Thank you for sharing that experience.

Asthma seems to be almost as slippery as it was a couple generations ago when our family went mano a mano with it. In our case the big allergen was mold... and that was in Phoenix. I'm glad you are med and flare free! Our son estimates he will live into his 50s, and my retired nurse wife and I sadly agree. Lots of damage from prednisone but it kept him alive.

I mean that's good for you but we need some RCTs to test your belief that keto cures asthma. I'd rather have asthma than to do keto, but that's me. Fun fact, we have largely prevented many asthma related hospital admissions and most deaths with the use of inhaled corticosteroids and bronchodilators. Not so much for keto. Yay science!

Yes, It's fascinating... persons come for MEDICAL treatment.....but really need diet care.

YES! THIS IS MY STORY ALSO! people think I'm crazy when I tell them. I can remember running out of albuterol inhalers and paying people to go to the emergency room for me. Buying them from people on the street. Now like you I'm cured! And I'm also 49. 50 next month. Would love someone to create a group for people like us to talk. When I tell people I swear they say I'm lying, or that my asthma was faked all these years. I don't talk about it anymore. I feel vindicated. Thank you!

The bucket makes sense, actually, at least for me. Thanks!

He has a gift for teaching

Thank you for explaining asthma...I am a severe asthmatic and have been intubated 10+time and in ICU more times than I can remember. Most persons have no understanding of the problem ...that we can not empty our lungs. Due to repeated i tubation I also have V.C.D,vocal cord dysfunction so my attacks start in both the throat and lungs. I am seen by a renowned Pulmonologist but remain uncontrolled. Please continue to educate others

Such a great explanation. My wife's asthma crises are more understandable now. I sent my wife a link and she appreciated it. She sees her pulmonologist every three or four months.

Yes. Concluding video to be released soon

So...are smooth muscle relaxants used to help ease constriction? (Sorry if this is a silly question...)

Check for sulfites in your diet (preservatives) Check for GERD and treat it Check for post nasal drip and treat it Check with your physician to see if LABA/LAMA/ICS combination inhaler is right. Consider singular Consider xolair Consider nucala Consider bronchothermoplasty It sounds serious. Check with your physician of course.

@@Medcram Thank you. She has a pulmonologist at UC Davis. She has tried what you mentioned, and been on two clinical trials. What gets her in trouble is a respiratory infection. Since we have avoided people because of Covid, she's not been in the hospital. (Silver lining) The last time I insisted on Albuterol in the hospital, constantly. Prior to that they were doing breathing treatments every four hours, and she ended up in the ICU each time. This last time I insisted on the constant Albuterol and a BiPap, and she avoided the ICU. I will mention these things to her. She goes through 8-10 vials of Albuterol each day. And she has nebulizers in house, car, my car. I really enjoy your channel. Also, I tried to get her to go to the asthma center in Denver, but she's afraid to leave home.

I'm not a doctor, but just sharing my experience. I've had asthma since I was diagnosed at 6yrs, about 37 years now. I used to have asthma attacks a couple times a week and would go to the hospital about once a month. 22 years ago the doctors put me on advair- a long acting beta agonist or LABA. It is a combination of salmeterol and fluticasone.(I think there are a few different brands of LABA with a few different medicines.) Prescribed to take every 12 hours. Since I started taking that medicine I haven't had an asthma attack in 22 years. I also carry a rescue inhaler, albuterol. I have severe allergies and for that I take fluticasone nose spray at night and allegra (regular not allegra D) once a day in the daytime. If my allergies get really bad i might pop an extra allegra once in a while. If she has allergies, they need to be under control. Look into the LABA medicines with her doctor. (LABAs usually take a couple of weeks or so to really kick in and start to work, but its worked wonders for me.)

@@TheArgos12 Thank you. My wife developed asthma as an adult. She can't use an inhaler because she can't breathe in deeply enough anymore. She uses a nebulizer a dozen times a day, day and night. She moved into the spare room so her frequent treatments during the nighttime wouldn't wake me. When she was in the ICU two years ago they said she was the sickest patient they had. She can deal with it, as long as she does not get a respiratory infection, like a cold or the flu. We stopped going to church or seeing family except outdoors. On top of that she had a cardiac arrest in January. My CPU training saved her life.

@@scottslotterbeck3796 - I, too, have asthma which is set off by even a mild cold. I've avoided people due to Covid and have not had an attack in three years. No nebulizer treatments, no steroids, no ER visits. What a relief!

Pulmonary function testing

Need to get help before that happens. Try a peak flow meter daily so you know how you are doing before you get bad.

