"It is easy to hate, and it is difficult to love. It is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve, and bad things are straightforward."
Confucius (551 BC – 479 BC) was a Chinese teacher, politician, and philosopher. By Simran Khurana (Updated March 18, 2017)
Corticosteroids, bronchodilators, receptor blockers, and various antibiotics cannot cure COPD but only slightly relieve the symptoms at the cost of continuous damage to the immune system, which only perpetuates the disease!
This article presents a different view based on self-healing natural medicine combined with personal empowerment and prolonged strengthening of the immune system for the natural treatment of COPD. All addictions allow the body to improve the energy flow in the specific blocked energetic center/s. (At the expense of damage to many organs and systems.)
There are many patients, including children, who have never smoked. The sight of my father (who has never smoked) struggling for every breath always accompanies me. For addicted smokers, I offer an entirely different methodology of the nature of Addiction and the energy reward mechanism as a condition for successful smoking cessation.
COPD (Asthma, Emphysema, Bronchitis) - Introduction.
Link: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) World Health Organization.
COPD is common among active and passive smokers and those exposed to contaminated air, yet not all smokers are ill. There are also COPD patients who have never smoked and have not been exposed to severe air pollution, and therefore, a more comprehensive and in-depth explanation is required.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) combines a group of respiratory inflammatory diseases. (Asthma, Emphysema, Chronic Bronchitis.)
- According to WHO, Around 80% of the world's 1.1 billion smokers live in low- and middle-income countries.
- Smoking results are devastating, with a low quality of life for smokers and high mortality rates, and yet, the percentage of smoking cessation is in the single digits.
- The distribution of smokers worldwide indicates that environmental factors, nutrition, and lifestyle significantly impact COPD.
- Men, on average, smoke more, but women tend to get sick more seriously! We will try to understand the reasons.
- Most smokers try to quit smoking and fail!
The well-known story of the uncle who smoked his entire life and lived to the age of 100 is not feasible in the modern era, with a lifestyle and diet that encourages inflammation in our bodies.
Many COPD patients are smokers, but not all.
The Self-healing Approach - Weaning from Smoking Addiction.
Link: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. (Wikipedia)
What is Addiction?
-
Addiction is a compulsive, repetitive action that, over time, causes harm to the addict or the environment (or both) that the addict is aware of, except that they do not control the Addiction. The reward mechanism of Addiction is far more potent than any means of logic and persuasion.
Is smoking addiction a quantitative definition?
- Smoking addicts usually smoke much more than non-addicts, but the definition is not quantitative. The purpose of Addiction is a loss of control and a strong urge to smoke at any given moment without rejecting immediate satisfaction.
What is the difference between smoking addiction and just a bad habit?
- The main difference is that addictions must have a distinctive reward mechanism, while bad habits have no real reward, so getting rid of bad habits is relatively straightforward. Still, it is tough to stop addictions.
Is smoking a familial genetic predisposition or a socioeconomic social phenomenon?
- Children of smokers and drinkers are more exposed, but the explanation is more profound than the question of accessibility. Other children also often have the option of obtaining alcoholic beverages and cigarettes. The potential mental trauma on average in the homes of heavy smokers and drinkers is higher, especially in lower socioeconomic levels. The personality structure impacts addictions; the personality has a significant hereditary dimension, and at the same time, smoking is not a pronounced genetic trait!
The "Chinese method" of sharply reducing smoking. (Willpower and perseverance are still needed.)
- China is a country with one of the highest smoking rates globally. During my extended stay in China, I learned the method that seems practical (for those who want to quit): a sharp reduction in smoking.
- For those who cannot quit smoking entirely or are in the weaning process, an alternative significantly reduces the scope of smoking. (Still requires self-discipline)
- The method is based on the obligation to drink freshly squeezed natural juice throughout the day as a smoking condition! The juice can be grapefruit juice or any other naturally squeezed juice. (It is very sweet and not orange juice.)
- Smoking is limited to 2-3 cigarettes in the morning, after meals, and before bed. A total of 10-15 cigarettes a day. No more!
In most cases, this is a sharp decline in smoking. Drinking natural juices significantly reduces cumulative damage. The method may not be ideal, but it is better than nothing!
Why smoking cessation often leads to gaining weight?
