Stop the myth about asthma being incurable
One thing that boggles the mind is how often I've seen the phrase "Asthma is incurable".
This phrase is constantly used by doctors and
on many websites of health agencies and leading medical centers around the country.
Of course there are no studies that back up this claim but it continues to be touted as fact
among medical professionals.
I am realistic and accept that research relating asthma to the bacteria Chlamydia pneumoniae is
still a few years away before being recognized by mainstream medicine.
However, I believe there needs to be revisions to the old way of thinking and instead of
stating that "Asthma is incurable", I would suggest that they change that phrase to be
"Until recently it was thought that Asthma was incurable. However promising new
research indicates that asthma may actually be caused by a bacteria and some studies report that
asthma may finally have a cure (in some cases)".
We need to challenge these blanket statements by educating institutions and
organizations with the latest information and gains being made by Asthma Researchers.
To be told "asthma is incurable" makes
a bad situation hopeless for those in the trenches suffering with severe asthma.
So be part of the solution and join with me in educating organizations and groups that
spread the "Asthma is incurable" myth.
You can help by sending letters and email to organizations that state
"asthma is incurable". It's a statement with no basis in fact, research or studies to back it up.
Sending letters and email to organizations that perpetuate this myth only takes a few
minutes of your time and may make a difference.

Science Daily News
(May 25, 2010)Scientists from the University of Massachusetts have developed an animal model that shows how an early childhood lung infection can cause asthma later in life.
What are Biofilms?
To educate yourself more on biofilms and why vitamin "D" may be bad when trying to eradicate Chlamydia pneumoniae or Mycoplasma, read this interesting article by Dr. Randall Wolcott, bacterial biofilm wound specialist
and also
The Marshall protocol for biofilms in wound treatment. Highly technical but somewhat related in that it addresses why eradicating bacteria like Chlamydia pneumoniae and mycoplasma can be so difficult.
Clinical Trials
The University of Wisconsin, American Academy of Family Physicians, Wisconsin Academy of Family Physicians (WAFP),The Dean Foundation for Health, Research and Education (Dean Foundation) and Pfizer corporationis sponsoring a study and recruiting volunteers for a study called AZMATICS to determine the effectiveness of Azithromycin as Adjunctive Treatment for Adult Asthma.
Important notice: At this time, the study is no longer recruiting subjects.
If you are interested in learning more about azithromycin treatment for asthma, you may email Dr. Hahn at:
Dean Foundation

If you are interested in making a donation to The Dean Foundation you can specify that it be used towards infectious asthma research
Support forum
First off, I would like to apologize for abruptly shutting down the support forum several years ago. Besides dealing with hackers, trolls and rude people, I was going through an extremely stressful time in life that resulted in the loss of our youngest son.
It got to be too much to handle so one day I flipped the switch and shut it down.
I know this upset some people so I hope they can accept this apology

ASTHMA AND INFECTION
Recommendations for interested Physicians by DAVID L. HAHN, MD. MS.

For the past 12 years the pharmaceuticals and health products industry represent the top industry when it comes to financing lobbiest that influence our laws and federal policies (FDA).
No wonder this research still hasn't made it mainstream while drugs like oxycodone / oxycontin are freely dispensed. Killing and addicting millions.
Then again, it's all about money isn't it?

With so much information exploding all around us, finding a nugget of knowledge is not nearly as important as what we do with it. |
The National Lung Association reports that
The annual direct health care cost of asthma is approximately $15.6 billion; indirect costs (e.g. lost productivity) add another $5.1 billion, for a total of $20.7 billion dollars. Prescription drugs represented the largest single direct cost, at $5.6 billion.
In 2008, it was estimated that 23.3 million Americans currently have asthma. Of these, 12.7 million Americans (4.1 million children under 18) had an asthma attack
