Abstract
Ten patients with exercise-induced asthma were placed on an elimination program of inhalants, skin applications and foods to identify any triggers which were associated with bronchospasm. After removing these triggers the patients showed a significant increase of lung function without bronchospasm on exercise. The outcome of those patients who could be traced 1-2 years later, is given, and exercise tests, explained. These findings are compared with findings of other researchers world-wide
