Help for Asthmatics
Have you ever wondered why diseases like asthma have grown to epidemic proportions, in spite of the millions of dollars spent on research, to find a cause or a cure? Is there vested interest keeping asthmatics dependent on medication, which at best relieves symptoms only? If there was something better, even a cure, that didn’t involve drugs, and the treatment proved that it worked for even the most hopeless cases, would it be researched and funded?
For the last 60 years some asthma sufferers, in particular those of the Illawarra, have had the good fortune to have been alleviated of this life threatening condition through the legacy left behind, by a brilliant Russian doctor. Dr. Alexander James M.D., who migrated to Australia (Thirroul) in 1940, believed that there is a fundamental cause for asthma. Using his treatment, it was possible to’ reverse’ asthma.
He discovered that asthma was not a disease but a condition of the lungs. Where the lungs were deprived of sufficient room within the ribcage for normal respiration to take place. He believed that; “Bronchitis was a dominant feature – there was no asthma without bronchitis, and no bronchitis without defective breathing through the mouth”. A simple theory, not quantum physics. It isn’t hereditary, allergenic or just a food allergy.
Dr. James steadfastly stood by his claim that harmful consequences of palliative drug therapy used to treat asthma, were merely aggravating the complaint. Temporary relief by drugs achieved results at a very high price. The structure of the bronchi and lung tissue, would eventually fail to respond. Even to these so-called wonder drugs. Dr. James believed that there needed to be a more realistic attitude to the treatment of asthmatics, and he knew how to achieve this.
He developed his own method of breathing exercises, and a special vibratory technique, in 1920. After only the first treatment, people could free themselves from the dependency of drugs to relieve their symptoms. It is easy to learn how to overcome your asthma, you only have to receive the treatment and follow his instructions. Within a couple weeks you will be ‘cured’ of asthma.
Some people believed his timing wasn’t right to have his method and theory accepted. Reasoning that if he were alive today things would be different. But the 1920’s was an evolutionary period of thinking around the world. Where physical methods, like Osteopathy were mainstream, vibratory techniques (mechanical vibratory massage) were accepted and being taught in Physiotherapy departments of hospitals.
However, the development and testing of drugs was increasing. In the USA, the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations developed national standards for medical schools that were seeking their “philanthropic support”. Universities had to be linked to clinical departments, laboratories and university hospitals.
The infrastructure for education, funding, research and the organization of medicine that persists today was created in a few short years. Ever wondered how simple folk medicine, which had been around for centuries, was just tossed out the window so rapidly? An industry concerned with disease is not about to abolish itself by curing the diseased. Nothing could be truer today!
As time went by, more and more diseases, including asthma, were acceptingly treated with drugs. Even drugs that failed were later revamped. This is why after all these years; effective inexpensive non-pharmaceutical remedies and methods like Dr. James’ have been systematically suppressed. It just isn’t good business. Australia’ greatest example of this power base was the Pan-pharmaceutical debacle. It was a medicine-based drug that caused the problem, yet it was all natural based remedies that were taken off the shelf.
Recently, it was reported that antibiotics might be responsible for the increasing incidence of asthma (BBC News report dated 14 March 2006 ‘Baby antibiotics link to asthma’). Overuse of prescription drugs, their side effects, incorrect diagnoses and mismanagement of diseases doesn’t usually make the news. But nevertheless, they are statistically high and shouldn’t be discounted or negated.
To this day, the conventional asthma management still ignores Dr. James’ findings. He spent many years lobbing to the medical establishment and politicians to have his methods assessed. Sadly, after almost 30 years of his life in Australia curing thousands of asthma patients, he was denied the opportunity to teach his Method and to establish an asthma clinic dedicated to his technique. So that asthma sufferers could be given the choice of his drug free asthma treatment in the mainstream medical system.
Asthma continues to increase in Australia, with 2.2 million asthma sufferers in this country alone.
