Day 15 - Planet In Peril


We know about global warming and the potential catastrophe we're heading towards.  Prince Charles said in a recent speech that we have 100 months to turn the calamity around, or the human race may exist on a very hostile, inhospitable planet that eventually may not be fit for human life.  Welcome to planet Earth.  

Al Gore has been chanting the mantra for a long time.  Most scientists agree that the climate changes are accelerating faster than first estimated. 

Potentially the greatest crisis facing mankind has virtually vanished from all the major news outlets.  The news is dominated by the economy.  Market bailouts, stimulus packages, propping up the banks, trillions of dollars from China, get credit flowing, Bernie Madoff generates the greatest Ponzi scam in world history swindling movie moguls and charities, GM, the largest automobile company in the world is on its knees, gasping for air, greed, arrogance, and the almighty dollar seem to make the world go 'round.   Soon there may not be a world to do business in, but nobody seems to care.  

People with COPD are like a planet in peril. Sea water is remarkably similar to blood.  In the early 1900s experiments were run on a dog.  All the dog's blood was drained and replaced with a filtered sea water solution. On the second day after the transfusion, half the dog's normal blood components had returned, regenerated by its body.  By the fourth day its blood was back to virtually normal and the dog was active, full of energy and happy.  It lived for many years with no adverse effects.  

Global warming depicts carbon dioxide as the evil gas. Yandell Hederson, Ph.D studied the gas and wrote this in a paper he wrote,  "Carbon dioxide is, in fact, a more fundamental component of living matter than is oxygen."   The entire text is here and is required reading for those interested in the condition of COPD and how the lack of carbon dioxide plays a roll. http://cpdrake.googlepages.com/carbondioxide

Our own little COPD plagued planets are in peril.  What to do?  Trees are the lungs of the world. Our lungs need some help too.  Cleanse the body, like I'm documenting.  Increase your carbon dioxide levels by practicing the Buteyko Breathing Method and get much needed oxygen to your 100 trillion cells.  Eat a light nutritious diet heavy with fresh fruit and vegetables.  Drink water whenever your thirsty.  Use a slant board to get the blood flowing to the brain.  Find a power plate and use it to stimulate your organs and glands. 

Keep optimistic, don't believe that COPD is incurable.  Your body has innate healing properties, just give it the support it needs.  Be grateful for all the good in your life. Breathe less, talk less, sleep less, love more.
