Modern Taoist · Medical Prophet 【Dao Yi】 on Asthma
Did you know? It’s not just smoking or second-hand smoke that causes asthma and COPD—you’d never guess that even chewing gum can! What! This is 【cold knowledge】, not a cold joke! Yes, long-term gum-chewing is more than just 【dry mouth and throat】, adenoid hypertrophy, or swollen, inflamed airways. Once the 【moisture】 protection of the nasal and oral mucosa is lost, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and dust march straight in, leading to tonsillitis, pharyngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis, pneumonia. If the treatment is off the mark and the root cause isn’t fixed, and you instead reach for antibiotics, steroids, or antihistamines, it turns into chronic tracheitis, 【chronic bronchitis】, that is, 【COPD】, or asthma. Because the 【mint】 in gum is cold and the 【sugar】 breeds bacteria and toxins, the throat becomes colder and more toxic day by day. Ten percent of gum addicts even progress to 【throat cancer】.
Main ingredients of chewing gum: 【rubber】, resin, gum base, sweeteners, artificial sweeteners (sugar substitutes), artificial colors, artificial flavors, preservatives (stabilizers), plasticizers—almost all chemicals, some outright 【chemical toxins】.
Among them, butyl rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber are raw materials for car tires. The gum base contains solid paraffin, polyvinyl acetate (carpenter’s glue), and talc. What you chew, including the plasticizers, isn’t food at all—they’re 【petroleum】 derivatives that cause bloating, gut flora imbalance, allergies, headaches, dementia, cancer.
Among them, titanium dioxide, calcium phosphate, whitening agents directly trigger asthma and autoimmune diseases.
Among them, BHT, butylated hydroxytoluene, a preservative, is carcinogenic, causes hyperactivity, damages liver and kidneys, and is a deep-seated cause of asthma and COPD.
Among them, artificial colors and flavors clog capillaries, hinder peripheral blood circulation, injure the kidneys, and are deep-seated causes of asthma and COPD.
Among them, artificial sweeteners cause diarrhea, indigestion, and are one of the allergens behind 【leaky gut】, which is asthma’s 【sister disease】.
Sugary gum leads to tooth decay, cavities, fillings.
Sugar-free gum contains acidic substances that corrode and damage oral mucosa and tooth enamel.
Fillings in repaired teeth often contain silver-mercury amalgam; chewing gum releases mercury vapor, causing poisoning, asthma, and lung cancer.
The safest resin is natural rubber, yet the body still can’t digest or absorb it. Sadly, for cost reasons, almost every gum maker nowadays replaces it with 【petrochemical products】. The gum you chew, the plastic slippers you wear, the gasoline you pump, and the asphalt paving the road all come from the same source: petroleum.
So, what you’re 【chewing to pieces】 isn’t that tiny piece of 【gum】, but your fragile 【immunity】.
Taoist 【prophet】, scientific 【Five Elements】. 【Expose】 the truth, 【eradicate】 asthma.
