<s>[INST] Is there a cure for asthma? I've heard or read about people who were cured. [/INST] There is no cure for asthma, though there is a lot of research being carried out now in the areas of indoor and outdoor pollution, allergies, gene therapy, cell biology, and chemistry, just to name a few. The results of these studies will help us understand more about why this disease happens, and how we can control it even better.The people who have claimed to be cured may be in one of those "quiet times" common in asthma, when there is a lot of time between asthma attacks. They have not really been cured, and their asthma symptoms could come back at any time, especially if they are not taking their asthma medications as they should. Source: AIM.
