Minimize your child's asthma symptoms, avoid unexpected attacks, and say good-bye to emergency room visits!

You take your child to the doctor, follow a treatment plan to the letter, and administer the prescribed drugs, yet the coughing and wheezing persist. And then there are those frightening emergency room visits. The daily anxiety of asthma has taken both an emotional and a physical toll on your child and has left you helpless to give him or her long-lasting relief.

It doesn't have to be this way, according to Dr. Gary Rachelefsky, a leading asthma specialist who has treated thousands of children over the past 30 years. In Free Your Child from Asthma, you'll find out why so many children with asthma aren't getting the care they need and how, in just four weeks, you can help put your child on the fast track to a symptom-free life.

Get the knowledge and skills you need to:

• Recognize the early warning signs of an attack
• Identify asthma triggers and what to do about them
• Make sense of medications and their side effects
• Work with your child's doctor to get the right care and treatment
• Steadily reduce the amount of medication needed
