What is Total Lung Therapy?
Total Lung Therapy is formulated to cleanse the respiratory
tract and provide total support for the respiratory system. It
is a powerful healing and therapeutic formula to aid people
with chronic lung ailments (ex. Asthma) and is ideal for those
who are simply looking to ensure optimal respiratory health.
How is it delivered?
Total Lung Therapy consists of powdered herbs and amino
acids delivered in vegetable capsules.
What does it do?
Total Lung Therapy helps to expel mucus and other material
from the lungs, bronchi, and trachea. It includes ingredients
to soothe, heal, protect and strengthen the entire respiratory
system.
How does it work?
Your lungs bring fresh oxygen into your body and remove
carbon dioxide and other waste gases that your body doesn’t
need. To get the oxygen your body needs, you inhale air
through your mouth and nose. The mucous membranes in
your mouth and nose warm and moisten the air, and trap
particles of foreign matter (such as dirt, dust and pollution). The
air passes through the throat into the trachea (windpipe). The
trachea divides into the left and right bronchi. Like a branch,
each bronchus divides again and again, becoming narrower
and narrower. Your smallest airways end in the alveoli, small,
thin air sacs that are arranged in clusters like bunches of
balloons. When you breathe in by enlarging the chest cage,
the “balloons” expand as air rushes in to fill the vacuum. When
you breathe out, the “balloons” relax and air moves out of the
lungs. Tiny blood vessels surround each of the 300 million
alveoli in the lungs. Oxygen moves across the walls of the air
sacs, is picked up by the blood and carried to the rest of the
body. Carbon dioxide or waste gas from the blood passes into
the air sacs and is released with each breath.
Optimal lung function is vital for your body to receive the
oxygen it needs and power your bodies every process. If
the respiratory tract is not in good health, it can become
sluggish and result in congestion and/or poor functioning.
Total Lung Therapy has 3 major functions
1.It works to cleanse the respiratory system by expelling
mucous from deep within the respiratory system.
2.It works to sooth and heal the tissue of the respiratory
tract.
3.It protects and strengthens the respiratory system.
Total Lung Therapy can be used by asthmatics and those
with other lung ailments to help cleanse, protect, and
heal damaged tissue in the respiratory tract. It can also
be used by people who are healthy
to proactively cleanse and protect
their lungs and by smokers and
ex-smokers who need extra lung
support and cleansing. It is perfect
for people who live in large cities
where air pollution is an issue
as a preventative way to reduce
the negative effects of long term
exposure.
How do I take it?
Take one capsule three times daily.
Take with meals providing protein.
Consult a health care practitioner for
use beyond 6 months.
What can I expect?
Total Lung Therapy is designed to cleanse and heal the
respiratory system, improve its function and provide
antioxidant protection. You may experience the need to
clear mucous more frequently during the first 14 days. This
is normal and beneficial. You may experience that it is easier
to breathe (take in oxygen) and feel positive health benefits
from increased oxygenation of the body. If you have chronic
conditions such as asthma you may notice improvement in
symptoms and find it easier to take in breath.
In all cases, Total Lung Therapy is providing healing and
protection to the respiratory tract. This does not always
show as physical improvements you can see if you are in
good health as the benefit is internal.
Support Products
Ultimate FloraMAX 50 Billion is a 50 billion culture, 10 strain
probiotic formula. Research has shown that probiotics may
be useful for preventing respiratory infections. Recently,
Canadian researchers published a systematic review to
evaluate the evidence for probiotics to treat allergic rhinitis
and asthma (Vliagoftis et al, 2008). The study author’s
concluded that probiotics may be beneficial for allergic
rhinitis in terms of both reducing symptoms and medication
use.
