I saw a documentary on it in Australian tv. Checked it out and one lady in the documentary claimed she used to use 2 inhalers a day now after the procedure she doesn't need any inhalers. What it does it kills the nerves that control the muscles that constrict your airways. I followed it up at a hospital in Sydney that was on the documentary and it was still in the experimental stage only 12 people had received the treatment at that time about 4 yrs ago.
