Book Reviews of Taking Charge of Asthma: A Lifetime Strategy

Book Review: A "Must-Own" for Anyone with Asthma!!
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is an easy-to-follow discussion of what asthma is(in layman's terms, NOT all medical jargon)and how to successfully handle it. Topics discussed are such as: finding the "triggers" to your asthma problem (i.e. food allergies, environmental allergies...), making the most of the least medications, holistic treatments that might help, how parents can help their children...and the list goes on. Of all the books I have looked at on this subject, this one seems to "cover all the bases" without being too bogged down. A quick, easy reference.

Summary of Taking Charge of Asthma: A Lifetime Strategy

Asthma touches all ages, races, and walks of life, and it is on the rise both in frequency and in severity. Taking Charge of Asthma provides practical, up-to-date information to help you develop an effective personal strategy for managing your symptoms.

World-renowned asthma expert Dr. Betty Wray outlines specific steps you can take to control your environment and reduce the onset and severity of attacks. She lists clinically tested foods, fabrics, and substances that can trigger asthma. Dr. Wray also explains the connection between asthma and allergies, details occupational hazards, lists alternative strategies, and tells how to work with your doctor-and how to make the most with the least medication. She also offers authoritative advice on helping children with asthma lead healthier, happier lives. This fact-packed handbook includes 800 numbers, helplines, Web sites, asthma organizations, and treatment centers. Taking Charge of Asthma includes everything you need to know about:

  • The causes of asthma
  • The best diagnostic methods
  • The latest treatments
