The Body Self-Cleanses, Repairs & Heals
When the toxicity of these accumulated poisons, mucus, etc., exceeds the body’s tolerance, the natural vital forces set up a miracle cleansing-healing (common colds) crisis. The body induces a rise in body temperature (fever) to burn up the many toxins, while others are eliminated by a heavy discharge of mucus from the nose, mouth and throat. If the toxic overload is heavy, there may be a discharge of mucus from the bowels and perhaps diarrhea.

Your Miracle Nose – Pathway to the Lungs
The Bragg Super Power Breathing technique is the most essential part of The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle. Your nose and nasal passageways are essential factors in all your breathing. So it’s important that we understand the nose and the vital role it plays in breathing.
The nose is a system of passages and hollow spaces that link the external nose to the eyes, ears, mouth and throat. It is through this intricate pathway that oxygenrich air travels from our nose to our lungs. You might wonder why we have this complicated breathing mechanism made up of cartilage, bone and soft tissue organized into several pairs of hollow air-spaces called sinuses. When afflicted with some sinus or nasal complaint you might think it just can’t be worth all the trouble. After all, the mouth and throat seem to do the breathing work just fine — and it’s just a simple and direct air pathway to the lungs.

Your Nose is a Natural Air-Filtration System
The hollow spaces of the nose - called sinuses - act as an “echo chamber” which makes our voices resonate (unless the sinuses are stuffed up). These open spaces – located behind our eyebrows and nose and between the eyes – also give us better balance and cushion the brain from blows to the head. Our sense of smell is located in the nose. However, the most important function of the nose, the sinuses and nose hairs, is to condition and filter the air as it passes through to your faithful and hard-working lungs.

Nosebleeds
Another common health complaint is nosebleeds. Various conditions cause nosebleeds, including blows to the face, excessive dryness, changes in atmospheric pressure, scratching or blowing the nose too strenuously.
Nosebleeds can be classified either as anterior (discharging out the nose) or posterior (discharging down the throat). Posterior bleeding originates in the sinus cavities behind the eyebrows, nose or between the eyes. No matter what position the person is in, the blood will drain out the back of the mouth and down the throat. This condition can affect the elderly that have high blood pressure and they need their doctor’s advice.

Toxic Building Materials
Because we human beings have managed to pollute the water, air and earth, our Mother Nature suffers. We know now that to stay healthy we must take precautions in some areas when we go in the great outdoors – or even in our backyard. But, it is probably a surprise to most people that even the “great indoors” can be unhealthy and polluted also. Many of our homes and buildings are so toxic that they are unfit to live and work in.
Today unfortunately many of our modern homes and buildings, even cars that shelter and protect us from the elements contain invisible vapors that slowly poison us as they give shelter! Contamination sources are many – and far too unrecognized and unaddressed.
