What is Bronchial Asthma?

BA affects people and cats. It is an acute respiratory disease that is characterized by an abrupt onset of severe distress of being unable to breathe in air. The victim will show prolonged expiration (breathing out), coughing in more than half the cases and mild cyanosis (blueness of the tongue and gums) in more severe cases. The cat is bright and alert but prefers a sternal or sitting position and avoids exertion. Rectal temperatures are normal or slightly elevated because of breathing effects and anxiety.

Laboratory findings are normal except for high numbers of eosinophils. Eosinophils are white blood cells that are stimulated by a histamine "trigger" in the body, usually an allergic one.

X-Rays show trapped air within the alveoli of the lung (smallest air sacs), a vesicular emphysema. The bronchi, trachea and pulmonary vessels are abnormally prominent. Many times there is trapped air in the stomach and intestines swallowed when the cat was in respiratory distress. Autopsies on some affected cats show eosinophilic cells infiltrated around the bronchi and bronchioles. Most literature suggest an allergic cause but exact etiology is unknown.

Orthodox treatment is aimed at relief of acute emphysema and secondary bronchial spasm and and bronchiolar obstructions by a secretion composed of mucus and cells (mostly eosinophils). Prednisilone, a powerful cortisone or steroid is given, along with antibiotics prophylactically. For the bronchodilation needed, aminophylline is dispensed. Antihistamines have no affect. Cough depressants should never be used because it is desirable that the cat should be able to rid itself of mucus.

This treatment on a short- term therapy regime can be beneficial, except the condition is never short term. What happens is that more and stronger steroids and antibiotics are given, with resultant immune suppression and digestion disturbances occurring from the drugs. The cat becomes weakened with each ensuing attack and treatment and many times the animal is euthanized because the owner cannot bear the pet's suffering.

On an energy level, Eav has shown me there is a generalized toxicity of the large intestine, small intestine, stomach, liver, spleen, and pancreas. In Chinese Medicine, acupuncture energy has a balanced regenerative and destructive flow through all organ systems. But when the liver becomes overburdened with toxins its destructive energy flow becomes imbalanced and its relationship to the spleen, which makes up the immune system) and pancreas (which makes up digestive system) become increasingly under attack. Eventually the energy destructive forces filter down into the physical world, with impairment of the immune and digestive systems of the body. Allergies, asthma, tumors, improper nutrition, and pathologies in kidney, and heart can develop.

What Are these Toxins found in EAV ?

It starts in kittenhood with the first of many multiple-valent vaccines given, including Rabies Vaccine. The energy fields of these vaccines when tested on the asthmatic patient's Allergy Meridian with the Dermatron shows an elevated reading above normal with an indicator drop of the needle. This translates into initial inflammatory response of the immune system with concurrent degenerative processes going on. However, when nosodes in the homeopathic form of these same vaccines when tested on the patient, the response is an immediate normalizing reading.
