asthma reaching epidemic proportions

I agree that asthma numbers are significantly increasing. However, I really don't think it's the air
quality that's causing asthma to develop in people. I would classify myself as an environmentalist
and do not agree with many of Bush's policies so I'm not siding with him or the Republicans.

It's going to be awhile before research and studies prove it, but I firmly believe that science will
connect a direct link to asthma and several bacteria that can be (and are) easily spread. The
bacteria Chlamydia pneumoniae and mycoplasma are several that seem to be on the rise and in many
studies prove to be a direct link to asthma. My asthmastory.comasthmastory.comOpen ↗ website has a lot of
research and information that backs up these suspicions. These are some nasty bacteria. Recently I
spent some time with Dr. David Hahn (I posted a video interview of Dr. Hahn on my website) who
mentioned that researchers are currently studying the effect of these bacteria in the tissue of the
lungs and are confirming the asthma link. However it will be some time before these studies and
results are conclusive.

And I agree .... Bush doesn't seem to give a care about the environment or American jobs and is too
busy representing big business ..... but that's another subject for another forum.

Of course the NJ turnpike has more trucks traveling on that stretch then anywhere in the US .
Doesn't help. Ask President if he cares? I live in

Clearly from my post posts, everyone knows I agree. However, the poster is living in CDC country and
is unlikely to get antibiotics (even though I have antibiotics) due to your information and my
contacts at CDC. Ahh the rub. Cutting edge and all that.

Jim, While I will check out your links, I tend to believe what those
researchers are finding out. Since Pa and NJ have such high asthma rates, is
there a coincidence they are downwind from extreme amount of traffic
congestion and power plants ? I would expect Washington state to have just
as many asthma cases in proportion as NJ then which is just not the case.
But perhaps this bacteria you talk about follows the smoke from diesel fuel
and power plants? Other things I have read Jim: toll takers on average live
5 years less then the average person.People in asia where the pollution is
even worse then here are having asthma rates surpass us .Many people wear
masks everyday in some cities of Asia. While the air maybe cleaner in some
pollutants , its more concentrated in others. (particulates and others), I
am not sure they measured paticulates twenty years ago though. Remember also
there are more cars on the road then ever before and many are Suvs that are
gas guzzlers.
