A "Must-Own" for Anyone with Asthma!!

This book is an easy-to-follow discussion of what asthma is(in layman's terms, NOT all medical jargon)and how to successfully handle it.  Topics discussed are such as: finding the "triggers" to your asthma problem (i.e. food allergies, environmental allergies...), making the most of the least medications, holistic treatments that might help, how parents can help their children...and the list goes on.  Of all the books I have looked at on this subject, this one seems to "cover all the bases" without being too bogged down.  A quick, easy reference.
