Control not cure: At the current time, there is no cure for asthma. However, it can be controlled through a plan that involves avoiding triggers, quick relief medications, daily controller medications and sometimes other treatments including allergy shots. An allergist is qualified and specifically trained to control a person's asthma so it doesn't control them!

You don't: Asthma is a chronic condition of increased small airway reactions. There are genetic and environmental factors that persist throughout life, usually becoming evident in childhood. One learns to live with their asthma & present medications offer a near normal existence to most. There is no cure, there are programs that promote stability & reduced flare ups through early recognition of problems.
