Bronchitis is the inflammation of the tubes that lead from the throat to the lungs. The inflammation tends to impede the process of breathing because phlegm tends to stick to its insides. The treatment outlined in the section on asthma should help in bronchitis too, but the following procedures are being repeated here for the benefit of the readers.
| The sufferer from bronchitis must fast for as long as the acute symptoms last. The sufferer should only take water and orange juice. An all fruit diet should be taken when the fever attendant upon bronchitis has gone down and the breathing is easier. A lot salt bath every night or alternative nights will be beneficial during the acute stage of disease. A wet pack | |
| should be applied to the upper part of the chest every day. Hot towels (dipped in hot water and wrung out) applied to the chest are also helpful. The phlegm sticking to the insides of the bronchial tubes will be dislodged and the sufferer will feel an immediate relief in breathing. After the hot compresses, a cold compress should be applied. | |
After relief is obtained the sufferer should take to natural feeding because if that is not done, the disease is likely to re-occur and it may become chronic. Breathing exercises, a friction sponge (rubbing the body with a hand towel dipped in water and wrung out) should be taken twice or thrice weekly.
Spinal manipulation under the guidance of a trained naturopath should be taken recourse to in obstinate cases.
Leukemia is derived from Greek, which means “white blood” occurs when there is an excess of abnormal white blood cells in the blood. The disease usually starts in the white blood cells. The blood-forming (hematopoietic) cells of the bone marrow make leukocytes to defend the body against infectious organisms, such as viruses and bacteria. If the cells reach the central nervous system and build up in the cerebrospinal fluid that support s the brain and spinal column, they can cause headaches and seizures.
