I was diagnosed with asthma after 34 years of a very athletic lif...

I have discovered that many if not most late-term diagnosis of asthma is actually caused by a persistant lung infection by up to two unusual bacteria, namely Chlamydia Pneumonia (CPa) or Mycoplasma Pneumonia. Mine started with a bad case of Bronchitis (lasted a month) and within a few months I had full-blown asthma. My doctor was clueless, but I noticed real improvement in breathing when prescribed antibiotics for other reasons. Some research on the many studies about this enlightened me. I tried long-term antibiotics (on my own) and had dramatic results. My asthma would go away for weeks at a time without asthma medicines! After telling my asthma doctor, he just scoffed and prescribed more bad medicine. However, my regular doctor has encouraged me to treat myself as the insurance companies certainly will not OK it. After my three months of daily antibiotics I quit and my symptoms have very slowly returned (still better than I was though). I've since learned that these bacteria are very slow growing and will build immunity to the one antibiotic, unless the antibiotic type is changed in a revolving schedule. I told my asthma doctor about these results, but he still won't open his eyes. I've just thrown my Advair away since t is ruining the quality of my life. Trying to save some extra money to buy my own meds to try again based on the updated info. Go to cpnhelp.org for more info. Note that these two bacteria are thought to maybe cause a wide range of serious diseases depending on where in the body the infection takes hold. It is possible to beat these with healthy living IF the infection has not become too wide-spread. Good luck!
