Dr. Oz on Lung Cancer and Radon Gases in Your Home: When To Move and When To Breathe
Dr. Oz repeated this episode about Lung Cancer and Radon in your home.
He tries to put the fear of cancer into any discussion…it’s his style. But be aware, he is personally grappling with his own scare of colon cancer. The colon is the paired organ to the lungs in TCM.
While it’s true that a person can get Lung Cancer even though they don’t smoke or are rarely exposed to second hand smoke, there are many other causes that Dr. Oz didn’t cover. He hinted at a few.
Smoking is always targeted as a primary cause of Lung Cancer, but what doctors don’t know is that tobacco is warming and the person will crave tobacco to warm the lungs. When the lungs are affected by ‘cold’ at the energetic level, cancer and other diseases can begin in the tissue. If you are going to smoke to warm your lungs; then use organic tobacco, instead of the chemical butts that most companies produce. There are other herbs and foods that will warm the lungs.
If you drive a vehicle and if you find yourself in traffic or at stop lights behind other cars; then you can be assured that there are fumes that you are breathing that can damage the lungs. You should take alternative routes with less traffic and fewer traffic lights to diminish this risk and exposure to toxic chemicals that injure delicate lung tissue.
You should also use Liquid Zeolite to detox from these chemicals in the environment in the atmosphere on a regular basis. If you were serious about PREVENTING Lung Cancer, you would move to a rural area with clean air to breathe…all the time. This requires a dramatic change in your Lifestyle, but it is exceedingly beneficial.
When you live in a city that is polluted, you are going to be weakening your lungs every time you take a breath. Your body deteriorates when it lacks oxygen and cancer can get a firm foothold when this happens and your Immune System is deficient. You really owe it to your health to live in a small town or out in the country where you are surrounded by trees, plants, soil, and fresh air to keep your lungs healthy.
I have written in previous posts about the nutritional products, herbs, and whole foods that nourish the lungs. You can also go to your Acupuncturist and be treated to balance the Lung Meridian and that will be valuable in maintaining the health of your lungs.
Radon Gas is a real problem in many areas of the world, especially where people build basements into the soil without adequate ventilation or building practices. Radon can build up to the point that it will damage your lungs.
Sure…you can get your home tested. If you find that there are lethal or dangerous levels of Radon; then sell your house or rent it to someone who doesn’t care about this risk. Get out of there… The expense of mitigation doesn’t always guarantee that the problem will be sufficiently eliminated altogether. If is more safe to leave that location than to risk any degree of exposure, particularly if you have children in the home.
If you find out that you have been breathing in any quantity of Radon Gas, then it’s time to do a good Detoxification program for several months. You should also strengthen your lungs using the methods described above with herbs, EOs, and whole foods.
