How I found cure to my Asthma

The Beginning I am 40 years old and have suffered from asthma from childhood. Many in my family had asthma and its clearly a case of hereditary. I am told that the first time I developed symptoms was as a 5 year old child. Since my family had the know how to deal with it , I was given Broncho dilators and inhalers. I had several episodes that year and was hospitalized also once Till 18 I wasn’t permanently asthmatic but kept having episodes now and then. Several alternative medicines were tried including Ayurveda , homeopath, different milks etc but nothing worked. I had several severe attacks and was administered injections when the breathing became extremely labored. Permanently Asthmatic Around the age of 21 I moved to delhi and in a year or two I became permanently asthmatic. Every morning I had to take salbutamol inhaler. Soon the salbutamol inhaler stopped working and I was put on a long acting rotacaps – flucticasone + salmeterol. I got a lot of relief. Every morning I used to get up with heady chest and the inhaler would remove the tightness and next 24 hours were easy Bad to worse After 10 years on the rotacaps , I gained 30 kgs and also felt irritable. I was continuously on anti-allergic and would sneeze and scratch without the anti-allergic. I could not live a day without the medicines. In bad episodes the rotacap would not work and I was put on nebulization of budesonide respules. I also noticed that hot water shower and hot foods aggravated my asthma which was unconventional. I always had exercise induced asthma but walking on gradient eased the breathing. Perfumes made me choke. The first realization – On path to cure During my severe episodes when I was on budesonide , I was off fluticasone . I noticed that during that episode I did not require anti-allergic. Oh my god the flucticasone inhaler was the reason for the permanent allergy – red eyes, sneezing, itching. The problem was how to get off the long acting inhaler. I researched long and understood that asthma could be due to what surrounds you and what you eat. My Experiments I started to experiment. I removed the curtains which were dusty , removed the plastic separator in shower. I stopped and restarted foods in all this process I discovered that besides curtains and dusty bedsheets , the following foods caused immediate asthma attacks; Coffee , Tea , Garlic , nuts , sugar , gourd, kesar , soy , milk ( moderate), mangoes, melons , grapes etc. I tried to remove these foods from my diet and was able to get off flucticasone inhaler . I was only on salmeterol rotacap now. These foods provided me relief – Haldi powder ( curcumin) , chewing cloves , spinach, promogrnate juice. Still I had to take inhaler once a day. The Cure Now I was aware of everything I ate and its effects on my asthama. With onset of covid I started using half a tea spoon rock salt in my pomogrenate juice. I suddenly felt much better. Also as luck would have it I started a calcium supplement of calcium citrate 1000mg + vit D 3 500 iu, one tablet per day. After a couple of days I realized that I woke up breathing easy , which was a new experience to me since as long as I recall I used to get up with a heavy chest. Already aware of the path to cure , I was ecstatic. I consumed foods which gave asthma and consumed the supplement. There was 80% immediate effect. Wow was I suffering from calcium + d3 deficiency, not really my reports showed both were not deficient. As a child I used to eat chalks but never knew why. This was maybe an issue. I continue to take the calcium supplement and rock salt and I am off asthama and also helps sos if I consume highly allergic foods. I have been off inhalers for the first time in 35 years. My two cents For all asthmatics I would say this that its combination of food and dust and some genetic deficiency. Become aware , observe what I causing your attack and finally try different supplements the deficiency of which is making your system act funny. You can try the same ingredients as I am doing or try your own combination. I am sharing my journey and will continue to do so as I don’t wont anyone in the world to experience this debilitating disease.
