Lung disease is the #2 leading cause of death in the world
So it is important to protect the lungs, especially during the fall when the lungs are at its weakest. When the weather changes, many people experience more coughing or sniffling and many are more easily susceptible to the colds, cough, the flu and other respiratory infections.
If lung problems do not improve despite medications, we need to look at possible problems with
the spleen, digestion, insulin resistance and the kidneys. If you look at the Chinese 5-Element System (Figure 1), you will see that the spleen and kidneys support the lung system. By improving both, lung function will improve, as seen in the following case.
An 88-year-old female has a family history of lung problems. She herself has had lung issues and breathing difficulties since she was in her 40s. Further analysis found that her kidney and digestive systems were weak. By improving both, her lung problems were well managed and she is able to live a long life.

Support your Spleen and Kidneys for Better Lung Function |
|
Some people with a respiratory infection take antibiotics but find that they do not work. Why? Their spleen or digestive system is weak. It is true that the majority of our immune system is in the gut. So if you find that your lung problem is not improving, you need to improve digestion and the spleen in order to boost the immune system and improve lung conditions, like in these cases.
A male patient with tuberculosis was on antibiotics but they were not completely working. After improving his digestion, he did well.
J. Chang from FL has a 60-year-old male client with teeth marks and crack on the tongue. He’s had sinus problems all his life and some constipation. He was taking antibiotics for his sinus issues but they did not clear. This is because over 80% of our immune function is in the gut. Due to his constipation, his immunity was weakened. So he took CFC, a supplement that helps cleanse the colon (2-3 capsules before lunch, 3 capsules before dinner and 3 capsules at bedtime). It improved his bowel movements to 3 times daily and helped cleanse his digestion. As a result, his sinus issues cleared. After a year, he never had sinus problems anymore.
So if you have lung problems that do not improve, check for teeth marks or a crack on the tongue, both signs of digestive issues. If you have these markers, this means that food or nutrients that we ingest do not move and are therefore not distributed and absorbed by the target tissues.
Teeth marks also signify insulin resistance, which affects how food is digested as well. In fact, insulin levels have been linked to stomach and colorectal cancer and other types of cancer. Moderately high insulin has been associated with 69% higher risk for stomach cancer while high levels of insulin has been linked to 101% higher risk for stomach cancer and 17% - 42% risk for colorectal cancer. If you have teeth marks, fat concentrated mostly around the waist, hypoglycemia symptoms (e.g., shaky and grouchy when you get hungry), or get sleepy after you eat, then you are insulin resistant. You need to correct it right away not just to reduce your risk for different types of cancer but also to improve your digestion and, consequently, your lungs. For insulin resistance, Myomin, OxyPower and Diabend are recommended.
|
So if you do have teeth marks or a crack on the tongue, improve your spleen and digestive system with Digestron and Asparagus Extract. If you have constipation and need digestive cleansing, take CFC. If you have insulin resistance and lung problems, take OxyPower. It improves breathing problems and insulin resistance. Myomin and Diabend will also help with insulin resistance.
|
|
If you have asthma and chronic (long-term) lung problems that do not seem to improve, your kidneys are most likely weak. Check to see if you have teeth marks, edema (water retention) or bubbles in the urine. If you do, then make sure to improve your kidneys to get relief of your lung issues.
|
Synergen is excellent for addressing both lung and kidney problems. It helps with chronic asthma and bronchitis, especially in the elderly, and is excellent for symptoms such as shortness of breath or coughing with runny nose. Synergen reduces Immunoglobulin E (IgE) in order to relieve bronchial inflammation associated with asthma, bronchitis, allergies and other lung problems.
|
|
The foods we eat also matter when it comes to lung health. In the fall, it is best to eat sour fruits like oranges and grapes. But avoid spicy foods.

