The Respiratory Solution contains considerable information on dealing with respiratory ailments using natural medicines. Written by Dr. Cass Ingram, a physician and author, this book provides lots of advice for staying healthy in a world that is largely polluted.

"There are hundreds of pollutants in city air. The majority of these pollutants arise from vehicular exhaust. Industrial exhaust fouls the air with a host of toxins, including mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, beryllium, sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, dioxins, toxic hydrocarbons, and thousands of others. Jet exhaust is an enormous contributor to air pollution. In cities with international airports the air may be so polluted as to be deemed virtually cancerous." (pages 25, 26)

While most people are aware that pollution affects health, they may not be aware of some simple things that can be done to improve health. Dr. Ingram covers subjects such as the importance of deep breathing, sleeping positions and minimizing exposure to chemical pollutants and basement air. Dr. Ingram states that "...relaxed deep breathing is such a powerful technique that it may by itself result in an immediate improvement in health." (pages 16, 17) Dr. Ingram also says that it is dangerous to breathe through the mouth and that stomach sleeping is the most dangerous position in which to sleep.

After providing practical information dealing with breathing, sleeping, pollution, germs, mold, food allergies and the power of spice extracts, Dr. Ingram spends much of the book writing about "Respiratory Illnesses and Their Natural Cures" - everything from actinomycosis to whooping cough and including ailments such as asthma, bronchitis, colds, emphysema, flu, hay fever, pneumonia, sinusitis and smoke inhalation. For each condition Dr. Ingram describes the respiratory ailment, symptoms, causes as well as "treatment protocol."

A short chapter on "Staying Healthy" looks at such topics as exercise, improved posture, breathing, proper ventilation and drug toxicity. In the last chapter, Dr. Ingram describes the importance of natural cures for respiratory illnesses.

"Proper diet, nutritional supplements, herbal medicines, and detoxification programs directly improve respiratory health. Thus, only through natural, non-toxic methods can the respiratory system be healed. If no effort is made, the toxins accumulate, causing damage as well as disease. Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, herbal extracts, spice extracts, and medicinal foods, like honey and vinegar, are powerful tools for regenerating the lungs and keeping them as healthy as possible. In other words, only natural cures are capable of reversing lung diseases. Plus, natural cures are safe, that is they will not destroy lung or respiratory tissues. Nor will they cause annoying side effects, which plague drug users." (pages 187, 188)

Anyone who wants to protect themselves and their family from respiratory ailments and who want to know ways of treating respiratory problems that may arise will want to read The Respiratory Solution. --N. Glenn Perrett
