BOOK which discusses natural ways of coping with asthma
!
Chiropractor / acupuncturist / naturopath, Dr. Ron Roberts explains the
benefits of lifestyle changes, breathing techniques, physical exercise, diet and
nutrition, and herbal remedies, all aimed at reducing the severity and
frequency of asthma attacks and lessening the reliance on the amount of
medication needed by most sufferers of asthma.
His method concentrates on an holistic approach and focuses on CONTROLLED
PATTERN BREATHING, diet, exercise, homeopathic remedies and acupuncture.
A variety of other natural therapies such as chiropractic, nerve stimulation,
meditation and hypnotherapy have also proven to be useful in themselves and in
working complementarily with standard approaches.
Dr. Roberts points out that while the importance of orthodox medicines in
treating
asthma must not be overlooked, in most cases complementary therapies can
reduce the amount of medication a patient needs within weeks.

The final section of the book provides practical information on monitoring the asthmatic�s condition and developing a comprehensive plan for managing it. While Dr. Roberts has a very �natural� approach to medicine and health in general, he is not about to advocate tossing away medication for helping asthmatics. �I certainly do not advocate tossing away the puffer.� Says Dr. Roberts. �When an asthma attack occurs � it must be treated immediately. It is almost impossible to get people to practice their breathing when they are suffering. This must be carried out while feeling well. However, I know attacks can be minimised, and even prevented, if the sufferer perseveres and learns to control their breathing when feeling well, to avoid the onslaught of an attack.�

Although sufferers of asthma may still rely on medication, Controlled Pattern Breathing as outlined in the CD Breathe Away Your Asthma combined with the techniques described in the book Asthma Controlled Naturally will lessen the reliance on medication.
