  2. Symtoms Wheezing Coughing Light headedness And also shortness of breath.

  3. Causes The exact cause of asthma isn't known. Researchers think a combination of factors (family genes and certain environmental exposures) interact to cause asthma to develop, most often early in life. These factors include: An inherited tendency to develop allergies, called atopy (AT-o-pe) Parents who have asthma Certain respiratory infections during childhood Contact with some airborne allergens or exposure to some viral infections in infancy or in early childhood when the immune system is developing If asthma or atopy runs in your family, exposure to airborne allergens (for example, house dust mites, cockroaches, and possibly cat or dog dander) and irritants (for example, tobacco smoke) may make your airways more reactive to substances in the air you breathe. atma,causes.com

  4. Looking for a cure With all the new findings on alternative medicine and natural remedies, you may wonder if there’s a natural cure for asthma. Presently, there is no cure for asthma. In fact, it’s highly advisable to avoid any asthma treatment or product -- natural or otherwise -- that claims to be a "cure" for asthma. People with asthma experience symptoms when the airways tighten, inflame, or fill with mucus.

  5. Treatments There are very little treatments for asthma the, most you can do is get weekly treatments and take an inhaler daily.

  6. Do you really grow out of asthma? It depends, if you’re someone who runs a lot or is very active it will probably affect you longer. If you stay unactive and take your inhaler every two hours and get lots of breathing treatments then it would probably not last as long.

  7. Nebulizers If you suffer from a respiratory disease such as asthma, COPD, emphysema or cystic fibrosis, you are well aware of the importance of having a nebulizer around when you need it. Nebulizershelp to administer the medication you need by creating a liquid mist that goes directly into your airway. asthma inhaler orders.com

  9. In my own experience with asthma I have dealt with wheezing coughing all those symptoms . I do carry an inhaler around, and every so often I go to the Dr. to get a check up. It is annoying sometimes because it keeps me from playing football or other sports, but even if it’s annoying I always carry my inhaler for emergencies.

  10. Leprocy Leprosy is an infectious disease that has been known since biblical times. It is characterized by disfiguring skin sores, nerve damage, and progressive debilitation. Leprocy is caused by the organism Mycobacteriumleprae. It is not very contagious and has a long incubation period which makes it difficult to determine where or when the disease was contracted. Children are more susceptible than adults to contracting the disease. Leprocy.com

  11. Treatments Many treatments include aspirin, prednozone, and bogarin are used to kill the bacteria that causes leprocy. If you live with leprocy for a long time then the antibiotics wont work as well.

  12. Cancer Overview Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Cancerous cells are also called malignant cells.

  13. Symtoms Symptoms of cancer depend on the type and location of the tumor. For example, lung cancer can cause coughing, shortness of breath, or chest pain. Colon cancer often causes diarrhea, constipation, and blood in the stool. Some cancers may not have any symptoms at all. In certain cancers, such as gallbladder cancer, symptoms often do not start until the disease has reached an advanced stage. The following symptoms can occur with most cancers: Chills Fatigue Fever Loss of appetite Malaise Night sweats Weight loss Cancer.com

  14. Radiotherapy Radiation therapy (in North America), or radiotherapy (in the UK and Australia) also called radiation oncology, and sometimes abbreviated to XRT, is the medical use of ionizing radiation as part of cancer treatment to control malignantcells (not to be confused with radiology, the use of radiation in medical imaging and diagnosis). Radiotherapy may be used for curative or adjuvant treatment. radiotherapyforyou.com

  15. Future of Diseases In the future I predict we will produce a cure for these diseases because we are already advancing in technology like the radiotherapy treatment.

  16. Overall we deal with diseases that we just have to live with. We try to cure them with “natural” cures but really you have to treat it with doctor approved methods.
