My mom developed severe allergies and asthma in her late 40s. It started off mild and got severe. She started getting bronchitis and antibiotics would only help a little, but not get rid of it completly. Then she would get it again. My mom is stubborn and does not like to go to the hospital. One night she scared me, because she was wheezing and gasping for breath. Her nose was running and even though she found out she was alergic to cats that triggered her asthma she loved our cat so much that she wouldn't ever get rid of him. We also couldn't afford 200 dollars every month for meds.

I didn't know what to do I went on earth clinic, because of all the times it has helped me, but we didn't have any ingredients except apple cider vinegar on hand. I tried to get my mom to drink some with water. But she kept refusing, because she hates vinagar. I began searching all over the web desperatly. I was afraid I was going to lose my mom if I didn't. I had gone to a site and found a lady with a similar story. She said to take 12 drops of thieves Essential Oil Blend which has in it- (clove, lemon, cinnamon bark, Rosemary cineol, Eucalyptus Radiata, 6 drops of oregano Essential Oil and 2 drops of Frankincense Essential Oil and place in a "00" capsule and it makes a natural antibiotic that works on almost everything. It has to be theraputic grade or it would hurt you. It also said not to take it in pill form if you are pregnant and not to use the pills on children. I put the name theives, because they are the only people that make that particular blend. She also said it showed it to have a 99.96% success rate against airborne bacteria. The bacteria cultures were sprayed in an enclosed area, and Thieves essential oil blend was diffused for a given amount of time. After only 10 minutes of exposure, there was a reduction of 82% in Micrococcus luteus, 96% in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 44% in Staphylococcus aureus. Coincidentally I had accidentally bought the Theives essential oil blend when trying to buy a different oil awhile back. I did not have a 00 capsule either and this was an emergency, so I had to think outside the box. I knew asthma is caused by bacteria that embeds itself deep into the lungs. I had my mom take a steaming hot rag and told her to put about 12 drops on the rag and to put it on her chest. Also told her to keep sniffing the bottle. She hadn't been able to sleep for a long time and she fell into a deep sleep for about 45 minutes. When she woke up there was no more wheezing or noises in her chest and she could talk normally. I was in shock. After this she did the same thing two nights in a row or whenever she starts to have an attack or get bronchitis and it works everytime. Thank God! There is also another treatment thats natural that I would like to try with her. I found it that night when I was searching. Apparently people who have asthma, allergies, snoring problems or any other lung problems do really well when they go to salt mines, because the salt kills bacteria and other stuff. CNN did a special on it and people overseas started making spas where the floor, ceiling and everything is covered in salt. You can watch the video on youtube just type in CNN Vital Signs - Salt Cave London. They also made a machine that you add salt and water to and it puts the salty moisture in whatever room you would like to put it in and its not expensive. I think the name of the machine is breath free. It's called in home salt therapy. It also has a salt inhaler.


Iodine

After an asbestos exposure 18 years ago I was afraid I might never be 100% well. However, Faith without works is dead and Jesus directed me to many Earth Clinic cures! I am SO THANKFUL for this site! Nonetheless, it is shocking to me that iodine receives little widespread respect. This was such a famous remedy for many decades that physicians had a rhyme for it, "If ye don't know where, what, and why. Prescribe ye then K and I. (potassium iodide).

Start low. There can be a detox of (dangerous) halides. Maybe just 2 mgs to start. But this is nearly a supernatural remedy. The change in 6 weeks can be staggering. I don't say that lightly, I am 64 and very in tune with my body.

I have gone from years-long infection to freedom. I am currently at about 75mgs/daily. That sounds like a lot, but prior to antibiotics, extreme cases ie. syphilis/cancer got up to 2000mgs.

I wish I could make a nicer post about this but I feel it is important to post this now for someone to hear.

Lynne Farrow's book The Iodine Crisis brings much liberty. There is much disinformation out there.

As a former welder, I know about the danger from working on galvanized metal and aluminum dust, so your recovery from that alone is even more impressive. The other hazards made it even worse. I too use the Hydrogen Peroxide protocol from EC with great success. Be well everyone.

