Hello Deanna,

 

I'm sorry to hear about your son, when they're so little it breaks your heart. My 8 year old granddaughter suffers from the same conditions, sounds familiar. I'm no expert on this but I sure hope that I'm doing right by telling you about some new treatments that might help ease his condition and reduce the amount of medications he's taking. I've been searching for Alternative treatments for asthma, something natural and safe. One evening while watching the abc 7 news, there it was -- the answer i've been waiting for http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/health/your_health&id=7340604 I found out about the Himalayan salt inhalers, that was a start; then I read about Himalayan salt in general and finally came across an interesting article http://www.mensjournal.com/asthma and thought to myself "if this works for adults I wonder if it could help a child". Apparently and gladly it has even a bigger effect on children. If you can't afford the trip to Europe I'm sure there's something in your area, try searching for "salt rooms" or "Halotherapy". I've been taking my granddaughter for back to back sessions and she can definitely sleep better at night and breath better.

 

Hope this helps Laughing much blessings and health to your child,

Luisa Moore.
