definitely taking control!!, 2000-08-05
This is a book that I couldn't put down once I got started. Everything an asthmatic should know is included in this book, from nutrition, exercise, stress, inhalers, types of medication available,including breathing techniques, choosing the right doctor and there is a section dealing with children and asthma. The writing style is great as the author is actually speaking to the reader. Having grown up with asthma, I encourage families with asthmatic patients to get a copy of this book. It really is a must have for all asthmatics.