Saline Solution for Inhalation - 100 per box, 5 ml units for $17 on Amazon

  • 0.9% Saline Solution for Inhalation
  • 5 ml unit dose
  • Can be used for respiratory treatments, sinus irrigation and eye care
  • Sterile

If inhaling into lungs; you should not use distilled water; use a sterile saline solution made for inhaling.

5 ml of saline and 5 drops of Hydrogen Peroxide 3% should not burn; if so add more saline to dilute the hydrogen peroxide. When you do well on that amount; try and add a few more drops of hydrogen peroxide. I use 3 ml of saline with 8 drops of hydrogen peroxide. I do it as preventative measures to keep infection and anything else away. I nebulize once per week. Make sure your mask covers your nose and mouth. Breathe through your nose; and exhale out your mouth. I do this for about 10-12 minutes each time. Read about Dr. David Brownstein's research on Hydrogen Peroxide nebulizing.

Dear Josie,

What you are doing sounds good! You say you are breathing a little bit better - yay! You are moving in the right direction. Perhaps it will take some time for the remedies to heal you completely.

Yes, the garlic smell is the downfall of the remedy. But if you can stick with it, since you are improving, I would continue. for at least another week or two, maybe longer. I have a petite daughter who took 3 cloves a day for an infection, so I think it is okay to take that much if it seems to agree with you.

I have been reading Earth Clinic's cayenne pepper pages. They are fascinating. I am wondering if a bit of cayenne would help. It helps some people with energy. I think it helps to get oxygen and nutrients to cells. You could just try sprinkling a little on your food and see how you do.

Regarding the Vitamin C, you are definitely not overdoing it. Your body will tell you if you are (your body will get rid of it quickly, as in diarrhea.) Likely you could increase it quite a bit even. When I am sick, I take 15,000mg (15 grams) a day with no problem. The easiest/cheapest way at that point is to use Ascorbic Acid and baking soda to make your own sodium ascorbate. (1/4 teaspoon ascorbic acid plus 1/8th teaspoon baking soda. That is about a 1,000mg dose.)

Oh, and you might look into castor oil packs on this site. Castor Oil is reputed to dissolve scar tissue. It has worked so well for anything we have used it for. You could try castor oil packs on your back over the lung area. Just a thought.

Keep me posted!

I have lung scarring as a result of hypersensitivity to unknown substance. My scars have not worsened in 2 years. I have recently started taking coconut oil for general health, but I have noticed a change in my breathing. No more wheezing. I do have more energy, and I don't get short of breath as easily. Could the organic CO be improving my lung function.? I am interested in hearing anyone who who has had similar effects.

Too bad that product names are deleted, I was getting pneumonia last year and went to the health food store to see if they could help me, they recommended a product that oxygenates the system, I started taking it that day and was back to work within 3 days, I still use it because of my job, I work at high alltitudes, and when I feel like I may be trying to catch something I just dose myself up with it, because you can't O.D. on it and it pretty much knocks it out. It's not peroxide. it's oxygenated minerals, enzymes and plant sourced amino acids. I also gave it to a firefighter that was having trouble breathing after a run, it helped him within just a few minutes. The man in the health food store said that he'd seen people come off of oxygen with it. I believe him and cannot recommend it enough to people with lung conditions. You go thru a bit of a detox with it, but isn't that the point?

Lung Congestion

After recovering from pneumonia, I continued to have chronic lung congestion. Coincidentally, my son in Texas mentioned a salsa recipe he'd made and suggested I give it a try. He insisted I use fresh cilantro for superior taste. Well, within 5 minutes of making and sampling the salsa, I coughed up an enormous amount of thick phlegm and breathed easier for the rest of the night. By morning, some sleep congestion returned. I made eggs, and since I had fresh cilantro left over from the salsa, I put it on the eggs. Once again, the congestion cleared, with lots of phlegm purged. All within 5-10 minutes of eating the cilantro.

Thinking maybe I had imagined the results, I went a week without trying the cilantro again. The congestion came back. I ate cilantro again, and the phlegm cleared again. I've repeated that test many times since then, and each time cilantro has proven to be my hero. My aunt, who has emphysema (COPD), tried it and got similar good results.
My lung doctor, originally from India, swears by cilantro (and coriander, which includes the whole plant, not just the leaves). The last time I went for a checkup, he declared that my lungs were completely clear and told me to keep eating cilantro.

