Not only does asthma affect up to 300 million people world wide but it also kills over 180,000 people per year.  Many researchers believe that asthma is an allergic reaction to an inhaled substance.  Asthma attacks can also be triggered by exercise, emotional stress or medications.  It is also believed that those whose diets are high in food additives and/or perservatives or other chemicals that sensitize the body, who are undernourished or who have been exposed to large amounts of environmental pollutants are more prone to develop asthma.

Alternative treatments for asthma can include, antioxidants (3 star rating), caffeine (3 star rating), omega 3 fatty acids (3 star rating), homeopathy (2 star rating), and Pycnogenol (2 star rating).  I will write another post comparing these treatments shortly.
