    No matter how many books I read or how many long and complicated videos I watch, I always come and absorb everything from YOURS. Your videos always make everything so simple and logical. It takes a lot of talent to achieve that. I have always been confused between the treatment of asthma and copd. You managed to erase years of confusion on my part in just a few minutes with clear visual explanation. THANKS A LOT!!!

    Why on earth did 116 give a thumbs down? This gentleman couldn't have described it easier on how to use this inhaler. The instructions are nowhere near as good as this gentleman who described and showed you how to use the Easybreathe inhaler! Many thanks!

    Wow! After years of treatment for COPD and much reading and attempt at understanding YOU have made it so simple. I now much more clearly appreciate what medications I am taking and why. Since this is 2017 and you refer to newer medications coming combining all three I am hopeful that I am going to the website and see such inhalers as breo ellipta combinations addressed. No matter either way your video was extremely enlightening to me as a patient.

    Around nine years ago I had really bad asthma and was prescribed oral corticosteroid tablets (beclomethasone). After a few days I started to experience significant visual distortions. My GP sent me to the eye clinic at the local hospital where I had various tests done, including retinal scans.

    My mind is blown. Thank you. I have been trying to figure out these inhalers for weeks now.

    Wow, nice job. So easy to understand. Thank you. I had severe asthma 40 years ago, beginning in my early thirties. I used Albuterol 20-30 times per week, just to stay alive. Doc kept trying to add Advair (now I can see he should have added ICS alone first), and that would start to help after a week, but after a couple weeks I seemed to get dependent on Advair, and if I didn't take it, I got more chronic. Also, I started to get throat irritation from the Advair. So, I continued to survive on the SABA, but tried to limit it when possible. After 10-20 years of trying things like breathing and diets, I gradually improved, and now have not used drugs for years, and have no sense of asthma, unless I get in mold or cat dander, and then it will start to come on. Doc told me at time that ICS had long term side effects, and now I know that it may have harmed me on the long term, and I was lucky to stay away. But the drug companies probably would say I would have gotten better quicker if I used ICS. I point this out because this looks easy from the doc's point of view, but it can be a nightmare from the patient's point of view, and knowing what I know now, I would put a lot more effort into studying alternative treatments. Keto diet might help - I seemed to get complete relief one time when I accidentally got into ketosis. Also, breathing out and delaying breathing back in seemed to help over a couple months. Seems that pasta (maybe glucose) made it worse.
