Is Your Body Crying for Help Through Your Lungs?

Have you ever stopped to think about what’s really happening every time you take a breath? We inhale air filled with all sorts of things—dust, particles, bacteria, and viruses. From that air, our body performs a miracle. In my view, we’ve been looking at this miracle, and what happens when it falters, in the wrong way for far too long, especially when it comes to chronic lung issues.

The Lungs: A Grand Central Station for Life

I like to think of the lungs as a bustling train station. The air we breathe in is like a crowd of passengers arriving at the station. Once there, the lungs expertly sort through the crowd, picking out the essential elements like oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. These "good" passengers then board the train called blood.

This blood train travels throughout the entire body, making stops at every single cell. When a good element like oxygen gets off at a cell's stop, the cell uses it for energy and life. In return, it produces waste, like carbon dioxide. This waste product then gets back on the blood train and travels all the way back to the lung station, where it gets off and is escorted out of the body through our nose and mouth.

It’s a beautiful, perfect system. The lung is like a mother, tirelessly feeding every cell in the body with the food called air, and just as importantly, taking out the trash.

But Who's Really in Control?

Here’s a fascinating thought: the lungs never really work on their own accord. When we meditate, they work less. When we run, they work much harder. But why? Because the lung’s activity is controlled by the collective demand of all the cells in the body. The lungs only work as hard as the cells ask them to. They are responders, not dictators.

This is the key to understanding what I believe is the true root cause of lung issues. When diseases like asthma, breathlessness, wheezing, chest congestion, or a chronic cough appear, my entire perspective is that we shouldn't be giving treatment to the lungs.

The lungs are simply showing the strain of a problem happening elsewhere. The symptoms we feel in our chest are cries for help from another part of the body.

When a Sick Organ Overworks the Lungs

Let me give you an example to make this crystal clear. Imagine a person’s kidney is struggling or has been affected by a disease. The cells in that kidney are now in a state of emergency. To heal themselves, they need more resources, and one of the most vital resources is air—oxygen. So, these kidney cells start demanding more and more air from the lungs.

The mother lung, doing its job, keeps sending the extra supply. But over time, by constantly fulfilling this high demand from the sick kidney, the lung itself can become exhausted and start showing symptoms.

So, let me ask you: for the resulting asthma or wheezing, should the treatment be given to the lung, or to the kidney? The problem, as I see it, is obviously with the cells in the kidney, not the lungs. The lungs are just the overworked supplier.

Now, please don’t misunderstand me and conclude that asthma only comes from kidney problems. The kidney is just one example. The real issue is when millions of cells in any part of the body—be it the liver, the stomach, or muscle tissue—get sick, they all start screaming for more air to heal themselves. This collective, constant demand is what overwhelms our lungs and creates the diseases we mistakenly attribute to them.

A Question for Anyone on Lung Medication

For anyone who has been consuming medicine for diseases like asthma or wheezing, I have one simple, honest question for you: Does the dosage of your medicine keep on increasing, or does it progressively reduce?

Think about it. When the dosage of a medicine has to be increased over time, it means only one thing: you have successfully increased the severity of the disease. It shows, in my opinion, that you are following a treatment path that only manages symptoms, never addressing the source.

Doctors who don't grasp this simple fact will scan the lungs, perform operations, and prescribe tablets and inhalers, all while the root problem somewhere else in the body gets worse, demanding even more from the lungs.

Therefore, my advice is to look beyond the chest. By solving the air-related deficiencies and healing the cells in all parts of our body, from head to toe, we can finally and truly cure all the diseases related to the lungs.
