I can't thank you enough for getting rid of my excess phlegm.
A few month ago, I had a chest infection and had to take antibiotics for a week, it cleared up the infection but left me with a lot of phlegm that I could not get rid of, I tried everything on Earth Clinic, Hydrogen peroxide, Oregano Oil, Olive Leaf, Turmeric and nothing shifted it until I read your recent post on the Congestive Heart Failure page to ORH, and I tried your 1/2 Teaspoon of Sea Salt, it was amazing......
..."I'm sorry to hear about your oxygen predicament. A while ago I also had problems with gunk in my lungs. I just followed Ted's advice of taking 1/2 tspn Sea Salt every day. Worked like a charm. No more gunk in my lungs. Nada. Taking sea salt reduces all mucus in the lungs, nose etc. And it gives your body many essential trace minerals as well. I'm also aware that many are afraid to take salt -- even the good sea salt -- because they insist that it's bad for the heart. You know where I stand there. I've been taking sea salt for over 10 years and my heart is always 70/110. So if you've got a healthy kidney and healthy intestines, sea salt should be OK as far as I'm concerned."
Luckily I had some Sea Salt in the pantry and within an hour of taking it, my chest felt 50% better. I have now been taking it each day for 4 days and it has gone and I will keep taking it for another week to make sure it has completely gone.
A big Thank You to Bill and Earth Clinic.

LIZ, ORH here, and you are the beneficiary of advice that was given to me. With my ankles the size of elephants, I hesitated on salt, but you did not. You benefited, while I meditated. You the winner. Today, I did my ionic foot detox, sprayed down with MgCl and got in my near infrared Sauna. Nebulized my Glutathione and am getting by pretty good. Bill, speaks when he needs to and he is one of my favorites.

Can you please tell me what kind of glutathione you use for nebulizing? I have never found the type or a brand that would seem to be right for that. Thank you so much! Hope you are doing well. I love all of your comments 😊

ORH,
I didn't hesitate taking the Salt as I had tried most things to clear it up after 2 month's of hearing my chest rattle, I was amazed how quickly it cleared up, Bill and yourself are my favourites on Earth Clinic, so much to be learned from you both, As we all know, one thing may work for one person and not another person and luckily the Salt worked for me.

For excess phylum and taking sea salt. Do you mix it with water or what? Take it daily?

Yes, distilled water at room temperature is best but you can use filtered water.

Hi Jo,
I took 1/2 teaspoon of Sea Salt in a glass of water once a day, I just used tap water, and it worked within hours and I could feel my chest feeling better. I have now been taking it daily for a week and have now dropped the dosage to 1/4 teaspoon with water each day as my chest is clear of mucus now and just want to make sure it is all cleared up. It's good to hold a conversation now without coughing all the time when talking to someone, I work with the public all day and it was not very good to be talking to them and coughing, especially while COVID is going on.
I must thank Bill for solving my problem.

I was excited to read about sea salting helping with excess mucus/phlegm as I suffer a lot with this especially first thing in the morning. As I had some sea salt I immediately took half a teaspoon with some soup and water. Within a minute I was rushing to the toilet to be violently sick. I didn't then eat until the evening. I so wanted this to work and assume that you shouldn't take it all at once. Please can you clarify how to take this.

I would encourage you to read how to cure the common cold by Walter Last. In it, he explains how some mucus cannot go through the intestinal system and has to come up and out . I guess there is more than one type of mucus. This article I find very long with many links in it and informative. It's always good to have all the information when tackling health issues. Blessings, Charity

Hi Ali,
I took the full 1/2 teaspoon in a glass full of tap water, I took it between meals like mid afternoon or after dinner at night for no particular reason, I just took it between meals and I had no side effects from it at all, it also seems to help my post nasal drip which I have had for years and nothing has really helped it so far. Sorry to hear you were sick after taking it, it worked for me, but as we all know somethings work for some and not others, maybe try it again between meals.
I recently saw an article that EC published on sea salt and curing mucus but could never find the exact amounts of salt, water, lemon juice? It would be wonderful if posters would use the exact amounts of what helped them. You can spend hours on EC and still not find what you want. We all have horrible ailments or we would not be coming to EC and EC should checks these posts out as well. I've been coming to EC since 2012 for mites, pain in joints, vertrabraes gone and EC is wonderful offering us this site but PLEASE POSTERS, BE COMPLETE WHEN OFFERING YOUR INPUT!
Now because I am suffering from enough mucus for 3 people and was delighted to this post from Liz in Australia quoting Bill's comment on using sea salt but still no exact amounts of salt, water,? (anything else) please let me know some better amounts, afraid to take too much of sea salt, HP, cancer, Heart failure, to deal with. Thank you and God Bless this post.

