Garlic Syrup (Simplified Recipe) – From Advanced Treatise in Herbology (1978), by Dr. Edward Shook page 63.
- 1 pound fresh garlic, minced
- apple cider vinegar (I make mine with 40% vodka)
- water
- honey
Instructions:
– Put minced garlic in a quart mason jar.
– Add equal parts vinegar and water 1:1 ratio enough to just cover the garlic.
– Put on the lid and shake well. (Note: ACV will corrode the metal lid, put a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap over jar lid before placing lid on).
– Let sit for 4 days (shaking once every day), then strain.
Now add:
3 pounds honey
Internally:
1 tablespoon 3-4 x a day adults.
1 teaspoon, 3-4 x a day for children.

DOSE:
For asthma and coughs: 1 teaspoonful with or without water every 15 minutes until spasm is controlled; then 1 teaspoonful every 2 or 3 hours for the rest of the day. After that, 1 teaspoonful 3 or 4 times a day, is usually sufficient.
For tuberculosis, cardiac asthma and dyspnoea (shortness of breath): 1 dessertspoonful to a tablespoonful 3 or 4 times a day between meals.
Children: (8 to 15 years) one half of the above dose; (5 to 8 years) one quarter dose; (from 1 to 4 years) one eighth in a little water or honey.
Garlic has also been used successfully in dropsy. The above formula may be used with benefit, but the following will be found to be much more prompt and effective, especially where the heart is much involved.
Black Seed Oil
How often and how much do you take of the Black seed oil. Can you put it in tea or smoothie?

H2O2 Inhalation Therapy
I've given myself an asthma attack a couple of times while doing a nebulizer treatment through my mouth. When you do that, the amount of carbon dioxide in your system drops, which contracts and constricts your bronchial tubes. (see Buteyko method for a thorough explanation on how this mechanism works)
So your issue may not be with the hydrogen peroxide, but with keeping your mouth open during the treatment which triggers the lowering of carbon dioxide and the immediate constriction of your bronchial tubes.
Wish you the best of luck in discovering how to improve your asthma.

Milk Kefir
★★★★★
This evening, I was coughing relentlessly and then realised I had forgotten to take my kefir today. Accordingly, I immediately took my kefir, and my coughing eased considerably.
Within 5 minutes, my cough was gone. What a miracle!
I drink 1 cup unsweetened milk kefir per day.

Frankincense or Myrrh Oil Inhalation
★★★★★
In a practical inquiry into disordered respiration, first published in 1797, Bree noted that historically many physicians, from Hippocrates onwards, had recommended inhaling vapours from frankincense, myrrh and various gums in order to treat both asthma and phthisis (pulmonary tuberculosis or a similar progressive systemic disease).27

Recently, to better my health, I eliminated processed sugar, and my asthma completely disappeared! I didn't need my inhaler any more! Shocking! After looking it up, I found medical resources stating that sugar is inflammatory and contributes to asthma. They were right!!! Now, to keep up with no processed sugar ;) (or rarely having sugar)

Just try don't give up. Astma can heal.

The thing that seems to have helped me the most is N-acetyl-L-cysteine (N-A-C) Some sources say asthma is a glutathione deficiency. I still have breathing issues similar to asthma from asbestosis & COPD. But I hardly ever have serious breathing issues unless I have a COPD exacerbation. N-A-C is pretty inexpensive, I paid $13 for 600 capsules, 600mg ea.
I usually buy 3 bottles at a time, shipping was $6. That was at ilifeline DOT com.
N-A-C is very inportant for glutithione production so I take 2 caps twice daily. In my case some amino acids are helpful, including l-glycine.
I'm 67 & it seems my digestion is off so I take Super Enzymes, Dr. Berg's Gallbladder Support, Ox Bile & Tudca. I should add that not eating sugar or anything the body converts to sugar, & especially processed foods is very important, I eat keto, very low carb & I fast so I've lost ~100lb net.
These things helped me, especially the N-A-C, so I wanted to share. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

Hydrogen Peroxide
★★★★★
Many use 3% in a mister, & spray that into the mouth several times *while* taking a deep breath.
(Tried *that* but instantly began coughing ea time.)
Then I tried spraying 3% H2O2 into my mouth, allowing it to bubble / release oxygen in there *while* I carefully take deep breaths through those bubbles & into my lungs (leaving the bubbles in my mouth), then breathing out through my nose ...
Repeat IN thru the mouth, OUT thru the nose ... until the bubbles stop forming from the release of oxygen from the water & into a gas ... Then spray more in if you want to continue the treatment.
It seems I experience the same benefits reported by those who actually inhale the mist of 3% H2O2.
(When I developed a very strong bout of vertigo [unable to walk as everything appeared to be constantly spinning around the room] with Covid-19 [I also had a mild fever, short & rapid breathing, loss of energy] ... I sprayed it directly in my ear & let it bubble in there while my husband tucked me in, & I fast fell asleep.... 3 hours later I woke up with ZERO symptoms! )
Dietary Changes

The No Starch Diet is comparable to Paleo, but a bit stricter:
- No grains
- No dairy
- No legumes, potatoes, yams as all are starchy
- Yes: meat, fish
- Yes: walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, brazil nuts ..
- Yes: carrots, cauliflower, cucumber, lettuce, tomato
- Yes: most fruit .. except no to banana and stone fruits
After eating Natto (Japanese cultured soy beans) I was able to resume eating starchy foods without the asthma recurring (except curiously have to avoid peanuts, and not too much cheese). Only in extreme conditions did the asthma return eg a cold causing me to cough a lot and then maybe some asthma until the cold abated.

Dietary Changes
MSM
★★★★★
Some side effects which I consider to be cleansing symptoms: nausea, sleeplessness and skin breakouts, but I did start on a high dose of 20 grams a day. After three weeks no more 'side effects'.
My energy has greatly increased, I feel quite euphoric every day now. The only time I had that kind of euphoria was by drinking three glasses of organic green juices a day. I think people on heavy medications, mercury fillings, toxic diet are going to have more difficulties with it, so building up from a small dose with extra vitamin C and plenty of pure water will help.
The other supplement that really helps is Vitamin D3, I take 16,000iu liquid daily, no colds for two years now and my chronic bronchitis of 20 years has disappeared. Some years it was mild others, severe triggering serious asthma attacks. So the combination of Vitamin and MSM has been miraculous for me. This great website encouraged me to try MSM. Thanks so much.
p.s. Brushing my teeth with MSM has whitened them.
Turmeric
★★★★★
Me personally, I usually take one teaspoon of turmeric powder, mixed with water + add a pinch of black pepper for better absorption. It helps, it really does. But I never used it for a long time treatment cause, honestly, it tastes horrible. But it's natural and has possibly no side effects. I would recommend reading more about it for those who want to try it, it's not supposed to be over-used, just be informed.