@@Medcram Using the peak flow meter gives my wife an asthma attack. She tracks her attacks using a pulse oximeter.

Paralytic, short I time to increase e time.

@@imgadgetmanjim they have put my wife in paralytics the ladt four times she's been intubated. Problem is, waking up paralyzed is not pleasant. My wife cried the first time it happened. Some people are partially paralyzed for life afterwards. So far, my wife has fully recovered, thank God.

@@scottslotterbeck3796 Paralytic should not be given without proper sedation. Sorry to hear that.

@@imgadgetmanjim oh, she was sedated. This was at a University of California hospital. This was about five years ago?

Intubation.

Xray = hyperexpansion hypotenison

Incorrect ventilation=dynamic Resp viral infections = astham exacerbaiton Hx: Vitals Mental status Pex: auscultate ABG Steroid oxygen nebulizers Bipap Repeat ABG

Beta receptor = musuclar relaxaiton Need to be activated Msucarinic need to be blocked Ipratropium Albuterol Resp acidosis Dt co2 acxumulation rather than change in bicarb Xray after bipap DHI dynamic hyperinflation

Around the 5 minute mark he explains the mechanism of action of the combination in Duoneb. The ipratropium opens the airway by blocking the muscarinic receptor. It does dry up the mucus, also.

@@stevepottschmidt2903 my question was really a statement, not a question per se. Ipatropium is not a good drug for asthmatics as it dries up the mucus. We need that mucus loose and thin so we can cough it up and expel it. I had a horrible week using Duoneb. Ughh. I'll stick to plain old Albuterol.

Welcome to the Severe Asthma club. Not fun!

@@prettyyoungthingpyt5015 good to know. My wife uses Albuterol 8-10 a day with a nebulizer. She agrees she needs to cough up stuff. She used Mucinex for a long time.

My wife says it's like breathing through a straw. Very scary!

@@scottslotterbeck3796 It can be yes. Once I sat on my husband's chest to help him understand. When he commented how hard it was to breathe in with my weight on his chest, I told him, That's what it feels like.

You'd be amazed what too many MDs don't understand.

Hi. Retired medical doctor here. 95% of adult asthma is allergy mediated. The problem is, the insurance industry has taken over health Care and doctors are not allowed enough time to figure out what is wrong with people. I graduated medical school around 1980. By the time I retired, 30 years later, I had to do five times as much work for an hour's pay and my pay was 60% lower than it was 17 years earlier. Doctors are overworked, nurses are overworked, you can't get lab results at night anymore, and you spend unpaid hours, literally hours, I mean like I once spent 4 hours on the phone trying to get life saving care for patient. The insurance company denied it. Another doctor was on the phone next to me and we both finally had to get off the phone from the insurance company about the same time. We just gave each other a hug and cried for about 3 or 4 minutes. The United States for profit healthcare system has made magnificent salaries for insurance company and hospital corporation ceos. Dollar bill Maguire, over the 10 years he was at United healthcare, took 10 billion in compensation. You have to deny a lot of healthcare to give that much money to one man. So is it any surprise that the United States has some of the worst healthcare outcomes in the developed world, the shortest life expectancy in the developed world?

@@Madronaxyz I'm saving your valuable text here, thank you for this. The authoritarian abuse of MD's and patients in HC appears essentially coordinated, also with Pharma, where the legal meeting of standard of care is sufficed with agents labeled for the diagnosis. Once the legal standard is met, the system can defend itself; to Hell with anything else.

@@Madronaxyz The USA has the best healthcare system in the world, but it is too bureaucratic, too expensive, and making obscene money is evil. I agree. But government-run health care is far worse. I have incurable cancer, but I'm still here after 23+ years because I researched doctors specializing in my cancer, and found a dictor who was an expert in that cancer, a published researcher, and have been on five clinical trials. Also, of course, by the grace of God. I would be dead if I lived in a country with socialized medicine. Zero question. A doctor from the UK laughed when I asked him and he said yes, I would be. They simply do not have access to the latest drugs.

Regardless of your opinion of the disease, the COVID-19 pandemic has been by far the most heavily studied pandemic in history and is immensely interesting from an epidemiological standpoint, so it's well worth studying in great detail even though the disease seems to be mutating to be less damaging.

Covid is still killing people. Stop making light of this killer. Over 5 million dead. It is not a hoax. Dr. Seheult is a God send for me! I'm a cancer survivor at high risk of death, and his video #59 (?) is a life saver!!!
