Natural Lung Infection Treatments: Herbal & Homeopathic Guide

Better/preventative lung health: Hi, I was wondering what I should be doing to help repair all the damage I have done to my lungs from 10 years of smoking. Thanks so much for your help!

Could you share how much and how often the baking soda should be used? I have 3 nodules, all under 4cm and I like to shrink them if possible. I do ACV, apple vinegar one table spoon a day, 1 week on, 1 week off. Thank you!

Angela, for several yrs I have been using the health club hot-tub method for cleansing as it is lots of chlorine or bromine w/ some type of stabilizers w/ mixed results. Sometimes it seems to produce added oxidative stress and sometimes I feel much better afterwards. Some alternative practitioners recommend adding 1/2 or 1 cup chlorine bleach (non-scented) to a tub of hot water for cleansing and detoxing. ACV can also be added to hot water baths for same purpose. It is good to remember that chlorine bleach will way up the body's sodium content, so perhaps eat a couple of Bananas daily.

Lately it seems the healthier alternative to chlorine is Iodine. A few yrs ago I knew that my fungal infection had become systemic when I added Povidone Iodine to a foot bath w/ die-off results immediately afterwards. I have also used PI in whole body bath w/ good results. Lately I seem to have even better results w/ Borax 1/2 cup in hot bath.

For oral administration, I use either Grapefruitseed Extract or Oregano w/ pretty good results.

Anyway many options for fungal issues.

WARNING!

"Ion Ozone is toxic: Ion electrostatic precipitators release small doses of ozone as a byproduct, ozone is toxic and can eat away at the tissue of your lungs."

So, the question remains, how much is 'small dosage' and how much can each individual handle?

I owned the Sharper Image's (I know product names are not supposed to be used, but I am adamant about people knowing about this company as there is a class action suit against them with regards to its unhealthy ozone emissions) Ionic Breeze air purifier. Over the course of 4 years, my families health deteriorated. It was slow, unnoticeable and very damaging. We finally are on the road back to recovery, but not completely out of the woods.

Also beware of work environments that use this type of air purification as well.

All in all, if you were like me (my family) and you have a host of ailments that numerous Dr's. are not able to pin point or help, and you own/use any ionic type devices, stop. Give it at least a month, and if your symptoms don't subside, at least you will know it has nothing to do with the ozone being emitted by these ionic type devices. You'll have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

FYI- A parent of one of my son's teammates is a RN at a well known hospital here in the Valley, and I told her about the Ionic Breeze and how harmful it has been on myself and my family and she immediately replied "Oh yeah, you can't use those...they can cause lung cancer, we see it all the time."

I have been using an ionic air-dryer for several years now, and have been getting bronchitis and wheezing...could this be causing it? Can they really precipitate lung cancer?

We have been using a desk ozone generator with an ioniser for 4 years now. Our health has improved and we tend to forget to use it ... But pick it up again whenever someone gets slightly ill

Dear Jimmy from Dallas,

I just read your posting about the cystic fibrosis in March of 2008 and your efforts to treat it with hydrogen peroxide. I have lung problems too and was wondering if the peroxide worked for you. I am inhaling the 1% food grade hp without much success. Hope to hear back from you. Betty

Just a little translation for the Tagalog (Philippine language) for people trying to figure this post out.

This is a great site, and hopefully people are finding the answers they've long looked for here. Thank you for your contribution to the people of this planet!