- The explanation does not stem only from the fact that nicotine suppresses appetite. The cause for weight gain during smoking cessation is the energetic dimension. Smoking and eating are associated at the energetic level with the fifth energy center (the throat chakra), responsible for communication. When the person quits smoking, he compensates energetically through eating.
Are e-cigarettes a less harmful alternative than tobacco?
- E-cigarettes have been around for less than ten years and are very popular, especially with young people.
- E-cigarettes are based on a tiny (battery-powered) heating element that heats a liquid that becomes aerosol and inhaled into the airways. Different manufacturers have different fillers.
- It would seem that e-cigarettes are less harmful because they have no tar, and nicotine levels are significantly lower than tobacco. There is no unanimity on the matter, but formaldehyde in some e-cigarettes is recognized as a carcinogen!
It is recommended to clean the lungs regularly for smokers and those in the stages of quitting smoking.
- The best way is to walk (no need to run) in clean, traffic-free air. (preferably in large parks) Walking immediately after rain or a lightning storm is especially recommended. It is essential to practice (possibly as part of yoga classes) deep breaths and exhalations. Increasing the lung volume that has suffered a heavy load is necessary.
The self-healing approach to smoking addiction.
This article deals with smoking as an addiction phenomenon that usually begins in adolescence and continues through adulthood. We will also explain the underlying causes of smoking and how to address them using self-healing rehab methodologies.
- All addictions, including smoking, allow the body to improve the energy flow in the specific blocked energetic center/s. (At the expense of extensive damage to many organs and systems.)
Why don't smoke addicts respond to persuasion?
- Heavy smokers are not unreasonable people, nor are they self-destructive. In a state of Addiction, the subconscious paralyzes reason in the smoking context; thus, persuasion is not a helpful tool for healing smoking addiction.
The reward mechanism of addictions is primarily an energetic tool for conserving the critical life-force energy needed for survival.
- Therefore, rehab from smoking addiction should eliminate the primary factor that created the need for Addiction. (That is, to open the respective life-force energy blockages.)
- Any addiction not only manifests itself in certain chemicals (such as nicotine) but also, mainly, as a psycho-energetic phenomenon. Releasing traumatic, non-resolved issues from the past that caused Addiction is far more complicated than detoxification from addictive substances.
How does the fear mechanism, in cases where the addict identifies a life-threatening situation, work to stop or weaken the smoking addiction?
- Fear is not an emotion but an instinct inherent in every living being. Addicted smokers and alcoholics, in cases of tangible danger to life, often tend to stop drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking. The explanation is that fear is a powerful survival mechanism that bypasses (as long as fear exists) the effect of Addiction.
- In drug addicts (hard drugs and hallucinogens), the fear mechanism is paralyzed, so even drug addicts who realize they are in mortal danger usually cannot stop taking drugs alone!
Why do many smoking withdrawal programs fail in the long run?
- The main difficulty in most rehab programs stems from the need to release from the subconscious mind the specific traumatic non-resolved event that caused the energy blockage, which created the need for Addiction. Cleansing the body of the addictive toxins is relatively easy compared to the energy part. Still, it does not get any attention, mainly because Western culture does not acknowledge the existence of life-force energy.
- Drug treatment cannot "cure" any addiction, including smoking Addiction.
- Smoking rehab programs often do not address the human body's psychological-energetic side, so success rates are usually relatively low.
The first task in the smoking rehab program is releasing the subconscious mind's initial and painful traumatic memories.
- Achieving successful rehab from smoking addiction requires reconstruction of the past traumatic events that caused the energy blockage and created the need for smoking. Traumatic memories are usually stored subconsciously (as part of the mental defense mechanisms). They are often challenging to retrieve (sometimes they involve memories of parents or family members who are no longer alive.) The rehab process requires releasing the trauma from the subconscious to the conscious, where one can be forgiven and let go of the painful memories. Trauma release does not require forgetting.
- Most people are unable to reconstruct traumatic events on their own. I needed dozens of sessions in a type of treatment not available worldwide, similar to hypnosis. It is hard to believe in retrospect that these events at the time caused the severe liver disease I experienced.
Explaining why so many smokers fail to quit! (Smoking addiction.)
Smoking is not just a chemical addiction to nicotine but also profound.
The (unconventional) perception of the human body as a dual, physical, and energetic entity is essential to understanding Addiction.
- These principles come from traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda) and traditional Chinese medicine.