So now I cook with cilantro several times a week, no matter what. And whenever I travel, I take a small bottle of dried cilantro to sprinkle on my food.

HI U JOSIE, , , , , , , , , , , , , , when I first read about how Bill Munro first used H2O2 by inhaling it through his mouth, I used the 3 % as he suggested and it worked. A few years ago I decided to use a nebulizer instead and still used the 3 %. Wrong thing for me to do, it burned as you say. I now use H2O2 at 1 1/2% in my nebulizer and it works for me.

In Dr Shellanberger's latest health letter, he touts that an Ozone Sauna will greatly increase the TBARS in your blood and that is a measurement of the amount of peroxides. He and Dr Robert Rowan are my idols, but it seems to me that if our hero, Bill Munro, can cure 2 cancers in the crude fashion that he did, then using a nebulizer is the cat's meow. As I get it, what you are trying to do is increase the peroxides in your blood. We all know that our white carpusals make H2O2 to attack foreign critters. You just helping them along.

That is the reason they are trying to ban H2O2 in Gt Britain .........too many folks self medicating.

With the IMF meeting in Oct to declare the Chinese Yuan is now a reserve currency, then I suggest you have a case of H2O2 in a cool place when the ship hits the sand. Life is fixing to get very interesting and trying to see a doctor will be a joke. We going back to my PawPaw's days and he was born in the 1890's.

Hi Josie,

I can see how hard you are, in trying to help yourself and I think that is great. I wondered if you have seen JACKS TEA FORMULA??? Many tried it and said it worked wonders for them. I had most of the items but not Hyssop. You would need MULLEIN LEAF HERB, HYSSOP HERB SMALL AMOUNT, SMALL AMOUNT OF LOBELIA LEAF, ORGANIC HONEY, 2 TEASPOONS CAYENNE PEPPER AND I THINK ITS A TEASPOON OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR.

JACK IS FROM TOLEDO, OHIO AND PUT HIS TEA RECIPE ON HERE ONE DAY, ROUND ABOUT 2006 OR 2008. It is a bit difficult to follow for some because one was for seed pods which some people, like me, couldnt get. Someone made the recipe easier, as above, so should be easy to make. PUT WHERE IS SAYS SEARCH EARTH CLINIC JACKS TEA FORMULA INSTRUCTIONS, then go down a bit to find the easier way to make it, and you can make it with smaller items. Very easy and simple to make if you follow the alternative recipe. Everyone was so grateful to Jack. I would love him to appear again? Havent heard from him in a long time. I hope he is still around somewhere. Good luck, and hope you are better. Best wishes Rosina x

Please can someone help. I have badly congested lungs, I am a smoker and will address this once I feel physically somewhat better - I have thyroid problems too which affect your mental state, motivation and so on. I have a nebuliser and have used FGHP and colloidal silver, neither of which has made any difference at all. I have bought some DMSO but have no idea whatsoever how to use it and I am also a bit worried about the smell. Will this help? Is there anything else I can try? I now have a cold which is making it worse.

I am at the end of my tether. Please can someone suggest something. Linda

Dear Earthclinic, First I want to thank you for your existance. I've been frequently on it last 4, 5 months and has helped me a great deal, but not fully. This is why I want to contribute with my story. Writing you for the first time;-)

So last august, the day I decided to drive back home to Netherlands from Croatia (on holiday) I got sick. The same second we made desicion to go back home I got pain in my chest. A panic started to take over me, but I could reduce it and drive back home. Btw I have a baby and it was first time on holiday with the baby. And it was a looot of stress. Before that holiday my house was beeing rebuild, so my whole year was in a great stress. Any how I came back home safe and still alive. Did I mentioned I had a panic attack and was thinking I was going to dye? (or however u spell that). So after a few days situation got worse and I went to doctor. They told me I was in stress and send me back home. It didnt help offcourse. So after a few Dr. appointments they found out I had a reflux. Gave me some pills. They helped for 3 days and stoped helping again.

