英文摘要 | Bronchial asthma is becoming an epidemic in Western countries, with up to 25% of children under ten being diagnosed as asthmatic or have asthmatic like episodes. This trend has also occurred in Taiwan. Although, there is major process both in the understanding of diseases mechanisms and symptoms control, the "complete cure" for allergy and asthma in childhood still is far from satisfied. Moreover, asthma can be a life-threatening condition and almost all asthmatics will take prescribed medications, in the other way, at the same time seek alternativec therapies (complementary medicine), and/or more unfortunately to heresy. Sometime, this phenomenal is formed partly form traditional culture background in the society, and partly from our physician's negative attitudes toward the nature of repetitive attack of asthma, and the explanation of chance of "cure" asked by parents. Unfortunately, the holistic view of heath is regarded with suspicion by many physician, while believed by general population, as it does not rely on technological intervention in the body which can be measured and controlled. It is difficult to demonstrate repeatable results using many alternative therapies. This does not mean they do not work-but they may work better for some people than other. The conflict between the parents and doctors will make the situation worse that create "no-win" state for both side. In the present talk, I would like to review the past mis-understanding of childhood asthma, and the myth in the prevention and treatment of this chronic disease. After that, the new therapeutic agents at the present and new biotechnological techniques for asthma research and treatment will be presented and discussed. Therefore, orthodox medicine and complementary medicine have different approaches to treating asthma. But there should be no controversy about who is right or who is wrong. For the sake of asthmatics we feel it would be better if a spirit of co-operation and collaboration existed instead. Asthma management Should encompass all aspects of a person and their condition. |
