PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Common form of asthma due to hypersensitivity to an allergen. Characterized by recurrent paroxysms of dyspnea of a wheezing type due to obstruction of the flow of air in the smaller bronchi and bronchioles.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:
There is a spasm of the bronchial apparatus with swelling and the production of mucous that tends to clog the airways. The presence of adventitious sounds all over the thorax is noted even with the most casual examination. In general, there is a metabolic disturbance with poor protein assimilation, and there is most frequently a condition of hypoglycemia in all these cases. The approach as outline under "hypoglycemia" should be considered in asthma conditions.

TREATMENT:
Obviously an effort must be made to eliminate any allergen that can be demonstrated to be a causative, or contributing factor. Poor nutrition, a general debilitated state, and a psychogenic background are commonly observed especially in children. The older the patient, generally the more intractable the condition. A diet designed to reduce, or eliminate the hypoglycemia so often seen, is mandatory. Milk, eggs, wheat, citrus fruits, and white potatoes are the most common food allergens. Organic brown rice is one of the finest foods to be recommended in these cases as very few people are allergic to rice, and rice could be the basis of the diet.
