Gina, it does sound like your asthma is either worst because of
bacteria, or caused by bacteria.

I've been in contact with many doctors in the U.K. who are not at all
open to this, despite the links to research I've emailed them. I
can't recommend your ordering drugs online, but I will say that
several people I know finally did just that and found great relief
when they did.

I believe I know of another place you might order from that's actually
in the U.K., but I don't have your complete email address and I would
rather send you the information privately. Please post your email
address so I can send that off to you.

Maureen
