Provided are compositions and methods for treating
lung or respiratory disorders or conditions characterized by
airflow obstruction or limitation, or symptoms thereof (e g,
asthma, rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (CaPO) and CaPO-associated conditions (e g,
bronchitis, emphysema,
asthma), emphysema, pneumonia,
bronchitis, in-fluenza, SARS,
tuberculosis, and
whooping cough (pertussis), and the like) comprising administering a therapeutic composition comprising at least one electrokinetically altered fluid comprising an ionic
aqueous solution of charge-stabilized
oxygen containing nanostructures as disclosed herein, or comprising administering a nonelectrokinetic superoxygenated
aqueous solution The methods preferably comprise regulating
intracellular signal transduction by modulation of at least one of cellular membranes,
membrane potential, membrane proteins (e g, membrane receptors, (e g,
G protein-coupled receptors, and intercellular junctions)) Additional aspects include therapeutic compositions, and combination treatment methods comprising administration of electrokinetically generated fluid in combination with at least one additional therapeutic agent (e g, albuterol, etc).
