Asthma: drugs are dangerous, useless and unnecessary

Lynne McTaggart's recent blog post suggests that conventional medicine's approach to asthma is all wrong.  Research findings have made it quite apparent that the steroids usually prescribed for asthma sufferers are likely to do more harm than good (see the Asthma Factsheet for more).  But did you know just how much evidence there is against these asthma drugs?  The WDDTY database reveals a vast range of reports showing that conventional asthma treatments are both useless and dangerous.  What's more, there are plenty of far more effective alternative treatments.  You can browse our complete database of asthma information, or sample this brief overview of our findings, spanning more than 10 years of reporting.
