Asthma is a constriction of the bronchial airways characterized by difficult breathing
and wheezing. In susceptible people, asthmatic attacks are often precipitated
by exposure to inhalant allergens (e.g., dust, mold spores, animal dander), foods
(e.g., eggs, shellfish, chocolate), or drugs (e.g., ASA/aspirin compounds). One
piece of vital information: every asthmatic is also hypoglycemic. It is impossible
to get an asthmatic attack unless blood sugar levels are low. Diabetics, for example,
never get asthma – with one rare exception: those with dysinsulinism (fluctuating
blood sugar levels) can get asthma when their blood sugar is too low but never
when it is in the diabetic range.
Increasing blood sugar levels to normal (i.e., by eating or drinking something sweet) will stop an asthmatic attack. The "puffer" drugs used to dilate the bronchial tubes also stimulate the adrenal glands to release more glucose from the liver, thus increasing blood sugar levels. If they did not do that, they would not be completely successful in stopping the attack. The drop in blood sugar that precedes an asthmatic attack can be brought on by exposure to something to which the sensitive person is allergic or simply by consuming a sugary food or beverage. The target organs that make one vulnerable to both allergies and low blood sugar are the adrenal glands. Asthma can be permanently overcome by taking the following three actions: (1) Identifying and eliminating all inhalant and food allergens. (2) Following a hypoglycemic diet. (3) Strengthening the adrenal glands. PRANA may also be of benefit in helping the lungs expectorate excess mucous. Underlying Themes: Hypoglycemia, Adrenal Exhaustion, Allergies. |
