Very important study and article by great writer and incredible local organization that highlights important aspects of a multi-facted challenge.

Besides highlighting instituional inmjustices that lead to health and other degradations in our qualities of life, from housing conditions to the placement of polluting facilities, our movement as whole is now ready to approach a variety of issues from another perspective.

Another method of personal empowerment that can achieve rapid results is one that considers nutrition, food and physical activity, complemented by meditation.

What about a review a comparison of diet and nutrition intake from sample classes in the South Bronx, alongside classes with diet and nutrrion enhancements. With a practice of yoga and outddor, connecting with the earth activity. Maybe someone out there will pick up this theme.

No doubt, nutrition plays an important role in health and well-being. guaranteed that a high percentage of those diagnosed with asthma consume dairy, meat, sugar and white flour products on the regular, with a low intake of fresh green vegetables. A high rate of television watching will be revealed. Can we attend to theses factes of health, promote studies long these lines and identity easy to imoplement and cost effetive solutions ot the expensive and costly pharmeceutical regimes that are now being imposed on our youth, while instyilling fear in them form being more active and about than they could still be in the great outdoors.

eat greens, radishes, drink lemonade with honey or agave nectar to break down mucus and mullein tea helps greatly,

This is not to say that the important issues raised in Mr Friedmans writings above do not deserve further exposure and sound integrated pest mangament procedures by NYCHA and other respnsible city agencies whihc should have been implented already. Or that we should not look to have fair share of waste yransfer and power plants throughout the city, including opening the MTS site on the Upper east Side. But if we as a movement start to look at our own lifestyle and ways in which we can enhance our happiness and effectiveness as purveyors of harmony and justice, we may see that we are indeed what we eat.

Harry those are good points but as someone who has lived in Bushwick and other low income places, I can tell you that there is nowhere to buy healthy food and what exists is expensive.

The East Brooklyn Greenmarket is wonderful but most poor neighborhoods don't have one.

And schools don't have gym class anymore.

Health care system in my country also needs some major changes and the government ought to play its role to improve the health care systems.

good point.. should we wait for others to provide our needs, or act collectively to fulfill them?

A study reported today in the February issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology states that African-Americans are five times more likely to die from asthma than whites and four times more likely to be hospitalized as a result of the condition. While both black and white death rates increased recently, the increase amoung blacks was much greater.

Racial differences in prevailance of asthma continue to be strong as well. Puerto Ricans Native Americans, and non-Hispanic blacks have the highest rates.
