Even though a particularly effective natural asthma relief treatment has been studied and documented for the past 40 years in internationally respected medical journals, your doctor is probably completely unaware of it because he is very busy and doesn't have the time to do the research. However, many traditional doctors are also influenced heavily by drug companies and believe that drugs are the only acceptable routes to take in treating asthma, despite their risk of serious side effects.One of the main reasons for this is the funding sources for medical schools are mostly large multi national drug companies. They spend billions of dollars a year to develop and promote their drugs for cancer, asthma and many other diseases. Their agenda is to ensure that new doctors are aware of the drugs they have developed and to prescribe them to their patients. They have no interest or profit in natural remedies. If you take the time to thoroughly investigate the source of negative press about natural treatments, you will find that the writer can often be traced indirectly to a drug company. The bottom line is money: they have invested many billions of dollars in drug research, patents and development and they need to keep selling these drugs to you to stay in business. If you are currently using asthma drugs you know that they are expensive, not very effective because they only mask your asthma symptoms and have many negative side effects, some of which are quite dangerous. There is an effective natural asthma relief treatment that has been researched and documented worldwide in respected medical journals and publications for the past 40 years. So, why don't the drug companies make a natural asthma treatment medicine if it works so well? Renowned cancer expert Dr. Ralph Moss' editorial in the New York Times April 1, 2007 explains the reality of cancer drug development in this excerpt:
"We could make faster progress against cancer by changing the way drugs are developed. In the current system, if a promising compound can't be patented, it is highly unlikely ever to make it to market - no matter how well it performs in the laboratory. The development of new cancer drugs is crippled as a result. The reason for this problem is that bringing a new drug to market is extremely expensive. In 2001, the estimated cost was $802 million; today it is approximately $1 billion. To ensure a healthy return on such staggering investments, drug companies seek to formulate new drugs in a way that guarantees watertight patents. In the meantime, cancer patients miss out on treatments that may be highly effective and less expensive to boot."The same holds true for any natural asthma relief remedy which uses ingredients that are already available at health food and vitamin stores. These supplements or their ingredients can't be patented, controlled or owned by any drug company. Taking responsibility for your own health is the first major step and the fact that you are reading this indicates that you may be interested in investigating natural asthma relief solutions for your asthma and allergy symptoms.
