Bronchitis

Things to do:

• You need to be screened for food allergies and sensitivities, and then avoid eating those foods you are allergic or sensitive to.  Go to NAET www.naet.com
• During the onset of symptoms, eat hot, spicy organic foods, such as chili peppers, garlic, ginger and onions, in order to open the air passages and encourage the elimination of mucus. Spices such as mustard and horseradish can also be helpful for this purpose.
• Emphasize organic, whole foods, especially plenty of fresh, raw organic vegetables, nuts and seeds, organic poultry, and wild-caught fish.
• Garlic and onions should be staples in your meals, due to their powerful health benefits for the lungs and overall respiratory system.
• Drink plenty or pure, fresh water each day (at least eight ounces every two hours).
• Organic, extra virgin olive and coconut oils should also be used liberally.
• Homemade soups, such as turkey or chicken, vegetable, and barley, can be consumed in order to help thin mucus.
• Drink plenty of pure, fresh water each day; a minimum of eight ounces should be drunk every two hours.
• Vegan diets have been found to significantly improve symptoms of most respiratory conditions, including bronchitis.  According to leading naturopathic physician and researcher Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., a vegan diet can significantly improve symptoms of most respiratory conditions, including bronchitis. Dr. Pizzorno reports that over 90 percent of all people who follow a vegan diet for at least one year experience notable improvements in their health.

What not to do:

• Do not consume any artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda, NutraSweet or Aspartame
• Do not consume high fructose corn syrup or mono-sodium glutamate.
• Avoid all sugar and sugar products.
  • Avoid bananas as they encourage mucus production.
  • Avoid wheat and wheat by-products.
• Do not drink any carbonated beverages.
• Avoid all fast food restaurants and commercially processed foods.
• Avoid all canned food and all foods containing artificial ingredients, such as additives, colorings, flavorings, and preservatives.
• Eliminate conventional dairy products.  The best dairy products are raw, unpasteurised and homogenised dairy from grass fed cows.  If this is unavailable, then buy organic dairy.
• Avoid conventional beef. The best beef is organic grass fed beef. The second best is organic meat; this includes beef, veal, lamb, chicken and turkey. Check out www.grasslandbeef.com.
