Asthma is almost always connected to allergies. If you know which allergies you have and can get shots for them, then allergy shots will help. I'd definately find out what you're allergic to first, then follow the nutritional protocol for asthma. I know a lot of people who have been helped nutritionally this way.

Histamine forms as a result of the allergic response and mucus fills the lungs and bronchi. Here's the nutritional protocol for asthma:

• Full Spectrum Nutrition........as per label
  
• Vitamin A (natural only).......25,000 IU per day
  
• B-Complex stress formula....as per label
  
• Multi-Digestive Enzymes....2-4 with each meal
  
• Essential Fatty Acids...........2 grams per day
  
• Pantethine..........................600-1000 mg per day
  
  

Antioxidant Combination Including:

• Co-enzyme Q10, Quercetin and especially N-Acetyl Cysteine .........................................800 mg per day
  
• Calcium.............................1000 mg per day
  
• Magnesium.........................600 mg per day
  
• Vitamin C............................2 grams per day
  
• Ma huang........................... 15 mg twice per day
  
• DHEA............................... 25-50 mg per day
  
• Ginkgo biloba.......................40 mg per day
  
  

This sounds like a lot of stuff...I know, I have a daughter with asthma...but it sure beats taking the steriods and having permanent scar tissue on her lungs! Hope this is helpful for you.
