Asthma Drugs Kill More than Asthma, FDA Ignores Risk
Following a long line of reports finding pharmaceutical drugs to be deadlier than traffic accidents and many illegal drugs, it has now come out that many asthma drugs are actually killing more patients than asthma itself. It may be hard for you to believe, but many popular asthma drugs like Symbicort, Advair Diskus, Serevent Diskus, Dulera and Foradil actually warn customers on their labels that they cause an increased “risk of death from asthma problems.”
Killing around 4,000 per year conservatively, the asthma drugs are killing more people than the disease itself. It may sound outlandish, but so is the fact that the FDA has known this information for years. Of course the FDA has failed to pull the drugs from the market while doctors are calling for a complete ban of the pharmaceuticals.
Instead of listening to the warnings of many doctors and recalling or even just ending the production of these products, the FDA has simply forced the makers to include heightened warning labels on the drugs while holding several hearings over the possibility of a ban yet following through with nothing.
For an organization that is supposed to protect your health, the FDA seems to be allowing deadly pharmaceuticals to run rampant.
Beyond Asthma Drugs – The Insane History of Pharmaceutical Death Statistics
The history of pharmaceutical-induced fatalities is quite extensive, and truly tragic. Most shocking is the fact that legal drugs like painkillers have actually killed more individuals than illegal drugs like cocaine and heroin combined.
With 3 million deaths from pharmaceuticals and 0 from vitamins over the past 27 years, it is clear that the media campaign intended to demonize high quality organic-based multivitamins and supplements is absolutely ludicrous. Instead, the media should be focused on the needless deaths of many individuals taking deadly legal drugs who unknowingly trust the well-intended advice of their doctor.
Natural Solutions
Looking for how to prevent asthma? As with nearly all other health ailments, you can use natural solutions for treatment and prevention instead of turning to questionable asthma drugs. things like soda, air pollution, and air fresheners all have been pinpointed for causing asthma rates to grow among the population. Chemicals known as phthalates, which is commonly found in plastics worldwide, has also been linked to asthma and allergies.
If you’re wondering how to prevent asthma with dietary changes, here are some tips. One study published in the American Journal of Respiratory Critical Care Medicine showed that apples consumption twice a week can reduce asthma risk by about a 1/3. Another study showed that children with mothers who ate apples during pregnancy were less prone to asthma for their first five years after being born.
In addition to apples, you may want to try am herb called khella. Khella has been used to treat many conditions for many, many years. Commonly known to be a solution for kidney stones, this herb also treats asthma by soothing muscle spasms of the bronchial airways.

Love it Thank You for posting!
I almost died from an asthma attack; I was blue. My lungs had shut down,and my heart was not far behind. Yes, I believe in eating right, but I doubt if fruits and vegetables would have saved my life that night.
Perhaps not fruits and veggies. But maybe flowers. I twice witnessed someone having a severe asthma attack when he was without his regular medication. We knew of a tea that is a primo remedy for bronchitis in Japan, notably for children. It's honeysuckle flowers and forsythia flowers combined. Within 2 sips of that tea, his bronchial tubes were opened and he was breathing normally.
I feel Scented candles are worse than pollen and chemical sprays of any kind.
The story may be right but I have to tell you that the choice isn't between a herbal remedy or a drug with side effects for those of us with asthma, our choice is between being able to breathe freely enough to live and death. I know these steroid based anti-inflamatories have a severe consequence but I choose them because I am choosing the quality of my life. When you can't catch your breath there is not much quality of life, believe me. We do not need some do gooders sticking their big noses into statistics and getting between the decisions I make with my Doctor. You have no business here. My body my choice!
and it is their choice to offer alternatives on this site…..not seing where the site administrators here are coming to your house to force feed you superfoods or anything….some people wake up, find they are being lied to and tricked, and take it out, angrily, on the messanger….
While that may sound true, actually you have a responsibility, and an accountability, to our maker, weather or not you believe in Him or not, and that means to the body He gave you, and what you do to it , how you take care and steward it. He gave you natural means to do that, not some man made, developed, drugs that do more harm than good. Now that you've heard, you'll also be required to account for your response. Have a good day!
I have asthma and before the government decided to take it off the market, I used ephedra (ma huang)
Ephedra is back on the market.
Can this site do more in-depth in bronchitis? I get it now at least 2 a yr and I am down 60 lbs, eat much better and work out, plus I use a CPAP with distilled water and clean it out good at least 1x a week. When stuffed up or feel sxs coming on, up the heat w/CPAP……have been, last 2 weeks, verging on bronchitis and every time I do cardio, more issues w/breathing then normal or feel crappy later…….ther is little here or at Natural News to address this issue, I drink loads of hit tea and wind up still going ot my MD and having to take antibiotic. which in turn causes stomach issues, which I then have to up my probiotic from once every other day to every day for awhile………
again, I am doing everything right, occ with cheating, but largely, right…..plus, I had nasal surgery to unblock my nose (90-95% blockage B passages). Add in weight loss,etc-explain, then, why I still get bronchitis 2-3x a yr? I keep a clean house, eat right,etc….I live in a house that is going to be 70 this yr, some much of it, not fabricated crap they use now…..asbestos professionally removed a few yrs ago…..still, at last house I was in, moved 5/2010, got same health issues…….soo?
Suggestion: Have you tried bringing warm water to the bridge of your nose with a really warm wash cloth and hold it there and repeat, Then hold one side of your nose and blow and repeat with other side. (Near toilet would be nice) It may help I do this myself and seems to help- no drugs were needed. Please let me know if it helps…
I have asthma and was just diagnosed with acid reflux. I had no heartburn so it was hard to diagnose. My symptoms are coughing and choking. I was prescribed a PPI and decided to check out some natural cures. Now I think I need to also find some natural cures for my asthma as well. Will trying the apple cider vinegar cause more or different problems?
From my understanding is that Asthma can be developed by the lack of exposure to bacteria at a younger age which doesn’t allow your immune system to become strong enough.
