Asthma and Stress

My life was severely affected by asthma and allergies. For a long time I suffered needlessly, not fully understanding the underlying causes of my condition. Later, I spent years learning everything that I could about natural treatments for asthma. What I found was both exhilarating and frustrating, because I knew how many people were suffering as well. I also learned painful lessons about the side-effects of medications. I put that information into my first book Reversing Asthma (now in its 13th printing). But for those who have never experienced an asthmatic attack, it can be terrifying. Read more at TONIC.com

Dietary Supplement

This synergistic formula, developed by a physician and a pharmacist, provides an excellent broad spectrum of antioxidants, both well known and cutting-edge, for combatting the harmful effects of free radical damage.

  • N-acetyl cysteine, NAC, is an amino acid that protects us in many ways. It is particularly helpful in protecting the lungs from the free radical damage and inflammation caused by pollution in the air. It is also a primary building block for glutathione. NAC can play a role in preventing and helping to ameliorate conditons such as cancer, heart attacks, muscle fatigue, bacterial infection, viral infection, aging, bronchitis, COPD and AIDS.
  • L-glutathione is the preeminent antioxidant in the body. It is thought to strengthen the immune system, protect cells against heavy metals and free radicals, and aid in general cell metabolism. NAC and glutathione work together.
  • Bilberry extract is particulary known for its protective effect on the eyes.
  • Coenzme Q10 is found in every cell in the body, and plays a unique role in each cell's energy metabolism and ability to fend off disease. It is used in treatment programs for cardiovascular disease,diabetes, breast cancer, hypertension, physical performance, COPD, periodontal disease and the prevention of the oxidation of cholesterol.
  • Ginkgo biloba has two primary properties: it is a potent anti-inflammatory herb and a platelet inhibitor. It also contains flavonoids, which are healing compounds found in many different plants, but not produced by the human body. Ginkgo is also known for its ability to improve circulation, and for its potent free radical quenching properties which help repair damage done by illness or toxins.
  • Pycnogenol is a patented blend of bioflavonoids derived from pine bark. Bioflavonoids work synergistically with vitamin C, strengthening the walls of capillaries, helping to reduce allergies and inflammation, working to maintain healthy skin, and protecting against cancer.
  • Antioxidants such as Vitamin C, beta carotene and zinc help recovery from acute infections by detoxifying harmful compounds generated by our immune response and microbes.
