    Serotonin (5-HT) is a key driver of asthma

    Yet another blow to the status of the so-called "happiness hormone". While histamine, acetylcholine, and estrogen have long been known as key drivers of asthma the link between the mast cells and the nervous system's production of the vasoconstrictor acetylcholine has remained unknown. The study...

    Asthma Can Be Caused By Endotoxin (LPS). From Air Filters

    Not a clickbait title but the actual (and fascinating) findings of several studies. I think the biggest find here is that endotoxin (LPS) can directly cause asthma and exacerbate already existing asthma. To my knowledge, while mainstream medicine does admit that asthma is an inflammatory...

    Asthma Is Driven By Endotoxin And Its Receptors (TLR4, TLR5)

    Yet another study demonstrating the crucial role of the endotoxin/LPS (and its sentinel receptors) in a chronic idiopathic condition - in this case asthma. The cause of asthma is, as usual, officially claimed to be unknown but it is known that asthma can be exacerbated by environmental pollution...

    Estrogen Causes Asthma; Progesterone, T, DHT, And DHEA Are Protective

    Most of the forum members probably know that the incidence of "autoimmune" conditions is much higher in women then in men. This fact gets consistently ignored by doctors working in the field as a mere fluke, or due to "unknown hormonal interactions" which are nonetheless deemed not causative of...

    Vitamin E May Prevent/treat Asthma

    I think this study is very important simply because currently there are no truly safe treatments for asthma AND the study was conducted on humans. As many forum users have seen on TV ads, virtually all drugs for asthma control increase the risk of death related to asthma. In some cases the onset...

    Calcium "receptor" Antagonists May Be The Cure For Asthma

    I was a little disappointed that the study did not look into the link between serotonin and asthma, but recognizing the destructive mechanism of calcium excitotoxicity is still a step in the right direction. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/ ... rough.html "... Asthma could be cured...

    High Percentage Of Endurance Athletes Have Asthma

    In confirmation of Ray's stance against "aerobic" (endurance) exercise, this study showed that a very high percentage of top swimmers have confirmed asthma. The article also goes on to say that the asthma effects is seen on other endurance sports, further confirming Ray's views. What's stunning...

    Autistic Children Have Increased Incidence Of Asthma

    Another study implicating serotonin in the development of autism. The causative role of serotonin in asthma is well known and is one of the reasons why drugs like tianeptine are so effective for asthma. The fact that asthma and autism are more likely to co-occur makes the serotonin-autism...

    Caffeine may help with asthma

    The effect is modest, but it supports the model of SSRE drugs like tianeptine as effective for asthma and the causative link between serotonin ans asthma. Ray has written that caffeine increases the uptake of serotonin similar to SSRE drugs. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10796597...

    Caffeine Decreases Exhaled Nitric Oxide

    The levels of NO in the breath are useful in predicting asthma attacks as well as GI issues. If caffeine is helpful in lowering breath NO it suggests it may be helpful in both asthma and GI conditions. Human dosage was 200mg. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11923558 "...Caffeine causes a...

    Vitamin B6 Is Anti-histamine And Potential Asthma Treatment

    The study was with pyridoxine hydrochloride (the cheap version of B6 available everywhere), and the dosage for children was 200mg. The authors also state that niacinamide has similar/same effects. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/94242