- The Indian concept of qi's life energy in Chinese culture shows that the mouth, bronchial, and lungs are associated with the fifth and fourth centers. The emotions involved in these centers are mainly related to communication, love, and healing.
- Smokers often start smoking at very young ages. Reconstructing the events that led to smoking will teach that environmental and social pressure reflects increased communication and attention mistakenly interpreted as love!
- The leading cause of smoking in the first place is the energy blockage of the 5th and 4th Energy Centers. These blockages result from non-resolved traumatic events that pass through the mental self-defense mechanism into the subconscious.
Any addiction not only manifests itself in certain chemicals (such as nicotine) but also, mainly, as a psycho-energetic phenomenon. Releasing traumatic, non-resolved issues from the past that caused Addiction is far more complicated than detoxification from addictive substances.
What does it take to quit smoking?
- All addictions, including smoking, allow the body to improve the energy flow in the specific blocked energetic center/s. (At the expense of extensive damage to many organs and systems.) Therefore, rehab from Addiction should eliminate the primary factor that created the need for Addiction. (That is, to open the life-force energy blockages.)
- Chemical rehab from nicotine is a relatively easy part. The incredibly challenging part is the release of the life-force energy blocks.
- Addiction to alcoholic beverages has very similar initial characteristics; rehab's energetic treatment should have similar properties.
The seven human Chakras (Energy Centers) and organs represent respective influential emotions. (The emotional settings I brought are slightly broader.)
General and Introduction - The concept of energy centers. (Chakras)
Only Traumatic, Non-resolved mental and spiritual events from our past may block the life-force energy. (Traumatic resolved mental & spiritual events do not block the energy centers.)
- These principles come from traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda) and Chinese medicine, balancing the body. Western medicine completely ignores the human body's energetic being and misses an opportunity to understand chronic disease formation deeply.
- Diseases break out where life-force energy does not flow smoothly.
- When discussing stress and anxiety as significant causes of chronic morbidity, we must deepen and label the traumatic emotions to release them consciously.
Short analysis concerning Smoking and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. (COPD)
Smokers.
- This diagram shows that the initial relevant respiratory system organs are in centers 4-5. The possible corresponding traumatic emotions are Love, Relationships & self-acceptance, and Communication & self-expression.
- Over time, the centers that control infections are also involved among heavy smokers. (Centers 2-3.) These matching traumatic feelings are probably related to Sexuality and Pleasure, creativity, wisdom, Personal Power, and channel ability.
- Note: Only the patient themself can interpret past traumatic events.
Non-Smokers. (Symptomatic.)
- Those who do not smoke and are not exposed to polluted air probably have Life-force energy obstructions in centers 2, 3, and 4.
- The possible corresponding traumatic emotions are Sexuality and Pleasure, Creativity, Wisdom, Personal Power, and the ability to channel—love, Relationships & self-acceptance.
- The main difference between smokers and non-smokers lies in the fifth center associated with communication.
Smoking cessation strategies integrate the Body, Mind, and Spirit.
The events that caused smoking are usually buried deep in the subconscious, which stores unwanted memories, sometimes from the distant past. The subconscious mind is part of the mental defense mechanism. Extracting events into the conscious realm allows them to be released. (There is no need to forget.)
Critical - Mental and Energetic. (If necessary, the two techniques can be combined.)
Releasing traumatic non-resolved events from the past - Through Self-psychoanalysis.
- It requires self-hypnosis, yoga, and meditation at very high levels.
- Support groups sometimes have a meditative effect. (Depends on the facilitator and group participants.)
Releasing traumatic non-resolved events from the past - Through experts.
- Hypnosis (usually can pinpoint the source of the initial Addiction and treat the problem to lower the chances of returning to smoking.
- Acupuncture manages to cope differently, without poking around, but opening the blocked meridians that affect the life-force energy causing the smoking addiction.
Desirable - Social and communicative. (It is advisable to combine social and mental-energetic activities.)
- Social activity of any kind is vital. Detachment and remoteness may create isolation and depression.
- It is especially recommended that students join theater, acting, drama, poetry, and literature. Of course, this is a communication activity.
- Loners - Finding a meaningful relationship with a love and sex partner can significantly change! (Communication, sex, and pleasure at the same time.)
- A deep emotional relationship charges life-force energy and helps recovery.
Physical and pharmaceutical.
