*Coughs*
Is that how you feel? Because that's what happens with the chronic cough and
there's some really neat natural remedies and natural treatments to help
people to get rid of chronic coughs. We put all the information together in the
video of what to do about coughs, some treatments you haven't heard about and
some natural things that may help you, here it is.
Hello everyone, this is about coughing, how to stop coughing and the video talks
about why we cough, what triggers a cough, how you can stop coughing. So a cough is
also known as ptosis, it's a sudden reflex that humans and many animals have
and the purpose is to clear the throat and the breathing passages of a foreign
particle, microbes, irritants fluids, and mucus, it's the rapid expulsion of air
from the lungs. Now coughing can be done deliberately or involuntarily.
Although coughing can be a sign of serious illness, more often, it will clear
up on its own without the need for medical attention but there's several
different types of cough and then I wanted to share with you my favorite and
little known way to take care of chronic coughs, of asthma and allergies and
chronic breathing problems. It's called the infraspinous respiratory reflux
which is a mouthful, we'll get to it at the end of the video. Now talking about
the different types of coughs, there's allergens from pollen, from dust, from
animal, from mold. Irritants can cause coughing like smoking, inhaling of
secondhand smoke, pollution, chemical, fumes, perfumes or air fresheners and
then medical conditions like the common cold, upper respiratory tract infections,
flu, pneumonia, whooping, cough, asthma, gastro esophageal reflux disease, sinus
infections, post nasal drip, acute bronchitis, chronic bronchitis, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer and heart failure can all cause
chronic cough. Now the medications, that are frequently associated with coughs are
blood pressure medicines like ACE inhibitors or beta blockers and then
that you start talking about the different types of cough.. A dry cough
which is usually the result of a cold and a flu virus and you're coughing and
nothing really comes up and a wet or productive cough
often caused by an infection, a flu or virus where you're actually coughing up
mucus from chronic obstruction. Now some things to be aware of.. A persistent or
chronic cough is one that lasts more than three weeks, it may be caused by
heart disease, asthma, lung disease, bronchitis or whooping cough. Now a
couple different ways to treat chronic coughs.. One, I think it's really important
to support the immune system I like to use La Masia
or echinacea or garlic goldenseal. So my favorite products for immune systems
support are immuno power or microbe support, an important vitamin to take for
chronic coughs which helps to lubricate the mucosal membrane is vitamin A.
Vitamin A acts like lubrication for everything from your nose to the exit of
your body, detox therapy by getting the chronic problems out. I really like a spa
therapy, particularly a wet spa and then let's talk about the infraspinatus
respiratory reflex and a couple other natural things that help with coughs.
Now my experience with chronic cough is to reset the nerve that is associated with
the natural ptosis or the natural coughing mechanism and it's treated
through a process called the IR artery. Cough treatments that are mostly aim
at making a patient feel better and generally do not decrease the length of
the cough are things like honey, which helps to coat the throat and if it's raw
organic honey,think it has a really nice immune system effect despite what
some of the medical literature says, I think it's really really neat.
Cough medications that are associated symptoms for infection such as fever or a stuffy
nose, however, there's no compelling evidence that cough medicines actually
make your cough go away quicker and for small children, giving cough medicine can
be not very healthy. Cough suppressants that suppress the
cough reflex are generally only prescribed for a dry cough. An example of
those would be, examples those would be full codeine, dextromethorphan and
antihistamines and then expectorants are things that help to bring the mucus
up and materials from the trachea the bronchi and lungs and there are many
types of expectorants with big long names that you
look up. Now another way to help with cough medications or chronic coughs is
oxygen is the foundation of life so if we can get our lungs to improve by
eliminating the allergy or the lung condition, one of the most remarkable
therapies for respiration, for asthma, for even allergies and chronic coughs was
developed by Dr. Harry Philibert, a medical doctor down in Louisiana and he
called the technique the infraspinatus respiratory reflux.
Now the infraspinatus respiratory reflux is a neuromuscular response that is
directly linked to the most sympathetic nervous system which is involved in the
bronchial spasms that can trigger an asthma attack, it's also really effective
for coughs and that IRR is also involved in pneumonia and bronchitis pathways.
