 If your body is already highly toxic and congested, you may even develop a lung infection. lung infections occur to help destroy and remove any damaged, weak lung cells that otherwise would start rotting or have already been decomposed (pus formation). lung congestion prevents the natural removal of damaged or weak cells. If the congestion is not cleared up through natural means, or if it increases further through poor dietary habits, the pus will be trapped in the lung tissue. |

 Inside the lungs we have goblet cells that produce a mucus blanket, preventing drying of the lung walls and trapping particulate matter. The lungs also have ciliated cells, which beat at 1,000 to 1,500 cycles per minute in an upward motion. Together these two systems work to help clear particulate matter that enters the lungs from our air. Damage to either of these two systems can result in too little mucus and inability of the cilia to move, resulting in an accumulation of foreign matter in the lungs, some eventually making its way into the bloodstream. |

| Lung infections occur to help destroy and remove any damaged, weak lung cells that otherwise would start rotting or have already been decomposed (pus formation). lung congestion prevents the natural removal of damaged or weak cells. If the congestion is not cleared up through natural means, or if it increases further through poor dietary habits, the pus will be trapped in the lung tissue. Naturally, destructive bacteria will increasingly populate the scene to assist the body in its desperate effort to clear up this congested area, which comprises decomposing cells and other waste products. |

 Yet it is reported that most people barely use one-fifth of the lung's capacity.
The secret to deep breathing is to copy the way babies breathe, using the diaphragm to create suction that pulls the air into the lungs. When the diaphragm expands and flattens moving downward, it produces suction within the chest cavity that causes the inflow of air into the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes and rises, air is forced out of the lungs. Both operations are of equal importance . . . inhalation to bring in life-giving oxygen . . . exhalation to expel every bit of carbon dioxide.
Here's what you do. |

 The officials of metal are the lung and colon. The lung is the official of "rhythmic order" who sets the pace of our entire system through inhalation and exhalation. This official provides exchange between inner and outer and is where the balance of giving and receiving is found. Associated with air, the lung official receives inspiration from the heavens, refreshing us on all levels and giving us a strong sense of vital essence. The colon is the official of "drainage and dregs" whose job is to clean house. |

 Amiodarone, a drug used to treat heart arrhythmia, has been shown to cause severe lung diseases, from interstitial pneumonitis — swelling of the spaces between the lung's air sacs, causing oxygen starvation — to solitary lung mass. Methotrexate, a common drug for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, can weaken the lungs' natural protective pathways and allow for opportunistic infections. Aspirin and traditional anti-inflammatories can also encourage bronchial irritation by inhibiting COX-1, which, as it turns out, is also responsible for slowing down bronchial stress. |

 Chronic lung congestion indicates that the other eliminative channels are not doing their job. ... Either wastes are being produced faster than the normal capacity of all eliminative channels to get rid of them, or one or more of the eliminative channels is under-active. We need to ask why the lungs and bronchials are congested. We need to know what is going on in the other eliminative channels. To clean out the lungs and bronchial tubes, we need to develop a clean bloodstream and lymphatic system. To clean up the blood and lymph, we will have to take care of the bowel. |

 Because of possible damage to the lungs, you should have your lung function checked six months after starting to use inhalable insulin, and then every year thereafter. Furthermore, if you currently need injectable insulin, inhaled insulin can be used at mealtime, but not as a replacement for your longer-acting injections.
Although we are enthusiastic about the mealtime convenience of inhaled insulin, there remain residual, open-ended questions about the possible long-term effects this type of insulin delivery system may have on the lungs. |

 Back then the idea of sensitivity to the environment was pretty far out — except we had seen it in lung patients. The lung is open to the outside, and every surgeon knows that environmental pollutants affect the lungs. Every surgeon knows about asbestos causing cancer of the lungs, cigarette smoke causing cancer of the lungs. You'd see black lung disease, valley fever, on and on. So the idea of sensitivity to the environment wasn't foreign to us, even though it was foreign to everybody else. To us it was common sense. |

 For example, he had been a smoker, and the lung Driver remedy had an immediate effect on his lung system. For a few days he coughed up thick mucus, perhaps from the cadmium and other tobacco-based toxins that had accumulated over the years from smoking. Soon, however, he felt that he could breathe freely and deeply again, something he had not felt in nearly a decade.
The energetic correction to his nervous system resulted in subtler kinds of reactions. Harry said, "I noticed a really peculiar change. |

| In addition, roses can deter infection in the digestive tract and lungs as well as the cold and flu virus with aggravating symptoms of runny nose, sore throat, and lung congestion. Rose's decon-gesting quality carries into the reproductive system, relieving painful, heavy menstruation, irregularity, and infertility. Rose is also used for impotence in both men and women, not only on the physical level, but aiding in the emotional component of sexual insecurity. |

 At age four he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. My daughter and I desperately sought help for my grandson. We read many books with alternate approaches to combat cancer and wrote letters to many authors.
We never received answers. We contacted the Metropolitan Wellness Center in New York City. They were the only facility that responded. Luanne Pennesi requested my grandson's medical records. She felt the child's parents and I would learn and benefit from a Gary Null lecture. At that time my grandson's x-ray showed two frightening spots on his lungs.
We spoke to Gary. |

 Fetuses do "breathe" while in their mother's womb, but they're actually sucking in amniotic fluid, not air, which forms a crucial part of their lung development.) When babies are delivered conventionally, they take their first breath of air as soon as they feel air on their face; sometimes, if they get in a big breath before the doctor can clean their face, this causes them to inhale fecal matter or "birthing residue" that can cause an infection in their lungs—aspiration pneumonia. |

