Asthma: Your brother should be under the care of an allergist. He will be needed to be tested to find out what he is allergic to. He will have to undergo desensitization as well as being on proper medication. In addition he will be under close supervision of his doctor.

Not a realistic rqst: Asthma is a condition that can be managed well by a pcp with cooperation by the patient. True asthma is a lifelong condition, there is no permanent "fix" like taking out a bad appendix. Patients often go through good years or bad years depending on various factors, but with a good understanding of the process and a plan for regular care, life is good.
