What is a nebulizer?
A nebulizer is a motorized device with an air compressor which will turn liquid into a mist of tiny bubbles that is inhaled (breathed in) into the lungs for absorption, allowing the body to receive vitamins, such as Glutathione, PRP, or NAC to the tissue area. A mask, mouthpiece and compressor tubing is part of the therapy treatment.

Administration of Inhalation Therapy
Totally noninvasive, a mask is placed over the nose and mouth and a cool mist is breathed in slowly for about 10 – 15 minutes. The treatment itself is painless. Treatment frequency depends on need, with symptomatic relief of colds and flus seen immediately. In severe cases, 2 – 3 treatments per week for 4 weeks is sufficient to improve pulmonary function and allergies. At this point the dosing is decreased to 1 treatment per week for 3-4 weeks. Milder cases typically require fewer treatments per week.
Glutathione Inhalation
Our bodies produces its own Glutathione, our strongest antioxidant. However, poor diet, pollution, toxins, medications, stress, trauma, infections, and radiation deplete our natural reserve and ability to produce adequate Glutathione. Glutathione inhalation is very safe unless there is a sensitivity to sulfates. It is an excellent choice for correcting imbalances in our bodies brought on by illness, addiction, and other dysfunction in our body’s antioxidant status and assist with detoxifying our body.
Shown to:
-
Increases immune function by increasing the number of white blood cells.
-
Reduces ear fullness, nasal obstruction and runny nose (rhinorrhea).
-
Decreasing mucous production and thickness by acting as a mucolytic.
-
Increases the amount of oxygen carried in the red blood cells.
-
Quenches free radicals in the respiratory tract thus decreasing oxidant damage to lung tissue.
-
Decreases smoking induced damage to lung tissue.
-
Decreases allergic symptoms due to pollution.
PRP Inhalation
There’s evidence to suggest that PRP can help to treat lung disease.
PRP can be used to reduce the signs of respiratory illness and help patients recover from them.
Pulmonary fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are two types of chronic lung disease, the latter often caused by smoking. In patients with these diseases, platelet-rich plasma had a good effect on their physical symptoms and quality of life.
PRP therapy helped with exercise tolerance, quality of life, and dyspnea (breathing difficulties) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) , and a high number of patients with interstitial lung disease who were treated with combination of PRP and stem cell therapy reported a perceived better quality of life both 3 and 6 months later.
PRP contains growth factors (like vascular endothelial growth factors) that can help in the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). PRP (platelet-rich plasma) extract has been shown to regenerate the blood vessels and alveoli of the lungs in mice. This may help make future treatments for angiogenesis-related lung diseases.
