For excess mucus, breathing trouble

This information is of general interest. IN CASE YOU DON'T GET THE OXYGEN IN HOSPITALS OR YOU CAN'T BUY IT. “POSTURAL DRAINAGE”: “It’s a way to help treat respiratory problems due to inflammation and excess mucus in the airway of the lungs.” This old technique has faded over time, since we have ventilators and other machines. In case hospitals collapse and you find it difficult to breathe, keep this technique in mind. Don't wait for the last minute. If you experience difficulty breathing or a lot of mucus, inhale and exhale slowly in this position, from 15 to 20 minutes, 3 times a day or as long as you need. Don't do it with a full stomach, always away from foods. In a nursing home in Vietnam in 1976 they applied this technique, during the flu epidemic. No elderly person died, compared to other asylums where many died.

🩸 There’s 51× more plastic in stroke patients’ arteries — and it’s reshaping how we think about heart disease.

A new study has uncovered alarming levels of microplastics and nanoplastics lodged deep within the blood vessels of people who suffered strokes or vision loss. Researchers from the University of New Mexico, led by Dr. Ross Clark, found that diseased carotid arteries contained up to 51 times more plastic than those from individuals without symptoms.

The discovery, presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions, suggests that microplastics may be doing far more than polluting our oceans — they might be quietly infiltrating our bodies and fueling cardiovascular disease.

What’s especially concerning is that immune and stem cells within high-plastic plaque samples showed altered gene activity, including changes tied to inflammation and vascular instability. While the findings are preliminary and not yet peer-reviewed, they raise a powerful new question: are plastics not just environmental pollutants, but active participants in human disease?

The study adds to mounting evidence that microplastics—tiny fragments shed from packaging, clothing, and tires—can enter our bloodstream, cross biological barriers, and interfere with how our organs function. Scientists now say understanding their long-term effects on heart health is an urgent priority.

Ever heard about Leaky Gut? 🤔

Let’s dive a little deeper — because your gut health is the foundation of your overall wellness! 🌿

🔹 What is Leaky Gut?
Leaky gut, or increased intestinal permeability, occurs when the lining of your intestines becomes compromised. This allows toxins, bacteria, and partially digested food particles to “leak” through the gut barrier into your bloodstream.

🔹 Why does it happen?
Several factors can weaken the gut lining over time, including:
-High sugar intake
-Chronic stress
-Poor diet
-Alcohol consumption
-Long-term medication use (like NSAIDs or antibiotics)
-Gut infections.
These stressors disrupt the balance of the intestinal microbiome and damage the tight junctions that normally keep your gut barrier strong.

🔹 Why it matters
When your intestinal barrier is compromised, your immune system can become overstimulated, leading to widespread inflammation. This may manifest as:
-Digestive issues like bloating, diarrhea, or constipation
-Food sensitivities or intolerances
-Brain fog or fatigue
-Skin concerns such as acne, eczema, or rashes
-Joint pain or mood changes

🔹 The good news
Leaky gut is not a permanent condition! With the right testing, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle support, your intestinal lining can heal.

🧬 US BioTek’s GutIQ™ Profile helps practitioners and patients uncover key markers of intestinal health: including barrier function, microbiome balance, and immune activation. These insights empower you to take a targeted, science-backed approach to restoring gut health.

🍎 Food Sensitivity Testing measures IgG, IgA, and IgG4 reactions to up to 240 foods, uncovering hidden triggers that drive inflammation and immune stress.

🔬 Organic Acids Tests (36 & 62 markers) provide a metabolic snapshot, revealing nutrient deficiencies, detoxification imbalances, and microbial activity to guide truly personalized care.

💡 Your gut is more than a digestive organ, t’s a key player in immunity, mood regulation, and metabolic health.

🌱 Pay attention to your gut's signals. 💬 Got questions? Our team is here to support you every step of the way.

Happy Autumnal Equinox! We are at a turning point. It marks the shift into the dark part of the year when we experience an inward reflect for ourselves. A time of preparation for the hibernation that will come. Today is a day of balance in the hours of sunshine and darkness. This is the season of harvest.
