Abstract
FEDOSEEV and colleagues, Eastern Europe researched the treatment of bronchial asthma with dietary therapy.
Background
Methodology
10 bronchial asthmatic (BA) patients were assigned to the control group, who were treated with conventional medicine, 10 BA patients were assigned to absolute diet therapy (group 1) and 10 BA patients were treated with absolute diet therapy combined with wheat herb juice (group 2). The patients from all three groups were assessed for their tolerance to 12 antibiotics of different classes and a number of immunity factors using diagnostic methods which included a case history, humoral and cellular immunity defense system tests, chemical erythrogram, and leukocyte migration inhibition tests.
Results
Compared with the control group, Groups 1 and 2 showed increased tolerance of antibiotics, as well as changes in humoral defense, particularly in immunoglobulin E.
Conclusion
Drug tolerance may be a therapeutic criterion of absolute diet therapy in bronchial asthma patients. Fedoseev GB et al. Absolute diet therapy and antibiotic tolerance in bronchial asthma patients. Ter Arkh 68(80): 28-31. 1996.

Comment
I find this research abstract somewhat imponderable. Unfortunately, many foreign language publications come only with an English language abstract, and in this instance there is no institutional affiliation. Perhaps readers other than myself will understand what absolute diet therapy means and can enlighten the rest of us?
