Breathe Again Naturally

I had the good fortune to study with Dr. Bernard Jensen in 1980. He introduced natural cures used along with iridology, the study of the eyes for diagnosis. His careful concern for his patients, his delightful personality and wealth of information on natural treatments including foods, herbs, and exercise can be found in all his books. He himself lived to his mid 90s in good health and with a positive, optimistic healing message: protect your health with God's natural treasures. Breathe Again Naturally is easy to read and apply to daily life. The information about clearing toxins and catarrh from the body is vital now more than ever in our time of pollution, flu, SARS, asthma, and people who smoke.

This book has helped me tremendously with my lifelong problem with asthma and allergies. My copy is well worn from the many times I have desperately searched and reasearched it when I have been very sick. It is a book of much common sense, humor, and integrity. The author himself suffered from a terrible lung disease in his youth , and this helps him to write with insight, understanding and compassion. He writes that asthma is a mucus problem, and stongly suggests and list foods to eliminate from the diet that aggravate this condition. He also says that often asthmatic people have acidic bodies and need alkaline foods. Dr. Jensen places great emphasis on mental attitude in helping to overcome asthma, as it is often aggravated by stress. There are some great case histories in the back of the book, so you will not feel alone with your problems. Jensen also gives exercise suggestions which are tailored for those with varying physical capacities. Jensen lists many good herbs to make tea from that are beneficial for asthma, bronchitis, and colds. I highly recommend this heartfelt and inexpensive book to anyone who has these problems.
