I spent from 1992 to 2009 on prednisone, thanks to living in a town of 2000 and a lazy primary care doc.. Yeah, I could breathe but The side effects....yuck. In June of 2009, I started electroacupuncture treatments. My Chinese Dr. also gives me herbs, the formula for asthma has been studied at Mt. Sinai and was found to be 95% effective as prednisone. I have not taken prednisone at all since January 2010 (we did a gradual taper) I have not had any wheezing since Sept 2009. My sinuses are still rather congested, but my polyps are gone.All thanks to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Oh yeah, and I lost 40 pounds after quitting prednisone. I am not cured but my quality of life is 300% better than it was. I just wish that Western docs could work in concert with TCM docs...we might just find the answer. Try it, your patients will thank you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569539021189220932noreply@blogger.com
