See book keywords and concepts |  Allergies/Asthma—Virtually every respiratory health organization lists fragrance as a trigger for asthma. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, fragrances cause 30 percent of all allergic reactions, and 72 percent of asthmatics experience respiratory symptoms when exposed to fragrances.20 It only takes one person entering a building wearing a scented product to affect the air quality. This is because scented products can drift thtoughout an entire area wherever the ait takes them. Workers in the perfume industry are among those with the highest rates of asthma. |

Women are urged to have regular mammograms, or breast x-rays, for early detection of breast cancer. Cancer research indicates that a significant percentage of women in the United States have inherited a gene, dubbed oncogene AC, that is sensitive to x-ray exposure. For these women, even short periods of x-ray exposure can lead to the development of cancer. |

Homeopathic medicines used to restore respiratory health include ipecacuanha, which may be recommended by homeopathic physicians for violent coughing, chest restriction, and choking. Natrum sulphuricum may be suggested for rattling in the chest that gets worse in damp weather, and spongia tosta is prescribed for dry barking coughs, with wheezing, and hoarseness that worsen in the cold air. To open bronchial passages, adrealinum is sometimes used, and ephedra vulgaris is prescribed for queasiness and weakness. |

Inflammation is a natural process following tissue insult or injury. In the case of an upper respiratory infection caused by a change of temperature, pollution, virus, etc., inflammation appears in the mucous membrane linings of the nasal passages and/ or sinuses. | | Other B-complex factors are also affected and needed for respiratory health. For example, the vitamin B-complex is involved in the production of nitric oxide, a needed vasodilator and inflammation mediator. All of the B vitamins and their coworkers are functionally inseparable, so this whole complex would assist in asthma, particularly in relation to the autonomic nervous system. |
Dr. John Heinerman
See book keywords and concepts |  A pleasant-smelling litter-box is obviously desirable for the respiratory health of human and pet alike; but a clean-scented cat (at least by our standards) isn't always necessary, unless there are plans to display it at a cat show. The use of aerosols to "prettify the air" only confuse cats and aggravate existing human allergies, so what's the point in using them?
Putrefaction Needs Attention
Common sense tells us, though, that whenever putrefaction is present in some form, it requires prompt attention. |
Arthur C. Upton, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Here follows a list of these irritants, with a brief description of their sources and their effect on respiratory health. (For more information, see Chapter 14, "Air.")
Carbon Monoxide
The respiratory system is the major route of exposure to carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas that is quite prevalent in the air. If a large enough amount of CO is inhaled, it can be lethal. | | A number of studies have investigated whether or not the presence of a gas stove or gas-fueled source of heat impairs the respiratory health of children. The results have been so inconsistent that no definitive statements can be made regarding these risks. It is probable that the amount of nitrogen dioxide released into the average household by gas stoves is insufficient to cause harm. |
Gary Null, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Stress management is a crucial part of any respiratory health regimen. Chelation therapy acts as a lung-cleansing agent, and reverses free radical damage.
Sickle Cell Anemia ickle cell anemia is a genetic disease affecting over 72,000 African Americans.
\DThis painful and disfiguring chronic condition attacks red blood cells, causing joint pain, fatigue, breathing difficulties, blood clots, fever, and long-term anemia.
During a sickle cell crisis, red blood cells lose their shape and elasticity due to an oxygen depletion. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Two antioxidants in particular are especially important to respiratory health. "A person who takes vitamin E and vitamin C supplements is less likely to develop emphysema than a person who doesn't, all other things being equal," says Dr. Scala.
Vitamin E, an oily antioxidant found in blood fats and cell membranes, is important for proper lung function. "Studies show that if you put athletes on a treadmill and get them burning rubber while you monitor their breath, the ones who took vitamin E will have less oxidation by-products coming from their lungs," says Dr. Scala. |
Alan Keith Tillotson, Ph.D., A.H.G., D.Ay.
See book keywords and concepts |  Therefore, the first step in maintaining respiratory health is to keep your home air as healthy as possible. This is especially important for allergic conditions like asthma or sinusitis. I suggest the following:
• Purchase a HEPA air filter. These air filters are used in hospital operating rooms to filter out minute particles. They are now sold at department stores.
• Wash your bedsheets and pillowcases in hot water. This will kill dust mites, which can make allergies and asthma worse.
• Get a dehumidifier if your basement or home is damp. |
Ronald L. Hoffman, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Not just a nuisance, a cold can be the precursor of more serious infections, so it makes sense to start here with a long-term approach to respiratory health.
Why Can't We Cure the Cold?
It's the old nagging question: if we can put a man on the moon, why can't modern science find a cure for the common cold? The common cold and flu are still on the frontiers of medicine, right up there with the some of the more serious illnesses. | | A Look to the Future
The prognosis for respiratory health continues to look brighter as we project current trends into the twenty-first century. Lung cancer and emphysema rates will go down as smoking dies away as a social custom — we hope! With that culprit largely eliminated, we can expect to increase our awareness of the multiple causative factors in sinus and lung problems and to reduce the occupational and environmental hazards that can cause respiratory problems.
Certain sufferers of emphysema will benefit from the innovative lung reduction surgery now being pioneered. |

°*> Arthritis
Vitamin C has natural antiinflammatory properties that make it effective for all different types of arthritis. It is required for the production of cartilage and prevents joint destruction due to its antioxidant properties. I find it most helpful when used as part of an antioxidant formula or nutritional arthritis formula. |
Gary Null, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Supplementation with 900 IU of vitamin E for six weeks exhibited beneficial effects on the respiratory health of smokers. Six weeks of treatment with vitamin E improved the clinical status and normalized the proportion of OKT + 4 T-lymphocytes and the ratio of OKT + 4 to OKT + 8 cells in the peripheral blood of children suffering from respiratory tract infections. In newborns, supplemental vitamin E has offered protection against intraventricular hemorrhage, intracranial hemorrhage, retinopathy of prematurity, and retrolental fi-broplasis. |

This placebo-controlled study examined the effects of 900 IU of vitamin E for 6 weeks on the respiratory health of smokers. Results showed that the generation of oxidants by activated phagocytes seemed to be inhibited by the vitamin E supplementation.
