I would suggest to you that you contact Cebu Community Hospital or Chong Hua Hospital.

I saw first hand children with frequent infections like ear infections and bronchitis be relieved of their infections.  Find a chiro that works with kids/families...get referrals from friends and relatives.  God bless!

I can relate--it took me 2 yrs to find a doc to help me.  I saw 18 different doctors before I found one that actually knew what she was doing.  Try alternative medicine.

This is a very general question. What you really want to look for is Alternative Medicine/Healing Modalities. There are many ways for the body/mind/spriit to heal when it is given the appropriate tools and encouragement.\n\nWith alternative medicine, you, the patient/client must become educated and take responsiblity for your health.  You become a pro-active partner with your health care practitioner. This is crucial for achieving optimum health and well-being. It is a much different situation than is found in the typical allopathic MD's office.\n\nSome alternative healing modalities are: nutrition, herbs, homeopathy, accupuncture, detoxification of the tissues and organs via vitamin and chelation IV drips, nutrient supplementation; all types of bodywork--therapeutic massage, shiatsu, deep tissue massage, osteopathic manual manipulation, chiropractic; movement therapies--Feldenkrais Method, Alexander Technique. yoga, t'ai chi, chi kung; spiritual practices--meditation, shamanic practices, the list goes on.\n\nPersonally, I've been involved in many of these modalities for 25 years. I have had the great good fortune to have found some outstanding practitioners that have enabled me to achieve and maintain my health and well-being.\n\nIn the end--we are all responsible for our health and it's a very positive step you're taking in inquiring about natural healing modalities. \n\nThere is a ton of information out there and it can get to be very confusing. Finding a competent and experienced health care professional--holistically-oriented MD, clinical nutritionist, naturopathic physician, osteopathic physician, accupuncturist, etc may be of great value in taking care of yourself and preventing serious degenerative diseases.\n\nAllopathic medicine (the medicine practiced by most doctors) definitely has its place. Allopathic medicine is excellent in emergencies/trauma, surgical procedures and acute/life-threatening illnesses. It basically works (in illnesses) by treating symptoms and not causes and uses surgery (sometimes necessary) and drugs as its tools. It has a dismal record concerning the treatment and prevention of chronic and degenerative diseases.\n\nIt is important to remember to not "throw the baby out with the bath water." Everything has its place, time and purpose. \n\nBelow are some soures that may be of help in your quest.\n\nWishing you Excellent Health

Yes, if not reated! you may want to proceed with MD or better with MD and someone who practices alternative medicine, such as naturopath or acupuncturist.  this way you will not suffer from side effects of allopathic treatment, and may be able to restore your immune system and your total health.\nPlease make sure the alternative care provider that you choose, is trained or at least well experienced with the treatment of malignant diseases.

Hi There\n\nHere are some answers regarding Asthma.\n\nCause: \nAsthma is caused by malnutrition. Only by diligent and consistent effort to change embedded habits will one get permanent relief. The cough is a result of nature's effort to expectorate mucus from the lungs, after which breathing becomes easier. Ofttimes the cause of asthma is basically a nervous condition because the nerves are irritated \n\nHerbal Aids: \n1. Convulsions: When a person is in a convulsion there are certain herbs that will give very fast relief. One of these is tincture of lobelia, and a valerian decoction with a little cayenne added to relieve spasms. If such an attack comes after a meal one should use an emetic, such as a large dose of lobelia or use the Yoga finger method. (see # 2 below) \n\n2. Yoga Finger Method: Drink several cups of warm water, then place the middle finger deep down the throat and press the tongue until regurgitation starts. Mustard is also good to clean the stomach and lungs. Prior to the emetic a peppermint or spearmint tea should be used to soothe the area and alleviate the discomfort of continual vomiting. Hot fomentation of castor oil, comfrey, lobelia, mullein, etc., may be placed over the stomach, liver, spleen and lung areas. Frequent hydrotherapy baths or lengthy sweat baths are beneficial, followed by a cold shower or sponging. \n\n3. Vapor Bath: Another helpful method is to take a vapor bath twice a week, inhaling steam from a decoction of cudweed ragwort, wormwood, or a decoction of the following herbs, taken warm, (equal parts) will prove very beneficial: elecampane root, horehounds, hyssop, skunk cabbage root, vervain, wild cherry bark (and to this preparation add tincture of lobelia or antispasmodic tincture. Clear the bowels with an injection of catnip or barberry bark. This affliction also calls for plenty of outdoor exercise, deep breathing, and good ventilation while sleeping. The whole body system should be built up with tonic herbs such as chickweed, comfrey, marshmallow, mullein, etc. Diet should be mostly fruits and vegetables, avoiding all processed devitalized foods. \n\n4. Dr. Christopher's Herbal Respiratory Formula: (Resp-Free) It is wonderful for asthma. This combination of herbs in tablet, tea and capsule form is an aid to relieve irritation in the respiratory tract--lungs and bronchial. This is an aid in Emphysema as well as other bronchial and lung congestion such as bronchitis, asthma, tuberculosis, etc. Suggested amount for an adult is a cup two or three times a day, or 2 or 3 capsules or tablets two or three times a day with a cup of comfrey tea. For additional help in the program, it is good to add three to six drops of tincture of lobelia to each cup of tea. This formula consists of comfrey root, mullein, chickweed, marshmallow root and lobelia. \n\n5. Dr. Christopher's Hay Fever Formula: (Sha Tea) It is good for asthma also. This combination is a natural herbal aid working as a decongestant and antihistamine to dry up sinuses and expel from the head and broncho pulmonary tubes and passages the offending stoppage and mucus. Combine this with the respiratory combination to speed up the process. The wise person will turn to fresh wholesome food and beverages to keep the body in a perfect state. This will guarantee permanent relief, by going to the cause. \n\n6. Elder: The inner bark is used, although it should be aged before used. The fresh bark is violently irritating and poisonous to children. It is specifically used for spasmodic asthma with copious phlegm and stringy mucus. For asthma, take a tablespoonful whenever an attack threatens. Powdered Cloves can alleviate excessive vomiting when using the bark. To avoid bowel cramps, add a tablespoonful of powdered Ginger to the infusion. (ShoA:58). \n\n7 Lobelia: Most people agree that Lobelia is a specific treatment for asthma, as well as other bronchial or spasmodic troubles. Because the herb removes obstructions, giving it when

Hi,  Im feeling ya.. I used to go to the hospital and be admitted about every 3 months for a few days.  Even the treatments in the ER didnt stop the wheezing.  HOWEVER.... Last November my DR. prescribed a new medicine for me.  Its called Advair discus.  You just inhale on this little disc morning and night and nothing else.  No pills, breathing treatments, inhalers, and no wheezing!!  Im telling ya, it is a miracle drug.  I have been wheeze free for a year now.  For me thats incredible.  I havent even had to use  my inhaler once.  Ask your doctor...It really works...really  Good luck and I wish you health.  Debi

it's stupid. I'm an asthmatic and a nurse. It's for people with lung diseases like emphysema and COPD. I guess it could help you feel more in control and help you to concentrate on things other than that feeling of impending doom, but it won't do much physiologically.
