Emphysema Smothers it’s Victim

Emphysema, another killer disease from smoking, is on the rise. Recent medical reports show that as many as half of all American men are suffering from some degree of emphysema. In this disease, the tars, nicotine and other destructive poisons of tobacco lodge in the lungs’ small air sacs, causing the sac walls to become very thin or to break down entirely. Soon the blood is no longer able to exchange poisonous carbon dioxide for life-giving oxygen. This self-destructing victim dies of oxygen starvation –being slowly smothered to death from within.
Emphysema is not a quick killer. It creeps up slowly, first with a slight cough – especially on arising. Then it attacks the smoker day and night. Slowly, air sacs are almost completely destroyed. The victim doesn’t die suddenly, but lingers on steadily deteriorating. They are forced to stay near an oxygen tank because the disease is shutting off their oxygen. When the lungs can’t operate any longer even with pure oxygen, the victim then dies.
Our breath is our life! Wecan live days without water and weeks without food, but only minutes without air. It’s the oxygen in the air we breathe that’s the greatest purifying force in Mother Nature! To get this oxygen into the lungs and bloodstream, we must breathe it in!
Smoking tobacco is against every Natural Law. When you attempt to break a Law of Mother Nature, it will break you! The heart needs large amounts of oxygen to function. Any disease that diminishes oxygen is going to destroy the health of your heart, lungs and entire body.
