Cure Asthma -- Go Deaf
Scotwise reports that a young man has cured his asthma by learning to play the bagpipes.
A TEENAGER has managed to cure his asthma by playing the bagpipes Richard Humphries, 13, struggled to control the illness for years, until stumbling across the unlikely remedy by accident.Now don't get me wrong -- I love the pipes.

Being in a small room with them can put one's hearing at risk.
