How I Overcame Asthma
-
@Shar_to_the_dae thank you!

I am currently giving this a rigorous test right now. I've had asthma since my early childhood and have been on a steroid inhaler for a good number of years. (I got rid of my asthma one time before doing intermittent fasting and a strict keto diet. This unleashed it's own set of problems of which I am recovering from). I am taking PC and boswellic acid and I definitely noticed a different I am going on 4 days without my steroid use and I am quite stable. I will say this though I've also been eating some more inflammatory foods as these past 2 days and noticed an "asthmatic flare" but it was completely manageable and should I say very minimal, after a night's rest it was gone. For me 2,700 mcg of PC and 2,000 mcg of boswellia extract seems to be working wonders i am still having some slightly acute asthma but I suspect a bit more clean eating and perhaps supplementing a LOX inhibitor will help.
450 MCG of PC - what works for me right now is 3 pills in the morning and 3 at night
2000 MCG of Boswellia extract - I take one pill in the morning and night
I will post some more additions and changes if anyone would like more info.

@Lob also sorry for any grammar mistakes I am on my phone writing this during work.
-
@Lob good to hear! My go to herbs for PLA2 and LOX inhibitor are boswellia, Pycnogenol and Gingko biloba
-
@Sophocles I'll be giving all three of those together a try soon. I'll also post a two week update where I take everything you recommended so that I may be a good anecdotal case to other asthmatics.

@Lob thanks and good luck!
When allergy season starts in the spring the increase in histamine may lead to worsened breathing. So at that point some anti histamine approaches (like theanine) may be a useful addition.

@Lob it's been over two weeks now and this is what I've found works for me. In the morning I take 2000mg of boswella extract (this one is the main one that works for me), 125mg of ginko biloba extract, and 100mg of rench artine bark extract. I repeat this process in the evening after dinner and it seems to give me 24 hours coverage but that can vary a bit depending on what I eat. As for the Phophatidyl choline(PC) I've had to cut that out. I have a very low PUFA diet and have a constant PUFA intake was really messing me up and I think actually giving me asthmatic flares. I cannot get a good read in how much PC really helps me since finding a saturated fat version of PC is basically impossible, I may reincorporate it in the future but what I have right now works. What really really seems to be doing the heavy lifting for me is the LOX inhibitor Boswellia extract I may or may not incorporate another LOX inhibitor in the future. Also eating shit food I noticed fucked up me a little but taking just a little more Boswellia extract around when I had the food cancelled the asthmatic effects. All in all the wheezing is no more.

I confess I didn’t yet read the Substack. But I recovered from life threatening lifetime asthma through using Buteyko method. I became a coach and helped thousands of people over the years. It is quite easy really. But it does require a bit of work and I never found any solution in pills, or herbs, or food.

@Ecstatic_Hamster thanks for sharing! Personally, increasing the consumption of phosphatidylcholine was the thing that got rid of my asthma.
-
@Sophocles you are fortunate then!
