A sign of something more serious. And his own host took to cost a nickel tot. This is new dr i have when i get nervous. And then theres this big deep productive cough like this. No i will show you this but today were going to talk about coffee welcome to him thats a. Doctor told is an expert in cuffs interest but richard diseases. Hes the head of the limo department here at the hill his clinic in berlin. Is a normal subgroup of the body when it consists for a longer time we need to watch me coughing is great yes i really mean it cutting is great because it helps you to get rid of all the stuff in your lungs like the dust or the insects you inhale and it gets rid of all the big tyria infection so if you catch a cold should start coughing it takes some time and this perhaps you take some Home Remedies. In the fall and winter when cold viruses begin to spread youre likely to hear people coughing where ever you go. Thats what brought esther on bush to go to her Doctors Office today shes been fighting a cough for days. She hopes her doctor can help. It but she checks to see if she might be developing pneumonia but her lungs are clear. In. Cough is usually a symptom of a viral infection that will subside within a few days a cough can be bothersome and even painful it can disrupt your sleep and its not pleasant but usually its nothing to worry about two girls is over one hundred that is just about ninety percent of all coughs are caused by viruses and unfortunately there are no medications that will knock out a virus. And if you want to go skiing biopics have the reputation of being very good factor if so many people come in hoping for a prescription of antibiotics and what many people dont know is that they are completely ineffective against viruses this year mention this group. But it is possible to alleviate symptoms with Home Remedies like honey. Studies show it reduces throat irritation for about half an hour. Steam and elevation can also help either using pure water or water with a drop of camel mile it helps morrison and soothe the irritated mucus membranes. Expectorants are substances that help loosen mucus and phlegm but there are effective measures under dispute youre probably better off just drinking more liquids that also helps loosen up thick mucus making it easier to cough up and that helps the infection clear up. Cough suppressants should be avoided if youre unable to sleep due to coughing know your doctor might prescribe a cough syrup that contains coating. But during the day you should not suppress a cough. If that is the carfree flex as a protective mechanisms that protects your body from substances that you might have inhaled and they could be harmful if they remain in your lungs thats why you shouldnt rely on a cough suppressant every time you get a cold or bronchitis. But Home Remedies can help for example homemade onion syrup has an anti inflammatory effect that herbal tea or and this cough drops can soothe your throat but theres no substitute for patience coughs often last up to two weeks if it lasts longer than that or if you have a fever its time to see your doctor. We just saw in the report that there are different remedies for treating a. So how do you treat it and the clinic we usually dont treat kofu look for reasons for coffee there are many reasons like to move those like pneumonia was an ally gastro for example and usually when we treat the lying disease also the coughing stops and i mean i use the g. P. S. Usually treating common colds and flu like symptoms so what should i prescribe my patients what they could prescribe some of these one of the hard drugs like here is c. C. Or like to me dean for example that helps to relieve the symptoms but it never accused the cough when there was a reason for cough so is it better to stop a cough or two to help to lose in the nucleus of a membrane well if that can be achieved loosening the move its a good goal you can also tell the patient to drink enough to because the fluid go to goes into the you consume loosens. But when the cough persists for a longer time they need to see a specialist ok if youve got a common cold you take anything no not at all so why do we have to see a specialist with a persistent cough because as a search for the underlying diseases like if a smoker for example cough for more than three to six weeks. B. We get x. Ray and see the tumour and to choose the reason for cough if you have young people home with a few. Associated with the cough we do in the x. Ray to see whether they have pneumonia and then we use them to be objects of the cough resolves so this is all an underlying disease and there are dangerous diseases like a cure but there could even be Something Like that allergic reaction there is exactly but specially this happens and some moron susan its only something that happens to younger people we could have you a question one of our viewers from kenya ghana q re that wants to know if you can get a cuff even if theres no infection and no tumor involved more psychosomatic kind of. Well there are situations psychosomatic but its a real event. There are some reports for example that instamatic people looking at thing goes some of the pictures you know start coughing this is definitely not this is semantic but usually we have to look behind the picture with disease focus so the lot of reasons for coughing and one of those reasons might be a whooping cough so now you might say this doesnt affect me because im not a child and this is children disease and im vaccinated against it but dont be so sure about this here in germany because its on the rise. You know it sounds like an ordinary cough but then it gets worse a coughing fit that makes it hard to breeze could be whooping cough. And whatnot of the think you wake up in the middle of the night because it up in bed but at first you cant get any air so you start to panic panic. Being cough an adult says on the rise there were more than eight thousand cases diagnosed in germany last year doctors estimate the true number of cases could be as high as fifty thousand per year. Which we never used to think about what being cough we didnt see it in adults but more and more often we are seeing within coffin adults. Or whos in the process bacteria is very contagious if you breathe it in or it comes in contact with mucus membranes its easy to become infected or the patients have a persistent cough that wont stop and can even continue for months six to eight months isnt unheard of. By a mere dec and her partner frank peters and both had it as a nurse but she doesnt know where she