Cccording to Dr. Philibert who successfully treated thousands of
patients from suffering from asthma and other respiratory disorders and the
manipulation of the IR reflux can reverse many times, completely eliminate
chronic coughing and asthma. Now IRR therapy involves the use of propane
injections into the infraspinatus muscle which during spasms cause asthma pain
and shortness of breath, it also has an effect on that cough reflex. In acute
episodes, Dr. Philibert says that practitioners can use, in the case of
acute episodes, Dr. Philibert says practitioners can achieve complete cessation of
asthma symptoms in a single session, while the chronic cases of chronic cough
sometimes can take three to five treatments. Clinical studies of the
effectiveness of the IRR injections on a series of over 4,000 asthma patients
resulted in substantial improvements of symptoms and approximately 85%
of the patients. In addition to improvement of commonly occurring
associated shoulder pain because that nerve that controls the throat, sometimes
it's affected in shoulder conditions, approximately half of those patients
reported themselves cured after a series of objections stating that they didn't
have symptoms of the cough and the asthma and didn't require medicine.
Dr. Philibert trained enormous amount of physicians across the United States
in this technique and I want to someone that was trained in the technique and
I've seen it in practice over the last 12 years. Now the medicine that's
associated with the technique is called propane,
it's commonly referred to as the king of medicines, it's a glycol ester
of Para-aminobenzoic Acid, it was first synthesized in 1905 by a
German chemist named Alfred Einhorn and it does not have these sulfite
groups associated that novocaine or lidocaine has and therefore,
it does not cause allergic reactions sometimes associated with
novocaine. I've never seen an allergic reaction in the thousands of patients
that we've treated at the office. Procaine has been used for many years in neural
therapy is the medicine of choice for many reasons because it stabilizes the
membrane and the nerves associated with the sympathetic nervous system and mast
cells which create histamine, it's safe and it doesn't contain any preservatives
found in lidocaine or in bicane or marcaine and it has some really nice
anti-aging effects according to the Journal of Gerontology by Dr. Ana Aslan
and what it does is, it's a vasodilator, it helps to relax the smooth
muscle surrounding the blood vessels, it breaks down into pair Para-aminobenzoic Acid
and Diethylaminoethanol or DAAE and PABA seals capillaries prevents
edema, prevents capillary leakage of the red and white blood cells and is a
capillary arterial vasodilator, it's a capillary arterial vasodilator, it
stimulates vascular growth factors and vascular regeneration. Procaine is my
favorite medicine to use in the office, the second is vitamin C.
Procaine also has a really nice antidepressant effect that works as an
MAO inhibitor and inhibits serotonin, oxidation and it doesn't need to be
taken to the liver to be metabolized like lidocaine. So why does IRR work?
It removes interference filas associated with the respiratory system. According to
Dr. Peter Dose, anything that causes interference fields or focus produces a
change in the cell environment, enhancing the reactive capacity of individual
organs and of the organism as a whole. When there is a hereditary or acquired
organic predisposition, this can result in illness due to interference fields or
a foci. The interference can set off illness or pain in any part of the body
distance to the interference field with it its own local segmental
area. Now what does all of that mean? It means that if your body's in computer, we
call in tech support, tech support says to open closed and reset the system and
that's what the IRR does for the lung fields, it has a dramatic change and it
brings about immediate relief of the disease without the use of more costly
and time-consuming investigations in many conditions.
It doesn't help everybody, it helps a lot of people. Now any stress which exceeds
the limit of tolerance sets off a shock reaction in the automatic defense system
and this shock reaction is the system's defensive response, it's irrelevant if
this context, whether the stimuli is in the form of a chemical, a physical,
a bacterial or psychological irritant. The interference fields can be caused by
surgery, by vaccinations, by injection sites, by trauma, by piercing,
by inflammation, by infections, it can be by disease organs
and procaine is also used in the removal of these interference fields because of
the amazing effect that it has on the nerves. So when someone has a chronic
cough, there's multiple causes, there's multiple reasons why you have that.
Support the immune system, lubricate the mucosal membranes and reset the nerves
that control the cough fields, that's my first recommendation. Look also at some
prescriptive side effects that are unwanted or unintended side effects for
ACE inhibitors or other types of blood pressure medications.
Hey, thanks for watching our video on chronic coughs. There's a lot of things, a lot of
information that we provide that my great grandfather taught my grandfather,
my grandfather taught my dad, my dad taught me. I learned a lot of this stuff
in the trenches, not necessarily in school and my mission is to help people
achieve and maintain optimal health. So if you perceive value, like us, click on
the bell so you get the video updates and remember, we're across all platforms,
we're continually doing podcasts and articles and YouTube videos
