Bee Pollen?

I would try honey. Make sure that it is local honey (best place to find it is the farmer's market). It made from the pollen. I've heard it works wonders.

Asthma is usually triggered by allergies. When the wind blows different pollens and molds are blown around. Thus, why most of our children with asthma are feeling the effects of the wind this season. Bee pollen has to be in the form of honey that is locally collected. Helping build your childs amunity to that pollen. A tablespoon a day is what is recommended. It will take some time before you see an difference. I have a son that has had asthma since he was 2 and is now 16.

I look forward to seeing the responses/results you get! I buy local honey to help with my daughter's asthma. I can't isolate that it alone is responsible for her improvements, but she has improved significantly as I have made lifestyle, environmental and food changes!

One of the most exciting things I found is a de-chlorinator for both the shower and bath! I don't remember the brand off the top of my head, but I remember it being recommended by Jordan Rubin in The Makers Diet, and it is available locally at Whole Foods (I specifically purchased mine at the Preston-Forest location in Dallas, TX). I knew that I personally had always had an allergic reaction to "water" but have been amazed at the improvements I have seen in my family's skin AND breathing. (Do you know that chlorine gas was used as a chemical weapon in WWI? I didn't! I had been closing my daughter and I up in the bathroom with the shower "steaming" up the room when she was little to help with the croup-y cough, not realizing that I could be making things worse for her!)

Good luck to you! If you'd like any more information about the things I have done for my daughter to help her live with fewer asthma-related problems, I'm happy to share.

K.,

Bee Pollen might help, but it is better to research the underlying cause or trigger of the asthma symptoms.

Diet is usually involved. I suggest you look into food intolerance testing. Consultation with physicians is not necessary, or even beneficial in this regard. Unfortunately physicians don't know much about food.

You can test her yourself through www.Enterolab.com. This is a fabulous lab that does stool testing, a better way to diagnose underlying problems. They happen to be in Plano, TX. Be wary of anyone offering a skin scratch or blood test. These are inferior methods of testing when there are underlying autoimmune disease processes going on. Asthma is an autoimmune disease. Again, physicians are not aware very educated about this.

Order test kit, send in specimen, they email you the results. No doctor refferal needed. Easy Easy Easy!

Good luck!

Hello K.,

I'm not quite sure about the Bee pollen but I do have something else to offer. I am a stay at home who also works from home. My daughter is 2 years old as well. I'm sorry to hear that your daughter was diagnosed with asthma. My sister has asthma & so I know first hand what it's like. I have converted my home to 'Green'. In other words I have rid of all the toxins that we use such as our cleaning supplies and the list goes on. You might want to do the same as you will want an environmentally safe home for you & your family. Please visit my website to request more information!

Thanks for your time!

go to a good health food store and get the royal jelly, probiotics, olive leaf and ask one of the associates about them. The people at the health food stores are VERY knowledgeable in alternative choices.
