Asthma
Condition- Mucus-forming diet and lymphatic blockage: A diet high in dairy, eggs, animal fat, and grains creates excess mucus throughout the body — in the liver, lymphatic system, intestinal tract, and bronchial tubes. When mucus is clogged in these other areas of the body, mucus in the lungs cannot move into the lymphatic system and out of the body. This traps contaminants in the bronchial tubes indefinitely and perpetuates asthma regardless of inhaler use.
- Contaminant irritation: Airborne contaminants — sawdust, metal particles, metal vapors, fiberglass, drywall dust, chemicals, pesticides, herbicides — become trapped in the mucus lining of bronchial tubes. As breathing occurs, these particles act like sandpaper, progressively irritating and inflaming the bronchial linings. A mucus-forming diet keeps these contaminants locked in place indefinitely, preventing them from clearing into the lymphatic system.
- Contaminant irritation — sandpaper mechanism: Airborne contaminants — sawdust, metal particles, metal vapors, fiberglass, drywall dust, chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, fragrances, and substances falling from the sky — become trapped in the mucus lining of bronchial tubes. As breathing occurs and lungs expand, these particles act like sandpaper, progressively irritating and inflaming the bronchial linings. A mucus-forming diet keeps these contaminants locked in place indefinitely, preventing them from clearing into the lymphatic system.
- Environmental triggers — fragrances and chemicals: Colognes, perfumes, air fresheners (especially plug-in types), scented candles, potpourri, and household chemical sprays are major triggers for both contaminant asthma and neurological asthma. Neurological asthma can be triggered merely by walking through a department store and inhaling chemical scents. These should be removed from the household entirely when anyone has asthma.
- Environmental triggers — fragrances and chemicals: Colognes, perfumes, air fresheners (especially plug-in types), scented candles, potpourri, hairspray, dryer sheets, conventional laundry detergents, chemical carpet cleaning products, and household chemical sprays are major triggers for both contaminant asthma and neurological asthma. Neurological asthma can be triggered merely by walking through a department store and inhaling chemical scents. All of these must be removed from the household entirely when anyone has asthma.
- Industrial pollution and chemtrails: Environmental chemical pollution, industrial burning, and atmospheric contaminants are part of why asthma is on the rise. Regular exposure to these airborne toxins progressively burdens the bronchial mucus lining.
- Toxic heavy metals — neurological asthma: High levels of toxic heavy metals, especially mercury, in a child's or adult's system can trigger neurological asthma. Mercury and other heavy metals in the brain trigger the vagus nerve and phrenic nerves to produce asthma-like symptoms. MM recommends the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie to address this variety. Heavy metal exposure occurs from multiple sources from birth through childhood and into adulthood.
- Occupational and environmental inhalation: Industries involving metal sharpening, chainsaw blade work, construction, drywall and sheetrock dust, fiberglass insulation, and sawdust are major causes of occupational asthma. Living in a home undergoing renovation with wall demolition and sheet rock dust produces the worst cases of asthma. Even regular exposure to mall fragrances, chemical cleaning products, potpourri, and conventional carpet cleaning chemicals constitutes significant lung contamination over time.
- Emotional trauma — neurological asthma: Significant emotional shock, trauma, or adverse experiences heat up and burn out neurotransmitters in the brain, triggering neurological asthma through nervous system dysregulation. This causes the vagus and phrenic nerves to produce asthma-like symptoms — tightening of the chest and inability to take a deep breath — that may be misdiagnosed as a panic attack.
- Viral neurotoxins — neurological asthma: Viruses — particularly early Epstein-Barr virus (mono) or other low-grade viral infections — release neurotoxins from the liver. These neurotoxins contact and inflame the vagus nerve and phrenic nerves, which run through the chest and control lung function. This produces asthma-like tightness of chest and breathing difficulty that is neurological in origin, not a structural bronchial problem. Common in college-age individuals developing early mono. Inhalers (steroids) sometimes help even neurological asthma because they reduce nerve inflammation.
- Viral neurotoxins — neurological asthma: Viruses — particularly early Epstein-Barr virus (mono) or other low-grade viral infections — release neurotoxins from the liver. These neurotoxins contact and inflame the vagus nerve and phrenic nerves, which run through the neck and chest and control lung function. This produces asthma-like tightness of chest and breathing difficulty that is neurological in origin, not a structural bronchial problem. Common in college-age individuals developing early mono under first-time pressure and stress. Streptococcus co-infection with EBV amplifies this pattern. Inhalers (steroids) sometimes help even neurological asthma because they reduce nerve inflammation.
