I had asthma and allergies for 40+ years. Sometimes extremely chronic and caused bad insomnia at night. I knew dust affected me. Was hospitalized with bronch. pneumonia as a child. Eventually my primary care doc gave my Advair, Qvar, Albuterol etc.... Went to allergist and pomologist and did sleep study. The allergist told me I was allergic to dust mites. This helped me to some degree as I was able to mitigate the affect somewhat (mattress cover, Hepa Vacuum, Air purifier). I told the allergist that I thought certain foods contribute to my asthma (loved and ate a lot of "healthy cereals" such as granola, raisin brand, wheat brand, organic cereal). The allergist insisted that foods to not contribute to asthma and wanted to put me on prilosec. Luckily I knew better. Do not get stuck on an acid blocker long term.
My sleep and asthma got worse and worse. The absolute game saver for me which probably saved my life was buying The Paleo Cure book by Chris Kresser, a functional doctor. I did an elimination diet (as described in the book) and cut out all processed foods, all grains, pasta, sugar etc.... Slowly re-introduced some foods. Fortunately, I always like healthy real foods, but I was just never fully educated about the bad foods. Eat only real foods that God put on earth, no food-like substances. God did not create a Dorito/Pringles Tree... Slowly and slowly I got better and within a year was off asthma meds. Changing my diet, adding probiotics and trying to control indoor toxins solved my asthma after 40+ years of suffering. I still carry an inhaler (as a binky), but use it less than 5 times a year (mostly preventatively if I am sick).
I truly hope others can be helped by my experience as I wish I knew 40 + years ago what I know now. You can solve the problem by finding the root cause. Wishing you the best.💜
Most people don’t know about the gut/nutrition - lung/asthma connection! Thanks for helping to spread the word!
I've been diagnosed this year with asthma, and after finding your video I'm looking at going to a plant-based diet. Thank you
@Seeking Truth I’m about 2 weeks in and I’m seeing an improvement. I still take antihistamine as I do get tightness - when I take it the tightness goes. That’s evidence my asthma is allergic based. I’ve also been plant based for a few weeks and have been able to do 1 hour of exercise daily in 3 parts (20 min. Rest . 20 min. Rest. 20 min). That’s a massive improvement as since my asthma it was only 10-20 min a day - and pre asthma I was exercising 2 hours a day (without resting). So getting to 1 hour with rests is amazing from the reduced 10-20 min. At the moment the diet is going well for me, I think. It can’t be a coincidence. Too much evidence in the facts. How do you manage your B12/Iron? I have deficiencies in these since this year too so I’d love to hear your take on how you personally handle these.
@Seeking Truth Thank you for your reply and the link, I'll have a look. I've actually always been a relatively clean eater to the most extent. I find though that since giving up dairy and meat I am feeling better. I used to be vegetarian for many years, before switching over for about 18 months to a more general diet. Still not very bad but worse than I was previously. I had a lot of changes and bad things happen in my life, and a lot of the foods served where I was (hospital for example) were not the types of food I'd normally have at home. So getting into a few more breads, processed foods, dairy, meats - things I didn't normally eat. Since stopping these I have seen an increase in how I feel.
@@-goldenrose-2169 How is your Asthma now?
Are you still doing it?
I start 2024 with plant based....i have asthma to.
I dont drink, smoke and sport a lot.
Now i wanna change my food in pure plant based fruits and vegetables
The asthma improved a lot for me with hypnotherapy. I was instantly able to get off of the steroid inhaler but now I’m inspired to do more with my diet to totally eliminate my need for any medication.
Hi Karen, would you mind to tell me what kind of hypnotherapy do you use? Was that self hypnosis?
It's a yesr later. Did you try it?
Well, this footage inspired me a lot now, I'll be setting up a completely plant based food plan.
Thanks for sharing your story mate, you've beaten mother nature! and for that kudos to you ( and to this channel)
Don't forget to base it on starch! and good luck!
@@efthimios1917 will do! thanks. Good omens with you as well...
Hello, any updates of your current state right now? Is this all plant based diet really works?
@@Frensminly hi, tbh ithas helped a lot! I can now even run and do excercise. which I couldn't do before.
I sleep much better and have no Sinusitis.
but I have to say, it didn't solve my ashtma. I still get the symptoms, especially if air-humdity is high. But I am way lighter and better in terms of breathing.
Also worth of mention: the times when I go raw vegan I feel no asthma whatsoever. don't even use the damn inhaler. but it's not maintainable for me.
