Just guessing, but I would assume the approach should be a combination
of cleansing and anti-inflammatories.  For cleansing, maybe stuff like
chlorophyllin, pectin fiber, charcoal, and/or bentonite clay along
liver boosters such as lecithin, dandelion, silybin, licorice, maitake,
etc.  For anti-inflammatories, perhaps, msm, vitamin c, quercetin,
turmeric, luteolin, and/or r-lipoic acid.

I wonder which antioxidants would give the best protection from fine
particles caused by the fires?

Hi Juhana,

Here is a good review abstract on the subject:

   Several lung diseases have been associated with oxidative stress
and linked to oxidant insults such as cigarette smoke, air pollutants
and infections. Consequently, dietary factors and nutrients with a
potential protective role in the oxidative process and inflammatory
response have been implicated in the genesis or evolution of these
diseases. These nutrients include fruits and vegetables, antioxidant
vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin E, betacarotene and other
carotenoids, vitamin A, fatty acids and some minerals such as sodium,
magnesium and selenium. This article reviews the potential mechanisms
by which dietary factors may affect respiratory health, and discusses
epidemiological evidence for the link between diet and lung diseases.
Most of the available evidence on the effect of dietary factors on the
risk for obstructive lung diseases are derived from cross-sectional
studies. These studies suggest that antioxidant vitamins, particularly
vitamin C, and to a lesser extent other antioxidants, have a protective
effect against lung diseases. However, the few intervention studies
have not been conclusive. High intake of fresh fruit and some
vegetables appears to have a beneficial effect on lung health and their
consumption should be recommended on a daily basis. Supplementation of
vitamin C and other antioxidants could be proposed in subjects with
additional oxidative stress challenge, such as exposure to high levels
of air pollution. Subjects with impaired immune response could also
benefit from vitamin A and zinc supplementation. Further studies are
needed to determine the impact of diet on the incidence and evolution
of lung diseases.
