I have been off eating cow milk/products for almost two years now. As of April 2010, I went off using my Advair medication for asthma (the lowest dose/the purple container). 

Since I have quit eating and drinking cow milk products, I no longer have asthma. It has been found that for certain individuals, their bodies are unable to process/use cow dairy milk/products. I can still use goat and sheep products with no gut issues and no asthma issues.

Doctors don't believe this (even my pulmonary specialist doesn't really believe your asthma will go away if you stop eating/using all cow dairy products), but both myself and my husband have a casein allergy. We quit eating cow dairy, and we no longer have any issues with asthma (and our allergy issues have lessened considerably as well).

Food for thought.<br/><br/>

I have found that, if I eat a whole-food diet with no dairy or processed foods, I never need to use my inhaler. I did all this experimenting myself without any advice from doctors. After a lifetime of increasing medications to control my symptoms, I was not a fan of modern medicine when I realized that years of suffering could have been avoided if the doctors who had treated me advised me or my mother that diet could help as much as it does. But the truth is that they just don't know, and they probably can't really say anyway because big pharma would lose a lot of money if people really knew how much the ball is in their court when it comes to treating one's health.<br/><br/>
