"Cpneumoniae infection can vary in severity, sometimes producing little or no symptoms, other times causing life-threatening pneumonia or bronchitis. It is responsible for approximately ten percent of all pneumonia cases worldwide. In industrialized countries, approximately fifty percent of the population is in possession of Cpneumoniae antibodies by early adulthood. Men have a greater prevalence of antibodies than women, and re-infection throughout life appears to be common(l)." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"This is a bit like saying pneumonia is an illness of low antibiotics because we treat pneumonia with antibiotics."100 Correlation with serotonin is not necessarily causation by serotonin.101 Furthermore, the monoamine system comprises only a small percent of the neurons in the brain. The largest regulatory systems in the brain are the glutamate and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) systems. Glutamate excites neurons and induces activity, whereas GABA inhibits neurons.102 Gerard Sanacora at Yale is pursuing research into these neurotransmitter systems." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"By reducing the likelihood of a cold progressing to pneumonia. More vitamin C is needed during colds. It is also interesting that vitamin C is found in high concentrations in phagocytes and lymphocytes, indicating that vitamin C may have important functional roles in these immune system cells. Vitamin C increases the production of interferon in the body. Interferon inhibits viral proliferation, including colds. Lack of vitamin C has been found to raise the risk of many infections, especially pneumonia." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"Consider the fact that when a cancer patient undergoes chemo, and then succumbs to pneumonia because their immune system has collapsed from the chemo, that is recorded as death by pneumonia—not cancer. Now add in all of the people who have died from the side effects of chemo and radiation, and you find that mortality rates are not just unchanged but have probably gone backwards. How Can This Be? Are we being scammed and lied to? Are cures being deliberately suppressed, as some people believe?" - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Strep pneumonia bacteria were leading causes of ear infections, disease-associated deafness, pneumonia deaths, and what was commonly called strep throat. Severe strep infections could result in bacterial colonization of the meninges tissues, leading to meningitis and life-threatening infections of the central nervous system. In the preantibiotic era, 30 to 35 percent of all S. pneumoniae infections were fatal.9 In 1996 S. pneumoniae was the leading cause of pneumonia in the United States, producing four million adult cases annually. Outpatient treatment costs alone topped $1 billion a year." - Laurie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (Get the book.)

"Louise was seventy-nine years old at the time and had been admitted to a community hospital with heart failure complicated by pneumonia. Louise's son said she had been on a ventilator for several days, was getting powerful steroids and high concentrations of oxygen, but she was still failing. She went into kidney failure and her doctors said there was nothing more to do. Louise's son was a biochemist and knowledgeable about the nutritional supplement CoQIO. He had asked the doctors at the hospital to place his mother on CoQIO. They refused. CoQIO was not on their list of "approved formulas." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Staph A can cause pneumonia and infections of the skin, blood, heart and bone. • One in 20 E. coli infections in intensive care unit (ICU) patients is now virtually untreatable. • About 7% of people ill with Enterococci infections have vancomicin-resistant Enterococci, which can cause urinary tract, wound and blood infections. • Nearly 5% of E. coli infections are comprised of bacteria that are resistant to multiple drugs." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"If that happened, it could be fatal. pneumonia is the fifth-leading cause of death in the United States. It kills about 100,000 Americans every year, many of them very young, or elderly. It kills about 3.5 million children worldwide every year. To help Hugo, I put him on the following Healing Program. Hugo s Healing Program • Antifungal medication. Drugs such as nystatin could help eliminate the Candida overgrowth in Hugo's gut, which was exacerbating his allergies and contributing to the heavy load that was dragging down his immune system." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "In their efforts to quell the pneumonia, his doctors gave him a cephalosporin antibiotic, in an IV drip. Right after that, though, he developed bright red rings under his eyes, and his joints began to swell and ache. He could hardly speak. Hugo began to fear the doctors. When any of them entered the room, he would croak, "I'm full," which was his two-year-old way of saying, "No more." Finally, one of the doctors mentioned the possibility that Hugo might be having an allergic reaction to cephalosporin. "Then let's use another drug," Ron said." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "He was alarmingly young to have such a persistent pneumonia. That was when the doctors decided that Hugo needed to be tested for meningitis, with the lumbar puncture. Hugo, barely old enough to talk, would need to lie motionless on his side in a fetal position, to open the spaces between his vertebrae, as the doctor slid a hollow needle into the membrane covering Hugo's spinal cord, to withdraw fluid. Ron would have to hold Hugo down, so that he wouldn't jerk away from the pain, and drive the needle into his spine. So Ron waited with Hugo, stroking his hot face, and keeping him calm." