For Fifteen Years I Had Asthma
For at least fifteen years I have suffered with asthma, the result of life-long allergies. This asthma has progressively worsened, sending me to the hospital via ambulance three times and by car many more.
I have been under the care of general practitioners, pulmonary specialists, and allergists. Each one adding medications to the existing list of prescriptions.
In June of 1994, I was introduced to Km tonic. I chose the pill form over the liquid and took four ounces each day. By the end of June I no longer went for allergy shots (3 shots every two weeks).
My energy improved, but more importantly, my stamina increased. I could go upstairs in my bi-level home without needing my inhaler.
By mid-July I was able to do away with four of my six prescriptions. I no longer needed Proventil Repitabs, Vanceril inhaler, Intal inhaler, or the Prednizone pills held in the cabinet for emergencies. I was still unable to manage without my Ventolin inhaler at the 600m of Uniphyl.
However, I was determined to get off as much medication as possible, so I tried using the liquid as well as the Km kaps. Now I was experimenting using 1/2 ounce of Km everytime I felt myself tighten instead of my inhaler. It worked! I would just take a 1/2 ounce and wait ten minutes. If I needed to repeat the dose, I did. I still took the kaps at my usual times 9 - 11 AM and 5 - 7 PM.
It took me several months, but now I no longer need to take any prescriptions for my asthma. I rarely need to take 1/2 ounce "shots" and my stamina has improved so that I am able to enjoy a normal healthy routine. In fact, I often out-do those healthy co-workers around me. I teach, I'm the single mother of 3, I own several horses, and I'm a supervisor for Matol. Life is terrific again - I can breathe!