was infected at first she thought it was just an ordinary cough can you can fly didnt have a fever or anything like that just a cough but it got worse and worse and i started having pain in my ribs the cough was so strong that it hurt by ribs and i felt very weak here. After two weeks her coughing fits grew more intense especially at night she couldnt get any rest and before then it got really bad my cough would wake me up in the middle of the night out of a deep sleep i couldnt catch my breath it was so bad i started to panic a case of national pancake. Finally she went to a lung specialist he suspected whooping cough right away and ran a blood test to detect piteousness antibodies. And then a day later the results came in definitely whooping cough i was very surprised. Her doctor prescribed an antibiotic the drug kills the whooping cough bacteria and prevents the patient from infecting others but it does little to quiet the cough. And if youve got to that peeking us out even with antibiotics it just went on yeah. Yet i have its been three weeks and im still coughing its like i have a frog in my throat. The bacteria is spread in droplets from person to person through the air that lodges in the mucus membranes of the upper respiratory tract the bronchial tubes and lungs. The bacteria multiply and secrete a toxin that stays in the airways even after the bacteria have been killed the toxin attacks the silly in the bronchial tubes is a fire here can these fine celio are damaged by the toxin and the damage cells later die thats what causes the intense car off and also what does damage to the mucus membranes. In germany whooping cough is becoming a serious problem again because many people arent getting vaccinated. Skipping the vaccine can be harmful to your health. But for babies who are too young to be vaccinated whooping cough can be life threatening. And order specially when young babies cant breathe its very dangerous being cough can be fatal in infants its not just a harmless childhood disease and the harm was account for the time in the. Increased vaccination rates would help protect infants and young children. Thats why two mothers whose babies died of whooping cough have launched a Public Awareness campaign. One baby was three months old the other just four weeks. If everyone got vaccinated every ten years being cough could be eradicated. We just saw two really tragic cases of the cuff so why is it that patients dont. Get more vaccinated while the vaccination is a vaccination with the very young and then the parents have to decide whether the vaccination takes place and also society there are a lot of people who dont trust x. Or nation especially in germany its a very hot control business there is a committee that recommends vaccinations and those are safe why a mother also fall those dont vaccinate their children for whooping cough i dont know if its focused more on adults so adults should get get the freshmen and the nation over some period of time every adult should be vaccinated every ten years especially those that are exposed so all those work with young people with children or even with totals over ten years when we command a really vaccination because at least we know when they drop in cough and they have more oil to zs we just saw Something Like an outbreak here of whooping cough in germany you know in two thousand and sixteen there are twenty two thousand cases how do you recognize that this is not the normal cough but this is a good thing its difficult but the quality of the cough its a very dramatic coughing and people even vomit because its so dramatic the cough and its specialist how do you diagnose a compass is something that test well its a lab test folks usually have a laptop takes about two weeks all the hunting but its what is need to develop but we can always try to get a hold. Microorganism on it turn up a tossers either boy p. C. R. All by culture so why is who think of such dangerous when its dangerous for very young the older its not very dangerous tires are only a low mortality associated with it but its one hundred day cough so its a very and when you cough. But you can treat it we contribute perfectly its very sensible. Against. The audience we have but the walking cough persists for. So you can treat the symptoms but you can reduce the chance of spreading. Thanks so much for inviting me today into a clinic and if youve got any questions you like me to ask our experts be sure to write to me and. Then one of our upcoming shows will be looking at prato biology how does the day night rhythm affect our body clock why does medication affect us differently at different times of day if you have a question about that right to in good shape at d w dot com with the subject line chronobiology we look forward to hearing from you. This is really strange moving your eyes should help against pain for instance lower back pain especially when the pain is caused by a trauma thats what scientists. Are like in our next patient. And today is because trains his eye on his therapist finger as it moves back and forth at the same time he has to consciously think of his chronic back pain its a therapy called i Movement Desensitization and reprocessing and raise was skeptical when his doctor first recommended d. R. Whats your. My initial reaction was this is just hocus pocus its not something tangible after all. But it helps. If you know we tested it and then incorporated it into our Pain Management program i was impressed with the results and said spine topic which is thirty five hurt because two i know of cases from ten twelve years ago where patients say the pain is gone and it hasnt come back rooms. Andreas has suffered from chronic back pain for forty years thats often meant taking six to ten tablets a day injections and frequent doctor visits. I go back to the doctor and it would be better for four weeks but then it would come back one false move and its like im paralyzed with intense back pain. It really gets me down. After so many years his pain has taken on a life of its own his brain doesnt process the pain properly and raises back pain isnt due to an organic problem and thats why he decided to give d. R. Therapy a try this one. Is five percent of the land use this method is suited to patients who have a long history of chronic pain and who report a high level of emotional stress the idea for this test much more than our experience shows that pathological processes can sustain pain even if they have nothing to do with the pain initially. In andreas braca bushs case his episodes of back pain are