- Using nicotine patches or e-cigarettes as a substitute is not a long-term solution.
The active substance MDMA in Ecstasy drug. (Not approved for use.)
- MDMA may help with additional supportive care in releasing traumatic events. Studies have shown an effect on three brain neurotransmitters. Reactions to the MDMA drug were increased pleasure, reduced sense of fear, love, and acceptance of the environment, decreased criticism, and increased emotional openness.
- MDMA treatment may be beneficial (if approved) not as a stand-alone treatment but as part of a supportive process for acute smoking addiction.
- I have to point out that I am usually against using drugs; this is an unusual case where a drug may treat the cause rather than the symptom. (MDMA is currently not approved for use.)
Which is the best strategy?
In addition to the physical rehab, combining the mental-energetic and social parts is most desirable.
- It is important to emphasize that treating smoking addiction by chemical and pharmaceutical means without psycho-energetic and complementary social action has a low chance of success.
- I recommend contacting a qualified hypnosis specialist for those with previous smoking withdrawal failures. It is essential to know that rehab is a process that combines body, mind, and spirit.
Non-smokers' COPD's underlying causes. (Body, Mind, and Spirit.)
Smoking is only the catalyst and trigger that contributes to further deterioration.
- My father died of complications of severe pulmonary edema, though he had never smoked. Smoking alone doesn't explain everything!
Pathogens are a cause of chronic disease outbreaks.
- In chronic diseases, pathogens are not a cause but only catalysts for further deterioration. The fundamental cause is always a weak immune system.
Lifestyle vs. Genetics.
- Smoking is essential in COPD formation, but more risk factors are usually added.
- An unhealthy lifestyle (Mental and physical) is the leading cause of COPD. (80% or more). Genetics explains only a small part of the failures. (20% or less.)
Age factor (Unhealthy physical Lifestyle) vs. Traumatic non-resolved events from the past.
- The age factor - As symptoms onset at a younger age (30 years or less), it is more likely that the weight of unresolved mental traumas is higher than the unhealthy lifestyle. The explanation is that the process of cell aging and death is cumulative, while unresolved traumatic events have an immediate and cumulative effect.
Physical Body.
- An unhealthy lifestyle reflected in Improper nutrition, high body toxicity, drinking alcoholic beverages, smoking, low physical activities, and exposure to the sun, lack of sleep manifests itself in:
- Weak flow of body fluids. (Blood, lymph, bile.)
- Gut flora imbalance and parasite overgrowth extensively load the immune system.
Mind and Spirit.
Happiness, Love, Satisfaction, and other positive emotions charge life-force energy.
Anxiety, stress, disappointment, hate, fear, guilt, envy, and negative emotions deplete the life-force energy.
- Traumatic, Unresolved mental and spiritual events from our past (usually subconscious) can cause low life-force energy flow. (Blockages in the flow of life-force energy have far-reaching physical and mental effects.)
The combined effect of body, mind, and spirit.
- A long list of symptoms. (Physical & Mental.)
Prognosis.
- Recovery occurs only when all the disease causes (mental & physical) are resolved and eliminated.
- Symptomatic treatments usually cannot cure the patient, as they do not eliminate the disease's causes.
What is the additional factor that needs consideration regarding COPD?
- The modern lifestyle with processed foods, alcoholic beverages, and synthetic sugar beverages is primarily inflammatory.
- If we add smoking, stress, little sleep, and irregular physical activity, COPD is almost inevitable.
- Smoking is essentially inflammation. The body attempts to remove toxins through phlegm, cough, and edema. Combining an inflammatory body with a respiratory system contaminated with toxins creates a situation in which the body directs the infections to the respiratory system's weakest energetic place. (Oral, bronchial, lung, and skin.)
How do we explain COPD among non-smokers?
- Non-smokers, of course, do not have the smoking factor as a catalyst. In these cases, there is a mix of diet and lifestyle with energetic blockages resulting from unresolved mental crises in the energy centers relevant to the respiratory and immune systems.
Why doesn't drug treatment cure COPD?
The answer is that all COPD treatments are designed to treat symptoms rather than causes.
- Steroids, bronchodilators, receptor blockers, antibiotics, etc., are inherently unable to cure; their ability to relieve the patient's suffering is limited.
- The problem is that COPD is a progressive disease. The drugs themselves have severe side effects; they harm the immune system over extended periods.
