Before natural therapy seven-year-old Judy
missed thirty days of school due to childhood asthma. She had
difficulty breathing as well as a dry cough.
Her doctor prescribed Theo-Dur or Slo-Bid (drug trade names for
theophylline, a drug that dilates the airways and makes breathing
easier) for the asthma and a cough medicine for the cough. The
drugs upset her stomach, and her parents were frustrated and
helpless with their child's asthma.
When I examined her, I found that her fascia was very restricted.
Her cranial tissues were tight, and she had fascial strains from
her head down into her chest. Her diet was very good and not a
factor.
Help For Asthma
From Natural Therapy
I presented my evaluation to her parents explaining that I could
never promise a cure for her, but I felt strongly that natural
therapy could help their child with asthma.
Both parents wanted Judy to try natural therapy with the full
knowledge that it was a new approach that offered no guarantee
to help her asthma.
During the first treatment I was able to release the cranial
structures, and the parents saw improvement in their daughter's
condition immediately. Over the remaining six visits for natural
therapy I released the fascial strain patterns in the upper body,
which are characteristic of a child with asthma.
As Judy's body functioned better, the asthma symptoms faded.
Her parents, in conjunction with Judy's doctor, gradually dropped
the dosage of the medication and eventually stopped it altogether.
In my experience with natural therapy and children's asthma,
Judy was unusual in that she did not require muscle therapy and
myofascial release in the pelvic structures. Few children, however,
take more than ten visits for a correction of their asthma..
A Normal Life
Ten Years After Natural Therapy
In speaking to her mother 10 years after treatment, I learned
that Judy has not had an asthma attack in ten years and is
leading a normal life in high school. Her only remaining
problem is that she sometimes has to stop and catch her breath
for a moment when she participates in vigorous sports.
This child is not unusual. Since 1980 when I started treating
asthmatic children, the disease, to my knowledge, has never
returned because the underlying problem was corrected.
