I'm not a doctor and asthma can be life-threatening so please take my suggestions with a grain of salt and do a little research on it:One of the best bronchial-dilators is an herb called ephedra. Ephedra acts a bit like speed or caffeine int he body, hence the negative press. It has, however, saved thousands of lives and has been used for thousands of years as an essential remedy in Chinese medicine.You can buy ephedra at little herb/healthfood stores sometimes. Ephedrine is the laboratory-isolated version, and the side effects of it can be harsher. This is often sold at truckstop gas stations, or in stay-awake formulas at the drugstore. I don't think its a god idea to take regular doses of this stuff, but you might keep it on hand just in case you have an attack and do not have meds that work.I suggest you look into allergy sources. I know doctors will test for basic allergies, but I've heard several people say they had major improvements when they stopped eating dairy and wheat (which is hard to do, let me tell you), or got out of a house with mold in the basement or air ducts, or stopped using sprays and cleaners with harsh ingredients. I'm sure its trial&error, so I would pick one batch and see how you do after a month, then move on to the next thing, and so on.Good luck!

I also use advair and albuteral. It helps but is there something better?

I was an asthmatic and at one time taking your regimen listed above. Unfortunately none of them worked for me either. I became vegetarian, cutting out all dairy and eggs and started drinking lots more water. You should be drinking at least 1/2 your body weight in ounces each day. These tips are just a few things that can help your asthma symptoms.I hope this helps!Peggywww.natural-asthma-cure.com
