Common Asthma Triggers:

INDOORS dust mites, cockroaches, fungus, animal dander, molds, perfumes etc.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS include allergens, air pollution, chemical fumes, smoke etc.

In allergic asthma if a person inhales any of the above allergens a complex reaction due to development of IgE starts & leads to asthma symptoms. Allergic asthma occurs due to hyper immune response that occurs because a person’s body makes too much of an immune system globulin called immunoglobulin E (IgE).
In non-allergic asthma the attacks can be triggered by exercise, cold air, stress, pollution etc. or other factors acting directly upon the lungs. Most people with allergic asthma can also have non-allergic attacks due to exposure.
Airway obstruction in asthma occurs due to constriction of the bronchial smooth muscles. Irritants & allergens cause hyperactivity of airways. Inflammation in airways & lungs occurs after increase in eosinophils( one type of WBC) & CD4+ lymphocytes.
About 10 -20% Asthmatic children grow out of their allergies on reaching puberty but most other children remain Asthmatic all their life with ever worsening situations. Adults rarely get out of their allergies. In many children suffering from asthma who seem to have grown out of their problem, the disease hides as a skin eruption/ recurrent headache/ urticaria etc as seen in our clinical study so far.

HOW TO DIAGNOSE OR DETECT ASTHMA ?

Parents are worried to find their child labeled as ‘Asthmatics’ but more often the term ‘Reactive Airway Disease’ is used in place of asthma. R.A.D may be described as the tendency to catch cold frequently with breathlessness. The percentage of children suffering from H.A.D is continually on the rise due to increasing pollution, industrialization and increasing use of chemicals in food.

Understanding Reactive Airway Disease (RAD) and Asthma in Children.
Parents often worry when their child is labeled as “asthmatic.” However, in children under five years of age, the term Reactive Airway Disease (RAD) is frequently used when symptoms similar to asthma are present, but a definitive diagnosis has not yet been established. RAD is often described as a tendency to catch colds frequently, accompanied by breathlessness.
The number of children suffering from RAD is increasing due to pollution and other environmental factors in today’s fast-paced life.

THE ROLE OF GENETICS & ALLERGY IN R.A.D & ASTHMA.
Most patients with RAD or asthma have a family history of conditions such as asthma, urticaria, allergic rhinitis or eczema—collectively known as atopy. If someone has allergic asthma, they are likely to have other allergic tendencies as well. Allergies may change over time, making individuals susceptible to different allergens at different life stages.

Why Conventional Treatments Often Fall Short.

Allergies are deep-seated and difficult to treat with superficial medications. Our research-based homeopathic treatment is specially formulated to modify immune responses at a cellular level. While it does not alter genetic composition, it can influence genetic expression through epigenetic changes, helping reduce the severity and frequency of symptoms. Thousands of patients have experienced significant relief and now live asthma-free lives (see testimonials and reviews on our website).

Signs That May Indicate RAD, Asthma, or Allergic Rhinitis:
You or your child may have asthma or related conditions if you notice:
–Frequent colds triggered by cold weather or cold foods.
–Shortness of breath or heavy breathing after running, laughing, or exercise.

–Cough that persists for more than 2–3 weeks after a viral infection.
–Chest tightness, wheezing, or breathlessness, especially in cold weather, after exertion, or at night/morning.

–Recurrent coughing and noisy breathing at night.
–Cough, breathlessness, or nasal symptoms after eating certain foods or drinks.

–Coughing triggered by laughing, crying, playing, or running.
–Other allergic symptoms like eczema, urticaria, itchy eyes, or nasal itching.
–A family history of asthma, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, or RAD.
–Breathlessness on exposure to dust, smoke, fumes, or perfumes.
According to Dr. M. T. Newhouse’s Asthma Guide, if two or more of these symptoms are present, RAD or asthma is possible. If more than two symptoms are present, the likelihood of asthma is high.