Cold and Flu Season: Protect yourself from Infection with Bamboo Extract |
|
Dr. I. Lelchuk, MD DO from NY, reveals that, during the flu season, she always gives her staff Bamboo Extract to protect themselves from getting sick!
If your immunity is low (look for the thick white tongue coating) or you already have a lung problem, you need to protect yourself from infection. Take Bamboo Extract before you go out in public. For anyone who travels, goes shopping, works in hospitals, schools or places where there are many people, take Bamboo Extract before you head out. Bamboo Extract is best taken before the cold and flu season or at the first sign of infection.
Bamboo Extract Excellent for Viral Infections, even H1N1
During the H1N1 outbreak a few years ago in Asia, Bamboo Extract worked so well that it sold out completely.
|
|
Thick White Tongue Coating: Low Immunity |
|
If you have a thick white coating on your tongue (Figure 2), this is a sign of low immunity and lung problem. This means that you are at higher risk for catching an infection, such as the colds, flu or pneumonia. You need to avoid sick people and boost your immunity.
Take Bamboo Extract and Cordyceps Extract if you have a thick white coating on the tongue. Bamboo Extract is excellent to avoid respiratory infections. If needed, antibiotics can be added. For pneumonia, especially in the elderly, antibiotics must be taken. Add Bamboo Extract for synergistic effect. Cordyceps Extract boosts the immune system and improves lung function.
|
|
For People Using Inhalers |
|
For people using inhalers, sometimes the symptoms can still persist. Adding Bamboo Extract can greatly help, like in these cases.
R. Welch, DC from California, has a 6-year-old boy patient who took Bamboo Extract for recurring colds and asthma. His mom had this to write: “...Not only did the Bamboo Extract help him get over the colds in a week and a half but I have also not had to use his inhaler once in over 6 months.”
Dr. Welch relates another case where a female patient who developed severe coughing after a flu shot. She also was asthmatic and was using 2 inhalers daily. After taking Bamboo Extract, her coughing was relieved and she hasn’t used her inhalers since.
|
|
If you have Cough with Phlegm |
|
Coughing is our body’s way of clearing the lungs. If you have a cough with phlegm, you can tell the type of infection and address it accordingly.
If you have white mucus when you cough, it is likely due to a viral infection. Take Bamboo Extract.
If it is yellow or green mucus, then it is due to bacteria, take Bamboo Extract with antibiotics.
Asparagus Extract can also be taken to improve immunity, like in this case.
S. Watson, DC, CCN, from CA, has a patient with a lingering cough for 10 months. Antibiotics have been useless in her case. But after trying Bamboo Extract and Asparagus Extract for 4 days, the cough and mucous were cleared completely.
|
|
Do you have a Geographic Tongue? |
|
Patchy coating on the tongue can make it appear geographic ( Figure 3). If you have this type of tongue, you may have respiratory problems like sinusitis, asthma or allergies.
For sinus or allergy problems, both Sinus Chi and Bamboo Extract are recommended.
For asthma, take Synergen, Bamboo Extract and OxyPower.
S. Duncan, DC, ND from Texas, has a 27-year-old female patient who has had asthma since she was 7 years old. For 20 years, she has used steroids, inhalers and an oxygen tank. About 1 ½ years ago, her symptoms became worse. She gets short of breath even when she talks. She is also pale. Then she started taking Bamboo Extract and OxyPower. After 9 months, her breathing issues completely cleared. She has since stopped taking all her medications as well as using the oxygen tank.
|
|
Sinus Chi for Sinusitis, Rhinitis |
|
Sinus Chi is an herbal supplement that can reduce inflammation in the sinuses and can block histamine release for the relief of rhinitis (hay fever) symptoms. Studies show that it helps reduce sinus congestion, runny nose, sneezing, chills, fever and headaches.
- For sinus allergies or hay fever, take Sinus Chi at the start of the allergy season for best results.
- For sinus infections, combine with Bamboo Extract for optimal results.
- To relieve nasal and lung congestion, combine with OxyPower. You will see these results in these cases.
J. Hansen, DC from CA, has a 41 y/o/m patient who was scheduled for sinus surgery. Dr. Hansen suggested Sinus Chi and Bamboo Extract. Three weeks later, his sinuses cleared and he didn’t need surgery anymore.
K.B., a 59 y/o/f from TX, had sinus surgery which made her prone to severe sinus infections. She tried many different antibiotics, including Cipro, for two years, with minimal effects. She still had the infection. Then she started taking Sinus Chi and Bamboo Extract and stopped taking antibiotics. In 3 months, her sinus infection cleared.
|
|
Synergen for Asthma, Especially for the Elderly |
|
The fall season is considered the most dangerous time for the lungs, especially for the elderly. It is at this time that breathing issues get worse; some even start to have asthma. For people who have had asthma and lung problems for a long time, their kidneys need to be improved as well. Synergy would be the perfect supplement to improve both the kidneys and the lungs. As mentioned previously, Synergen reduces IgE levels to reduce swelling in the airways of the lungs.
J. Blair, ND from NJ, has a 45-year-old male patient who had a cough and lung condition for months. After taking Bamboo Extract and Synergen for 3 days, the cough disappeared. A month later, his lungs cleared.
H.D., a 69-year-old female from NV, had asthma and intermittent fever for more than 15 years. She tried many different medications with no results. After taking Synergen, Sinus Chi and Bamboo Extract for 4 months, her lung condition almost cleared.

