Asthma affects over 21 million Americans, and that number is on the rise. With over a third of its sufferers under the age of 21, this lung affliction has become the most prevalent chronic disease among children and the third most prevalent in the general population.
Noting that understanding and education are key to halting this rise, Dr. Phil Lieberman has written Understanding Asthma for families of asthma victims and for the individual sufferer. His subjects of special focus include the lungs of an asthmatic, allergies that trigger the disease, and measures to control it.
The book features
- A comprehensive discussion of how asthma affects the lungs
- A description of the tools the physician uses to diagnose and treat the disease
- A thorough review and classification of current treatments
- An insight into current research and the future of treatment and management
- A complete appendix of resource organizations with postal and e-mail addresses and phone numbers