Every COPD patient can avoid this image of an oxygen balloon or a respirator.
The first stage of recovery from COPD - How do you start?
Review the principles of self-healing - with an emphasis on former smokers and non-smokers. (After the patient has faced a complete or near-complete cessation of smoking. )
Self-healing is a challenging process that often involves changes in diet and lifestyle. The first stages of adaptation are the most difficult. Don't expect your attending physicians (they believe and know only the conventional methods), so support from your spouse, family, and friends is critical.
- It would help if you adopted the available treatments and lifestyle changes that best suit your condition. However, a balanced diet and liver and kidney cleansing are usually needed.
- The benefits of adopting a self-healing lifestyle are immense; discipline and strong willpower are mainly required in the early stages.
- If you followed self-healing principles for at least three months without significantly improving symptoms, the more systemic inflammation you have, the more time and more intense treatments you will need.
- A urine pH of 6.0 or below usually indicates that the intestines are too acidic. It can suggest that gut flora is imbalanced!
If you seek doctors' advice about self-healing from COPD, you will most likely encounter reactions ranging from cancellation to contempt.
A partial list of recommended activities will improve the shortness of breath of COPD patients in the long run.
(In the meantime, it is advisable to use low-dose drugs only in cases with a clear and immediate need.)
Mental.
- Attending verbal communication workshops or activities. (Improves energy flow in the 5th energy center, the Throat Chakra.)
- Practice Yoga, Meditation, and Tai Chi as part of the process of mental empowerment. (These practices improve energy flow in the sixth energy center, the Third Eye Chakra.)
Physical.
Food and Beverages.
- Start your morning by drinking one cup of squeezed lemon juice with lukewarm water. (It is even better if you add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar + one tablespoon of olive oil.)
- High-quality, varied, fresh, and natural food (without industrial or processed products.)
- Eating berries with goat yogurt is highly recommended. (Probiotic Bacteria with Strong Antioxidants.)
- Consuming dietary fiber (in plant-based diets) and fermented products such as goat yogurt.
- Natural oils/fats are essential for gut tissue lubrication and proper absorption.
- Regular eating of bone marrow (possibly in soup) is especially recommended.
Supplements.
In general, it is advisable to avoid taking supplements. The best way to do this is through proper and balanced nutrition.
- You probably need omega-three supplements if you do not eat deep-water oily fish. (DHA/EPA)
- Vitamin b12 is a great anti-inflammatory. (A simple blood test will reveal if you are deficient.)
- Serrapeptase is an enzyme that is capable of the decomposition of lung scar tissue.
- Enzyme serrapeptase is the enzyme that breaks down the silkworm's cocoon - it breaks down dead cells without affecting living cells. Simultaneously, caution and testing are required as there are no side effects from taking this supplement. (Opinions about it are not uniform.)
- Drinking a teaspoon of bentonite clay in a glass of lukewarm water will help toxin absorption and reduce emitted mucus.
Liver and kidney cleansing.
COPD patients with severe symptoms may need liver and kidney cleansing. The results of the cleaning can be felt relatively quickly.
- Cleansing the liver and kidneys has a far-reaching impact on all bodily inflammatory processes, including the respiratory system.
- Freshly squeezed juices.
- Coffee enemas.
- Liver and Gallbladder flushes.
- Kidneys were cleansing. (Such as drinking parsley tea, steaming sauna, and going to the jacuzzi)
Other available therapies.
- Controlled exposure to the sun has a significant impact on breathing quality.
- Massage of the back and lungs may help remove the mucus to relieve respiration.
- Swimming is a highly recommended aerobic exercise to strengthen the lungs and heart.
Environmental.
- It is advisable to avoid contact with allergens such as mold or dust mites, pollen, etc.
- Avoid wall-to-wall carpets. Those who have carpets should thoroughly clean them with steam without chemicals.
- In many places where air quality is not good (especially in cities), it is advisable to introduce air purifiers without various chemicals.
- Environmentally friendly detergents should be used. Many detergents (such as window cleaners) are harmful and worsen breathing problems.
- Homes with mildew and mold must be treated urgently to remove moisture and mold-caused infection, endangering COPD patients with a compromised immune system.
14 Things That Happen to Your Body When You Quit Smoking (Don't Avoid)
Detailed overview of each one of the self-healing principles to achieve full recovery from COPD.
