First Non-Drug Asthma Treatment Tested

First Non-Drug Asthma Treatment Tested - Yahoo! News: "In a radical experiment, doctors are snaking wires inside the lungs of asthma patients to essentially burn off some of the tissue that blocks their ability to breathe. "

A procedure which may or may not be effective.

Think I'll stick to my Advair, thank you!

Although, note that this procedure is used as a last resort for serious asthma suffers who don't respond to meds. So, actually this treatment, however extreme, could save lives.
