Greetings everyone!
During the last several years I have had the opportunity to carefully
observe and study a number of diseases that occur in the United States
population, but less often or not at all in other countries. After
much persistence, I finally "stumbled" onto a significant discovery
concerning our habitual use of footwear since birth, a seemingly
irrelevant topic because almost everyone in the United States
considers shoes to be harmless. Nonetheless, please keep an open mind
to the possibility that scientists and doctors (even the smartest
Nobel Prize winners) have all overlooked something common as the cause
of widespread disease during the last two hundred years.
Chiropodist Dr. Simon J. Wikler first proposed in the early 1950's
that shoes are a cause of degenerative disease in humans because of
the inherent changes to our posture and gait. I believe that his
novel idea was the tip of a gigantic iceberg, and I have expanded his
discoveries to include many diseases with "no known cause", including
seemingly-unrelated conditions such as heart disease, cancer,
depression, obesity, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, asthma,
osteoporosis and even Alzheimer's disease to name but a few. You may
find the complete text and pictures of my explanation, including my
thoughts on a possible "cure" and prevention for these conditions, at
my aptly-named website:

As everyone on this newsgroup knows by now, the cause of asthma is
completely unknown, even to today's best doctors. It seems to me that
we may be standing right on top of the answer: shoes. Asthma was rare
or nonexistent in the United States prior to the Industrial
Revolution, which mass-produced the modern shoe in the mid 1800's.
Even today, asthma is rare or nonexistent in countries that use little
footwear, such as Africa. Dr. Wikler believed that the habitual use
of shoes causes dramatic changes to the respiratory system, making it
vulnerable to allergens that normally would have little or no effect
on the body.
Asthma has been affecting many younger ages than in the past, and I
believe that the modern sneaker accounts for this change. Have you
ever tried to bend a modern toddler's sneaker in half? But the feet
of children need to move around for full development of their feet and
body, taking 20,000 steps a day as kids. Modern sneakers are
literally platform shoes, many times with an elevated heel, and they
weigh a lot more than a simple leather shoe. In my opinion, a person
should be able to permanently relieve asthma by "removing the cause."
If shoes are indeed the cause, then switching to soft-soled moccasins,
applying postural correction and going barefoot as much as possible,
should produce beneficial results.
I am extremely interested in all discussion concerning these ideas,
and welcome any opinions, skepticism, comments, feedback or any
questions, here in the newsgroups or directly to me. Thank you very
much. :-)
