Sarcoidosis is the development of tiny clumps of inflamed tissue.
It is a degenerative disease that affects the glands, the inner and outer skin, and the lymphatic system. It is most commonly found in the lungs, spleen, liver, eyes, skin, mucous membranes, and salivary glands.
Causes and Risk Factors
The exact cause of sarcoidosis is unknown, however experts believe it may be caused by:
- Unbalanced diet
- Bacterial exposure
- Viruses
- Chemical exposure
- Polluted dust exposure
- Genetics
Symptoms
Symptoms vary depending on where the sarcoids appear. In general, people with sarcoidosis may feel:
- Feverish
- Fatigued
- Weight loss
- Swollen lymph nodes

Alkalizing baths consisting of sea salt (one whole box or package added to the water) proves very therapeutic in cases of sarcoidosis.
Putting more oxygen into the body via ozone or oxygen baths and/or liquid oxygen drops would also help to cleanse and alkalize the body, greatly enhancing the natural healing effect of the body.
Dietary Intervention
Sarcoidosis can be improved by modifying the diet. Meat, dairy and simple starches should be greatly reduced if not outright eliminated from the diet.
Junk foods (refined grains/pastries, soda pop, candy and chocolate, processed food stuffs, coffee, alcohol and beer, etc.) should be entirely eliminated.
People suffering from sarcoidosis would be amazed at what happens by converting to a mostly vegan-vegetarian diet and consuming vast amounts of green foods (green, leafy vegetables) and fruit helps alkalize the body.
