Emphysema / vitamin A / retinoic acid

The use of full complement nutritional supplements provide the 78 vitamins
and minerals necessary to grow a healthy new cell. If we re-establish our
immune system
by detoxifying our bodies, and take a powerful natural (as opposed to
syntheic) nutritional supplement we grow healthy new cells everwhere in our
body. I am doing this as we speak and my emphysema is slowly improving. That
means I am regaining my breath and my chronic chest infections are
disappearing. I am being cured of emphysema and spend much of my time
helping others do the same.

Vitamin may cure smoking disease

Smoking can cause emphysema
A form of vitamin A could one day provide the basis for a cure for the

disease emphysema.
British researchers have found that retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin

A,

can cure the disease in mice.

Writing in the European Respiratory Journal, they said it reverses damage

There is currently no cure for emphysema. The disease causes progressive

to the lungs and can eventually kill.

Breathing problems

Emphysema usually affects older people. It is generally the result of

long-term

damage to the lungs, such as a lifetime of smoking. It can also affect

people

working in certain industries such as mining.

The disease can start as mild breathlessness. However, over time it can

It occurs when the tiny air sacs in the lungs called alveoli, through

which

Quoted message said:

oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream, lose their natural elasticity.

This means spent air is pushed back out into the lungs. The lungs feel

overfull

Quoted message said:

and it is a struggle for sufferers to push air in and out.

This eventually means that the body is not getting enough oxygen, leading

to

fatigue and weight loss.

Scientists believe that if they can return the tiny air sacs in the lungs

to

Quoted message said:

their former healthy state they can cure the disease.

This latest study by Professor Malcolm Maden and colleagues at the Medical
Research Council's Centre for Developmental Neurobiology at King's College
London raises hopes that a cure can one day be found.

The researchers bred mice with all the hallmarks of emphysema. The mice

had

been given a chemical soon after birth, which prevented the tiny air sacs

in

Quoted message said:

the lungs from developing properly.

By the time these mice were adults they had serious breathing problems and
their lungs were unable to exchange gases effectively.

When these mice were given retinoic acid, the number and size of the tiny

air

Quoted message said:

sacs in the lungs returned to normal. Their lungs exchanged gases more
effectively and they were able to breathe more easily.

Triggers genes

The researchers believe that retinoic acid triggers key genes into action,
enabling the tiny air sacs to recover.

While further studies are needed, this research raises hopes that retinoic

acid

Quoted message said:

could form the basis of a cure for emphysema.

Professor Maden said it could also provide the basis for a treatment for

the

severe lung disease COPD or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

"This would be quite significant," he told BBC News Online. "Incidence of
emphysema and COPD are rocketing world-wide.

"This is a relatively simple compound to take. It is already used to treat
severe acne.

"Being able to cure these conditions would be quite significant."

That's what happens to people who eat such highly contaminated products as Bing
Han Ginseng. The fungicides and pesticides contain Neurotoxins that reduce
even the staunchest & remorseless hucksters to buzzwording nincompoops.

There are not 78 minerals and vitamins needed by the body. If you
disagree, name them all.

Quoted message said:

If we re-establish our immune system by detoxifying our bodies,

First, establish that our bodies are "toxic" and that you have some
way of removing these toxins. Don't be shy, now.

Oh, like your massively overpriced ginseng?
