Do you think there will be a cure for asthma one day?
I'm curious, does anyone here think there will be a cure for asthma, and other inflammatory conditions one day? Why or why not? Personally I can't really predict. I don't really know if there will be a cure for asthma one day. I hope there is though.
Great question. I think that there will some day be a cure. I think that what will happen is doctors will eventually have a way of determining what genes are causing a person's asthma. And they will have a way of fixing the flaws on these genes. Perhaps there will be a medical revolution of sorts, when this sort of treatment cures many of our diseases. This will allow people to live better and live longer. That's just an idea I have. I am very interested in hearing what others have to say about your inquiry. Thank you for posting this.

Considering that, you might be interested in knowing that me becoming a pharmacy tech was actually a result of a different career path not working out. I wanted to be a radiology tech at first. You would have no way of knowing this, but I'm a little guy, and I'm definitely not capable of lifting patients onto the X-ray table. Being a pharmacy tech is a much better fit for me. I also want to get certified as an EKG tech and maybe become a respiratory therapist someday. I have a few interests that just aren't really for me career wise. I only really like the data collection and diverse answers to questions aspect of journalism. I'm also a musician! I've also extensively studied music theory! All of those things are great! It's too bad that the rad tech life didn't work out, but it's clear that you're putting your interest in health and caring for others to good use anyway. I never imagined ending up here at Health Union (our parent company) when I graduated college, but that's the way life goes and I've been pleasantly surprised by the journey. It just proves there are so many ways to find fulfillment. -Melissa, asthma.net team
Neat question. I am not an expert -- I don't even have asthma -- but I'd say yes, for sure. Consider where we were in various aspects of medical research, treatment, and so on 100 years ago. And then look at where we are today! It's mind-blowing. There has even been progress in the past 10 years. I find great hope in thinking about what the future holds. -Melissa, asthma.net team I think that asthma is the prompt response of our overworking immune system. Should I be grateful to or hate my fast response immune system when triggered by y different allergens. At present, my memories of my asthma attacks go really far . My body started this hateful response when I was only 2 yrs old. The pediatrician came to my home but at that time , in Puerto Rico, there was no special medicine
( Vicks, Mentholatum. Alcanfor, honey, cod fish oil mixed with almond oil.. that I remember Was hospitalized and under oxygen tent once. The dr in the clinic started Gamaglobulina shots. I was better for some time. Puberty also helped m to hold the asthma attacks for some years.
When my 40tg birthday came the bear that was hyvernating woke up again.
72 yrs still kicking and praying that somebody one of these days finds the cure for asthma. Thank you
