Bronchitis

Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchial tubes which are the airways that carry air to your lungs. It causes a cough that often brings up mucus. It can also cause shortness of breath, wheezing, a low fever, and chest tightness. There are two main types of bronchitis: acute and chronic.

 Symptoms
For either acute bronchitis or chronic bronchitis, signs and symptoms may include:
  • Cough
  • Production of mucus (sputum), which can be clear, white, yellowish-gray or green in color — rarely, it may be streaked with blood
  • Fatigue
  • Shortness of breath
  • Slight fever and chills
  • Chest discomfort

 

 Root Causes
  • Weakened immune system
  • Dehydration
  • Air pollution, Dust, Chemical fumes, Mold or other toxins you are breathing into your lungs
  • First & Secondhand Cigarette Smoke
  • Weak Adrenal Function
  • Genetic Issues (particularly Tuberculinum miasm/Psora Miasm)

VERY IMPORTANT:

  • Coenzyme Q10 (FGF CoMega, EQ CoQ10): For improved circulation and breathing. For Coenzyme Q10, take 60 mg daily. 
  • Methylsulfonyl-methane (MSM) (AI Body DX): Clinical tests have shown that this improves lung problems such as bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysema, cysts, or damage due to heavy smoking. Take as directed on label.
  • Proteolytic enzymes with bromelain (NS Proteolytic Enzymes 2 capsules 3-4 times daily): Helps reduce inflammation. Take as directed on label. Take between meals. 
  • Vitamin E (EQ Initial E): Powerful free radical scavenger and oxygen carrier. Needed for healing of tissues and improved breathing. Take 90 mg (200 IU) daily. Take with 50– 100 mg vitamin C.
  • Zinc (EQ Zinc): Needed for repair of all tissues. Take up to 40 mg daily.

IMPORTANT:

  • Chlorophyll (NS AquaMax 2 ozs. 4 times daily OR NS Chlorophyll 2 caps 3 times daily): Chlorophyll is to improve circulation, and to keep tissues free of toxic substances. For Chlorophyll, take as directed on label, 3 times daily. 
  • Garlic (FGF Immune Max): A natural antibiotic that reduces infection and detoxifies the body. Take 2 tablets 3 times daily, with meals.
  • Vitamin B complex (AI B Complex, EQ B Complex): Activates many enzymes needed for healing. Take 100 mg of each major B vitamin (thiamine and riboflavin) 3 times daily. Amounts of individual vitamins in a complex will vary. Do not exceed 35 mg niacin, 100 mg vitamin B6 , and 1,000 mcg folate daily.

HELPFUL:

  • Magnesium (NS Magnesium Complex) plus calcium (NS Coral Calcium): Magnesium acts as a bronchodilator. Calcium is needed to balance with magnesium. For magnesium, take up to 350 mg daily. For calcium, take 1,000 mg daily.

  • N-acetylcysteine (NAC) plus L-arginine, and L-lysine, and L-ornithine (NS Amino Complex 4 caps daily): N-acetylcysteine (NAC) protects and preserves the cells. It's a sulfur-bearing amino acid that lessens the viscosity of bronchial mucus, making it easier to expel. L-arginine aids in liver detoxification. L-lysine is needed for protein synthesis to aid in healing. Also aids in destroying serious viruses. L-ornithine lowers blood ammonia levels, which can be increased by respiratory illness. For N-acetylcysteine (NAC), take 500 mg twice daily, on an empty stomach. Take with water or juice. Do not take with milk. Take with 50 mg vitamin B6 and 100 mg vitamin C for better absorption. For L-arginine and L-lysine and L-ornithine, take 500 mg twice daily, on an empty stomach.
  • Raw thymus glandular (NS Immune Formula): Needed to protect and enhance immune function. Take 500 mg twice daily.

      Reflexology
      The Lung Point on the sole of your foot is a rectangular-shaped region. You can find it below the three middle toes on the ball of the foot. The right foot reflexology point refers to the right lung, and the left foot point correlates to the left lung.

      You can massage the foot in two ways. The first with your thumb pad. You move your thumb up and down towards the heel.

      The second way to do it would be using two thumbs where you massage in small circles until you have made your way down the entire lung point. You should be massaging both feet for 30 to 60 seconds per foot. While doing this it is recommended to use medium to hard pressure to start. That being said, if the point feels more sensitive, ease up on the pressure.
