I appreciate the time you take to respond to comments. Perhaps I'll look into some of these powders to add to smoothies. Great info! Thanks, Lindsay.

All the other superfoods are extremely reasonable and well worth incorporating into your diet. I spent $3 for a pound of kelp powder for example.

Is it simply an oral dose? Or would you add it to something else? I would love to where you found this information if you remember. Thank you Annie! I will consider this.

We had them on zopenex and pulmicort via nebulizer, and singulair and often prednisone and antibiotics. And they were still sick more than not. Naturally I started looking into other alternatives. I started them on cod liver oil and coconut oil, and I kid you not they did not get sick with respiratory problems all winter. Now if they do get a cold, they get over it with out all the extra meds. Not sure if this would work with adults with asthma, but I swear by it for our kids! My two sons (5 and 3)had chronic respiratory infections and asthma (their only triggers being colds and illness).

I did try flax oil once...but it went rancid waaaay before I could use it. :( I have a post on precautions in buying and storing flax seeds AND oil here: http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2009/06/09/how-to-use-and-store-flax-seeds-and-flax-oil/ (I learned my lesson!) I'm also posting tomorrow on my new favorite place to buy coconut oil in bulk... Someday I’ll have the $ to add some of these to our diet – for now, real food is all I can afford!

We try to include most of those in our diet when we can! One great way to use Nutritional Yeast is to sprinkle it on popcorn! I make popcorn as usual, with melted butter and sea salt, and then sprinkle a bit of the yeast as well. It's got kind of a rich, cheesy taste to it. We all love it, and I rarely make popcorn without it. It's also quite good on pasta! That’s a great list of superfoods. We try to include most of those in our diet when we can!
