Pediatric
Asthma... Is It Really That Dangerous?
What Might Our Children Pay 20
Years From Now After
The Full Side Effects Of Asthma Drugs Are Known?
(Curing Pediatric Asthma with Time Bombs)
When you discover your
child is suffering from asthma your doctor will undoubtedly reach for the
prescription book. If he is a particularly good doctor he might hand you a
couple of leaflets on how best to cope during your child's asthma attack.
What he probably won't do is mention the possible side effects of all the
drugs your child is going to start taking... and taking... and taking.
Do you really want your kids to go through this day after day? Isn't there a
better way? There is. Pediatric asthma does not have to begin and end with
drugs: Drugs which, in the longer term, could cause more harm than good.
Let's start with what young junior is going to have to take. He'll probably
have two inhalers. One called a 'reliever' and another called a 'preventer.'
In the reliever you'll find usually one or several types of Bronchodilator.
These types of drug work to increase the diameter of the airways. Don't you
just love natural remedies? Ok, ready for the bad news? Here are some of the
possible side effects: nausea, actual vomiting, feeling restless and
nervous, and finding it impossible to sleep.
Depending on the Bronchodilator that your child takes, they could also
suffer from headaches, irregular heat beats, diarrhea, depression and leg
cramps. The preventers don't have those problems. They are normally made up
of Corticosteroids... and these are worse! Corticosteroids are
anti-inflammatory drugs and people have died while switching from oral
medication to inhaled medication. Other things to watch out for are mood
swings (just what you need in a teenager), coughing, weight gain, muscle
weakness, cataracts and osteoporosis.
The options available in pediatric asthma are few and far between but they
do exist. Would you like to take care of your kid's asthma without drugs?
I did. For years I had to blindly submit to the whims (and down-right
boredom) of several doctors. Then I came across a new form of not just
living with asthma but beating it too. Many people are now taking advantage
of this drug-free method, especially children, whose bodies have not yet
developed enough to deal with all these drugs.
Pediatric asthma need not be one drug after the next and hoping for the
best. Doctors may say that the drugs are safe, but have they done twenty
years of tests on them? Do they know what effects these drugs will have on
our children's children? Do you want to take the risk, however small?
