I thought asthma was caused by global warming.

Obama`s ugly mug gives me an asthma attack.

Soooo……….. limit exposure to calcium? I’m related to dairy farmers, please say no.

Apparently the drugs that have showed so much promise are already on the market. They are used to treat osteoporosis. Why not just start prescribing them for asthma?

THis crap happens all the time. They’ll be a drug that has been on the market for years. Cheap. Find out it’s good to treat something else. Rename it. Patent it as a treatment for XXXX. And then it goes from $2 a pill to $200 a dose.

Another human malady caused by ‘inflammation’.

There’s a tell in there...

[[Their work highlighted the body’s calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) as the main culprit in triggering asthma symptoms]]

So the environment doesn’t CAUSE Asthma- it just aggravates it

[[”For the first time we have found a link airways inflammation, which can be caused by environmental triggers]]

Wooops- now apparently Asthma is CAUSED by the environment

So nice that they’ve “nailed down the CAUSE of asthma”

caSR isn’t asthma- it simply is a mechanism by which asthma symptoms get triggered- what we need to find out is what CAUSES caSR to malfunction like it does- in normal people it doesn’t CAUSE SYMPTOMS of asthma to occur when enviro triggers activate it to react the way it does

[[”If this research proves successful we may be just a few years away from a new treatment for asthma,]]

Which means they will develop a drug to ‘normalize’ caSR so that it functions the way it is supposed to=- or nearly functiosn the way it is supposed to- but in order to find such a drug, they will need to find out what CAUSES caSR to malfunction (or they will just have to stumble on a drug that suppresses caSR without knowing WHY it does)- when they find out WHY caSR malfunctions, then they will have the answer to what CAUSES asthma- so until then people claiming environmental conditions CAUSE asthma don’t understand science- and these same people turn around and call people who deny man is ‘causing climate change’ don’t understand science?

[[the research models showed CaSR went into overdrive when asthmatic tissue was irritated by external stimuli.]]

Well obviously something was going awry/into overdrive- but what is CAUSING it to go awry? Find out that answer, and you will be very close to finding the true CAUSE of asthma- environmental issues do NOT cause asthma contrary to our _resident’s claim about His daguther- This very same _resident who accuses us of ‘denying science’ because we don’t believe that man’s contribution of just 0.00137% CO2 to the atmosphere’s total volume can possibly be causing climate change

Bush’s fault.

Asthma is caused by pollen and cigarette smoke! Who woudda thunk it!

tell me something I don't know.
