In this ground-breaking work, Robert Green Jr., N.D. presents the first book
ever to take an in depth look at the therapies based on nutrition, natural
medicine, and alternative medicine that are capable of improving the health and
condition of people living with emphysema/COPD. This book, written primarily
for individuals who have been diagnosed by a physician with emphysema or
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, contains the vital information on
natural and alternative therapies that you will want to know about.
The first book devoted to presenting both scientific and historically based approaches
to emphysema and COPD exclusively through nutrition and natural medicine.
• Explains the benefits of detoxification, dietary changes, and food combining
• Details 45 suggested herbs and 26 nutritional supplements as well as information on
how to stop smoking
Approximately 35 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with some
form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)--emphysema constituting 18
million of that group. Worldwide, as many as 293 million people suffer with these
conditions. COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in America, claiming nearly
120,000 lives annually. Yet conventional approaches to treatment, with their regimens
of drugs and unceasing physical therapy, provide neither cure nor significant relief.
In Natural Therapies for Emphysema, Robert Green shows that alternative holistic
therapies ranging from herbs to homeopathy offer great promise in relieving COPD’s
debilitating symptoms. Starting with the basics of the physiology of respiration, Green
presents a comprehensive program that includes detoxification, dietary changes,
nutritional supplements, and herbal medicine; breathing techniques and exercise
options such as aerobics, yoga, qigong, and tai chi; and alternative therapies such as
homeopathy, acupuncture, and massage--noting how and why each therapy works.
He also details how to stop smoking, includes resources for alternative health
practitioners, and provides sources for the alternative products recommended.
The well established, historically tested, and scientifically based methods of nutrition
and natural therapeutics presented in this book, when consistently applied, have all
shown themselves to be effective in helping to improve the health of individuals who
are living with the consequences of emphysema / COPD.
