 Those who suffer from chronic bronchitis have a higher risk of developing heart disease. Acute bronchitis generally develops following upper respiratory tract infections and can develop into pneumonia. Symptoms of bronchitis can include difficulty breathing, fever, sore throat, a mucous build-up, and coughing.
It is important to consult a physician to determine the underlying cause of the condition. Enzyme therapy can be used to reduce congestion and inflammation and support the digestive and immune systems. |

 His self-diagnosis was that he was suffering a bronchitis attack. The next day, he was in a meeting at the elementary school where he was the principal, and he felt pressure in his chest. He decided to go to the hospital for some medicine to combat the "bronchitis."
He suspected, before anyone told him, that something was seriously wrong. "Electrocardiograms were taken on a roll of tape back then," Jim recalls. "A cute little nurse walked out without tearing the tape, and it was trailing behind her, unraveling out of the emergency room door. |

 It can also lead to other conditions such as: stroke, lung disease, chronic bronchitis, miscarriages, underweight babies, sudden infant death syndrome (sids), meningitis, and osteoporosis. Over 4,000 different chemical compounds, including heavy metals and pesticides, have so far been found in tobacco smoke. More than 50 of these are known carcinogens and others are suspected mutagens which can cause harmful changes in the genetic material of living cells.12 Visible tobacco smoke represents only about 5 to 8 percent of the chemicals released from a burning cigarette. The rest are invisible. |

 In other cases where recurring bronchitis is the problem, when the additive sulfur dioxide benzoate is removed from the diet, the bronchitis miraculously disappears. You may, in fact, be following a relatively healthy diet but suffering from an irritating or even debilitating illness that could be sorted out just by removing certain additives.
For additives to be used, they must be approved and most countries are comfortable with the American Food and Drug association (FDA) approval. In other words, if the FDA approves it, it must be okay. |

 The French Cardinal Mazarin believed that drinking tea helped treat his gout, and Samuel Pepys recorded in his diary that drinking tea brought his wife relief from colds and bronchitis. But not everyone was a tea enthusiast. In 1678, Henry Saville denounced tea drinking, and in 1756 Jonas Hanway claimed in his Essay on Tea that drinking tea spoiled the good looks of both men and women. At one time there was even a rumor circulating through Europe that tea sapped a person's vitality and that the Chinese exported it in order to weaken their enemies. |

 In the case of whooping cough, croup, asthma or bronchitis, it acts as an expectorant, loosening mucus from the surfaces of the air passages and rapidly clearing them and the lungs of sticky foreign matter.
Lobelia is a strong herb and should never be prepared from home-grown plants. It is available in manufactured remedies from pharmacies. Some over-the-counter anti-smoking preparations and cough mixtures contain lobelia. |
| It would seem it has had most success in treating muscular-skeletal problems, rheumatism and arthritis, bronchitis and asthma.
There are many other magnetic products on the market designed to be worn on acupressure points, but these are not the same as magneton therapy. You can read more about these products in Chapter 10.
Cupping
Cupping is not suitable for children.
Dating back to early Egyptian times, cupping has been used to treat a range of ailments including asthma. |
| Sufferers from asthma, bronchitis, hay fever and catarrh gain considerable relief by regular night-time use of a bedside ioniser. A negative-ion rich environment also seems to help headaches, migraine, insomnia, depression and skin allergies. Recent studies showed that an increase in negative ions in the atmosphere may speed the healing process of wounds, sores and injuries.
Research by Dr Leslie Hawkins at the University of Surrey, UK, showed that levels of the hormone serotonin in the blood, brain and other tissues seemed to be reduced by negative ions. |
| For asthma or bronchitis you could say: 'The breath of life flows easily through my body' or 'I am asthma-free'. If you are striving for relaxation and tranquillity try: 'I am completely at peace' or 'I am happy'. To stop smoking, drinking or eating too much you could use: 'I am a non-smoker', 'Smoking is not good for my body, I have stopped smoking',- 'I am not eating chocolate today' or 'I am not drinking alcohol—it harms my liver'. For self-esteem: 'I am independent and confident'.
It is important that you phrase your affirmation positively and as attainable now. |
| Children's lungs are ultra-sensitive and when constantly exposed to smoke they are more likely to suffer from coughs, bronchitis and respiratory problems, including asthma and pneumonia, and have a greater risk of developing lung cancer. It has been argued that if smoking in the home was stopped, as many as one-third of asthmatic children would be helped.
If you are a smoker, consider what you are doing to your body—wrecking it. You are also wrecking your children's health, and that of people around you. |
| When we get a fever, yin and yang disharmony can cause asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, hay fever and other illnesses. Perhaps confusingly to Western thought, chronic asthma is said to come from a yin deficiency, whereas yang may be deficient when asthma is acute.
Diagnosis is based on a combination of yin and yang patterns and how the symptoms relate to a person's entire body and behaviour pattern. Treatment is then recommended to balance the disharmony of the body's yin and yang. |

 Not only may they be capable of causing inhalation fever, but also they may induce asthmalike responses and symptoms of bronchitis not unlike the early stages of byssinosis.68
Mill fevet and byssinosis, in their original forms, have not disappeared. Occasional epidemics of acute mill fever still occur, such as that reported among the peasants in the Yao-Ji commune in Hubei Province, China, in 1983. A flood in October of that year had inundated the mature cotton, which became overgrown with contaminants as a result. A total of 10,258 cases of cotton fever were recorded as a result. |