Clear Your Lungs of Smog and Pollution, Worse in the Fall and Winter |
|
Asthma, allergies, congestion, bronchitis, pneumonia and other lung conditions are typically worse this time of year. This is because smog and air pollution is worse when the air is cold and does not move. Even healthy individuals can start to feel the effects of poor air quality like sneezing, coughing, eye irritation and trouble breathing.
For example, a woman was travelling to Beijing in October. When she got off the plane, immediately her eyes started to itch and she couldn’t breathe. About 3 to 4 days later, she developed a lung infection and had to take antibiotics.
It turns out that the PM2.5 level in Beijing at that time was over 150 ug/m3. PM2.5 or Particulate Matter 2.5 is one of the deadliest forms of smog and air pollution, able to penetrate deep into the lungs and cause damage. China is the 6th polluted country while Egypt is the most polluted country.
So before you head outside, check the air quality. If the air appears hazy like fog then it PM2.5 levels are likely increasing. But even inside the house or building, PM2.5 can come from smoking, cooking, burning candles, and operating fireplaces.
When a particle (like PM2.5.) goes into the lungs, the alveoli are normally able to force out that particle. But if the lungs are weak, these particles can get stuck in the lungs, accumulate and eventually cause infection.
Take OxyPower and Bamboo Extract if you are exposed to smog, smoking and other air pollutants
OxyPower reduces C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and inflammation and opens the alveoli to allow air/oxygen to enter deeply into and clear the lungs. This is excellent especially for people with COPD and breathing difficulties. Bamboo Extract has antibacterial and antiviral properties to help protect the lungs from infection.

Nail Clubbing: Lung and/or Heart Problem |
|
If you have nail clubbing ( Figure 4), this is correlated with a 65% change of a lung or heart problem. Clubbing in both hands was actually seen in many lung diseases ( Table 1). For example, Mayo Clinic reported that in cystic fibrosis patients, 100% had nail clubbing while 53.7% of pneumonitis patients had it (Source:
J American Academy of Dermatology. June 2005; 52(6): 1020-28).
If nail clubbing is seen in opaque nails ( Figure 5), then it is definitely a lung problem. In fact, you will see opaque nails in many lung cancer patients.
OxyPower and Cordyceps Extract can help improve lung function if you see nail clubbing and opaque nails. OxyPower reduces inflammation and allows the lungs to adjust to low oxygen and low pressure environments. Cordyceps Extract strengthens the respiratory system and allows the body to protect itself from pollutants and allergens more efficiently. If you already have lung cancer, Angiostop is recommended (Click
HERE for more information on Angiostop)
Nov 2016 - S. Barbosa, ND from TX, has a female patient with LAM disease (lymphangioleiomyomatosis), a rare lung disease characterized by abnormal growth of muscle cells in the lungs, lymphatic system and kidneys. She always had breathing difficulties. She also has facial angiofibromas, which are growths on her face that is typical of LAM disease. She has tried many therapies but none have helped. After a month of taking OxyPower, her lung capacity improved so much and the lumps on her face reduced.

