Asthma Relief – Asthma And Allergies Can Be Caused By A Low Immune System

Many people who suffer from asthma and allergies don’t realize it, but a low immune system is very likely at the root of their allergies and asthma. Medical experts agree that a lowered or improperly functioning immune system can and does result in several diseases such as asthma, allergies, arthritis, psoriasis, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome and cancer to name just a few. There are ways to strengthen your immune system, which will help to give you some asthma relief or significantly decrease your allergy and asthma symptoms and asthma attacks.

If you suffer from a low immune system it is important to avoid things that suppress or act to destroy it, such as a high cholesterol diet, heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium), fat, alcohol, fried foods, food additives, obesity, industrial pollutants, pesticides, herbicides, stress, prescription drugs including antibiotics, asthma and allergy drugs, too much sunlight, tobacco and radiation.
