It is incredible to imagine that the parasites are capable of curing several human diseases, and even some disorders.

It has been discovered, for example, that within the small intestine is a parasite round, which you may be able to cure people who have asthma.

There is even a pig parasite, which although at present is in research, could greatly assist in the healing of colon disease and intestine.

Thus we can state that parasites are not only our body but also for animals, which either studied can help us to eliminate many diseases.

One problem, though it does not seem, is now trying to eliminate any parasite that exists in our body so that could help are not there to protect us. And thus, the diseases come faster in our body.

The first treatment attempt with parasites is to place the microscopic worm on the skin of the patient, to make it into the body and proceeded to reach in order to combat infection.

We know that some parasites living inside the body for a period of 15 to 20 years, but still seeks to discover is what is the way we can help eliminate the disease.

So far it’s good to know that treatment exists to cure some patients and that with rapid advances in medicine is uncertain whether we can find some time to fully experience the qualities of these bodies.

There are also medications long-term control. These are used continuously to control chronic symptoms and prevent asthma episodes. These include inhaled glucocorticoids. These are anti-inflammatory drugs are considered the most effective. Inhaled glucocorticoids help reduce the frequency of asthma episodes and reduce the dose of other drugs used to relieve symptoms. Because they travel directly into the airways is a risk of side effects is greatly reduced. Can still cause some problems such as thrush in the mouth and pharynx, atrophy of the muscles of the larynx which causes speech problems caused by irritation and coughing. Using low doses or a holding chamber are reduced these effects. Inhaled glucocorticoids may also affect the growth of some children. In addition there may be a slight increased risk of skin bruising and it becomes thin and susceptible to damage. The use of spacer is recommended as well as mouthwash and gargle after throwing water used. This reduces the amount of glucocorticoid that can be swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system. It also reduces the possibility of infections such as candidiasis already mentioned and the irritation of the mouth and throat.

Other drugs are long-term control beta-2 agonists. These are bronchodilators whose action can last up to 18 hours. Some of these are salmeterol (Begles Serevent INASP Betamican) and formoterol (Oxis, Neblik, Foradil). These drugs are used in combination with inhaled glucocorticoids.

The leukotriene modifiers or inhibitors are other medicines for long-term control. Leukotrienes are substances secreted by cells in the lungs during an asthma attack that cause inflammation in the lining of the airways. Some are leukotriene modifiers montelukast (Singulair) and zafirlukast (Accolate). Usually are not as effective as inhaled glucocorticoids but are an option when there is a mild attack of asthma and want to avoid the use of glucocorticoids. Leukotriene modifiers are also used in combination with inhaled corticosteroids or other medicines to help prevent asthma episodes.

The chromones – including cromolyn (Intal, Frenal) and nedocromil (Tilade, Ildor, Brionil, Cetinil), inhibit the degranulation of mast cells, immune cells that release histamine which in turn takes part in the inflammatory process. In some patients these drugs can control asthma and prevent asthma attacks of mild to moderate. In some cases they can help prevent exercise-induced asthma when used one hour before strenuous physical activity.

Methylxanthines (theophylline and aminophylline) act as bronchodilators. Its mode of action is unknown and at high doses can cause side effects such as headache, nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, reflux, confusion, fast or irregular heartbeat, nervousness and even coma. The doses of these drugs must be tailored to each person through blood tests. Currently these drugs are falling into disuse.
Immunotherapy is another treatment. This is used for desensitization injections against allergens that can cause an asthma attack. They are administered as a vaccine the same substances that cause asthma, but in small quantities so that the body gets used and not reject them. This is a long-term therapy based on subcutaneous injections. The desired effects may take two or three years to produce.

Anti-IgE monoclonal antibodies – In allergies the body produces antibodies called IgE that attack substances that generally are harmless, like pollen, dust mites or hair from domestic animals, causing the typical symptoms of this condition . A drug called omalizumab (Xolair) blocks the action of these antibodies and thus reduces the number of episodes of asthma caused by allergies. This medicine is provided based on injections. Among the risks is the possibility of a severe reaction that can produce up to two hours after injection. It is also believed that this drug may be related to cancer development. Pregnant women should or lactating should consult their doctor and that Xolair may cause complications.

Asthma Symptoms

Caution: Asthma is a serious condition and is a medical emergency. If you or someone around you suffers from acute asthma attacks consult your doctor or go to an emergency room quickly.

Symptoms of asthma include coughing, wheezing, runny in the form of phlegm, and dyspnea or fatigue (short breath). The severity of symptoms varies from a whistle may occur to a lesser severe difficulty breathing. Sometimes we think of asthma as a condition annoying but not life threatening. However, thousands of people die each year because of an asthma attack.

Asthma symptoms occur more frequently during the night. In some cases, asthma presents with long periods in which there are no symptoms until a crisis occurs or what many people call an asthma attack. In other cases the symptoms are more or less continuously, producing occasionally a sharpening of these. There are cases in which only show a persistent cough and tightness in the chest area. In some children appear to be a recurring bronchitis, coughing and phlegm without fatigue on breathing or other symptoms that occur in adults.

Incidence
Asthma has a higher incidence in children than in adults. It is estimated that in children the incidence is about eleven percent. However, in some cities with a high incidence of environmental pollution can be up to twenty five percent. About 80 percent of children with asthma develop symptoms before five years of age. By school age is more common among men. Fortunately, the trend is toward healing and that among adults the incidence is reduced to between four and six percent. People who were breastfed as children have a lower incidence of asthma.

Diagnosing Asthma
The diagnosis of asthma may be difficult due to the variety of symptoms and the need to rule out other conditions that can cause some similar symptoms. Conditions that can cause asthma-like symptoms include pulmonary emphysema, the beginnings of congestive heart failure and a vocal cord dysfunction known as episodic laryngeal dysfunction that affects mostly women. To reach a diagnosis is used in many cases to a medical history and various tests. One test used is known as pulmonary function test which determines how much air enters and leaves the lungs when we breathe.

To measure lung function are mainly used two instruments. One of them is called a spirometer and the other as meter peak. Another test used is the bronchial provocation. In this methacholine used an agent known to cause asthma. If you have asthma this agent will cause a small constriction of the airways, which can be measured with a pulmonary function test. In young children can not perform pulmonary function tests and diagnosis is done by careful collection and analysis of medical records and observation of patient response to an inhaled bronchodilator medication. If the patient improves with this drug is as safe as it is asthma. Exposure to cigarette smoke.

• Exposure to asthma triggers present in the workplace. These are chemicals used in agriculture, beauty salons and in the manufacture of electronic components, paints, steel and plastics.
• Having the parent (or both) asthmatics
• Low birth weight
• Obesity
• GE Reflux

In people whose asthma began before or two years of age whose mother also suffers or suffered from asthma, as well as those with a positive allergy test in which there are persistently impaired respiratory function the probability that the asthma is sustained after arrival adulthood is higher.

Complications of asthma
Allergy to which often starts asthma can be gradually replaced by inflammation. Over the years this can lead to tissue destruction of the bronchi. In these individuals occurs because of chronic inflammation, an irreversible obstructive airway and pulmonary function may decrease rapidly.
