Join us as host Marcella Feathers talks with board-certified allergist Dr. Phil Jones about overcoming the effects of asthma. To paraphrase Dr. Jones: you shouldn't accept the symptoms of asthma...you should be able to do anything you want to do!

Dr. Jones starts by defining asthma and its different triggers, explaining the relevance of chronic, episodic, and hyper-responsive reactions. He also explains how infectious diseases can trigger asthma in adults and what various treatments are available. As asthma specialists, allergists can provide very unique, individualized treatment plans to ensure patients' specific symptoms don't interfere with daily activities.

Learn how the affects of asthma can be reversed, why Dr. Jones tells patients that lung health is tied to nose health, and why physicians avoid prescribing alternative options (labeled "food supplements") as medication--all in this episode of Let's Clear the Air!
