If you’re reading this, then you are breathing and according to the expert on Dr. Oz today, you are at risk for developing Lung Cancer. Yikes!

Since you can’t stop breathing and you want to continue to breathe with healthy lungs; what can you do?

Yes, you can quit smoking…

Yes, you can move to live in a place where there is no pollution…

Yes, you can improve the ventilation in your home and office…

Yes, you can quit spraying perfumes, air purifiers, hair spray, and other gunk into the air that you breathe…

Yes, you can build a healthy home…

Yes, you can eat whole foods and take herbal formulas which will clear and strengthen your lungs…

Yes, you can detox your body…

Radon is in many homes and buildings. Most people don’t think that this applies to them. It’s a Class A carcinogen. It damages the cells of the lung’s lining.

You can test your building for Radon. If it tests positive…move. The exposure is unsatisfactory for human health. Get the heck out of Dodge…

If you cannot move, then set up a purification system that is really going to do an adequate job of keeping any particulate out of the air in closed spaces. But then you need to support the health of your lungs with herbs and whole foods to be sure you are doing enough…

White and yellow foods…

My favorite food for strengthening the lungs is Lotus Root. I also find that Fenugreek Seed Tea is excellent for clearing the lungs. Chrysanthemum Tea will clear the ‘heat’ from the Lung Meridian system and the tissue of the lungs when there is inflammation, irritation, or infection.

We also like to use a synergistic product that dissolves phlegm. Honey Loquat Syrup does the job the best. Prince of Peace is the best brand of Honey Loquat Syrup. It tastes good and it works…

I would suggest to you that in order to keep your lungs healthy, you should avoid or eliminate dairy products, processed foods, artificial substances, and synthetic chemicals that are dispersed in the air. If you use hair spray, for instance, then change your hairstyle to some cut that doesn’t require sprays to maintain. If you eat cheeseburgers, then eat turkey burgers with soy cheese as a substitute for a better health outcome. If you use perfume or cologne, then switch to Essential Oils that smell wonderful.

Watercress, garlic, ginger root, mustard, peppers, asparagus, carrots, scallions, and horseradish – even wasabi – will support the energetic field of the Metal Element that regulates the Lung and Large Intestine Meridian leading to the organs. I am particularly fond of onions, both raw and cooked in my diet for keeping my lungs healthier. You can get acupuncture treatments to restore balance to these systems. You can learn more about Tai Chi and Yoga to strengthen these systems. You can benefit from sauna, walks in the wilderness, and negative ion generators.

Vegetables, whole grains, radish, and tofu are also healthy foods for the lungs. Beans and white meat are also suitable for eating to support the energy of the lungs. Minerals are very important and there are several nutritional supplements that are designed to directly benefit the lungs. You must use your own knowledge by researching this for your personal preferences in your diet unless you can find someone with an EAV device to test your lungs and foods for you.

At the very core of the health of your lungs is your attitude. Don’t be sad, don’t hang on to grief or guilt. Do not linger there… Do find a healthy respect for yourself and others. Define your relationships and honor boundaries when it comes to responsibility and blame. Be gentle to yourself without harsh words or uncontrolled emotion… Speak with authority and clarity. Be YOU with every breathe!
