BUY THE BOOK IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES/ASTHMA/SINUSITIS

Couldn't breathe. Bought this book. Showed my doctor who changed all my medications. That was six months ago. TODAY? I BREATHE so well that I'm training for the NY marathon. It's hard for me to believe that getting the RIGHT medication can be crucial for allergy and asthma. But I'm a believer.

Buy this book!

I have had allergies since birth--and never have felt good until I did the things written in this book. An excellent book on why allergies happen and what you can do--today--to stop them. I took the book to my doctor and she changed my medication to include steroid nasal inhalers. This helped me go through two pollen seasons without missing any work. SUPERB!!

This book puts asthma in its proper perspective!

Breathe Right Now! is right to the point. Dr.Smolley puts asthma in its proper perspective and provides a fine analysis of what causes breathing problems and how to approach a realistic solution to these problems. Thank you Dr. Smolley and the other contributors!

A most comprehensive book and helpful for many ailments

As a physician, I'm always looking for books that explain diseases to patients--but that are comprehensive and easy-to-read. Breathe Right Now fits the bill. It describes the most common breathing problems in a manner that my patients can understand and gives easy, practical ways in which they can take control of their environment and their health. Superb chapter on exercise and stress!! I'm recommending to all of my allergy, asthma, and COPD patients in my clinics.

It's springtime, and I can breathe!!!

For 12 years I have choked and coughed from springtime pollen. The information in this book was helpful in letting me know to take meds BEFORE I am hit in the face with pollen. For the first time, I do not have a sinus infection!! Thank you, Dr. Smolley and Bruce.