Hi Eve,
Please see my comment under the heading " Sea Salt in water for Mucus Conditions Caused Vomiting, I did not add anything to the 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt except 250mls of tap water and took it between meals, I gave it a stir to dissolve it, and that's all I did, hope it works for you as it did for me.

Hi Cindy,
It was back in November last year, I looked up Ailments and typed in Congestive Heart Failure and scrolled down to OHR'S post and Bill's reply below. I have used the Sea Salt remedy with great results as you can see by my post LIZ.

Hi Cindy from WI -
This might be the post.
Here is a response from Bill (Philippines) to someone called Deb.
https://answers.earthclinic.com/help-needed-for-chronic-mucous-issue.html
- Hi Deb... Regarding your excess phlegm symptoms, this can be reduced by taking 1/4 to 1/2 tspn Sea Salt in water twice a day outside mealtimes. Also, reducing all dairy in the diet will help to reduce your mucus. When I also had problems with phlegm, taking lugol's iodine orally helped tremendously to reduce my own phlegm build ups. Iodine is necessary and is used and secreted in every mucus gland in the human body and is used as a first line of defense against outside pathogens entering the body. Thus, with proper levels of iodine/iodide in the body, mucus will more fully help to defend your body and the mucus levels will also tend to reduce. A 2% lugols solution dosage that you need would be at least 8 drops (more if you can take it) in split dosages every day.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Tessa

Hi Angela,
To nebulize glutathione, buy Glutathione Plus capsules made by Theranaturals. They are buffered for nebulizing. I mix one capsule in a vial of sodium chloride water and nebulize with it once a day. It helps me with airway clearance also.

Hi,
I suffer with EXCESSIVE mucus/phlegm and have tried everything under the heavens, including AVC (which helps some); however, I expel huge wads of mucus (sorry to be so graphic, but it's horrible) upon waking every morning without fail and it drains and collects from my right mucus cavity and can continue for HOURS...and that's no exaggeration! Please confirm if the "sea salt" is to be taken with or without water. How much water is recommended and what time of day is best? I'm really desperate for ways to help myself return to a life without CHRONIC mucus.
P.S. I've recently eliminated breads, pastas, tomatoes, breads, dairy and cut back on white sugar.
Thank you in advance for your response!

Hi Phyllis, I have used this remedy many times with great success. I use 1/2 teaspoon of Sea Salt and add to 1 cup (250ml ) of warm water, I make it warm enough to dissolve the crystals and not to hot to drink when crystals are dissolved, I stir up the crystal with a spoon to dissolve if I am in a hurry.
A word of warning, do not drink it straight down all at once as you will vomit, sip slowly over 5 to 10 min, I usually notice within 1 hour it has dried up most of the phlegm and I will take it up too 3 times a day if I have bronchitis, I usually take it between meals as it seems to work better rather than with meals.

