Dear Tracy, Emphysema is a conditon where the alveoli sacks of the lungs get stretched out like an overstretched balloon. This loss of elescticity of these balloon like sacs in the lungs where actual gas exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide results in pockets where fluids intended to lubicate the lungs pool up, A healthy person will get th is lung pooling effect if you lie in one position too long that is why the flip you regularly like a pancake after surgery-to prevent post-surgical pneumonia. It is why we are programmed to turn often in our sleep. A person with stretech out alveoli sacs can't clear the fluid easily no matter what position they are in. So they are prone to chronic lung infections, which in turn make them sort of always have a low grade pneumonia like condition. CS would clear out the pathogens and let their damaged lungs work at maximum efficinecy.
I ran accross a cure for emphysema a while back. Lobelia tincture is one thing that is useful in this condition as well as asthma. I can't recall what i know abou the cure. Very tired and sleepy right now which does not help. I will try to recall that stuff later. barb -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
