Air and Breathing provide knowledge, helpful in understanding the causes of breathing disorders in children and adults. Disorders of the ears, nose and throat are also discussed.

Indoor air quality issues at home and at work are discussed. Air pollution and airborne causes of lung disease are also discussed with advice about improving indoor and outdoor air quality.

Asthma is a prototype of airway disease, often associated with nose and throat symptoms. We take an approach to asthma that can be applied to all airway disease. In our search for causes of lung diseases, we start with a simple algorithm:

1. The cause is allergy until proven otherwise.
2. Allergy comes from airborne and food sources.
3. Solve airborne disease by improving air quality
