  A book which reveals startling facts about asthma resulting from the author's studies of its onset, its history and the various methods of treatment. He offers his own advice on treatment and gives answers to the following hotly-debated questions about this steadily-increasing affliction: why did nobody ever die of asthma before 1960? Why has the number of asthma cases exploded since 1960 in the old Soviet Union, USA, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand where antibiotics were freely available, whilst in Africa and South America, countries which could not afford antibiotics, the asthma numbers have remained static? Why has the number of deaths from asthma in the antibiotic countries shown a steady rise during the last three decades? As well as the private pain of asthma, there is the statistical tragedy of an ever-increasing number of deaths, now over 2000 per year. The author of this book states that at least 50 percent of sufferers can be greatly helped to become free of the constant use of drugs and the ever-present fear of death. In order to achieve this goal he maintains that it is essential that doctors and patients fully understand the basic nature of the disease, how and why it starts, how it progresses, and what factors determine its severity. He fully explains these points here, showing how asthma sufferers can help themselves.
