Nebulizers are used to aerate water soluble medicines dissolved in water into a fine mist tolerable for inhalation in a constant & steady concentration until the medicine has been completely delivered.

"At the Ohio State University Medical Center, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, and pulmonologists endorse what they call off-label nebulization. Off-label nebulization is a rapidly growing area of patient care and in time new research and practical experience will bring us much more information on how magnesium and other agents like sodium bicarbonate, iodine, peroxide and glutathione can be administered directly into the lungs for many difficult-to-treat conditions. Even DMSO has been used in veterinarian medicine and naturopaths have used Tea Tree Oil from Australia, which is used topically as fungicide antiseptic and germicide. Eucalyptus oil has also been used forever because it is a known bronchial-dilator." Source

Nebulizers changes liquid (medicine) into fine droplets (in aerosol or mist form) that are inhaled through a mouthpiece or mask. Nebulizers can be used to deliver bronchodilator (airway-opening) medicines such as albuterol (Ventolin, Proventil or Airet) or ipratropium bromide (Atrovent). ( Stop reading if you ever used any of those. ) Nebulizers are also an excellent delivery method for introducing Colloidal Silver directly into the nose and lungs. A nebulizer may be used instead of a spray bottle or nasal inhaler.

Nebulizers use oxygen, compressed air or ultrasonic power to break up solutions and suspensions into small aerosol droplets that can be directly inhaled from the mouthpiece of the device. The definition of an aerosol is a "mixture of gas and liquid particles," and the best example of a naturally-occurring aerosol is mist, formed when small vaporized water particles mixed with hot ambient air are cooled down and condense into a fine cloud of visible airborne water droplets.

Nebulisers are not some hippy, new age alterenative tool

"Sometimes very sick people or even animals with a lung ailment do better when taking drugs by nebulization as opposed to orally, because then the embattled system doesn’t need to go through breaking down the medications in the stomach and then delivering them to the lungs through the blood stream. With nebulization medicines get sprayed directly onto the lung tissues where they can most easily be absorbed locally by the lung and brachial cells."

Medicines given using a nebulizer:
• Antibiotics: These medicines fight lung infections caused by bacteria. They may before diseases such as cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis. These medicines improve lung function and decrease symptoms.

• Bronchodilators: These medicines stop body reflexes that make your airways smaller, to help you to breathe easier. Their effects may last for 4 to 6 hours (short acting) or for 12 hours (long acting). You may feel that your heart is beating faster or that your hands are shaking after using them. They may blur your vision for a short time or worsen glaucoma if they go to your eyes. Close your mouth when inhaling these medicines to prevent this. Dry mouth, another side effect, can be avoided by rinsing your mouth and spitting out the rinse water.

• Corticosteroids: These drugs decrease the inflammation in your airways. They may help if you often have trouble breathing from a long-term lung disease. You may be instructed to inhale a bronchodilator first before using this medicine to prevent spasm (fast tightening) in your airways. You may get a fungal infection in your mouth when you use this medicine often. Rinse your mouth every time after you use this medicine.

• Prostanoids: These drugs relax blood vessels and increase blood flow and oxygen to damaged areas of the lungs. They are used in those with severe (very bad) lung infection or sudden airway problems.

The first "powered" or pressurized inhaler was invented in France by Sales-Girons in 1858. This device used pressure to atomize the liquid medication. The pump handle is operated like a bicycle pump. When the pump is pulled up, it draws liquid from the reservoir, and upon the force of the user's hand, the liquid is pressurized through an atomizer, to be sprayed out for inhalation near the user's mouth.[4]

I'm a big fan of nebulizing colloidal silver. It gets the silver directly into the bloodstream via the lungs, bypassing the stomach.

Nebulising colloidal silver

Dr. Victor Marcial-Vega is a board-certified oncologist and the director of Health Horizons Rejuvenation Clinic in Coral Gables, Florida.

And we have the prestigious Health Sciences Institute (HSI) to thank for bringing this to our attention.

You see, HSI addressed this very topic in an e-alert to their members, back in October 2001, shortly after the 9-11 terrorist attacks and subsequent anthrax attacks on our nation.

As the HSI pointed out at the time, one of their well-known health symposium panelists, Dr. Marcial-Vega, had discovered while dealing with pneumonia patients the fact that colloidal silver can be quickly and easily carried into the human blood stream and from there into the body's cells and tissues, simply by nebulizing it.

Nebulisation is the breaking down of a liquid into very small droplets, which in the case of medication, can be inhaled and in consequence deposited right into the problem area in the lungs. The advantage of that is that a concentrated amount can be deposited into a targeted area. An option would be to swallow the medication which in turn is absorbed through the gut into the blood and finally to the lungs. The problem with that route is that a much higher dosage would be needed to raise the level of medication in the whole body to achieve a similar result, and many other organs would be medicated.

A nebulizer can administer higher doses of medicine faster than taking it orally or getting a shot. You can also, with your doctor' permission, mix several medications in a nebulizer and take them all at once.

A nebulizer usually consists of parts that make the mist, and a machine to power the nebulizer. The machine may be mechanical or ultrasonic. A mechanical compressor makes mist from liquid medicines using compressed air that passes through a narrow hole. An ultrasonic machine makes very high speed vibrations to create a mist. The mist is made in the nebulizer in a container for the medicine that may be used again. The container or machine may have a valve that controls the flow of air to increase the amount of mist you receive. A mouthpiece or mask connects to the medicine container to bring the mist to your lungs.

Nebulized Bicarbonate

The bronchial secretions during attack of bronchial asthma are acidic and the acidity imparts stickiness to the secretions and moreover there is high level of neuraminic acid, which possibly correlates with the stickiness. Thus sodium bicarbonate is an excellent choice for nebulization offering it’s powerful and instant pH changing effects. Dr. Tullio Simoncini recommends aerosol use of bicarbonate for lung and bronchial adenocarcinoma. He recommends putting 1 soupspoon sodium bicarbonate in ½ liter water and inhaling it with a fast inhaler in half an hour. Six days on six days off when in IV break phases. More

Along with longtime collaborator Nicolas Fasel, PhD, of the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, and other colleagues, Beverley discovered that Leishmania parasites infected with a virus – dubbed Leishmaniavirus – cause significantly worse disease than those without a virus. Other researchers later showed that viruses in related parasites such as Trichomonas, which causes vaginal infections, and potentially Cryptosporidium, which causes diarrhea, also may exacerbate disease.

There is no mystique to nebulisation. Nebulisation for medical treatment has been around for over a century. Not in the present form but the theory was the same. A Dr De Vilbiss during the American Civil War found that swabbing the throat to relieve infection was painful and uncomfortable for the soldiers he was treating. After that war he developed an atomiser similar to the old fashioned scent spray to spray the throat, which was much less painful. One of his sons developed a compressor early in the 1900s and another son incorporated the atomiser nozzle to invent a paint spray for motorcars. The De Vilbiss Corporation, which specialised in compressor manufacture, also developed the nebuliser.

Today we have the modern development of that system. Fine-tuned and more efficient, but basically the same.
