		<description><![CDATA[It is said that “diseases do not read textbooks !!” Most asthma patients have the typical symptoms of asthma as we have discussed in the previous newsletter.

		<description><![CDATA[The basic problem in asthma is that the air tubes of the patient are “over-sensitive”. There is a very nice word in hindi for this: “chid chida”. So the airways of an asthmatic are like a touch me not plant or chhui mui. They react to environmental factors like temperature variations, dust, pollens, pollution and [&#8230;]]]></description>
