If we aren't in a peaceful environment or don't have the tools for getting rest, then our recovery and healing will be prolonged. Yes, the porta-lung can expedite the healing process for colds because one with compromised breathing the strength needed to fight the cold. See, I don't have a lot of resistance or strength to combat a respiratory infection on my own. But the porta-lung's constant negative base line pressure stretches my lung muscles and oxygenates all the little fibres and capallaries inside the lungs to help them better battle the infection. We need to have rest and minimize the stress on our bodies to heal and then to function properly. Do we realize that finding new alternatives can improve one's life dramatically? Rather than going with the status quo in medical science, sometimes it is good to research other alternatives - as painful as it may be to do the research. If the patient can't do the research, perhaps there is a loved one who can. Just a suggestion. Yes, rest is very important for recovery and healing.

I'd have thought the Porta Lung could be a vehicle for healing, not just maintainance. That's still such a mystery, even to medical science...how often don't we hear "Well, get some rest!" for a variety of ailments? Anything that helps one breathe, which in turn helps one sleep and REDUCE STRESS, seems bound to aid healing, even if we can't describe that process precisely.You nailed it pretty well!