Phyllis, a family member got rid of a similar condition by breathing in the vapor of a half a cup of boiling water with a spritz of h2o2 in it. He did it twice a day, expelling lots of stuff until he noticed relief. Then he went down to once a day, and now just once in a while for maintenance.
Sea Salt in Water, Peroxide Nebulizing
★★★★★
It really depends on how deep-seated the phlegm is in your lungs. I had similar problems after covid-19, but my phlegm always gathered in my throat and bronchial area, which I was always clearing. To waste no time, I will immediately describe what helped to resolve my own phlegm predicament that was so similar to yours.
The first thing that I would recommend is Ted from Bangkok's old remedy for reducing phlegm in the chest/throat regions. This is a simple but effective remedy: Every morning, on an empty stomach, you should supplement a half teaspoon of sea salt in a glass of water then immediately drink another glass of water afterwards. The extra salt in the blood will automatically act to pull out and reduce any excess liquid phlegm from the nasal passages, from the throat/bronchials region and form the intestines.
The second worthwhile protocol that I would suggest for you is that you buy a standard nebulizer(not the small hand held type -- the larger one with a proper nose/mouth mask) and just nebulize a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution for 15 to 20 minutes twice a day. I normally just use a proper portable medical nebulizer and I use store bought 3% hydrogen peroxide(HP) but would not recommend that you use 3% HP strength since some people can be sensitive to nebulizing 3% hydrogen peroxide right off the bat. Using the proper medical nebulizer with a full mask is a must and is particularly useful because not only will it help disinfect the lungs and nasal passages but it will also kill any bacteria/fungi/viruses that tend to hide or breed in the large nasopharanx cavity(NPC) area that is situated directly behind the nose, thereby causing a build up of phlegm in the NPC which, I have found, always constantly drips that mucus from the upper NPC region onto the throat and bronchial regions(especially at night! ), thus causing continual clearance problems. I found that using a nebulizer with hydrogen peroxide was the most effective for disinfecting ALL affected regions, including the lungs, throat, nose and NPC. After all, if all these regions continually contain excess mucus, this, perhaps, would indicate an untreated and infected region that definitely needs disinfection and clearance.
You could also perhaps use a simple neti pot with 1% saline to help clear the nose and nasopharanx regions of phlegm.
And, particularly for the lungs, I would supplement all the B vitamins and supplement regular daily doses of N-Acetylcysteine(600 mg twice a day), Selenium(200 mcg once or twice a day) and Resveratrol(500mg twice a day) -- always taken at mealtimes.
SSKI
★★★★★
Google "potassium iodide" and look through references until you find one mentioning Tahoma Clinic. Pull this one up to read Dr. Jonathan Wright's article about SSKI (saturated solution of potassium iodide).
Since it has many different uses (including one that Dr. Wright didn't mention of using 2 drops of SSKI or Lugol's solution daily to aid your stomach in producing hydrochloric acid to digest your food), I suggest that you print this article to keep on hand for ready reference. I found it to be quite useful in liquefying secretions in the lungs and head to aid in getting them out more easily.
Also, please remember to not dilute your Lugol's or SSKI in chlorinated water to avoid the chemical reaction converting your potassium iodide back into iodine!

Joyce, I have recently found a hair remedy solution that has Iodine in it. I have been religiously taking it and my hair, skin and nails have been changed to the point that I am extremely excited! I am telling everyone about it! However, it has not helped the mucous situation. It has been a year that I have had this. I have tried Edgar Cayce remedies, which I am a HUGE believer in, and Chiropractic, to name a few! I am also a Body Alignment Technique practitioner and have used that to try and solve my problem with no luck! This has definitely been a problem for me for the past year. Is there any other remedy that you or Ted could suggest? I would try just about anything to rid myself of this condition!
Stinging Nettles
★★★★★
Have you tried Stinging Nettle Leaf? It is considered a natural antihistamine. I take capsule form which really helps with post nasal drip or runny nose. A good brand is one by Wild Harvest. I always carry some in person because it's great for cold/allergy symptoms! I hope this helps you.
Turmeric
★★★★★
I have to say turmeric is one of the herbs that I dislike the most, I don't like the way it smells, tastes and it pretty much discolors everything. However, it's a miracle cure for many ailments.
Here's how I take turmeric:
Heat up 1/4 cup of water.
Add 1/2 teaspoon or more turmeric powder,
A few drops of coconut oil or any type of oil that you prefer
A pinch of cayenne pepper, skip it if not available.
The point is to dissolve the turmeric in the water, they say turmeric works best in oil or milk since I do not always have milk in the fridge so I always use oil. I found this basically out of desperation because prior to that, I tried everything: antibiotics, garlic, salt water, daikon radish...nothing helped.
I drank this turmeric mixture before bedtime and was able to sleep really well without having my nose and throat plugged up. I think ginger may work the same way since turmeric and ginger are in the same plant family.
If I have fresh ginger on hand, I would just basically chop it up real fine and take it with a big glass of water.
Three of the things I always have in my pantry: turmeric, ginger and garlic. I take garlic for cold and sinus, remmeber to buy fresh garlic grown in the US and not the cheap stuff from China.
I cannot emphasize enough that nature does provide almost every cure you need for most ailments, the only issue is whether you are aware of it or not.

I will try this remedy. I have post nasal drip which as a side effect gives me bad breath.
Thank you.
