Asthma is a disease which affects the airways.
The inside lining of an asthmatic's airways are swollen or inflamed.
It affects the air passages that carry oxygen to and from your lungs.
Anyone who suffers from this chronic condition is termed as being asthmatic.
It is widespread and makes breathing difficult for more than 23 million Americans.
The sad part about having this disease, is the lack of respect that they get from others.
I find that most people are thoughtless and uncaring toward individuals with certain types of disabilities.
Others tend to do things that will affect their ability to breathe.
Example: Spraying pesticides in a room and not telling the person that the pesticides were sprayed so they could avoid the room temporarily.
People with disabilities like this have a rough life, it is just as bad if you were in a wheel chair and there were no ramps for you to go into a building.
Asthma symptoms can include coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness.
These symptoms are common in an asthmatic attack.
There is a higher incidence of Asthma in children that is on the rise.
Some say it is from pollution, others say it is from all the chemicals that are around us.
Look at how we live to get an idea why it is very possible that this is being caused by chemicals and the environment we live in.
A child is born in the hospital, where there are high levels of cleaning compounds and disinfectants to keep it sterile.
Everything around the child is sterilized and disinfected with chemicals.
They aerosolize odor controlling agents to make the air smell good, which is another irritant for the child to breathe before they even leave the hospital.
The poor baby has not even left the hospital and is exposed to a multitude of irritants to their newborn airways.
The mother takes the baby home, some babies are breastfed but the majority are put on formula.
The formula is heated in a plastic bottle which leeches chemicals into the formula.
The child is raised in a house with artificial air called Air Conditioning which can contain mold, allergens and bacteria that is not properly maintained.
The baby plays with plastic toys that they put in their mouths that can leech plastic into their little bodies.
Next time you buy a new toy for your child, taste it and smell it.
That smell is called outgassing and it is a mixture of chemicals that your child will put into their mouths.
Have you ever been in a fire when plastic is burning and how it can affect your ability to breathe.
That is what it is like for someone that is Asthmatic.
A child gets older and is fed frozen vegetables cooked in plastic because it is convenient.
Their food is microwaved and not cooked the right way.
Next time you cook a hamburger, cook it in microwave and then cook one on the stove top.
You will notice the one cooked on the stove is tastier than the microwaved hamburger.
Take the taste test.
I do not own a microwave in my own house, now you know why.
In conclusion, asthma affects about 23 million people annually.
It is controllable and people can live semi-normal lives.
Children are born into an artificial environment.
They are exposed to cleaning compounds and disinfectants from the day they are born.
Living in this environment could possibly be the primary cause of all the new cases of Asthmatic Children in America.
You be the judge and make up your own mind.
If you feel that you need medical information or are having an Asthmatic attack, consult with your Doctor immediately.
