My Story

Hi, I'm now 55 years old, married with two sons and live in Clearwater Florida. One of our sons lives out of the country and our other is watching over us from heaven. It's been OVER 14 years since my asthma was cured and I can't imagine having to live that life again. I'm amazed when I talk to people with asthma and they make excuses why this won't work for them.

The research is sound and it works. There are several success stories posted on the site but these are only a few of the many who have benefitted from using this information to cure their severe asthma. It doesn't work for everyone but it is extremely effective for many people.

In 1995, we moved to Florida from Royal Oak Michigan. This was shortly after my near fatal asthma attack.  Our hope was the Florida climate would be better for asthma.  And although the climate was better than the cold damp Michigan weather, my asthma was still with me and severe even after the move.

Now that my asthma is completely cured, I live an active lifestyle that includes walking on the beaches and hiking on the Florida Trails and parks. I've backpacked hundreds of miles of the Appalachian trail and also waded/slogged through 40 miles of Everglades swamps in deep mud and water up to waist deep in Early 2003 on the Florida National Scenic Trail. I wouldn't have been able to do any of this if I still had asthma.

After getting my life back, I realized there were too many people suffering with the exact medical symptoms I had.  I was in a unique position to help educate others because of the circumstances of my story.  Although this research is still not yet fully accepted by mainstream medicine, many people do not have the luxury to wait until this research is mature. I realized that there is an asthma cure and while it won't cure everyone ... a good percentage of people that are diagnosed with asthma will be able to benefit from this research and cure their asthma.

That's why it's important we all support the research of Dr. David Hahn and others relating asthma to the bacteria Chlamydia Pneumoniae and Mycoplasma. If this research benefits you, send me an email and let me know.

Before being cured of my asthma, I was a completely different person !

Every single night was hell for me.  I spent many evenings in hospital emergency rooms because my asthma was completely out of control.  I saw dozens of doctors WHO ALL DIAGNOSED ME AS BEING ASTHMATIC but none of them could provide me with more than temporary relief.  I remember once getting the maximum number of adrenaline shots in an hospital ER and the doctor being amazed that my lungs were still congested and wheezy. And those shots HURT !!!!

The only relief I ever had was when I took a "dose pack" of steroids.  I didn't use them much because I was fearful of the side effects of steroids.  At night I had air cleaners in our bedroom, a humidifier by the bedside, special electronic air cleaners on our furnace, and a breathing machine with a bunch of tubes at our bedside (one that delivers misted medicine).  In essence, our bedroom looked like a hospital ward.  Despite all the gizmos, I still could not breathe during the night and would cough so much that my neighbors could hear me hacking and coughing, even when all the windows were closed.  I often heard co-workers joking "Jim's coughing up another piece of his lung". It was a constant struggle.  I also felt sorry for my poor wife who had to listen to me coughing throughout the night.  

Since my body wasn't receiving proper amounts of oxygen, many other aspects of my life were affected.  I never slept well, and my energy level was low.  My memory was bad because (I think) of oxygen deprivation. It's no way to live a life.

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 corporation is 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. However, the Principal Investigator, Dr. David Hahn, is willing to discuss other research opportunities that may be available for asthma suffers.

If you are interested in learning more, you may email Dr. Hahn at:

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

Archives for the support forum can be found here. Plenty of good information to research
