How Does Mainstream Medicine Treat Asthma?
Mainstream medicine's approach to asthma is a controller and a rescue inhaler.
Wheeze, night cough, the tight-chest panic. Steroid inhaler daily. Albuterol for the bad hours. Step up if you keep filling the rescue. The airway is treated as twitchy for life.

What Does Mainstream Medicine Miss About Asthma?
Commonly missed root causes of asthma include allergens, reflux, cold air, a sinus drip, and a nervous system that clamps the chest.
Bronchospasm is the last move of an inflamed, twitchy tube. Allergens, reflux mist, cold air, a sinus drip, and a nervous system that clamps the chest can all write the same peak-flow drop. More steroid in the lung can be necessary. It is not a reason to stop asking what keeps the tube angry.
The Atma Approach looks at you as a unique person. Why are your airways this reactive?
