My wife had a bilobectomy in 2010, because of infection and bronchiectasis. Since then she has had chest X-rays and CT scans done alternately every 3 months. All the reports consistently indicated that there was opacity in the right lung plus pleural effusion We tried numerous medications to eradicate the situation to no avail. Then I learned about The Salt Cavern. We gave it a try, out of desperation.
It so happened that she had a CT scan right before the treatment. Then 3 months into the treatment, she had another X-ray. Of course the X-ray was not conclusive. However, it did indicate that there was some clearing of the lung. It was quite encouraging. So we continued with the salt treatment. Recently she had another CT scan. This was the first time, in over two years, that some progress had been made. The report, by a radiologist, on 8/31/2012 indicated that "The previously seen parenchymal opacity in the right lower lobe has resolved. There is no pleural effusion." I truly believe that the salt treatment has a lot of impact on improving her condition.
I tried to figure out the mechanism of action. I do not own a laboratory nor am I able to run some scientific test to verify the effectiveness of the treatment. I can only theorize how it works. Here is what I think. The salt particles, with its osmotic and ionic properties, when inhaled, attached to the moisture inside the lung. It then dissolves and facilitates the fluid and ion transfer (plus oxygen/carbon dioxide) in and out of the lung tissue. This is why even with bronchiectasis, where some of the lung tissues are not functioning properly, the salt treatment can help the transfer of fluid and oxygen, thereby clearing up the excess fluid and mucous inside the lung and increasing lung function.
I do not normally write any critiques or reviews. This time I do feel compelled to write one. Thanks Salt Cavern, a job well done. You have made a marked difference in her quality of life and health status.
