Asthma is a respiratory disorder often of allergic origin that has
marked symptoms such as continuous labored breathing accompanied by
wheezing, by a sense of constriction in the chest, and often by attacks
of coughing or gasping. Allergens – substances that induce allergic
reaction – that usually trigger it are dust, pollen, animal hairs or
fur, and food to which the person is allergic to.
Asthma is either hereditary or acquired in nature. Its symptoms are
controllable and, though it takes quite a long period of maintenance,
asthma itself is curable. Usually a physician will prescribe
anti-asthmatic preparations, such as sympathomimetic drugs (e.g.
ephedrine, salbutamol, theophylline).
Painstakingly catching a lizard alive
Roasting it or frying it without oil
Pulverizing it using mortar and pestle
Dissolving it in coffee, tea, or any beverage
Ingesting the concoction as if it is a medication
Is some cases, even worse, the lizard is swallowed whole and alive!
This practice is still prevalent in the provinces and among the
uninformed. Actually there is no scientific evidence supporting the
belief that lizard has any medicinal value, more so is capable of curing
asthma.
This regimen may have just arisen from the lack of knowledge in science
and gullibility of most old folks, who used to associate most anything
with anything based on sheer coincidence.
To those who dont know, I have asthma. My mom and dad told me that my
asthma is cured when I was a child but unluckily it went back when I was
in high school. I dont know if I should believe what my parents told me
whenever I asked them what cured my asthma before. They keep telling me
that they roasted a lizard, pulverized it
and added the powder on my milk.. Haha, kinda funny but if it is eally
the one that cured my asthma when I was a child, THANK YOU! You guys can try it, but the question is KAYA NYO BA?
