My son spent a year as an in-patient at National Jewish Hospital in Denver from Dec. 1966 to December 1967, when he was only 8-1/2 years old. From infancy he suffered from allergic asthma and after several hospitalizations for that and also double pneumonia, his pediatrician advised us to send him to NJH.

"The end result is that we really don't know that there's any specific diet, any specific food, that women can take to protect them," said Dr. Anne McTiernan at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

But what about those breast cancer prevention diets - low-fat diets loaded with fruits and vegetables? The Institute for Cancer Research actually tells patients these foods "can fight cancer at several stages."


They do wonderful work there, teaching individuals to live with their condition and helping to desensitize them to many allergens. Within 3 months of returning to the Chicago area, his health began to slip and tho he'd normally not advise moving a drier climate, his pedicatrician asked us to consider it. We had a home, good jobs we enjoyed and friends who were like family but there was no other choice -- our son's health was on the line.

My husband investigated Arizona, I had investigated Denver and then my husband got a job offer in New Mexico. By July, 1968, we had moved to a community where we knew not one soul. Our son thrived; no, the allergies haven't disappeared, and a few new ones cropped up, but high humidity and pollution in the Chicago area exacerbated an existing condition. He's a black belt in karate, an entrepeneur, a percussionist AND he has a cat (we'd always had one or two cats and his doctor advised us it would be more harmful to him psychologically to get rid of the pets because he'd long been desensitized to our pets.)

I also have asthma which first appeared while I was pregnant with my oldest son, and every time the barometer rose, my asthma was exacerbated. Of course, I'd been a smoker, and even tho I quit in 1982, I'm paying the price now, having to deal with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for the rest of my life.
