Asthma prevention tips for avoiding asthma symptoms. Only through understanding the cause of asthma can we hope to cure.

You are probably familiar with what can trigger or worsen your asthma, sinus or allergies. I have described many of these agents below, and perhaps some of the information will be useful to help you avoid them in your environment. Many of these agents are harmful to our health in other ways.

Modern medicine, as it stands at the moment, has either stopped looking for the causes of asthma or it has false impressions of the causes. Through dealing with "trigger factors" we can only hope to treat the symptoms of the problem. Only through understanding the cause of the disease (Read the Naturally Free From Asthma Report), can we hope to cure.

Some reported, well-known and not so well-known triggers for asthma or bronchospasm include:

Allergens (particles that cause allergies) such as dust mites, cockroaches, pollen, molds and animal dander (which are tiny scales or particles that fall off hair, feathers or skin) from any pets
Aspirin
Peanuts
Particulates (air-born pollution)
Cold air or hot stuffy environments, or sudden changes in temperature Tobacco smoke and wood smoke
Perfume, paint, hair spray, or any strong odors or fumes
Common cold, influenza, and other respiratory illnesses

Food chemicals that may trigger asthma include: Sulphites (sulphur dioxide and sodium metabisulphite)

Food colours (tartrazine) Monosodium glutamate (MSG) Alcoholic drinks (Sulfite additives have been associated with triggering asthmatic responses. They are present in significant levels in most wines, but other ingredients in wine can also trigger an asthmatic response.)

Obesity
The dramatic increase in the number of asthmatics may be linked to an increase in levels of obesity, scientists have said. Researchers have found that the fatter the adult, the greater the likelihood of asthma.
Your Occupation
Plastics

Exercise (Exercise, especially in cold air, is a frequent asthma trigger)
Overeating, or laughing excessively
Some controversial triggers under discussion include:

Organophosphates – the widespread use of organophosphate insecticides to address pest infestations in lower socio-economic areas, may contribute to the very disproportionate high rates of asthma in disadvantaged black and minority communities in the US.

Toluene
72% of asthma patients in a study showed adverse reactions to perfumes; i.e., pulmonary function tests dropping anywhere between 18% and 58% below baseline (from "Affects of Odors in Asthma,"

Chang Shim, MD and M. Henry Williams, MD, American Journal of Medicine, January, 1986 Vol. 80)

Toluene-laced fragrance industry chemical products have become increasingly pervasive in the last ten years - used not only in perfumes, but also in furniture wax, tires, plastic garbage bags, inks, hair gel, hairspray, and kitty litter. A Danish toxicological journal, "Ugeskr Laegar", Vol. 153, ISS 13, 1991, p. 939-40, found perfume in kitty litter to be a cause of asthma in humans.

The only safe assumption about scented products is that they contain numerous toxic chemicals which constantly vaporize into the air and attach themselves to the hair, clothing, carpets and and surroundings of anyone who wears them. These chemicals go directly into the bloodstream when applied to our skin and are also absorbed into the skin from our clothing. We also inhale the chemical fumes, which then go straight to our brains where they can do major harm. These chemicals are skin irritants, suffocants, eye and respiratory tract irritants, and neurotoxins.

Household cleaning products and synthetic fragrances - One theory for the rise in asthma cases says that it isn't being caused by more pollutants - it's caused by the world being too clean. According to this theory, children raised without enough exposure to dirt, dust, and disease may not build up a resistance to some allergens -- causing problems later in life. My personal belief is that it is the fragrance and other toxic ingredients in our household cleaning products, air fresheners, dishwasher powder etc that is contributing to the rise.