My recommendation : know your allergens, and avoid them too, besides going vegan. ( I can't avoid all my food allergies unfortunately)
Thanks for sharing, gives hope !!! Would be interesting to know how you're doing no after 3 years.
Hi Adam. Thanks for sharing. I keep a health diary. The thing about most asthmatics is our pet allergies. So consuming animals 💯 percent causes the problem. I am Asthma free when I stay off dairy and eat a plant based diet.
I would love to liaise with all Asthmatic and encourage them to keep a Health Diary to see how change of diet can cure their allergies. We are getting a puppy in two weeks time. This is going to be a challenge as I am super allergic to dogs. I hope the Plant Based diet protects me. I will keep posting updates. Hope we can work together to help others. czcams.com/video/PDu_Wwv5GXk/video.html
I’m stumbling onto this video after starting a vegan diet. I noticed I don’t need my asthma medicine now. I would panic without it and now it seems I don’t need it. At least not 99% of the time. Also my GERD seems to be gone
wow this was my whole life . i really want to change my life right now :/
Thank you for this! I'm a moderate persistent asthma sufferer who has just discovered the benefits of a vegan diet & having someone like me (to a t!) Just gave me so much confirmation
I had the same thing happened to me no more asthma because I ate a whole food plant based diet.
Good for you. I too changed my diet. And I don't want to get sick from the Covid Vaccine as I did with the Flu vaccine. Would you share my video to find out how many people got sick from the Flu Vaccine. If we can prove people get sick from vaccines. Then we will not be forced to have the Covid Vaccine. czcams.com/video/PhN37zub8Os/video.html
Tanks man! This was very helpful, I'm having exactly the same symptoms that you had :)
great for natural healing of our body.
My immune system is very weak but I been taking water garlic and during the Fall and Winter I can get really sick and thanks for sharing my friend God Bless You I’ll try greens for asthma
try Buteyko method
I will try
No no no, this was the biggest mistake I ended up with many issues caused by all the oxalates in the veg I was eating. I am healing now since introducing grass fed organic red meats and organ meats, fish and eggs.
Vegetables ripped my stomach up and I could not understand why my health was deteriorating so quickly as I was eating so ' healthily'. We are all biologically so different that there is no 'one size fits all ' when it comes to nutrition
Correct,well balanced whole food plan based nutrition is optimal for humans as well as preventative and reversing diseases
Does anyone have any idea what foods to avoid for asthma / or help with exercise induced asthma??
I want to say a very big thank you to Doctor Alued on CZcams for helping me get Rid of my Asthma after suffering for 3 years
You can also slow boil pork or chicken in a soup, like Chinese style. Slow boiled meat will also not trigger asthma. So you can make Chinese style soup with pork or chicken. Boil for at least 40 minutes low heat. Then you can eat it. No asthma symptom. Guaranteed.
Ive been on plant based diet for years. I still have same asthma, allergied, and immune system issues. Nothing changed for me unfortunatly.
Maybe you eat things that you are allergic to. Check up which food allergies u have and if u eliminate it , you might feel better
try yoga or qigong, look u youtube videos for it
Smoking weed is the only cure for asthma, aldus peter tosh
Got a permanent cure from type 1 diabetes after using dr udoka herbal remedy since October 5th 2020.he also cures other diseases or ailment
I am allergic to plant based food... it causes me difficuty breathing..
Really ?
pingajay1 yeah.. i am allergic to banana n mangoes n many veges n fruits (cause of the latex properties in it). CZcams has a few videos regarding this..
@@nimsayaniaable thanks
nimsayaniaable you could also be allergic to the pesticides they use , or the gmos. Have you tried homegrown seeded fruits ? Like blackseed watermelon
Derion Coker yeah have tried it same prob
Sorry to say, but you look unhealthy, pale and you sound
tired. For me, eating fruits and vegetables worsened my symptoms a lot. So now I eat fresh meat, eggs and some yoghurt and doing well. Plants contain good stuff, but also toxins that damage the intestines.
Fenna Brunink Lets see how you look, he looks fine to me. A whole food plant based diet is known to cure chronic illnesses, allergies, etc. It seems like your making an excuse to continue to eat flesh, SMH!
@@NewbirthHannah05 I love flesh. In my religion Islam we kill the meat in the most brutal way possible. Allah be praised
@@DirtyMcDaniel with that pic and what you said of course you do
@@Reinguko I'm just messing around. I'm no Muslim.
@@DirtyMcDaniel Lol!
That method actually clears out the blood from all it's method, and make the meat high quality.
Air purifier help a lot
