In a study of 32 asthmatic adults, taking tomato extract rich in lycopene was found to reduce lung inflammation. For the first 10 days of the study, asthmatics were fed a low-antioxidant diet, which worsened their asthma. After this 10 day period, subjects were given 1) placebo, 2) tomato extract containing 45 mg/d lycopene, and 3) tomato juice containing 45 mg/d lycopene—each for a period of 7 days. Results found reductions in lung inflammation with both lycopene supplements.

Fish Oil During Pregnancy Prevents Childhood Asthma

In 533 women with normal pregnancies, taking fish oil (capsules containing 2.7 g omega-3 PUFAs/d) during pregnancy (from week 30 through delivery) was associated with a reduced risk of asthma in the child, as compared to a placebo (olive oil capsules), or no therapy. Of the 523 children that were followed for 16 years from the time of childbirth, 19 were diagnosed with an asthma-related disease, of which 10 were diagnosed with allergic asthma. Children of mothers who supplemented with fish oil were found to have a 63% lower risk of developing asthma and an 87% lower risk of allergic asthma, compared to children of mothers who had been given the placebo (olive oil) capsules. The authors conclude that supplementation with "omega-3 PUFAs in late pregnancy may carry an important prophylactic potential in relation to offspring asthma."

Antifungal Therapy May Help Asthma Patients

English researchers have found that the antifungal Sporanox 200 mg 2x day for 32 weeks can help in those with chronic severe asthma. As they presumed it would only help in those with fungal allergies, the Sporanox was only given to those who tested positive for fungal allergies, though I suspect it could help others as well.

MSM Raises Glutathione Levels

Published: September 10, 2012

In our article on arthritis, we talked about a mix of nutrients that can dramatically decrease arthritis pain over six weeks. One of these is a simple and cheap nutrient called MSM. This sulfur-containing compound helps supply the sulfur needed for the proteins that heal tissues. Another recent study showed that MSM also suppresses inflammation and the inflammatory molecules (cytokines) that cause inflammation. Now a new study shows that MSM also increases the critical antioxidant glutathione. Many people theorize that glutathione deficiency is one of the key common underlying problems that causes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
