Stem Cells and 10 Illnesses #7

Next in my list of disease is lung disease. Texas researchers have successfully developed stem cells into lung cells in the lab. They have shown strong evidence that these cells can actually repair lung tissue damage in mice.

Some of the conditions that this could help would be lung damage from a variety of diseases as well as from trauma to the lungs from car accidents, gun shots or sports injuries.

Lung Cleansing

We might not think about cleansing the lungs, but they too need to get rid of as much toxic waste that builds up there as well. You probably know what the next thing is that I'm going to say. If you are a smoker, you deserve to stop and help your lungs to cleanse. If you live or work with a smoker who smokes around you, you deserve to get away. Second hand smoke is as bad as smoking. The free radical damage from just one cigarette is astronomical.

Whether you are a smoker or not, there are ways to help cleanse the lungs. If you live in the city, this is more difficult, because cities are rife with air polution and other toxic chemicals. Finding the cleanest air that you can in your environment and taking several deeps breaths will help you remove polutants from the lungs. This will not take a great deal of time, but you need to take a few minutes and really concentrate on breathing deep and exhaling just as deeply. If you can get into an environment where there is less or no polution that is even better.