That is when I discovered your website. Started drinking apple cider and bicarb. Helped a lot to lose the pain in chest. But I also had pain in left arm, chin, back, alergies, and probably few more, but cant remember. The panic attacks where frequent and always on friday 6pm when Dr. is closed. So Apple Cider Vinegar helped a lot for pain in my chest, and lot of other problems I didnt ven know I had. I also didnt think any more I was gong to have a heart attack. But then my nipple started to burn. I was walking with it for a month and a half, went to Dr. went to check on it and it was luckly all ok. The same time I started to use magnesium. And somehow the fears went for a great deal away. They where still there but not as much as it was. I still had panic attacks but I could somehow get them under controll quiet quick. But in meanwhile while some problems where gone other came. Then one would leave and one would come back. In meanwhile I had a big scala of problems. So execive burping, back pain, headache, arms feeling slow and not eough circulation, then a flew or a virus got me so my throut was feeling good and bad off and on. All that didnt help me to start losing my stress, (since my house is finished in meanwhile so I should be able to destress). But all them diseaes didnt help. By now, via your website, I have learned to recognize the problem and deal with it in a quick way. Now I know when to take acv, when bicarb or just salt water, or magnesium. But all this has helped a great deal, lets say 80% but didnt helped to get rid of it.

Then I went to a long weekend on holiday to germany. Arround that time I also started to breath deeper from my stomach instead of my upper lungs. I heard all kind of noises from my stomach every time I breath through it. I continued doing it as long as I could. I also walked outside a lot and ate a lot. I finaly started gaining waight as well and was feeling a lot better. Then I came back home and same problems came back. So I thought wtf was it, that helped. First I though walking outside. So I went out every day and that also helped a lot. but was still there.

now lets go back to my 13th. I then for first time had a speach problem. It came from nowhere when I was shouting for my mother to come outside. I called her and it came out of my throught as ma--ma. That was strange but hej f. It. So that never went away. It stayed with me untill today. There was a period in my life when it was quiet well under controll, that was when I had peace and good life (still have it btw;-). but then when I got sick it came back, just as bad as it was.

then I stared connecting the dotts. I looked closer to myself and though of my speach problem. I figured out my dyaphragm was in a total crunch, and I needed to relax it. When I relax it I feel good, when it's in crunch I feel agony. Because I went to logopedie some years ago I remembered what she told me. BREATH. That was all. So I went online and look for yoga breath techinques. Started imediatly with practice. then I went online and found this.

Buteyko method
The russian lung Dr. figured out that modern human breath too much air. And when we get sick we breat from our lungs and not our dyaphragm. We take too much air what results in losing too much co2. That in turn brings all the moder problems with it. He basicly say breath from your stomach, BREATH LESS, and take longer pauses after you breath out. Take a pause and breath in. As longer your pause is as healthier you are. You can do a test on how helthy you are. take a look at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhK549uGvhc

any now I stared his techinque (just read some stuff on internet and didnt follow any courses) just beeing aware of my pauses in between the breath. And it f. worked a miricale. All my simptoms incl. Agony went away the same day. I am now 4th day and get this even my speach is starting to lower. It is not gone but it's only been a few days. Went to Dr. She told me, all I said souns very logical, but since she has never had any patient like this before. She had to look up in her books. I will hear from her tomorow I guess. But for first time in all these months I actually feel great and clear in my head and in my body. So pls. take a look at this buteyko theory, try it and I am sure you too will be blown away. It's for free so it must work;-)

they claim a lot of modern sickneses are coming from upper breathing, like astma, copd, mental problems, back, heart... Dont know all the details myself but take a look. It's probably next acv;-)

love you all, Indira

Look up above and read the post titled h2o2 inhalation for lung cancer. I actually wrote my reply to a person I believed had copd chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. Since you have only one lung from accident? or from illness? you need to keep yourself in top shape lung wise. That post will give you 99.9 percent of what you need to learn.

Now let's say copd is not your issue. Let's say your lungs are more or less normal. Well the same therapy still applies. Even in a normal average persons lungs biofilm formation can be a real problem reducing airspace.bIofilm a thick gooey mucus traps heavy metals and other contaminants like glue. Biofilm is created by the bacteria, virus and fungus to be a safe haven from the immune system. often more than 500 species are found there. When biofilm forming germs are free floating in the blood they are called planktonic bacteria. These dummies get easily killed by antibiotics in a hurry. Now smart germs when they detect presence of an antibiotic they quickly go hide in biofilm. The immune system cells meet a great big "keep out! do not disturb" sign posted outside the biofilm. Meanwhile the germs are partying and getting busy breeding like crazy. some very sophisticated germs have even developed a pump mechanism to get rid of unwanted antibiotics from their slimy little fortress.