triggered by emotions that have a connection to a specific experience in his past. And the fog wasnt going on i was on the tram and had this awful back pain i couldnt sit stand or lie down comfortably. There was an old woman across from me who got terribly worked up because i couldnt sit still. He felt humiliated and rejected during therapy he amasses himself in that memory and tries to separate the sensation of pain from the Emotional Experience thats where the eye movements come in as they were going to be there are very good studies that show that the eye movements help trigger changes in the electrical activity of the brain and how information is processed. That transforms the pathological memories into normal memory so normile in norman over the years and raise his brain eroni asli stored the emotional memory of his back pain in the limbic system instead of in the felonous. When andreas experiences strong emotions his brain goes to where the back pain is stored and releases it. E. M. T. After a pee helps to separate the pain from the emotion the brain can then process the pain correctly and overcome it. The method also works with phantom pain daniel has lost his lower arm in a Road Accident after the amputation he began to feel pain in the arm he no longer had this is his tenth e. M. T. Our session with pain therapist. Yeah those. Shifts now to talk pain started to ease after the fifth or sixth session when you. First the sensation of heat in my arm changed i was shocked because something felt different then i realized my hand the phantom hand felt cold and didnt hurt as much but when you go the therapy helped alleviate the intense pain in his amputated arm better than the strong pain medication he used to take. Business preference we found that in half of all phantom pain patients the pain vanishes in bite and the other half the pain is reduced and once the pain is gone it stays gone. Similar results have been found in people with chronic pain and today i started seeing results after the tenth session. So this is interesting to fly i had this relaxed feelings to lose it felt like i was finally free of it or not and i cant really describe it it just happened years up i had the feeling its over and done with yet sed this is fair. And today is parker bush finished his course of e. M. T. Off their appeal now he can finally say goodbye to all those pills. So this should be enough its one. Salt and this should last for a day from breakfast time to the soup at dinner more is not healthy for you because it can raise your Blood Pressure and it can harm your body and if too much of it body can get rid of it. For the first time excess salt has been made visible as deposits in the bodys tissues an incredible breakthrough and the result of years of research. Its a groundbreaking discovery and opens up new possibilities about where to look for sodium in the body. When we have such a surprising finding that isnt contained in our textbooks we have to ask ourselves why thats the case. Until now scientists have only been able to trace the passage of sodium through our blood circulatory system into the kidneys which produce urine and excrete the excess salt but researchers can now detect salt deposits in the bodys tissues with the help of Magnetic Resonance imaging the machine makes the sodium the harmful part of the salt visible. Sodium ions are deposited in the skin and muscle tissue. The brighter the white region in the photo the higher the salt content. The researchers found that salt in the tissue disrupts the immune system. It can strengthen the immune system but it can also impede it. Salt is vital to our health but getting the right amount is important. Too little can be just as dangerous to health as too much. Too little salt. Results in insufficient sodium levels in the brain leading to confusion and disorientation in that case you have to intervene sometimes with the help of medication excessive amounts of salt are also unhealthy they can lead to high Blood Pressure and water retention. For people with certain heart conditions too much salt can also be a problem if you can stay here. During rehabilitation part patients learn about the effects of salt they are advised to consume at least four to five grams but no more than six grams per day and thats no easy feat. On his eye this contains one gram six grams isnt all that much. And had he shines. By cooking meals at home you can decide exactly how much salt to put in and of course its important that you dont add even more salt at the table. I never really thought about cutting back on salt believe me if you still dont know youre supposed to be sparing with salt but i never really thought that with fat. Into over salt mines but now ive cut back significantly. Just like my back he suffered a heart attack twelve years ago and his Blood Pressure was one sixty over one hundred then he changed his diet and began monitoring his salt intake. Since we now use more hooves instead my wife planted some small her containers. Now off to taste much better than it did when we had large amounts of salt without thinking about it in those going to time not regular exercise is also part of the program. Spends an hour a day on the exercise bike nordic walking or just going for a stroll hes lost twenty kilos and his Blood Pressure has returned to normal is this its hard to pinpoint exactly what caused his Blood Pressure to return to normal levels with barely any medication a tool its a combination of weight loss so were duction and regular exercise. Researchers still dont agree on exactly how much Blood Pressure is raised by an excess salt but the images produced by the berlin researchers demonstrate the harmful effect on the left the tissues of a healthy person with minimal salt deposits on the right the tissues of someone with high Blood Pressure which are full of salt. The scientists suspect that salt can trigger other diseases as well. But. Our latest findings regarding immune cells show that salt isnt just a cardiovascular risk factor salt could be associated with inflammation and autoimmune diseases as well. And. My hope is that someday well be able to develop a medication that allows us to influence the mechanisms governing the harmful effect of salt. And then wed have a drug treatment we could offer our patients. Lifestyle interventions and reducing day to day salt consumption is difficult for most people. The scientists are continuing their research into the harmful effects of salt part of that is determining exactly how much sodium we can consume without suffering bad health.