Link: Preparations before starting self-healing therapies.
- Dealing with smoking cessation or drastic reduction. (Only for smokers, of course)
- Self-healing general principles & guidelines.
- It is adapted to a self-healing lifestyle for smokers.
- Mental-energetic aspects of improving the vital energy function essential to recovery.
- Recommended Diet and Natural physical therapies.
Dealing with smoking cessation or drastic reduction. (Only for smokers, of course.)
- I recommend using one of the two smoking withdrawal strategies listed in paragraph 2 to detect and counteract the need for smoking through subconscious mind penetration.
- I recommend thinking about a strategy (I learned in China) of smoking 2-5 cigarettes a day for those who have never quit smoking altogether. (Usually at regular times) and only on days when drinking natural squeezed juice. (Not ideal, but far superior to the routine of heavy smoking.)
Self-healing general principles and guidelines.
Harnessing the extraordinary capabilities of Self-Healing.
Self-healing is like "Performing miracles." Every human being has this capability—it just needs to be revealed.
- Our body, mind & spirit are reflections of each other.
- The influence of our mind & spirit on our physical body is immense.
- I prefer to call it Complementary Alternative Medicine. (CAM) "Self-healing medicine."
The Holistic approach to self-healing.
- The location of symptoms does not necessarily reveal the main problem.
- A single organ or system cannot be cured independently of the rest of the body. The entire body's immune system must recover as well.
The self-healing allegedly paradox - A few symptoms during recovery may be more severe, but other symptoms disappear!
- Be aware that self-healing has ups and downs; it does not indicate it does not work. The last stage might be the hardest because the immune system becomes more responsive. (Light fever and fatigue during self-healing are usually signs of recovery.)
Self-healing lifestyle for smokers.
- Controlled exposure to the sun regularly. (Immense importance.)
- Go out frequently to the free air; walking after the rain is especially recommended.
- A home and office air freshener may help, especially with allergens.
- Try to minimize your medication intake. (It all harms the immune system.)
- Minimize exposure to toxins from all possible sources. (Such as toxins in food and beverages, detergents, drugs, chemicals, and radiation).
- Avoid or minimize all alcoholic beverages.
- The frequency of sexual activity depends on age. Meaningless sex depletes energy. Sexual activity, combined with love, increases energy. (Happiness.)
- Although you may feel healthy and not tired, seven hours of sleep at night is essential. Working night shifts continuously confuses the biological clock, harming the Qi life force in the long run.
- Physical activity is necessary for maintaining a good mood and proper physiological functioning.
- Swimming is one of the best sports for COPD patients. (It is rather harsh in the beginning but highly beneficial.)
- Try to avoid very crowded places for extended periods. They consume energy.
Eating habits.
- On an empty stomach each morning, squeeze one lemon and drink it with lukewarm water. (You can add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.)
- Avoid eating away from home, preferably take-home food, and do not buy outside.
- Chew well, take a break, eat comfortably, and do not eat late at night.
- Intermittent fasting (not with zero calories) has many benefits.
Mental-energetic aspects of improving the vital energy function essential to recovery.
Links: Mental and spiritual enhancement.
Although these principles sound clear and logical, they are sometimes difficult to apply. Empowerment workshops or other professionals are recommended.
1 Happiness has a high impact on Qi life-force-energy.
- Unfortunately, there is no sure recipe for joy, but you can take small steps, such as:
- More free time is essential to gaining high levels of Qi.
- If necessary, you should reduce your working hours—you will be surprised that your productivity does not significantly decrease.
2 Find a suitable activity to free your mind and spirit, such as:
- Tai Qi, Yoga, Meditation, Guided Imagery, Swimming!
- Any exercise that helps release mental stress. (Preference is individual.)
3. Make peace with yourself, your environment, and your family.
- It would be best if you did all you could to resolve all meaningful disputes. Hate, envy, anxiety, and shouting consume Qi's life-force energy.
4. Do not be disappointed with what you have achieved.
- Be happy with what you have. Unfulfilled ambition is frustrating and depletes energy in the long run. Curb your ambition for a while. It will help you to regain lost strength.
5. Love and giving elevate life-force energy. (Qi)
- By volunteering & assisting others, you gain satisfaction; it increases the life-force energy. (Qi)
- Donations of money alone are not considered giving.
