Swallowing live fish to cure Asthma?

methinks it is the strict diet that helps cure the asthma instead of the fish.  Japanese and Chinese often swallow live fish and octopus too, but for culinary purpose.

I had asthma problems since I was an infant. In January of this year my wife and I eliminated all wheat from our diets and a surprising side benefit was 100% clearing of my sinuses. No cortical steroids or antihistamines or decongestants for the past 5 months. Now it is easier to smell the salmon on the grill.
