There is a lot that can be done to prevent asthma, and keep it under control. 99% of it has to do with indoor air quality (IAQ). First off, clean is good... dust top to bottom with something like endust, vacuum with a new bag/filter every time. Have your heating and A/C system serviced regularly, and use a good quality filter...ask you tech about MERV 8 or 9 pleated filters. If you got more dollars than sense, you can buy the ones with the 3M "Filtrete" brand name at Lowes or Home Depot. If you have carpet that is more than 5 years old, replace it or get rid of it completely. Wash all your bedding regularly. Wash throw rugs regularly. Got lots of pets?? minimize the number of pets and their dander.
Check you home thouroghly for water leaks, and mold. Most mold problems can be eliminated by the application of a 10% bleach solution, repairing any water leaks, and having a correctly sized, properly operating heating and cooling system. With a little bit of effort, you can have a healthy home, and be healthier in general.

I can attest to the fact that this works... I have a lot of customers that used to have all kinds of respratory problems, and after doing these things I suggested, they no longer have any health problems. I have a couple of commercial accounts that I put this into effect, and they have a lot of employees.... many of whom have all kinds of symptoms while in their home, but when they come to work, their symptoms go away within 15 - 20 minutes.

One last thing... if you smoke cigs, STOP IT!!!
Mississippi Steve Reviewed by Mississippi Steve on . Asthma and Marijuana I have had asthma since I was 10 and even though it hasn't prevented me from doing sports or be in the Army, I was curious as to how smoking medical marijuana help treat or relieve symptoms of asthma. From personal experience I have smoked marijuana while being short of breath, and after a few hits I could breath normally, I just want to know how marijuana effects asthma and would I qualify for medical marijuana?