 They are used for the treatment of pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis. Five million prescriptions have been written for Ketek (telithromycin). Most common side effects are gastrointestinal: diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting. Headache and disturbances in taste also occur. Less common side effects include palpitations, blurred vision, and rashes. |

| Osteoporosis is also more common in smokers and drinkers and is associated with chronic obstructive lung disorders, such as emphysema and bronchitis. Additional causative factors include lack of exercise, a calcium-phosphorus imbalance, lactose intolerance, and a diminished ability to absorb calcium through the intestines. Approximately 15 to 20 million Americans suffer from this disorder.
While treatments are becoming available, prevention is still the most important way to reduce rhe effects of osteoporosis. |

 ANTIBIOTICS
Let's say you go to the doctor with a bad cold or a case of bronchitis, which is almost always caused by a virus. The doctor tells you that no drug can get rid of what you already have, but he may then write you a prescription for an antibiotic—"to prevent secondary infection," he says. Relieved that there is something you can take, you go fill your script and dutifully take your medication for ten days . . . for an infection that would have gone away by itself, and that the antibiotic probably did nothing to help. |

 Air pollution has been implicated in the causes of asthma, chronic bronchitis, heart attacks, and even cancer. Understanding oxidative stress as the underlying cause of all of these diseases allows us to develop a strategy of protecting ourselves from the damaging effects of air pollution.
We must consider another aspect of air pollution: the occupational exposure to mineral dust such as asbestos fibers. The addition of iron-containing fibers in asbestos can generate even more free radicals. |

| Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, arthritis, bronchitis, heart disease, and cancer, are caused by the continued build-up of waste in the system, and the suppression of acute disease cleansing attempts by wrong treatment.
3 The body has the ability to return to health provided it is given the proper nutrition and conditions to do so.
We don't "catch" diseases. We cause them! We create them by the way we live. We don't "catch" a cold or flu. We actually "earn" it by fostering toxic waste conditions in our bodies, as a result of our lifestyles. |
| It can be related to numbness of the hands and arms, gum disease, high blood pressure, indigestion, colitis, stomach ulcers, diarrhea, nausea, colds, sore throats, shortness of breath, bronchitis, and many other illnesses. One or two cigarettes per day can block the healing processes in a sick body. Nicotine is such a detriment to healing that at least one doctor I know, Dr. Leo Roy, refused to work with patients who continued to smoke.
Refined sugar contains no nutrition for the body. |
| Pasteurized dairy milk contributes to many disease conditions such as: intestinal cramps, diarrhea, constipation, intestinal bleeding, skin conditions, bronchitis, ear infections, tooth decay, arthritis, and asthma. I know of a young mother who was unable to digest milk products. One week, when her new son was five weeks old, she ate a piece of cheese pizza and an ice-cream cone. By the end of that week, her son, who was breastfeeding, began bleeding with each bowel movement. |

 In 1962 the Royal College of Physicians issued a report which concluded that smoking was a health hazard and called for sweeping reforms: "Cigarette smoking is a cause of lung cancer and bronchitis, and probably contributes to the development of coronary heart disease and various other less common diseases."23 In a significant departure from its usual reserved approach, the Royal College recommended that the government not just study the problem but do something about it. |

 BRONCHITIS: Technically, bronchitis is the term for inflammation of the bronchi, the larger breathing tubes that lead from the trachea to the lungs. Therefore, any deep, chesty cough that is not pneumonia can be considered bronchitis. The term is used loosely but usually applies to deep, lingering coughs or to those fairly severe ones accompanied by fever but not diagnosed as pneumonia.
BRONCHIOLITIS: Infection of the bronchioles, the smaller breathing tubes that fan out from the bronchi throughout the lungs. |

| This shuttle gets slowed and can even shut down totally when a person has bronchitis or pneumonia or is a heavy smoker. That is why sick people and smokers cough so hard and often. Their lungs are in a constant state of auto rebellion.
Rats cannot cough. The Brazilian physician researcher Paulo Saldiva showed just how vulnerable rodents can be to the air around them. He took two groups of caged rats and fed them food and water for a year. One group was placed in the church steeple of the Ordem Terceira do Carmo in the center of Sao Paulo, one of Brazil's most polluted cities. |

 I can't read their minds, but I do have a pretty good sense of which treatments are no better than the mustard plaster your grandmother applied to your chest when you had bronchitis. There's nothing wrong with being a true believer, but if you sell the stuff you believe in, you should be able to show evidence that indicates you're right.
I don't mean to point fingers only at people who make and distribute diet supplements and other products. Completely mainstream medical disciplines sometimes have trouble explaining what works and why. |

 As reported in Recent Advances in Chinese Herbal Drugs, an evaluation of patients with kidney yang deficiency syndrome who were not classified as suffering from hypothyroidism but were rather suffering from chronic bronchitis revealed a decreased level of T3 and T4 (average values of 102 and 8.2 respectively). Both chronic bronchitis patients not having kidney yang deficiency and normal adults had comparable levels of these hormones (147 and 9.3 respectively). |

| To this day, Kay's personal observations hold up as a classic description of the early to middle stages of a new disease that only later came to be called byssinosis:
The disease induced has appeared to me to differ from ordinary chronic bronchitis. In the commencement of the complaint, the patient suffers a distressing pulmonary irritation from the dust and the filaments which he inhales. |
