SynopsisAsthma results in 439,000 hospitalizations and 1.8 million emergency room visits annually according to AACAI. This guidebook provides essential information on Asthma, but also serves as a historical survey, by providing information on the controversies surrounding its causes, and first-person narratives by people coping with Asthma. Patients, family members, or caregivers explain the condition from their own experience. The symptoms, causes, treatments, and potential cures are explained in detail. Essential to anyone trying to learn about diseases and conditions, the alternative treatments are explored. Student researchers and readers will find this book easily accessible through its careful and conscientious editing and a thorough introduction to each essay. Includes charts, graphs, and tables.
