Causes, Treatment & Supportive Nutrition
The information below provides a general overview and may not apply to everyone. Any treatment protocol should be discussed with a qualified healthcare practitioner. Please refer to our Medical & Legal Disclaimer.
The Lung as Toxin Remover
The lungs' two most important roles in removing toxins entail the excretion of carbon dioxide in your breath as well as muscular movement that boosts the circulation of lymph and blood. This internal circulation transports toxins to where they can be effectively eliminated.
Potential Causes
Smoking (Including Second-hand Exposure)
Long-term exposure to tobacco increases your risk for lung cancer, respiratory infections, other lung problems, and possibly heart disease.

Asbestos Fibers
Researchers discovered that asbestos fibers are small enough to be inhaled into the lungs and can scar lung tissue, cause lung cancer and mesothelioma - a fairly uncommon cancer of the lining of the lung or abdominal cavity.
Early Detection
For Smokers
Every smoker should insist on an annual spiral CT lung scan. It can spot a lung tumor as small as a grain of rice.
