Frightning pet scan is there a better less restrictive machine out there ?


giving us patients more than the 1/4 of an inch to move for the 30 min s we are confined in a brace. my first test was 3 yrs ago and was negative. since then i have lung breathing problems with nodules all over and now another spot was found on my lung . the coordinator of pet scan test tells me she thinks there may be a machine now that is more open and less frightning to the mind . even she when she had the test freaked out banging machine until they took her out early and put her to sleep which is unheard of .any positive answers appreciated

Hi Yankee

Here is an herb that helps you breathe.

Lobelia Tincture

Formulae:
Lobelia seed in organic raw apple cider vinegar and pure grain alcohol.
Therapeutic Action:
Lobelia is one of the most powerful and versatile herbs I know. In my clinic I learned to rely on this herb more than any other. I learned in the first few years of my practice: "When in doubt, try Lobelia."

Lobelia has two mail uses, first as an antispasmodic and second as a bronchial dilator and expectorant. As an antispasmodic it is second to none and will relax the entire body and organs. This is why it is one of the mail ingredients in the Nerve Formula.

It is also the greatest herb for problems with the lungs. IT IS A STRONG BRONCHIAL DILATOR. It will get you breathing easily again. It also will help you to expectorate material out of the lungs. I have seen it work with a hundred different disorders, When it doubt, try it!

In American herbal history, from Samuel Thompson, one of the great 18th century herbalists, to Dr. John Christopher, Lobelia was an important healing plant. This is the only herb that Dr. Christopher devoted an entire chapter to in his herbal book. Although currently in America the F.D.A. has cautioned us on using this plant, in Europe it is an important over the counter drug sold in many modern drug stores. To begin with, alkaloids are one of the most powerful of all plant chemicals. Not all plants have them. Some have a few, but Lobelia ranks high, with 14 different alkaloids. I am explaining this so you will understand that we know very little about this plant except that it is a powerful healer.


Best of health to you

Cheers

You could ask your doctor for a valium sedative prior to the test. Also, ask the tech to program the scan for "head first", not "feet first", this way, by the time you feel anxious at least your head is out in the open air.
