Question:
I've just started using anti-inflammatory treatment in the form of
Vanceril for my asthma. I have many concerns with this. Number one,
is it possible for an individual to get off of this treatment after
long term use? A Medical Sciences Bulletin on the Web states that
insufficient drug in an old inhaler can provoke rebound bronchospasm.
Is it possible to wean yourself from these types of drugs in a safe
manner?
Answer:
Beginning about 5 years ago, I began working with a Chiropractor who is also
a Homeopath. My lifelong asthma(I am 52) is now essentially cured. If I
reach for my inhaler more frequently than every 2 or 3 months, it is most
unusual. My two children have also been cured.
Yes - there are alternatives, but it is best not to just go to your local
health food shop and try whatever they offer.
