I stayed in Great places for that: Grennwich on the water; Zurich near the mountaion and now Arizona and pools time and mountain hiking and glider flights.

The nose improvement was a direct consequence of staying ahead of the asthma and paying attention to lectures and books Etv. Presently steriods is my backup when other items fail. My primary was doing the accupuncture and Tia Chi which oriented me for my walking efficiency I have attained. The book "The carbon Dioxide Syndrome" by Stark and Stark is terrific and the best US speaker, who tours, is Robert Litman. Attached is some info. And I'll do two more attachments.
