Do you actually have any idea of how much the opinion of various doctors differs? Do you really think they all AGREE on treatments? Don't you know the opinions of ALL professionals differ widely?
Until I became a CPA, I never realized this. Now I get to review the workpapers of other "professionals" and sometimes the work is so bad that it's horrifying. Tax returns and valuations of companies that are complete works of fiction and fraud so blatant that a child could spot it! On my last audit, the previous accountant just made up an "asset" in the amount of $27 million that didn't exist--and I had to report my findings to several governmental regulatory agencies, while explaining to them it wasn't my client's fault--but rather that they had "trusted" their former accountant. This isn't an occasional occurance--it happens all the time!
I no longer place any trust fully in any one person's "opinion".
So you go on the internet to get medical advice from CPAs? I think I'll go to WebMD for 401k advice...
BTW: Most drugs purchased from Canada are manufactured in the US, it's that the CDN government negociates drug costs for the country-we don't consider people's ill health "business growth and opportunity". For every Pharma dollar spent on research, $1.50 is spent on advertising and $3 is spent on legal fees. Profits are huge.
Seriously, asthma is serious, but treatable with real prescription drugs such as inhaled corticosteroids, but you need to be accessed properly with lung volume measure and challenge tests. Allergies can actually be alleviated by excercise, adrenaline is a good treatment for inflammation. But this will not stop asthma.
