When i was in London last spring... - Asthma Message Board

anyways, when i was in london last spring, i was reading a newspaper and the main headline was: "Vaccine for asthma?" it talked about how in some country (can't remember where) there were these people, 1000's of them pouring into this one place where this one group was offering something for htem. Basically what it was was a live fish with this orange paste on it, the people would swallow it whole so that the fish would wiggle its way down and get the paste on the inside of the person's airways. Anyways, it was supposed to work and the group refused to tell people what was in the paste. I was just wondering if anyone had anymore information on this? or someplace where i could read about it again?

thanks

Chris.

When u swallow something, it doesn't go into your airways otherwise u would choke. Sounds disgusting to me!
