Product Description
Dr. Richard Firshein first developed and implemented his Breath of Life Program at a public elementary school in the Bronx that had one of the highest rates of asthma in the country. Nearly 100 percent of the asthmatic students experienced a dramatic drop in reliance on medication, emergency room visits, and school absences due to asthma attacks. Using his expertise in integrative medicine, Dr. Firshein has created a program that combines traditional medical practices with alternative approaches such as nutritional supplementation, diet, and breathing and visualization exercises to form a vital resource for any parent of an asthmatic child.

Reader ReviewsThis book has been written for parents and those who are responsible for the health of children suffering with asthma. By outlining a proven 7-step program in detail, Dr. Firshein, who is a well-known authority in the field of Preventive Medicine, gives the reader a great program for systematically healing a child with asthma and giving him or her life tools and knowledge to recognize and deal with any future recurrences. It is a highly effective program that the author encourages parents to share with their child's health provider so that the child may have the best care possible. I personally know of children that have been on this program and it has given them and their parents a whole new lease on life, bringing hope and new found health for the whole family.
