A Personal Experience with Asthma

State or Country: Michigan
I can tell you only of our experience. My Son was 4 months before turning 2 years old when he had his first Asthma Attack. It was so severe the Doctor had to give him two treatments before letting us leave his office. He went through no pattern of attacks, it happened in all seasons and weather. He consistently had his meds changed and nothing helped maintain the way he should be breathing. When he was about 8 they finally sent us to a specialist. They poked his little back 99 times to tell us he was allergic to NOTHING!

I found M when he was 10. We joined with a Value Pack and changed our whole house over. About 3 months later I noticed he wasn't wheezing as much. I took him off of one of his sprays and he had no problems. Within 5 months, we weened him off of 5 medications and two months later went back for a check up with the specialist. I told him he was off of all his sprays and he was SHOCKED! He told me if he wasn't needing it to not give it to him and to just keep an eye on him. Well he will be 13 in Feb. He takes one pill everyday and has not had ANY sprays at all in over two years! He has an emergency spray that we get refilled because they expire before he uses them, but we keep them on hand just in case. He even played Soccer last Spring for the first time in his life!He still has issues around Cigarette Smoke and Perfumes Things I can't control others from doing in public. We will not say that M can cure Asthma however he already tells me when he gets older, he will be a M Customer. He feels the difference and we hear the difference. Hope this helps you and others about Asthma.
