Hi Vin, I have a similar story with my 15 year old daughter . She developed allergies & runny nose seasonally when she was 12 & it progressed to heavy chest with colds twice a year needing a puffer to last November a constant tickle when breathing & some restrictiveness . She started a puffer & allergic pill & nose spray & even a pill for asthma before we got to a specialist . She is a mild case but our family Dr. Wouldn't listen to us .( I since have found a new one) . The specialist took away all mess & put her on a preventer puffer twice a day . She needed it to be comfortable & live her life normal . Was I happy No ! Stressed all winter before we got to the specialist Yes! Did I want her to treat with Boaz? Yes but she refused to & was scared her diet was going to be restrictive & I couldn't force her to. Finally in July she agreed to treat more locally with a lady who has a traditional Chinese medicine degree DTCM we are working with herbs & acupuncture . Matia approved her qualifications for me . We have gone 4 times & as of at the present I have been able to reduce her puffer by 25% . Slow but hopefully sure. I hope by getting rid of some of her dampness( Chinese terms) we transition in late fall her e better as that's when she starts coughing & her nose runs . She stays away from processed foods & supposed to stay away from most nuts especially peanuts . We eat well but a 15 year old still wants some sugar. Hopefully we will see results . But I have to realize I have to not nag all the time about food & have to keep my stress about her asthma low key ( because of our IC I worry about chronic conditions & it just being the beginnings of more health issues ) . & this drives her nuts . I have to keep a good rel'ship with her as what is worse a puffer or a mental health condition .Good luck with your son if he would treat with Boaz results would likely be amazing ! 

Hello Vin,  while I have no experience with asthma, I do have an 11 yr old son who is in treatment with Boaz.  Before treatment, he had long term constipation, was suffering from migraines and was allergic to dust and cats. His GP wanted to put him on a daily laxative (she said it wasn't addictive and that it would be no problem to be on it for life!?! and his allergist wanted to put him on medication.  At that point I began seeing Dr. Brizman on my son's behalf.  As he wasn't seeing the Dr. for IC, there was no need for an in person visit. There have been a couple of times that my son has been home during an appointment and he has had to cough into the phone.  When my son was unhappy about taking supplements, I had him speak to Boaz to understand why they were good for him. His constipation cleared up (it took quite a long time), his migraines are way less frequent  and his constant cough is gone.  Dr. Brizman has a great bedside manner with my guy and there have been a couple of times that he has gotten through to my son in a way I couldn't.  Both my husband and I are happy to have gone this route.  So is my son.  Once he started to feel better, he wanted to stay on the protocol and diet.  Kids are very malleable and adaptable.  I would ask Boaz at your next appointment if he successfully treats childhood asthma and if so, have at least an appointment to hear what his treatment plan would be so you could compare it to what your son's treatment is now. If you are on the fence, I would do it now instead of down the road.  Jeannie above makes a good point - a parent will have less chance of getting a 15 year old to be compliant than a 12 year old. Also, I booked back to back appointments with Boaz so that I had an hour to discuss both myself and my son.  I found this to be very productive as sometimes my condition took up more than 1/2 an hour and other times my son's did. While the process was expensive (my son's appointments were approximately every 3 weeks) I'm glad we invested in it as my son has learned to care for himself to prevent migraines and if one happens how to deal with it on his own. He also is cognizant of how what he eats affects him.. Great skills for the long run  Good luck with your son.
