Summary: Put down the albuterol and read!
Comment: I am a lifelong asthmatic, who suffers from numerous allergies, particularly a very, very virulent one to cat dandruff (I married the first woman I dated without cats!) I have spent the majority of my life wheezing and feeling like a freak for it. Worse yet, my parents encouraged me to be a distance runner--like they were (they met during the Boston marathon)--and I have forever been plagued by a feeling that asthma has left me inadequate. Often I must be hooked up to an atomizer, simply in order to perform daily tasks, like cooking, cleaning, or oral sex. The book covers none of these topics, but it avoids them GRACEFULLY, and details all sorts of other pertinent issues. I adore this book, and will recommend it to all of my asthmatic friends. BUT, I was dissapointed that Dr. Weiss never chose to discuss the possibility of medicinal marijuana for asthmatics, which I have been campaigning for throughout my life. True, I often pass out and must be rushed to the emergency room, but this is because street quality marijuana is often adulterated with various forms of cat dandruff. If Dr. Weiss ever chooses to update his book to include a chapter on medicinal marijuana use in the treatment of asthma, then I will be a true, lifelong fan.
