CHRONIC LOWER RESPIRATORY DISEASE: THE PROBLEM

This week, we begin a four-part series on the 5th-largest killer in America.  In this episode, you'll discover:—How COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is responsible for the overwhelming majority of Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease (or CLRD) deaths.  And how Emphysema and Asthma are also included in this category. —Why Dr. Prather says it is "a major issue" to get patients (and sometimes their doctors) to take their shortness of breath seriously. —The devastating impact of cigarette smoking on CLRD.  And how Dr. Prather has seen young people whose Lungs have shut down even after just three months of vaping.—Why Dr. Prather says that marijuana can actually even be worse than cigarettes on the Lungs.—How Asthma can be a precursor of COPD and damages the Lungs over time.  Plus, the role of obesity in contributing to Lung problems and CLRD. —The influence of nutrition on Lung Disease and why Dr. Prather believes Fiber is the key. —The Alpha-1 antitrypsin generic factor that can be a root cause of Lung disease.  And how infections like Histoplasmosis can increase your risk of developing COPD.—The Spirometry Lung Function Test at Holistic Integration that reveals the health of your Lungs. —How you CAN improve the health of your Lungs and even regenerate your Lungs through Structure-Function Care. —Why Dr. Prather says how deep you breathe is the number one indicator of how long you will live. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast
