I am an asthma sufferer who is allergic to pollen (big time) and
possibly to dust. I am trying to convert my (small) bedroom into an
"oasis" of clean air to sleep in. So far I've installed a fancy HEPA
filter that recirculates air, I made the windows and the doors air-
tight, and I moved all furniture/stuff out except for the bed. I
checked the air with a laser particle counter, and after 15 min of the
HEPA working at the highest speed the amount of ~1 micron particles in
the air goes down by a facor of 10 compared to the outside air. Great.

The problem is that I don't have any ventilation in the room. And I am
paranoid to leave the windows open. So I am thinking that perhaps the
HEPA recirculating filter I bought was a mistake, and perhaps I
should've installed some sort of a filter that takes the air from the
outside, filters teh air, and blows the air in. What would be the most
affordable way of doing that (under 1k?)? The room is about 12x16
feet, standard height. Wouldn't an outdoor HEPA require replacement
more often than an indoor HEPA? Besides, I rent my house, so, I can't
build/break walls and all that. Minimum impact preferred.

Hi,
Do you use puffer? Do you drink milk? Do you control your diet to
minimize the suffering? Do you do regular whole body cleansing to
increase the allergen tolerance? Ever tried a supplement called Ivy
Calm(American Ivy extract in syrup form; made in Swiss). I became a
chartered Herbalist to help my son was born with a bad case of asthma.
He used to carry puffer until about 10 years old, now at 23 he is
normal. He plays ice hockey, saxophone. Diet played a BIG part of making
him out of asthma. There are many, many good natural supplements.
Nature's Way makes product called HAS, there is another one, Bronchial
formula by Dr. Christopher out of Utah. Ever tried things like these?
