Discussions of Environmental Science and Human Ecology were developed
by Environmed Research Inc. Sechelt, B.C. Canada. Online Topics were
developed from the book, Air and Breathing. This book helps you understand air quality issues,
normal breathing and the causes of breathing disorders. You will find
detailed information about the atmosphere, air pollution and climate
change, airborne infection, air quality and airborne hazards at home. Click the

Not all respiratory diseases are caused by airborne pathogens. If asthma, bronchitis
and/or nose sinus congestion is chronic or attacks occur frequently in all seasons
and are not related to airborne exposure, then consider delayed pattern food allergy
as the cause and do diet revision using the Alpha Nutrition Program.
You can order a starter pack which included the book, Air and Breathing, the Alpha
Nutrition Program and a small jar of Alpha ENF for evaluation.
