I have driven all the way from San Francisco to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to see how my asthma is. Along the way I stopped in Flagstaff to detox off my pharmaceutical drugs that I was taking 2X a day, everyday, for many, many years. By my second week in Flagstaff, I was drug & asthma free. After 2 weeks of being asthma free I drove to Santa Fe, to see if there are any changes in my condition, or if I will still be asthma free here, and to research why. What is amazing to me is how used to, as a society, we are to being medicated for simple things like breathing. Shouldn't our priority be on cleaning our air, and not on medicating the citizens of this country? An analogy is this: If I had a goldfish inside a bowl of very polluted, dirty water, and the goldfish was getting sick..... should I start medicating the goldfish to survive in the dirty water, or should I clean out its bowl!?!? I think in our society, we are just medicating our citizens in our dirty, polluted air. I know it would be very difficult for most people to drop everything and travel the country for a couple months, to find out which air in our country is better for their asthma symptoms. Hopefully what I find can be of benefit to others.
