Hi Steven,
Good article - you should send it to some of the health magazines.  I suffer from chronic asthma.  There are some days just walking across the room wears me out.  Lucky my job is desk bound and also my hobbies, but being sick does stress you out. 

I finally found some relief by getting allergy shots - come to find out I'm allergic to every tree and grass growing in my area.  Now I only get bad episodes when I get a cold/flu.  The meds suck - I hate using the nebulizer!  Creating something is one of the best therapies!
