let’s talk about how to detoxify your

lungs what is the best way okay we’re

talking about detoxifying pollution that

chemicals from smoking and by the way

since you probably already know this but

there’s 7 000 chemicals in cigarette

smoke at 250 are harmful and 69 are

actually are carcinogenic I mean there’s

even a radioactive element in smoking

you have ammonia you have formaldehyde

hydrogen cyanide and even cadmium which

is a heavy metal and you have firsthand

smoking and then you have secondhand

smoking right but there’s also third

hand smoking all the chemical particles

that end up like on furniture clothing

that you come in contact with as well

and of course the goal of you probably

watching this is to reduce your risk of

cancer and things like that but there’s

another big problem that is associated

with smoking

and that is COPD chronic obstructive

pulmonary

disease 12 million people in the United

States have COPD so I’m going to share

some information on how to prevent that

and if you have it what to do to improve

it but smoking is not the only issue

here you have pollution in the air you

have Cleaning Supply chemicals you have

mold and mildew in your house you even

have something called radon gas that can

actually affect your lungs and then also

if we

compound that with pre-existing

infections to the lung it can lead to

some major problems and just so you know

like lung cancer doesn’t always come

from smoking it can be referred or they

called spread from other organs and so

if your lung has inflammation in it okay

it becomes a target for cancer

because cancer tends to spread in areas

of inflammation so the key thing with

this video is all about inflammation in

the lung and how to reduce it because

anytime you have inflammation you then

get Scar Tissue fibrosis and then it

gets to a point where it becomes

irreversible so when a toxin comes in

contact with your lung tissue it

irritates it it’s going to start

creating inflammation and then over time

if there’s a chronic exposure to that

toxin you start developing fibrosis and

you also at the same time get a lowered

amount of your own

antioxidants that are there to protect

the lung so you have this insult or free

radical damage situation and the

lowering of the protective mechanism of

your own body’s antioxidants goes down

but what a lot of people don’t realize

is that these chemicals that go into the

lung

go systemic they don’t stop at the lung

and a lot of them end up in the liver so

the liver is at the heart of the

detoxification system so it’s going to

take those poisons that are in

cigarettes or pollution and it’s going

to dismantle them hopefully and it does

this through a series of

enzyme interactions called phase one

phase two phase three detoxification

enzymes but it gets to a point where it

becomes overloaded where the liver

cannot keep up with this especially if

it’s a chronic exposure to these

chemicals the liver starts to develop

inflammation it can even develop fat

from inflammation as you filled up the

lungs with chemicals and pollution it

can end up in the arteries and create a

lot of heart problems but I think the

key note here is chronic exposure okay

chronic exposure not exposure here and

there that your liver can easily deal

with this but it’s just a routine

chronic exposure over a long period of

time that’s where we have a problem

let’s jump right into what to do about

it there’s some really interesting data

on probably one of the best

uh protective remedies for your lung as

well as the liver and it’s very

different than what you’re going to find

when you do searches on detoxifying your

lungs because normally they’re going to

talk about

you know herbs that help you stop

coughing might decrease swelling but

this other herb that I’m going to

mention is probably the most potent not

just because what it can do for your

lung but what it can do for your liver

and that herb is milk thistle milk

thistle is one of the best antidotes to

poison so if you poison yourself from

either a snake bite or a poisonous

mushroom or toxins or you’re just taking

medications you should be taking milk

thistle to protect the liver well just

so happens that that same protection

occurs in your lungs as well so if you

have COPD or you’re a smoker or you’re

trying to repair your lungs milk thistle

is what you want to start taking because

milk thistle is one of the best

anti-inflammatories it’s the best

protector against toxins and it’s a

really good remedy if you have COPD and

also any type of liver problem number

two tocotranols this is a type of

vitamin E that’s like 50 times stronger

than your regular vitamin E called the

tocopherols so tocatrinals are all about

getting rid of free radical damage it’s

a very powerful antioxidant it’s a very

powerful anti-inflammatory and it’s

especially good to prevent fibrosis so

that stage where you go from

inflammation to scar tissue there’s a

lot of data that talks about tocotrino

helping prevent scar tissue in your

arteries and then the liver

but also in your lungs so tocatrinals

are a number two remedy especially to

reduce inflammation and number three

vitamin D you want to take this probably

in 20 000 IUS but vitamin D is a very

powerful anti-inflammatory and it’s

really good for COPD

any type of lung inflammation as well as

any autoimmune diseases now there are

some interesting links between COPD and

autoimmune you may have antibodies

against your own lung tissue if you have

COPD and this is something you’d have to

have tested but I want to bring it up

because it is an issue and if you have

antibodies that are creating this

inflammation in your lungs this goes

beyond just being exposed to toxins this

is that your immune system that’s

misidentifying your lungs as a pathogen

vitamin D is going to be very important

and this additional remedy so if you

have antibodies against your own lung

tissue I’m going to recommend a product

from another company that I’m not

affiliated with it’s called standard

process and the product is called

pneumotrophin PMG you just take one of

those before bed and that can

potentially act as a decoy

so these antibodies can then attack it

and not your lungs giving your lungs a

chance to heal and regenerate now since

we’re on the topic of good herbs to

prevent inflammation I think it would

probably be appropriate to learn a

little bit more about this milk thistle

and for that you should check this video
