Dear Readers

I want to introduce the new product (new for me) that I discovered recently. It is called Dry Sal Inhaler or sometimes Salt Pipe.  Below is some information about this natural product:

The effect of a dry salt inhaler in adults with COPD
“The fascinating results of this study, originally published in Pneumologia 2007 Jul-Sep; 56(3):124-7 concludes: “35 patients were given dry salt inhalers…and were asked to use them up to 30 minutes per day. Spirometry tests and six minutes walk tests were performed initially and after one, two and three months…RESULTS:…we found out there was a statistically significant improvement in the six minutes walk test values… Dry salt inhaler therapy may prove to be a useful adjuvant therapy in COPD as far as effort tolerance and quality of life are concerned.”

Salt inhalers.

Salt inhaler

The original saltpipe, is made of porcelain and filled with halite salt crystals from the famous Transylvanian Praid Salt Mine. This 100% natural agent has as main component Sodium Chloride, Magnesium, Calcium and minerals.

The air circulates between the two porcelain filters and salt crystals, forming aerosolized micro particles of different sizes as follows:

  • The particles larger than 10 microns have a beneficial effect on the upper respiratory tracts by clearing and disinfecting them.
  • The particles between 5-10 microns penetrate into the trachea and central bronchial area. Particles between 2.5-5 microns penetrate deep into the lungs.
  • Particles between 0.1-2.5 similar in size to the most harmful micro-particles coming from atmospheric and industrial pollution and invisible to the human eye penetrate into every single part of the bronchi, bronchi-oles and alveoli.
Crystal salt many benefits

The aerosol salt micro-particles humidify and liquidize the secretions of the respiratory tracts, enhance the movement of cilia in the bronchi, help the rapid elimination of residual tar and protect the respiratory tracts from allergens and microbes.

The salt reduce the viscosity of the mucus and restore the normal mucociliary transport that removes mucus, pathogens, and debris from the airways. In some chronic bronchitis patients, coughing becomes more frequent during the first seven days of daily treatment. Large amounts of mobilized mucus that had been blocking the bronchi-oles are expelled, whereupon the patient experiences general improvement.

My research:

What conditions contribute to common cold?
Below are several opinions that make sense to me.
Cold weather
It’s a mix of factors. Cold viruses thrive in cold weather. Cold weather and moving from heated environments to the outside causes drying of mucus membranes, mucus membranes are a first line defense, this usually causes itchy nose and the tendency to “pick” the nose or rub the eyes, introducing more viruses and bacteria.
The common cold virus will not survive in normal body temperatures. So if your body has the cold virus and you are exposed to cold weather, the virus can multiply. Breathing cold air can help the virus to reproduce if it is there. So try to keep your nose warm.
I would also think that if you were outside a lot in the cold, your body would be spending a lot of energy keeping warm, which would probably lower you immune system’s functioning by a bit.
During the flu season of 2005, an experiment was performed to test the idea that being cold can make you sick. 90 people kept their feet in a bowl of ice water for 20 minutes, while a control group of 90 people put their feet in an
empty bowl for 20 minutes. Over the next 5 days, 29% of the group with chilled feet developed cold symptoms, compared to only 9% of the control group.
Professor Eccles explained this effect by saying that our bodies restrict blood flow to the extremities when we get cold to help conserve body heat for the torso and brain, which really need to be warm. Cutting off the blood flow reduces the supply of white blood cells which are the immune system’s primary weapon against germs.
Food. While his explanation makes sense, there may be a more general effect at work. The human body is a machine that accepts fuel in the form of food, and uses that fuel’s energy to keep us warm and to power our immune systems, muscles and brains. However, in frigid conditions our bodies have probably evolved to say “who cares if I might get sick a week later when I’m going to die of hypothermia in half an hour?”
Vitamins. Most immune system stimulants contain vitamin C. During an infection, vitamin C levels in the bloodstream decrease dramatically. Vitamins A, E and the mineral zinc are also necessary for proper immune system function. Other nutrients, such as calcium and magnesium are needed so that the cells of the body can easily absorb vitamin C. In other words, a good daily multi-vitamin, in addition to a well balanced diet, rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains can be good to fight a common cold and for overall good health.
Change of seasons. In the United States, most colds occur during fall and spring. The common cold starts some time in late August or early
September and incidents of cold remain high until March or April, after which they start to decline. Many scientists attribute the spread of common cold to the season as during fall and spring, people tend to spend more time indoors
and the chances of virus spreading from one person to the next increases.
Do as your mother told you and ware a hat in the winter time anyway. Covering your ears and head will at least make you more comfortable when the icy cold wind is whipping around. And you never know–holding in even a mere 7% of your body heat might just make you that much warmer.
Simple steps to follow
•Rapid temperature changes affect your immune system the most.
So dress warm in winter and don’t forget the hat.
•Don’t run your air conditioner too low in summer.
•Healthy life style is critical for strong immune system. Eat right and exercise.
•Don’t drink cold drinks in any season-period. Cold icy drinks kill your stomach.

chicken soup

Hot soup

If you get sick use home remedies. Not ibuprofen. Chicken soup!

Do not take antibiotics as a common cold remedy. There are hundreds of sites offering great home remedies.
In the winter don’t forget to let the fresh air in-open windows each day for a few minutes.
Be well!

Cure for cold

Common cold

I stumbled on this article in the Parade magazine and was shocked.

Millions of dollars are spent on a very scientific research. By very scientific people. Like this one.

Dr. Birgit Winther, an otolaryngologist and part of a cold-research team at the University of Virginia, is one of the top experts on the subject. For 30 years, this tidy, petite scientist has studied the untidy subject of sneezes, coughs, and runny noses. She’s the kind of fearless researcher who weighs dirty tissues, harvests mucus from swollen nostrils, and smears it on phones and light switches.

She suggest a few “simple” remedies. Dr. Winther calls drugs “simple remedies”!

Treat the individual symptoms that bother you most,” Winther advises. Her step-by-step plan: At the first sign of symptoms, take ibuprofen to ease sore throat, headache, and malaise. If a stuffy nose is a problem, add an OTC nasal spray. For a runny nose, use a prescription spray (especially useful if you must be around people the first three days of a cold, the most contagious time). Old-style antihistamines, such as Benadryl or Chlor-Trimeton, can also alleviate congestion and sneezes but may make you drowsy

Great!

Tea and honey

Meanwhile the distinguished learned doctors are forgetting about very simple way to prevent cold and to get rid of cold quickly. My grandmother taught me a few tricks.

Like dress warm when it is cold outside! Like several layers of clothes, warm socks and shoes. Don’t forget the gloves. Put the heat on.

Don’t drink cold drinks. Forget the ice cream!

My own advise: stay fit and healthy. Then your immune system will do the job.

But if you get the cold forget the pills!

Hot tea with lemon and honey tastes better than ibuprofen that ruins your liver!

And chicken soup is much better for you and more pleasant than nasal spray.

For a runny nose, use a prescription spray”

Prescription spray? Why don’t you use the spray, doctor and I will get by with facial tissue for a day or two!

Old-style antihistamines, such as Benadryl or Chlor-Trimeton, can also alleviate congestion and sneezes but may make you drowsy”

I honestly would prefer to get drowsy with the help of some good Bourbon!

“Whatever you do, Winther cautions, do not take antibiotics. They kill bacteria, not viruses. Doctors prescribe them more than 40 million times a year, which has led to more lethal, drug-resistant strains of bacteria.”

A agree about the antibiotics

And finally my advise: go to this site and thousands of other sites to get some GOOD advise.

Just use common sense and forget the drugs!

And forget Dr. Birgit Winther!
