Vitamin D3 is not the only vitamin needed for Asthma reliefBy William Rasmussen on December 12, 2016
There are lots of vitamins and minerals deficiencies that can cause asthma in addition to Vitamin D3. Deficiencies of Vitamin C (mineral ascorbate form), pantothenic acid (B-complex), magnesium, Zinc, etc all have the ability to cause asthma symptoms. I had a 79 year old client who had a total elimination of his asthma with just vitamin C and pantothenic acid. Then there is the importance of reducing the intake of sugars and carbohydrates that cause inflammation to reduce symptoms of asthma. Omega-6 oils are another major cause of the inflammation that causes asthma. What about the role of an unhealthy intestinal tract flora as a cause in the allergies that trigger asthma attacks.
Many people have a pH imbalance that can be the cause of their asthma. The pH can be too alkaline or too acidic. Either one can contribute to the constriction, inflammation and excessive mucous production in the bronchial tubes.that are major causes of asthma.
Now I realize that most people do not want to disrupt their life with a complicated treatment for asthma. So something simple like Vitamin D3 is appealing. But my experience is that mineral ascorbate vitamin C and pantothenic acid are far more effective than vitamin D3 and don’t increase the need for any other vitamins, making their use less complicated.. So even though I think vitamin D3 is an important vitamin for asthmatics to take, it is important for asthmatics to know there are other more effective approaches.
