UPDATE 031406: Well this lasted for about three weeks then I needed my inhaler as usual. :(
Maybe the "stones" from the back rolled into spots in my liver that make me allergic? Overall I am much better, but my asthma isn't gone... oh well...it was an exciting few weeks!
I will keep flushing! Is is such an inconvience I need to plan my life around it !!
Original post 020406:
This is completely unscientific, but I wanted to share this with you.
I have had Asthma all my life and I am 34.
For the past two weeks it has been gone!!!
I am not taking any medicine.
I haven't had any for the past two weeks and it is rather a record for me. I normally need my rescue inhaler once a day or everyother day. My post-nasal drip is significantly reduced. If I go a month I am gonna have a party!
Granted, I got acupuncture (and herbs) for a year but I haven't been since last April. I went to a student clinic and they all told me I had a congested liver. And damp-heat. And deficiency. One of the students used to call me "liverspleen girl":) I don't eat ice cream any more that is for sure.
Sept-Nov I did a herbal intestinal cleanse program/anti-
parasite program.
I did one *very* successful flush right after Thanksgiving ( I drank a lot of organic unfiltered apple juice the day before) It seemed like the apple juice did a lot of work on its own since I pooped out a lot of brown pea sized chaff even before drinking the olive oil. I have been drinking a lot of apple juice over the past months as well. Don't want to leave that part out.
I did a second flush about a week after New Year's. It didn't seem as successful. I got that horrible cold that is going around right after I did that.
But ... I haven't used my rescue inhaler for two weeks!!! I even challenged myself by hiking up a hill in the cold wind which usually triggers my wheezes...I became short of breath but I didn't need my inhaler.
