Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

There's another interesting theory about asthma and other auto-immune diseases.

And that is that our bodies were designed to be able to fight worm infestations. Since few of us have worms these days, our bodies attack themselves. . . .

But it's just another theory. And probably there are a combination of things that are causing asthma to rise.

Air pollution is another factor, and it tends to be highest in urban areas where asthma is also highest. So is cockroach infestation, and that can also lead to asthma.

It would be nice if there were one thing we could fix, and eliminate the problem of escalating asthma. But it's probably a number of factors related to modern life. That's my guess anyway, as an asthmatic myself.