Patient Case Report: Combination of Lung Markers |
|
Sometimes a combination of different factors can manifest in the body through different markers, like the following case.
A 53 y/o/m male patient from Morocco, but lived mostly in Egypt, presented with clubbing and opaque nails and a thick white coating on his tongue ( Figure 6), all signs of a lung problem. The pollution in Egypt and Morocco definitely contributed to his lung condition. In fact, he has a high level of radon at 20.5 pCi/L (normal is 4 pCi/L). In addition, he was also a smoker. Air pollution, radon and smoking can cause lung cancer and other diseases. Indeed, he has several nodules in his lungs, an aortic aneurysm and high blood pressure. Fluid has already built up in his lungs so he has difficulty breathing.

Patient Case Report: Chronic Lung Problem did not Improve due to Digestive Issue |
|
We recently had a case of a 75-year-old female from CA who is a classic example of how lung problems do not improve despite medications because other issues needed to be addressed. She has nail clubbing ( Figure 7A), indicating both lung and heart problems. She has circulation problems already (cold hands and feet, neuropathy) and has been taking Cozaar (an ACE inhibitor) and other medications for her blood pressure but her systolic pressure still reached over 200 mmHg.
She has trouble breathing and chronic coughing with mucus; it is especially worse during the fall. She also presents with a black tongue ( Figure 7B), which indicates both digestion and kidney issues. In her case, it is more of a digestive issue because of the cracks on her tongue. For the last 10 years, she has seen 10 different doctors but none of them were able to help her lung problems. She did reflexology and acupuncture also but none really helped. It wasn’t until recently that one doctor told her to stop Cozaar. One of the side effects of ACE inhibitors is actually coughing.
She also has cherry angiomas all over her abdomen. She actually had dense breasts for years. Myomin was able to clear the dense breasts. The cherry angiomas signify estrogen dominance which is a factor of insulin resistance. This means that her nutrients were not being distributed to target tissues. This is reinforced by the cracking on her tongue which indicates digestive issues and the branching veins under her tongue ( Figure 7C) which indicate liver problems. Her lung problems were not getting better over the years because she needed to improve her digestion. She is now on OxyPower, Vein Lite, Liver Chi, Digestion, Sinus Chi and Bamboo Extract.

SUMMARY |
The fall and winter seasons are most dangerous for the lungs so more people are susceptible to colds, the flu and infection. High-risk people like the elderly, children and those with low immunity and existing lung problems should be careful. Eat sour fruits like oranges and grapes which are good for the lungs. But avoid spicy foods.
- To avoid respiratory infections, or if you have a thick white coating on the tongue, take Bamboo Extract right away before you go to public places or at the start of symptoms.
- Bamboo Extract is especially recommended for those on inhalers or those who have a cough with phlegm. It can be taken with antibiotics for respiratory bacterial infections like pneumonia.
- If you have a geographic tongue, you most likely have sinusitis, asthma or allergies. For sinusitis and allergies, Sinus Chi and Bamboo Extract are recommended. For asthma, Synergen with Bamboo Extract and OxyPower are needed.
- To help clear the lungs, take OxyPower and Bamboo Extract in order to help oxygen penetrate deeper and force out pollutants and avoid a lung infection.
- To improve lung function, take OxyPower and Cordyceps Extract.
- Remember, it is also important to support your kidneys and spleen/digestion in order to improve lung function.
If lung infection does not improve even with antibiotic use, digestion and spleen need to be improved because our immunity is concentrated in the gut. Check for markers of digestive issues. Digestron, Asparagus Extract or CFC can support digestion.
If asthma and other chronic lung conditions do not improve, the kidneys are most likely weak. Synergen will address both lung and kidney issues as well as OxyPower and Cordyceps Extract.