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"It is extremely toxic when inhaled in concentrated vapors and repeated exposure may lead to bronchitis and pneumonia. Ammonia can cause chemical burns, cataracts, and corneal damage and has been shown to produce skin cancer. Chlorine bleach and chlorine byproducts form the basis of all sorts of conventional household cleaners: toilet-bowl cleaners, laundry detergents, dishwasher detergents, tub and tile cleaners—the list goes on and on." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Thanks to antibiotics, far fewer people fall victim to infectious diseases like pneumonia and smallpox. But in more recent years, the chronic overuse of antibiotics has become a huge problem in our culture. Pediatricians prescribe antibiotics to children for the most minor health complaints—even ones that antibiotics can do nothing to treat. "There was always this expectation that your doctor's visit was a failed one if you didn't emerge with antibiotics," Dr. Boscamp said. But in the past five years, the situation has changed somewhat. " - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"In 2004 researchers told a United Nations panel that dietary shortages of crucial vitamins and minerals like zinc and iron may be keeping as many as a third of the world's people from reaching their full potential; as many as one-fifth of the world's population lack enough zinc in their diets, putting children in particular at risk of dwarfism, diarrhea, and serious respiratory infections such as pneumonia. Symptoms of a nutritional deficiency are not necessarily obvious. Associated conditions develop slowly over time and can be very insidious and difficult to identify." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"My father died of pneumonia before I graduated, but I knew he was proud of me." Marge met her husband while she was at nursing school in Napa Valley. "He was 16 and I was 18 and he followed me around for three years, if you can call that courting. I told him, 'I'm not going to marry anyone until I'm an RN.' But after that happened, I told him, 'If you really want to be a doctor, we'll get married and I'll support you.'" And she did, through two years of college and then four more of medical school." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"It is now known that MMS can be used to overcome the symptoms of AIDS, Hepatitis A, B & C, Typhoid, most cancers, herpes, pneumonia, food poisoning, tuberculosis, asthma, colds, flu and a host of other conditions. Even conditions not directly related to pathogens seem to be helped due to the huge boost to the body's immune system, for example, macular degeneration, allergies, lupus, inflammatory bowel disorders, diabetes, snake bites, abscessed teeth and fibromyalgia. Please note that MMS doesn't cure anything, but rather it allows our body to heal itself." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"It can also be activated by medical problems such as pneumonia, burns, stroke, and use of certain drugs such as glucocorticoids and diuretics. Chronic complications in both Type-1 and Type-2 diabetes are similar. They emerge from the same causal pathways. They include two main metabolic problems: the glycosylated protein and the intracellular accumulation of sorbitol." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Surviving illnesses such as pneumonia or cancer Exercise is like a shield that protects you from physical and biochemical stress. In addition, the more fat-free muscle you create with exercise, the higher your resting energy consumption. You burn more calories at rest when you have a greater amount of lean muscle. On the flip side, inactivity leads to muscle atrophy and loss of muscle mass—or lower resting energy consumption. Inactivity wreaks all kinds of havoc by ?promoting the storage of energy as fat, which produces inflammatory substances; ?contributing to insulin resistance; and ?" - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "At about the same time, she developed bronchitis; a chest X-ray and a CAT scan revealed pneumonia and enlarged lymph nodes. A biopsy confirmed that she had sarcoidosis, a disease that produces microscopic clumps of inflammatory cells in different parts of the body. But a six-month regimen of steroids resolved her symptoms. Georgia was thirty pounds overweight and had slightly elevated blood pressure. Some of her teeth were crowned, and one was missing. Her skin was tender to the touch, especially around her neck, shoulders, lower back, and hips." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Recently transferred from another community hospital, Mary was suffering with congestive heart failure complicated by pneumonia. She was seventy-nine years old, and, except for childbirth, it was the only time she had ever been admitted to a hospital. Until now, she had been a healthy, vibrant woman. Mary's son Bob, a Ph.D. biochemist, was an expert in coenzyme Q10 and other nutritional supplements. He had asked the doctors at the community hospital if he could place his mother on coenzyme Q10, but they'd refused." