Bronchiectasis
What is it?
It's a lung disease, pronounced brong-kee-ECK-tah-sis. Infants and older children
get it more often than adults, but adults get it too. Unless there are complications,
it is not serious. But is can be a lifestyle problem.
Bronchiectasis is a relatively rare condition that affects the Lungs. In this
disorder the bronchial tubes become enlarged and distended forming pockets
where infection may gather. The walls themselves are damaged which results
in impairment to the lung's complex cleaning system. The tiny hairs, lled
cilia - which line the bronchial tubes and sweep them free of dust, germs
and excess mucus - are destroyed. When this cleaning system is not working
effectively dust, mucus and bacteria accumulate. Infection develops and is
difficult to remove.
What causes it?
It is caused by various types of infections that damage and weaken the bronchial
walls and interfere with the action of the cilia. Patients may be predisposed
to get this condition with various congenital or inherited deficiencies such
as immunological deficiency or cystic fibrosis. Rarely patients inherit a
primary abnormality of the hair cells or cilia that renders them more prone
to develop Bronchiectasis.
Pneumonias
that may be associated with childhood measles and whooping cough may predispose
to this condition by weakening the walls of the bronchial tubes and causing
pockets of infection to form.
An obstruction
of some sort - anything that presses on the bronchial tubes from the outside
or blocks them from the inside - may also cause Bronchiectasis. In childhood
this most commonly results from choking on food such as a peanut that is small
enough to go down the windpipe and large enough to block off one of the air
tubes. When this happens the wall of the tube is injured and air is prevented
from passing beyond the obstruction. The bronchial tube, below the obstruction,
balloons out to form a perfect hiding place for infection and pus.

How can Serrapeptase Help?
Serrapeptase helps immensely as it clears out all of the inflammation, mucus
and dead/scar tissue. By clearing away this problem tissue it enables the
bodies own healing system to replace it with healthy tissue and better lung
function as a result.
How many do I take?
Start with 3 Tablets of Serrapeptase x 3 times per day on an empty stomach and
increase it to 4 x 3 if no relief with 7 days. Then gradually reduce to 1
x 1.
Testimony
“I can’t
tell you what a difference those tablets have made to this household,” smiles
Mrs Maher. “They’ve kept the disease at bay. Without them he just wouldn’t be
here.” Asbestosis Suffer