Biofilm dwelling organisms have up to 1000 fold greater resistance to antibiotics. Ever heard of drug resistant organisms?

Lung cancer loves biofilm with all the nice mercury heavy metals and toxins cancer cells really like. Cancer cells feel right at home there in their oxygen deprived micro environment. Cancer depends on biofilm for disease progression.

When it comes to party crashers, serrapeptase is a very unwelcome guest for biofilm dwelling germs. It kicks the doors down and breaks the structure of their biofilm. serrapeptase literally dissolves biofilm through enzyme action. With no place to hide germs come face to face with big mac and boy is he ever mad! Germs that had been laying around hanging out now get attacked and wiped out by the macrophages of the immune system.

Serrapeptase cleans your lungs and blood stream super clean and able to transport oxygen at peak performance.

Now a different class or organism may be hiding in your lungs causing problems. Its called a mycoplasma and it is not like any other beastie. Mycoplasma plays hide and seek from the immune system. The immune system gets tricked by mycoplasma nearly every time. Often when mycoplasma infects tissues the immune system attacks those body tissues creating an autoimmune reaction. Mycoplasma is a very tricky fellow able to disguise its self, able to morph into different forms and to live with or without a cell wall. it can even grow a hard shell around its self and wait for years to re-emerge when conditions are favorable. Mycoplasma basically outsmarts the immune system at every turn.

Now one thing that makes mycoplasma tremble in fear is a mineral solution called gallium nitrate. This stuff attacks iron loving microorganisms. It is harmless to good bacteria like acidophillus but quickly destroys bad pathogenic organisms.

Now one last caution and this is serious, don't take cheap synthetic vitamins!!! You might be shocked but researchers have found that synthetic vitamins greatly assist cancer development and spread. Synthetic vitamin A, for example, has a 28% greater lung cancer risk than taking nothing at all. Many vitamins are processed with fungal components like aspergillus, the second most carcinogenic substance on earth. And/or formaldehyde or deadly carcinogenic chemical solvents in what we call vitamins. Not what you expected to hear huh? Get your vitamins from fresh raw organic foods. See ya

Colloidal Silver
Posted by Art (California) on 09/16/2016

Baldev,

You said you used one teaspoon of colloidal silver in 200 ml of water, but you did not say what the ppm was of the colloidal silver you used.

If it was a typical commercial product, it probably was 20 ppm or less. One teaspoon of 20 ppm is not likely to cause an adverse event unless you happen to be allergic to silver.......some people are. One teaspoon of 20 ppm taken orally is also insufficient to do much of anything health wise. The colloidal silver would need to be at an extremely high ppm in order to have a healthful effect at just one teaspoon dosing. There aren't a ton of commercial products or home made CS that are that high of a ppm to be effective at only one teaspoon dosing. The highest ppm I make is 320 ppm and one teaspoon of that will be almost worthless for treating health issues if taken orally.

Colloidal silver (CS) taken orally will not be anywhere near as effective as colloidal silver that is obtained via an ultrasonic humidifier for lung infections as the silver needs to pass fairly close to a pathogen in order to interact with it and neutralize it. Taken orally, it will get in the blood stream and readily kill pathogens there, but the lungs, not so much. On the other hand, CS delivered via an ultrasonic humidifier is sent directly to the lung surface where it will more easilly interact with pathogens there. The ultrasonic humidifier is capable of delivering effective doses of CS to the lung surface which can be in the area of 540 to 810 square feet!

I would venture a guess that it was not the silver that is causing the fever as the dose seems likely too small to cause any type of herx reaction.

I'm either nuts or I'm dying with some type of reaction to something. I think it's a reaction to a mixture of things, presently -- the two uppermost being hibiscus tea and chenopods. I have noticed that on the days, at the times I have imbibed in organic ACV diluted 1/4 or 1/5 with greater part water, I stop having the horrible respiratory distress that I've been having for over 3 weeks. Now. that said, I believe I will simply get up every morning and begin the day with that, and see if I fall back in love with El Paso.