 To get an indication of how toxic it is to our lungs, you only have to go back to the reason why it was used as a weaponized gas in the First World War—a powerful lung irritant, it disabled people by targeting their lungs. This is why people who work around and swim regularly in pools that use chlorine as a water disinfectant are thought to be more prone to developing asthma.
Due to the powerful role that chemicals play in triggering asthma, it is a good idea to generally reduce your overall exposure to these toxins (see chapter 3). |

 However, studies have clearly shown that former smokers and nondrinkers do benefit from beta-carotene and have a lower risk of developing lung cancer when taking supplements. In addition, several studies suggest that a combination of antioxidants, including natural beta-carotene, is associated with a lower risk of lung cancer. Natural beta-carotene supplements are preferable to the synthetic form, because they contain some alpha-carotene, which appears to protect against lung cancer. |

| It was found that children who grow up with smokers in their homes are three times more likely to develop lung cancer in their later years than those who come from non-smoking homes.
The study results pointed to a definite link between lung cancer and passive smoking:
¦ 97 people developed lung cancer.
¦ 20 more had related cancers, such as cancer of the larynx.
¦ 14 died from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
¦ Ex-smokers faced up to twice the risk of respiratory diseases from passive smoke than those who had never smoked.34

| Cancers of the prostate and breast will be the most frequently diagnosed cancers in men and women, respectively, followed by lung and colorectal cancers both in men and in women. Overall, the most common cancers—skin, lungs, breasts, kidneys, colorectal and prostate—are organs of excretion. It's possible that toxin accumulation for purpose of excretion may be a clue as to the connection between toxins and excretory organs. |

 There are potential concerns about using beta-carotene by itself, especially in women who are at higher risk for lung cancer. As a precaution, I avoid beta-carotene supplementation in women at high risk for lung cancer (smokers), and for everyone else, I only recommend products that have mixed carotenes and natural carotenes. Careful label reading is essenrial. If the label doesn't say "natural," then the product has synthetic beta-carotene.
Do not be alarmed if your skin turns an orange tint when supplementing with high amounts of carorenes. |

| What's more, Peter has found that many parasites, or their energetic field signatures, gravitate to Energetic Integrator 2 and may spend part of their life cycles in the lungs or liver, so this Integrator may show up in a NES scan for that reason rather than because of any distortions in the lung or heart fields.
Energetic Integrator 2 also links to the germinal layers of the fetus: the ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. So, it may be an important bioenergetic connection to embryological development. |

 In dehydration, lung tissue becomes very vulnerable. The air sacs in the lungs have very thin walls and need water to keep them moist at all times. The constant flow of air through these sacs also evaporates the available water in their lining. Dehydration automatically reduces the amount of available water in these tissues and causes damage, unless the rate of airflow is reduced. In essence, this is the rationale behind the blockage of airflow through the lungs in asthmatics. Histamine is responsible for cutting down the rate of airflow through the lungs. |

 Both had suddenly developed ferocious lung infections. Doctors gave them vancomycin, an extremely powerful antibiotic that is considered a medicine of last resort. But the infection had continued to eat away their lungs.
Soon cases of community-acquired MRSA—that is, one in which a person had been infected with the germ somewhere outside the hospital?
were surfacing all over the country. The superbug had moved into homes, locker rooms, gyms, day care centers, or just about anywhere bacteria grow.
As the drug-resistant pathogen spread, it attacked both the weak and the strong. |

 Kwaku Osafo-Mensah, a young lung specialist from Ghana who'd come to Albuquerque five years earlier after medical training at UCLA and Stanford, was rushed in to consult on Jan's case. Drawing the beige hospital curtains closed around her makeshift room in the busy ER, Osafo-Mensah quickly explained to Jan and David that even though Jan had been on blood thinners, X-rays showed that she had lost two more areas of lung. Her EKG had as many spikes and valleys as the Swiss Alps. Jan and David were terrified. |

 Notice that advocates working to reduce smoking rates are in the field of "tobacco control," not "lung cancer" or "emphysema." (Among the few exceptions are the American lung Association and American Cancer Society, but these are organizations that mainly prefer to play it safe politically.) Just as lung cancer is one result of smoking (a bad habit encouraged by the savvy marketing strategies of the tobacco industry), obesity is one result of poor diet (another bad habit fostered by the equally manipulative marketing practices of the food industry). |

 Big Tobacco's suppression of scientific evidence
At the same time that JAMA ran cigarette ads, it published in 1950 the first major study to causally link smoking to lung cancer. Morton Levin, then director of Cancer Control for the New York State Department of Health, surveyed patients in Buffalo, N.Y., from 1938 to 1950 and found that smokers were twice as likely to develop lung cancer as non-smokers.
Cigarette producers may have hoped that the public would remain unaware of studies published in medical journals. |

| One of the consequences of overactivity of histamine in the lungs may be the occurrence of an inflammatory process at a time when the development of lung tissue has to keep up with the physical growth of the body. Excessive fibrous tissue formation and the creation of cysts where alveoli have to be formed may be the consequence of dehydration in children who are growing. It seems that cystic fibrosis of the lungs may not be an entirely genetic disorder, but may have dehydration as a common basic problem to both the DNA assembly system and lung tissue formation. |
