HEALTHIER LUNGS

SOME RESOURCE LINKS TO HELP

  • Info. on bromelain.

  • Quotes from Patient Health International: "A pineapple plant extract called bromelain may be effective at reducing the lung inflammation associated with asthma, results of a US study suggest." (Note: Bromelain is available in capsule form as well as in whole pineapples, and some people also use it for arthritis pain as an anti-inflammatory.)

  • Foods to avoid lung cancer.

  • Top 5 foods good for lungs are red wine, tea, garlic, pineapple and onions.

  • Vitamin A helps the mucous membranes, including lungs, and the immune system, etc.

  • Quotes: "AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND - New observational research suggests that high serum levels of vitamin D are associated with higher lung function."

  • Lung Health products at the Ultimate Living site; known for it's Green Miracle product with a mission to fight cancer and other diseases. Diabetes has also been helped with their products.

  • Dr. Gupta had some advice about lung problems from fires. Quotes: "The CDC said that people with heart and lung disease, children and older adults are most vulnerable, but even healthy adults can suffer symptoms when smoke levels are high enough.

  • Dr. Balch's Natural Remedy for Healthy Lung is there. It includes ingredients like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, CoQ-10 10mg, Licorice Extract, N-Acetyl L-Cysteine or NAC, , and L- Carnitine. Details are there on how this works. This is an example, but there are other lung supplements available elsewhere. The herb Mullein has been a popular one.

  • Herbs and lung cancer info. from mitamins.com affiliated with Dr. Balch.

  • From the archives of foodsafetynetwork.ca, quotes: "October 17, 2005, University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Curcumin, the main ingredient of turmeric and the compound that gives curry its mustard-yellow color, "inhibits metastasis to the lungs of mice with breast cancer", report researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.

  • From Lung Disease Focus site, quotes: "The use of HEPA, or high efficiency particulate air, filters and air purifiers in the home can contribute to the reduction of pollutants that can be blown in through ventilation systems." (Note: the site has a chart about various types of air filters.)

  • From greenplantsforgreenbuildings.org, quotes: "Research shows that plant-filled rooms contain 50-60% fewer airborne molds and bacteria than rooms without plants. For almost twenty years Dr. Billy C.Wolverton and his aids in the Environmental Research Laboratory of John C. Stennis Space Center have been conducting innovative research employing natural biological processes for air purification. "We’ve found that plants have been found to suck these chemicals out of the air," he says."

  • From Diagnose me site, quotes: "A high intake of omega-3 fatty acids may protect cigarette smokers against chronic obstructive pulmonary (lung) disease. Supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids may interfere with the inflammatory mediators triggered by cigarette smoking. Even small increments of omega-3 fatty acids may have a cumulative beneficial effect."
    "If a person has cancer, inflammatory conditions, or needs to lose weight, omega-3 should be favored. Otherwise, an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of between 2:1 and 3:1 is suitable. "Flax, our richest source of omega-3, quickly replenishes a long- standing omega-3 deficiency. 1-2 tbsp per day of good quality flax oil for a few months should suffice. Cold-water fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring) are a good source of the metabolites EPA and DHA." (Note: EFA essential fatty acid oils can also be found in capsule form like Flaxseed oil, Salmon oil and EFA oils, etc.)
