Dear Rohit,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common term that

includes more than 130 chronic lung disorders. When a

person has ILD, the lung is affected in three ways.

First, the lung tissue is damaged in some known or

unknown way. Second, the walls of the air sacs in the

lung become inflamed. Finally, scarring (or fibrosis)

begins in the interstitium (or tissue between the air

sacs), and the lung becomes stiff.

Breathlessness during exercise can be one of the first

symptoms of these diseases. A dry cough may also be

present. These are common symptoms that many people

ignore. Someone with these symptoms may wait until

they feel quite ill before going to the doctor.

 

People with different types of ILD may have the same

kind of symptoms but their symptoms may vary in

severity. Their chest x-rays may look alike. Further

testing is recommended to identify the specific type

of ILD a person has. Some ILDs have known causes and

some have unknown (idiopathic) causes.

 

The tissue between the air sacs of the lungs is called

the " interstitium. " Interstitial lung disease is named

after this tissue because this is the tissue affected

by fibrosis (scarring). Interstitial lung disease is

sometimes also known as " interstitial pulmonary

fibrosis. " The terms interstitial lung disease,

pulmonary fibrosis and interstitial pulmonary fibrosis

are often used to describe the same condition.

 

While the progress and the symptoms of these diseases

may vary from person to person, there is one common

link between the many forms of ILD. They all begin

with an inflammation. The inflammation may affect

different parts of the lung, as explained below:

 

The walls of the bronchioles (small airways). When

inflamation involves the bronchioles, it is called

bronchiolitis.

 

The walls and air spaces of the alveoli (air sacs).

When inflammation involves the alveoli, it is called

alveolitis.

 

The small blood vessels (capillaries) of the lungs.

When inflammation involves the small blood vessels, it

is called vasculitis.

 

Inflammation of these parts of the lung may heal or

may lead to permanent scarring of the lung tissue.

When scarring of the lung tissue takes place, the

condition is called pulmonary fibrosis.

 

Fibrosis, or scarring of the lung tissue, results in

permanent loss of that tissue's ability to breathe and

carry oxygen. The level of disability that a person

experiences depends on the amount of scarring of the

tissue. This is because the air sacs, as well as the

lung tissue between and surrounding the air sacs, and

the lung capillaries, are destroyed by the formation

of scar tissue. If this happens, the attending

physician may prescribe oxygen to help the patient

breathe easier.

 

Several causes of pulmonary fibrosis are known. They

include:

 

Occupational and environmental exposures to

irritants such as asbestos, Silica and metal dusts,

bacteria and animal dusts, gases and fumes. Some

diseases include asbestosis and silicosis. The

diseases are often named after the occupations with

which they are associated:

-Grain handlier's lung

-Mushroom worker's lung

-Bagassosis

-Detergent worker's lung

-Maple bark stripper's lung

-Malt worker's lung

-Paprika splitter's lung

-Bird breeder's lung

 

Infections. Lung scarring may be related to many

infections. Tuberculosis is one example.

 

Drugs. Certain medicines may have the undesirable

side effect of causing pulmonary fibrosis. Check with

your doctor about the medicines you are taking and ask

about any possible side effects.

 

Connective tissue or collagen diseases such as

-Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Sclerosis and Systemic

 

-Lupus Erythematosis

 

Genetic/familial. This is not as common as the

other causes listed.

 

Pranic Healing:

 

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after

treatment.

 

2. General sweeping twice.

 

3. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back

heart chakra. Energize th eheart throuh the back

heart chakra with LWR.

 

4. Localized thorough sweeping on the front, sides,

lower part and back of the lungs alternately with LWG

and LWO. The emphasis is on the sides and lower part

of the lungs.

 

5. Energize the lungs through the back of the lungs

with LWG, LWO then LWR. Point your fingers away from

the patient's head when energizing with O.

 

6. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back

solar plexus chakra. Energize th efront solar lexus

with W.

 

7. Localized thorough sweeping on the basic and navel

chakra. Energize them with LWR.

 

8. Scan the basic and meng mein chakras frontally and

sideways to determine the degree of activation.

 

The normal size of the meng mein is 1/2 of the average

size of the other major chakras.

 

* The ratio may be increased to 2/3 of the average

size of the other major chakras.*

 

9. Localized thorough sweeping on the basic chakra.

Energize with W simultaneously visualize the chakra

becoming bigger and brighter.

 

10. Localized thorough sweeping on the meng mein

chakra. Energize the meng mein with W. Do not

visualize the meng mein becoming bigger and brighter,

just energize it.

 

11. Rescan the basic chakra and meng mein chakra to

determine the degree of activation. Get feedback

immediately from the patient.

 

If the patient feels dizzy or feels pain on the back

of the head, immediately apply: localized sweeping

thoroughly from the head to the tail end of the spine.

Then apply thorough sweeping on the meng mein and

basic chakras until the patient is relieved.

 

12. Stabilize and release projected pranic energy.

 

13. Repeat treatment 1 or 2 times per day for the

next several days. Then repeat treatment 3 times per

week for the next 5 months or for as long as

necessary.

 

14. It is understood that if the disease is caused by

exposure to certain environmental or occupational

hazards, these harmful elements must be totally

avoided for proper healing.

 

Love,

 

Marilette
