This has worked for me but isn’t a guide for everyone. I researched for months and tweaked things along the way.I am not on ventolin myself, but I know someone who needs it occasionally and uses a less powerful asthma inhaler regularly, so I'd be interested to know how you did it.
There was a study done of Vitamin D levels in people admitted to hospital with CV-19, and a high proportion were found to be low on that vitamin. Furthermore, those who progressed to intensive treatment showed an even more prominent lack of vitamin _D!
The conclusion was that this was interesting, and might help researchers to work out the mechanism by which it worked, but that people shouldn't go off and dose themselves with Vitamin-D, which is obviously what I and my partner now do! How crazy can they get in the midst of an epidemic.
There is an NHS doctor who lives a few miles from us, and he blogs about cardiovascular problems, and other things like COVID-19 as they come up. It is worth reading his book, provided you are willing to tolerate (or skip) some statistical arguments:
https://www.amazon.com/Doctoring-Data-medical-advice-nonsense-ebook/dp/B00TCG3X4S/
He and a large following of other doctors basically follow this:
1) Cholesterol levels have nothing to do with cardiovascular disease, except possibly extremely high levels that are way out of the range where doctors want to treat you.
2) Saturated fats are good for you - better than polyunsaturated products, and the main food to avoid is sugar, and excessive consumption of carbohydrates (because they break down into sugars as you digest them).
3) The treatment for high cholesterol, statins, is very effective at lowering cholesterol, but causes a range of other problems. The only time as an adult that I have had any serious medical problem was with statins. Obviously I don't take them any more. It was only because of my problems with statins that I found Dr Kendrick's blog.

4) Many type-2 diabetics can be recover and be free of medicine if they eat a high fat, low carb diet. What is the official advice to such people - you guessed it - a low fat, high carb diet.
Most of the reason for this state of affairs seems to be that the pharmaceutical companies make billions out of selling their drugs.
Unless they read around a bit, I don't think many doctors realise what is wrong - after all they pass on what they learned in medical school, and their time is occupied with the job. Above all, it is the people who produce the guidelines and the medical charities that support research and get huge grants from the pharmaceutical companies!
The string theory stuff is impossible for me to read, but after studying it for 40 years, physicists are starting to realise string theory doesn't lead anywhere.
Cosmology absolutely depends on Hubble's law (it isn't a law just an observation), which translates the red shift of stars and galaxies into the speed they are travelling away from us, and hence their distance. That is where those statements about the age of the univerese being 13.8 billion years come from. Then along came Halton Arp, a student of Hubble, who produced a lot of evidence that those red shifts sometimes come from another cause. If true the whole ediface of cosmology would collapse! Guess what they did - they tried to stop him getting telescope time, and hindered his work in any way possible. Unfortunately, he died in 2012.
I have come across that guy, and I have to say, I think he is a bullshitter, but that saying is attributed to Terence McKenna I think.
Honestly, even if they had, I wouldn't have believed it by now!
Finally, of course, you have the implacable resistance of science to any concept of psychic phenomena.
Science is in a real mess. I think at some stage someone will have to scrap a large chunk of research 'results' after (say) 1960, and start again.

I was on Ventolin, Atrovent, Seretide and Zoloft. My blood sugar was high, not a diabetic but heading that way.
I consume foods that adhere to ketogenic principles. This isn’t paleo, a lot of people think they are the same but Keto is about low carbs, lots of vegetables and lots of natural fat. Paleo is more about meat. As I had been a vegetarian for most of my life, I couldn’t do that but I’ve seen this dramatically heal others.
I don’t eat wheat or sugar. They are inflammatory.
I eat clean, meaning organic, free range and filter fluoride and chloride out of my water. I don’t want weed killers and toxic substances in my food.
It isn’t that expensive since I don’t buy processed junk anymore. Also my meds had cost one weeks food allowance per month.
I’ve primarily been taking Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2, Zinc, Kelp, Trace minerals and Magnesium for over a year. These are the ones I’ll stay on for life.
I take Camu Camu for vitamin C or eat a red capsicum a day. They contain whole vitamin C not a synthetic like absorbic acid. This way my body doesn’t need to take other elements from within to make the Vit C work.
Slowly, over months I introduced intermittent fasting and now eat once a day. (I don’t get hungry as I did this gradually.) This is for autophagy. There’s a plethora of medical studies backing the results. It makes sense, our primal ancestors didn’t eat 3 meals with snacks. I think clearer, have better focus & more stamina.
It’s really important to think of food for its vitamins and minerals. Most people only concentrate on calories, protein etc. Most of the worlds soils are depleted. I recently have added Boron and give it to my mother. It’s improving her arthritis.
Once I was on this path for 6 months I decided to look at my medication. For Asthma, I realised a lot of my reaching for ventolin was ingrained. I began deep breathing exercises with yoga and mind focus. Over time I’ve improved my lung capacity and settled my minds reaction for immediate relief. Obviously if I have an attack, I have asthma meds on standby but for me I relied on it to much.
My blood sugar is perfect, whenever I test it. It’s stable and sits just below the recommended standard which is too high in my opinion (as I’ve researched this) Last blood tests showed my good cholesterol was high. It’s a protein not a fat, most don’t realise this.
Hope this info helps your friend :)
I agree the research and bloated organisations don’t do much. As with many, over time they’ve become corrupted. I never hear medical experts talk about the fundamentals of health. It’s all about pushing things they can make money from. Modern medicine is pushed as our greatest saviour but do they ever talk about how sanitation vs vaccines cured a lot of diseases in the past. If people knew what was in vaccines I wonder if they would be so eager to take them. I’ll stick to the natural way I’m healing and improving myself than take a shot that bypasses my innate immune system. They can keep their poison adjuvants and fetal cells. Also there’s a difference in acute and chronic medical intervention. Chronic is where the main issues are. What’s (not) funny is that the third biggest cause of death is medical mistakes. (Might have been moved to fifth since 2016, just had a quick look to verify) I like how side effects are stated that way. Side? Bullshit, it’s an effect. Anyway, I get ranty on health issues as a cousin of mine died 2 years ago from a doctor that was careless during an ablation.
I had said Nassim but it’s a Rupert Sheldrake quote so I corrected it. I like him and some of his ideas. I’m not science literate so I can’t speak on his methods. He’s definitely on the fringe but some of his predictions have been validated. I get why he’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
Hmm changing the course of science is gunna be as difficult as changing the direction of nearly all dogmatic institutions. I’ve been really into researching megalithic stonework (Brian Foerster has great online videos from around the world) it’s so obvious academic archeologists are mostly wrong. Except for a few who follow evidence & not biases. But when you look into why things and people are this way it all comes back to money and fitting in.