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"However, after treatment, those who'd been prayed for had significantly less severe symptoms and fewer instances of pneumonia and also required less assistance on a ventilator and fewer antibiotics than patients who hadn't been prayed for. Although a large number of studies had been carried out, the problem with many of them, as far as Elisabeth was concerned, was.the potential for sloppy protocol. The researchers hadn't constructed trials tightly enough to demonstrate that it was truly healing that had produced the positive result." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"It was even worse than it had been during the times when her chronic lung infections had flamed into fiill-blown pneumonia, causing her chest to gurgle with algae-colored mucus. Was it time to rush Keri to the hospital? Donna didn't know. The doctors there couldn't do much more than she could do here, with the nebulizer, the inhaler, and the standard meds. Donna shepherded Keri to the bathroom and blasted hot steam into the bathtub as Keri hunched over the sink. Keri vomited from the congestion in her throat and from the spasms that choked her chest." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Many pains that occur in this area are due to disease or disturbances of the internal organs (such as heart attack, lung cancer, pneumonia, etc.), so it is especially important to see your doctor if you suffer pain in the midback, even if The thoracic spine, or midback region, showing the thoracic vertebrae (A) and the ribs (B and C) Injury to the supraspinous ligament you think it's from an athletic injury. For instance, muscle injuries in this area often create pain when you breathe deeply—but so does pneumonia. Ligament Injuries to the Midback WHAT IS IT?" - Ben E.

"This is one of the reasons so many people develop pneumonia. pneumonia is an extreme catarrhal condition that should be diagnosed and treated by a doctor. Lung congestion and pneumonia may be associated with heart trouble or with kidney problems. So you see that the lungs are a very important elimination channel to take care of. Nothing Wrong With My Lungs I treated a man a short time ago whose first analysis showed he had lung troubles. But he said, "I have nothing wrong with my lung structure." Four days later, he was in the hospital with pneumonia." - B. Jensen, Arthritis, Rheumatism and Osteoporosis (Get the book.)

"To begin with the initial presentation with fever can be cured so pneumonia never gets a chance to occur. Secondly, using HP, would be of inestimable value for the critically ill person with early pneumonia. This therapy will start to correct both the virus and any bacteria that have started to invade the lung. If the antibiotic choice turns out to be wrong the patient still gets well. I urge physicians and hospitals to get involved with starting HP programs so lives can be saved that might otherwise be lost. This is a simple technology that is readily adapted to a physician's office." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"In 1992, for example, reports began to emerge of a chemical pneumonia caused by use of Wilson's Leather Protector, an over-the-counter aerosol leather spray. The outbreak was linked to a newly marketed fluorocarbon contained in a revised formulation of the sptay. The producr was recalled. Less than a year later, a second outbreak occurred in the United States from the use of Magic Guard, another reformulated leather spray. As recently as 2003, sporadic pneumonia cases were still being linked to similar products newly introduced into the European market, and a new U.S." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"Medical care for illness (heart attacks, trauma, cancer treatment, pneumonia, appendicitis, etc.) increases our life span by 44 to 45 months. The overall effect of medical care, then, has been to increase longevity by only about 5 years and 3 months during the twentieth century. (It is also important to remember that many medical interventions—like joint replacement and cataract removal—can produce benefits in the quality of life without improving longevity. These improvements are included in the World Health Organization's calculation of "healthy life expectancy," discussed above." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Acid Blockers and Pneumonia Several studies have shown that the use of acid-suppressing drugs-including H2-blockers and proton pump inhibitors—is linked to increased risk of a certain type of pneumonia. Why would this be? Stomach acid kills off bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that could cause dangerous infections if allowed to pass further into the body. Suppressing acid production, then, reduces this natural bodily defense against hazardous "bugs." - Hyla Cass, M.D., Supplement Your Prescription: What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutrition (Get the book.)

"BISER: How did you know they were dying from pneumonia? Herbalist: They had lung problems all their lives. They were, I'm going to say, early 70's, and they had numerous bouts with pneumonia and finally, they had serious bouts of pneumonia that they couldn't get rid of. The doctors had already used all their drugs. BISER: So it was drug-resistant? Herbalist: Absolutely. BISER: That means there were no more drugs to use? Herbalist: That's right. Nobody could help. Of course, this is when numerous elderly people succumb and it's from pneumonia. It's a common cause of death in nursing homes." - Sam Biser, Sam Biser's save your life collection: A Layman's course in curing last-stage diseases (Get the book.)
