Asthma

My younger brother has severe asthma and was on a nebulizer (sp?) getting 5-6 treatments a day. Within 4 months he was weaned completely off of it. He also used to be in the hospital like clockwork every year in October from a severe attack. We almost lost him a few times. He has not had one attack of that kind since he started on OPC, Multi Vitamin and Isochrome almost 4 years ago. Isochrome he takes for reasons other than asthma as he diabetes too.And the chilling part is about a year ago, Colin had a bad episode and my mom couldn’t find any of his medication – that being her first reaction – she decided to give the OPC a try and within minutes his breathing was underway and he was OK. No trip to the emergency room.He had been consistently taking OPC-3 – 2 caps every morning and one at night but in the middle of the day on some days if pollen is high or whatever, he can feel congested. She started him recently on the Aloe too to drink in the midday.He is doing great and is med- free and has lost 60+ pounds too!!
