Our Asthmatic Boy and how he Got Well... Part 1

As most of you know, I'm the proud mom of four great kids! We are blessed with children ranging in age from 12-4 years old, and have learned over the years the importance of good nutrition and supplementation. In fact, we feel more than a little passionate about the subject...

All of our kids have had their little ups and downs with health, but Isaac, our 10 year old, has been our biggest challenge. Born a month early, he struggled with asthma for much of his early childhood. He was on steroids and nebulizer treatments with every little cold, and missed over a month of school in first grade due to asthma. He is a very athletic and active child, so the asthma was not an easy thing to deal with. But he's our clown, and generally rolled with the punches well.

Then, he was placed on daily medications after missing so much school. We noticed a profound change in him. He was listless, weepy, and generally not his sunny self. We thought it was just exhaustion from the illness, but over time, he seemed to get worse. We had had no major changes in the family or friends, and were stumped as to his sudden change. Then we saw a report on CNN that the medication he was on was actually linked to a pre-teen boy's suicide. After talking with his doctor, we pulled him off of the medications, and his mood instantly improved, but his asthmatic symptoms reappeared.

It was time to get creative with our treatments...
