Exactly what means would one try to actually CURE Emphsymia, not just treat it ?

[Deckers1]

If any Doctors here had powers of God what would they request to really cure this disease. I understand {for instance} that if each and every person were to get the vaccine for walking pneumonia then this would drastically curtail many lung disorders. We all know that the medical industry would like to ask everyone to stop smoking cigarettes. But cigarettes do not cause lung disease, especially now that there is a vaccine for Lung Cancer {Merck KGaA's lung-cancer vaccine Stimuvax}.

So what would anyone here do? Adult or Fetal Stem cell implants possibly? Maybe genetic tissue repair and re-implantation? What?

They tried Lung Transplants and that didn't work at all. Either organ rejection caused complications or some other internal organ isn't functioning well. See - http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000120.htm


This discussion is related to emphsymia.

[askingyou]

Decker1, did you know that Farm Animals, Horses and Cattle also develop, Emphysema, and COPD.?
   It normally starts with allergies from eating certain grasses in a pasture. If the lying offender is not removed, it eventuallys turns into emphysema and COPD.
My Theory is, the same with certain offending allergic foods that people eat.  If it is not removed, it will eventually create what the article states above, (cellular excitability) and eventuallys destroys the cell membrane within the lungs.

My Lungs and Sinuses have cleared since I stopped eating diary foods.(milk and cheese)

Here is an article that I have found.  

Lung Disease, Asthma, Emphysema, Bronchitis and Lung Cancer:

Common Causes and What You Can Do
By D. Graeme Shaw, M.D.

Cell membrane hyperexcitability is a common factor in many diseases because it results in various cell changes, including decrease of energy, muscle contraction or spasm, inflammation, decreased immune function, fibrosis (scarring) and degener-ative disease. If continued long enough, it can lead to cancerous changes.

Excitement, Anxiety are Triggers
Excitement and anxiety are known to be common triggers for asthma. In my practice, fear, anxiety and especially grieving tend to be common in patients with long-term lung health issues.
I treated a young lady several years ago with an intractable fungal infection of her lungs. Nothing seemed to improve her. After over a year of various treat-ments, she realized that her grieving over a lost boyfriend had preceded her lung disease. After becoming aware of this, she slowly started to improve. (Coincidentally, my last three female patients who had lung cancer all reported a feeling of grief over lost ones or lost relationships.)
One of the most interesting aspects of this hyperexcitability theory is that there are neurotransmitter sites on the cell membrane that affect electrical activity. Acetylcholine, histamine and glutamate ,
are examples of stimulatory neurotrans-mitters that heighten cell excitability, whereas relaxing neurotransmitters like GABA and glycine have the opposite effect.
Neurotransmitters are the vehicles of our emotions. Simply put, anxiety-producing neurotransmitters stimulate the hyperexcitability of the membrane, whereas relaxing emotions have beneficial effects on the cells’ excitability.

The cell membrane surrounding the cell has many functions, including control of acid, water and salt balance; transport of nutrients into the cell; excretion of toxins and waste products out of the cells; and intercommunication with other cells. These activities of the cell membrane generate an electrical charge and this excitability enables the cells to respond to external factors. When the cell is under stress from chemicals, infections, toxins, low energy states and emotional stress, there is an increase in the excitability or electrical activity of the cell membrane.

As we stated in our published article "BRONCHIAL EPILEPSY OR BRONCHO-PULMONARY HYPEREXCITABILITY AS A MODEL OF ASTHMA PATHOGENESIS" (published in Medical Hypotheses 2006, 67, 1042-1051), each of these pulmonary diseases (asthma, COPD/emphysema and lung cancer) may be a single entity in a spectrum of diseases caused by the same underlying mechanism: excitatory dys-function.
Research has also shown that those patients with chronic asthma, bronchitis and emphysema are more likely to have lung cancer in later life.

Tips for Healthy Lungs
Making healthy lifestyle choices, inclu-ding a healthy diet, moderate exercise and stress reduction, is a good starting point. (Amazing how these three habits seems to promote almost all organ health.) My recommendations for everyone concerned with lung health are:
1. A healthy diet free of excess sugar, sodium salt, iron, MSG (a glutamate derivative) and nicotine (a cell membrane excitatory chemical).
2. Relaxation. Some of the common methods of relaxation include breathing exercises, meditation and exercise.
3. Hydration. Remember to keep hy-drated, especially if you exercise.
4. Several specific membrane-calming agents that have helpful affects on lung health are magnesium, omega-3-oil (fish oil), GABA, glycine, vitamin D, and herbs like sophora.

Benefits of Healthy Diet & Hydration

How do we reverse cell membrane hyperactivity? A healthy diet is the first step. It is the source of life and energy for your cells. Without this invaluable energy, cells must adapt to living with low energy by increasing electrical activity. The worst dietary offenders for cell health are sugar, salt and excess iron (as in red meat).

Some of the simplest nutrients that support lung health are magnesium and omega-3-oil (fish oil), both of which are cell membrane calming agents. I saw a seven-year-asthmatic boy last year whose mother was enthusiastic about getting him off asthma medicines. I suggested that he add fish oil and magnesium to his diet for two or three months. Amazingly, he has been off medications ever since.

Hydration is a very important