6. Having a profound, deep belief. (With or without praying and worshiping the god.)
- Deep belief is like meditation and promotes Qi energy. There are claims that the placebo effect results from this mechanism.
7 Having a good couple's relationship is essential to maintaining high Qi.
- Love and understanding are crucial in recovery while fighting and shouting deplete your Qi. Try to resolve marital issues. If you are having problems, seek professional advice.
8 The use of hypnosis. (Recommended)
- The use of hypnosis may be perceived by many as unrelated to their illness, but releasing mental distress has far-reaching effects on the body.
Recommended diet and natural physical therapies.

Detailed explanations of this chapter can be found in the links below each headline.
- Eating and drinking a large, balanced variety of unprocessed food & beverages helps initiate the body's natural regeneration process.
- Mechanical Detoxification. (By unblocking and cleansing the liver & kidneys.)
- Exercise and massage to improve blood and lymphatic circulation.
- Controlled Solar-baths. (Essential for proper physiology and charges the life-force energy.)
- Acupuncture can restore the life-force energy flow and relieve pain.
- It mainly uses herbal food supplements and antioxidants (as little as possible) to restore the body's balance and deficiencies.
Summary, conclusions, and recommendations.
All addictions, including smoking, allow the body to improve the specific energetic center's blocked energy flow. Therefore, rehab from Addiction should eliminate the primary factor that created the need for Addiction. (That is, to open the life-force energy blockages.)
- Smoking is not just a chemical addiction to nicotine but also profound.
- Chemical rehab from nicotine is a relatively easy part. The incredibly challenging part is the release of the life-force energy blocks.
The reward mechanism of addictions is not only chemical but primarily an energetic tool for conserving the critical life-force energy needed for survival.
- Therefore, rehab from smoking addiction should eliminate the primary factor that created the need for Addiction. (That is, to open the respective life-force energy blockages.)
- Any addiction not only manifests itself in certain chemicals (such as nicotine) but also, mainly, as a psycho-energetic phenomenon. Releasing traumatic, non-resolved issues from the past that caused the Addiction is far more challenging than detoxification from the addictive substances.
COPD is not an incurable disease!
- Reducing inflammatory processes in the body using self-healing methods without medication can help COPD patients ( including active smokers) reduce many annoying symptoms.
COPD underlying causes. (Lifestyle vs. Genetics.)
- My father died of complications of severe pulmonary edema, though he had never smoked. Smoking alone doesn't explain everything!
- Smoking is essential in COPD formation, but more risk factors are usually added.
- An unhealthy lifestyle (Mental and physical) is the leading cause of COPD. (80% or more). Genetics explains only a small part of the failures. (20% or less.)
- Recovery occurs only when all the disease causes (mental and physical) are resolved and eliminated.
- Symptomatic treatments usually cannot cure the patient, as they do not eliminate the disease's causes.
Prolonged use of medications and Supplements.
- Steroids cannot cure the disease; they only moderate the symptoms, so the aim is to minimize their use as much as possible.
- Prolonged use of most drugs, especially non-herbal drugs, has side effects (sometimes intolerable) and cumulative damage to the body that comes out of balance.
- Dietary supplements are often excessive and sometimes even harmful. To minimize supplement use for non-vegans, a balanced and appropriate diet with naturally fermented products (or live probiotics) and controlled exposure to the sun are recommended.
Economic aspects.
- The economic burden of doctors, drugs, and treatments is sometimes very high. (In my case, the expenditure was exceptionally high.)
- Despite the significant spending on food and juices, the savings on medicines and doctors, not to mention the suffering and reduced quality of life, investing in self-healing is exceptionally economical in the long run.
Self-healing is like "Performing miracles." Every human being has this capability. It just needs to be revealed.
- Following the principles & guidelines of self-healing medicine will cure the entire body mentally and physically.
- The main drawback of self-healing is the need for changes in lifestyle & habits. The transformation is enormous in every aspect.
- After symptoms improve, continuing the properly controlled lifestyle and diet is essential.

I wish all COPD patients complete recovery and regular breathing without difficulty.
COPD patients are advised to avoid various allergens, especially airborne ones, which burden the immune system. It is recommended that COPD patients purify the air in their environment (if it is not clean enough) to walk in nature among trees, especially after rain and a lightning storm. Aerobic activities such as swimming and walking are essential for proper respiratory function.
