Blog Post CommentHi Laura, We are contacting GlaxoSmithKline to get more information about this recall. In the meantime, call your pharmacy and/or doctor to ask them about getting a new inhaler.

Blog Post CommentCould Vitamin D blood levels stem from absorption issues? Or a lack of sun on our skin, aka. outdoor time? Simply adding an isolate to treat symptoms gets us no closer to a remedy of the cause. Dig deep, many times it is less what we add to our bodies and more of what we subtract that brings our systems into homeostasis. #subtractionarymedicine

Blog Post Comment❤️I love those ideas, AAFA and Deb! There are so many cool (non-traditional) gift options out there that can be fun to celebrate and dont bother asthma/allergies: video games, board games, DVDs, or books also make great gifts.
