Book excerpt: The first book to address emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) from a nutritional and alternative medicine approach • Explains the benefits of detoxification, dietary changes, and food combining • Details 45 suggested herbs and 26 nutritional supplements as well as information on how to stop smoking Approximately 35 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with some form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)--emphysema constituting 18 million of that group. Worldwide, as many as 293 million people suffer with these conditions. COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in America, claiming nearly 120,000 lives annually. Yet conventional approaches to treatment, with their regimens of drugs and unceasing physical therapy, provide neither cure nor significant relief. In Natural Therapies for Emphysema and COPD, Robert Green shows that alternative holistic therapies ranging from herbs to homeopathy offer great promise in relieving COPD’s debilitating symptoms. Starting with the basics of the physiology of respiration, Green presents a comprehensive program that includes detoxification, dietary changes, nutritional supplements, and herbal medicine; breathing techniques and exercise options such as aerobics, yoga, qigong, and tai chi; and alternative therapies such as homeopathy, acupuncture, and massage--noting how and why each therapy works. He also details how to stop smoking, includes resources for alternative health practitioners, and provides sources for the alternative products recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can be devastating. It’s important to note, though, that while COPD is debilitating, it is not a death sentence. With proper disease management, people with COPD can expect to live a full and happy life. While there are no magic pills or quick fixes, there are many things COPD sufferers can do to have more energy, less shortness of breath, and an overall better quality of life despite breathlessness or use of home oxygen. This comprehensive guide helps people in any stage of COPD learn to work with their physical limitations rather than against them. Compassionate and clearly written, it covers every aspect of the disease, including the psychological and emotional issues that go along with having COPD, medications and physical therapy, identifying triggers and warning signs, creating an action plan for worsening symptoms, techniques to make breathing easier, working with healthcare providers, and much more.

It should be effortless, free and easy. But if you are reading this...the chances are your breathing is not. You are not alone. In fact COPD is now the second biggest cause of death in the UK and the third in the United States. Breathing disorders are seriously bad news. Placing a massive burden on healthcare provision, doctors place self care for respiratory disease as one of their highest priorities. The question is...where on earth does one start? Well, interestingly in these days of drug resistant bugs and infections, scientists are exploring respiratory medicine through a whole new realm...that of the plant kingdom. Over and over again they are finding that essential oils offer some of the best effects for bronchitis, emphysema and COPD. Moreover, the scholars of psychoneuroimmunology have now concluded that the emotions (particularly from the past) play a vital role in the body's propensity to develop COPD, and that stress and hostility will assuredly make symptoms of chronic bronchitis and other breathing disorders worse. Together with detailed investigations into the aromatherapy and essential oils to help maintain and support a healthy respiratory system, this bronchitis book looks at how diet, emotional wellness and lifestyle changes can break the cycle of respiratory disease. Some oils you may be able to guess; others are so unexpected they are like a bolt from the blue! Discover: The essential oils found to be the most effective bronchitis treatment for reducing inflammation, mucous and pain. The hazardous oil able to positively affect Nitric Oxide, the gas considered vital to cardio vascular health and successful respiratory health. The foods suggested by doctors and nutritionists to break the cycle of disease and support a healthier respiratory system Safe and clear instructions on how to use which oil and when for the most effective bronchitis treatment. Aromatherapy recipes to clear infection, reduce pain, ease breathing and calm coughing. Sick of being sick...? Relax...breathe....we've got this covered with natural bronchitis medicine. Improve your breathing, your sleep, even your emotional state and take the first steps on the road to getting your life back. Clear, simple to follow advice and insights into your illness I'll bet you never even considered before! Elizabeth Ashley has 21 years professional aromatherapy experience and is the best selling author of The Secret Healer series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The amazing true story detailing my mother's complete recovery from emphysema. In my research on COPD I found Tobacco Control Studies showing fungal and mycobacterial spores in the exhale of smokers. In further research I found there were 7 fungi and mycobacteria that grew naturally on tobacco. I also found 6 bacteria and 3 oomycetes (water molds) that grew naturally on tobacco. I realized that maybe these spores are embedding themselves in the lungs of smokers and after decades of proliferation begin causing health issues and result in the COPD diagnosis. I developed a treatment program that would eradicate these mycobacteria and fungi from the lungs. My mother stayed on the restrictive diet and supplements that were all part of the alternative treatment program I developed that would eradicate mycobacteria and fungi. Amazingly, after 17 months on the diet and supplements she had completely recovered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edited by Antonio Anzueto, Yvonne Heijdra and John R. Hurst COPD is one of the most common diseases worldwide and is projected to be the third leading cause of death by 2020. But that does not mean it is easy to understand or manage. In everyday practice, pulmonologists face areas of controversy in COPD, for which evidence-based medicine is often unavailable. This ERS Monograph considers where the current controversies in COPD lie, discussing areas such as screening, premature birth, asthma–COPD overlap syndrome, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care. This book will be of great interest to both clinicians and scientists, and aims to stimulate further discussion about this diverse and fascinating disease. "...contains a vast amount of information on the disease, its prevalence, signs and symptoms, diagnositc tests and treatment options. The book's format makes it quick and simple to find out what you need to know, and its size would make it easy to take to work for use in practice [...] invaluable for anyone working with patients with the disease."

Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.
