So, Josh recently published a guest post on PulmCrit discussing some interesting ideas on the treatment of asthma. This post nearly gave me a stroke. Luckily I had some tPA sitting in my medicine cabinet and just took some empirically, b/c as the stroke neuro folks that respond to Swami's posts tell me, “It can't hurt.”
As soon as I read Josh's post, I knew we must discuss this on the podcast to flesh out some of the issues raised.
You should read the post first:

I am so Happy to be writing this article in here, i am here to explore blogs forum about the wonderful and most safe cure for ASTHMA SIMPLEX VIRUS . I was positive to the deadly Virus called ASTHMA and i lost hope completely because i was rejected even by my closet friends. i searched online to know and inquire about cure for ASTHMA and i saw DR OMOS testimony online on how he was cured so many persons from ASTHMA Disease so i decided to contact the great herbalist because i know that nature has the power to… Read more »
I enjoyed this discussion & just have to say you’re both right although it’s not that simple.! Scott, your opinion on the “semi-crashing” asthmatic is only somewhat correct.
