Asthma

Gerald Green has published a book "Breaking Through The Untouchable Diseases" that is now available through Amazon. Please click here to go directly to the information page about the book at the Amazon website.

Gerald Green developed this formula while he was wheel chair bound with life threatening asthma that was so severe it destroyed 70% of his useable lung function resulting in emphysema. Even in this condition, within four days of use of the formula, he felt the ‘iron grip’ on his lungs ease. It took him about a year to completely relieve his asthma but in most individuals the relief and resolution comes much quicker. Typically, a few weeks for young adults and just a few days for children. Obviously the older you are and the longer and more severe the condition, the longer it will take to achieve optimum benefit.

• Liquorice induces the adrenal cortex to make more of the natural steroid cortisone, thus having a systemic anti-inflammatory effect on the lungs and most other organs.  Tragically, the artificial cortisone and other steroids released by the pharmaceutical giants are not sufficiently like the natural steroids released by the adrenal glands and can never cure asthma. Their action, to relieve asthma, is only temporary however the side effects are cumulative.
• Slippery elm thins down the thick sticky mucus that clogs the airways.
• Lobelia herb is used to finally get rid of the mucus, and to have some de-sensitisation effect on allergies, only a small amount is used.

When you understand the physiology of the human body and the role of histamine in its water regulation and drought management, you realize that chronic dehydration, in a vast majority of people, is the primary cause of allergies and asthma. Increased water intake on a forced, regular basis should be adopted as a preventative measure as well as the treatment of choice.

In those who have had attacks of asthma or allergic reactions to different pollens or foods, more strict attention to daily water intake should become a pre-emptive measure. These people will also have other indicators of dehydration that they need to recognize and treat accordingly before a crisis attack of asthma endangers their lives and exposes them to possible premature death.

Any time an asthmatic experiences difficulty in breathing, the dry cough signals imminent danger, he or she should quickly take two or three glasses of water,  one after another, and then put a pinch of salt on the tongue. Salt shortage in the diet can be a contributing factor in asthma attacks.  Developing a feeling of nausea when you drink water is a sign of salt shortage in the body.

Mag Sea Ionics contains a very large proportion of magnesium (essential for asthmatics) and trace elements relative to the sodium chloride. More than Celtic Ocean Sea Salt. Our bodies contain typically 22 pints of extra-cellular fluid, the mineral content of which is very similar to sea water. This is probably because we carry our own ‘internal sea’ with us since life on this planet evolved from single celled organisms. Since these cells have joined together in co-operative groups to form complex multi-cellular organisms and made the transition to land, they have maintained a sea like liquid to bathe all the cells of the body.

The daily consumption of sea water is the most natural and beneficial salt we can consume. At the other extreme, refined table salt that supplies heated sodium chloride plus additives is toxic to the body. The unfortunate paradox is that (due to the ignorance of the salt manufacturers and the health authorities) our bodies desperately cry out for full spectrum natural salt, yet are only supplied with toxic refined salt. ‘Health’ campaigns to eliminate refined salt from our diet have left the bulk of the population deficient in the proper wholesome natural salts that are essential for maintaining good health.

Dr. F. Batmanghelidj recommends about 3 grams of natural salt a day. This can be either obtained from about one level domestic teaspoon (not the bigger 5 ml medicinal teaspoon) of Celtic Ocean Sea Salt or from 10ml of  Mag Sea Ionics.

A direct correlation between the amount of MSM Organic Sulphur in the blood and resistance to allergens has been established. Although MSM alone may not totally eliminate allergic responses, subjects with chronic to severe cases of allergies to environmental materials report substantial to complete relief of their symptoms after successive daily doses of MSM.  The majority of subjects with allergic asthma report equivalent or better control of symptoms with one fourth or less of the amount of anti allergy medicine they had been taking when concurrently ingesting MSM. The suggested dose of MSM is one teaspoon a day dissolved in liquid for three weeks then reducing to half this amount.

Regular Tea drinking (and possibly coffee) may make it nigh impossible to keep properly hydrated. With normal individuals tea is a diuretic, it causes the body to expel more water than normal via the urine.  Many asthmatics tend to have low kidney energy and tend to loose water and salt more easily via the urine, so tea drinking can be a major cause of even greater dehydration. The minimum recommended amount of water daily (exclude other sources of fluid from the calculations) to avoid chronic dehydration is about two pints. 

One of the signs of dehydration is the colour of the urine. Fill a glass with your urine and observe the colour. Generally it should be a light/pale straw colour. Any deeper shades of yellow indicate dehydration. Unfortunately when we become chronically dehydrated, this is not picked up by the thirst mechanism. Watch out for even a slightly dry throat, this is one of the signs. Alcohol will dehydrate the body, especially spirits. Asthmatics should avoid alcohol as much as possible, allowing themselves only a small amount of real ale, stout or or one small glass of wine daily.