I have been doing the garlic for a little over a week. I need to know how long do I keep doing the garlic? The vitamin C 500mg, I take 3 tablets a day. I hope I'm not doing to much because I weight 94 pounds and only 5 feet tall. I'm doing everything that I can to heal my lungs, but the doctors says my lungs have scars. I believe in miracle and I know God is in control and can heal me. I still cough and still have shortness of breath, but I'm breathing a little better, but still get tired. Thank you, Josie

I make my own cayenne pepper capsules. I make them in size 00 and I take three in the morning and three in the evening with meals for improved circulation and lung function. This could be helpfull to anyone who would like the benefits of cayenne and does not like the heat. I do like the heat but just want a higher doseage, so I cook with it too. When I take my capsules I usually drink hot green tea or hot water and lemmon with ACV to help them dislolve the capule quicker.

Had 3 friends whose husbands (all 3 VN vets) die of lung complications from agent orange. My one friend said she thinks her husband may have survived had he taken an alternative route.

And furthermore, it can't hurt you...its food!


Iodine
Posted by Bill (San Fernando, Philippines) on 02/25/2012

It's also useful to also understand that there are several other specific beneficial effects of both iodine and thyroid hormones on the human lung area.

From research it is known now that T3 and T4 as well as iodine have a tendency to collect and accumulate in the lungs. Add to this that iodine has significant anti-histamine properties (inhibits conversion of histidine to histamine) and is also secreted from all the mucus glands in the throat, nose and lungs and you have a high degree of protection against infection and inflammation. In the old days, high dose lugol's iodine was a regular and successful therapy for chronic forms of emphysema, bronchitis and asthma. Add to this that the Japanese are one of the heaviest smoking groups in Asia and the world. Yet they also have one of the lowest rates of lung cancer (and low rates of breast and prostate cancers) in the world because they have such a large daily iodine intake in their diets. Iodine is anti-mutagenic and anti-carcinogenic(anti-cancer). Iodine also kills 95% of all known pathogens and yet is beneficial and very necessary for our bodies.

So if you are a smoker or have weak or asthmatic lungs, supplementing lugol's iodine on a regular basis would certainly help you.


Colloidal Silver

Hi mcw,

The great majority of colloidal silver studies use silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to good effect. The following science article discusses the effectiveness and toxicity of silver nanoparticles compared to ionic silver :

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/304/1/012029/pdf#:~:text=Therefore it can be concluded, any risk for the environment.

Here is what the article concluded :

' Silver NPs has proved to be further more suitable antibacterial agent than the substances on the bases of ionic silver especially because of its significantly lower toxicity. The silver NPs, comparably with ionic silver, suppress bacterial and yeast growth at comparable concentrations equal to approx. 1 mg/L - 3 mg/L. Nevertheless, in the case of ionic silver these concentrations are also toxic against eukaryotic organisms including human cells. On contrary silver NPs effectively suppress bacterial and yeast growth at these concentrations that are not toxic to the tested human fibroblasts and also against P. caudatum, D. melanogaster or Monoraphidium sp. Based on these findings, the silver NPs do not represent any risk for human beings, when used in medical applications and commercially available products, but only under the condition that the silver concentration is retained at units of mg/L, which is sufficient for the suppression of bacterial and yeast growth.

Lemon Juice and Baking Soda for Lung Nodules
Posted by Teena (Melbourne, Australia) on 01/16/2018 233 posts

Hello Beatrice,

Ted has recommended his baking soda protocol should be taken three times per day, however understood that due to ease, people were more likely to do twice a day. You can do the extra one an hour after lunch. If this protocol brings adverse reaction, such as feeling of burning, then you are too acidic and are to take the baking soda and water only for a day or two, to build up your bicarbonate supply, then try again with the lemon. You may also want to look into the benefits of Essiac tea.

Dear Josie,

When I use hydrogen peroxide in a nebulizer, I use 5 drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 35 drops of distilled water. Even that makes my husband cough a bit when he is nebulizing. But one of my older sons requests this treatment as he finds it helpful.

Yes to the face lift! When I was being consistent with oil pulling my face really seemed to thin out and it still looked that much better that people were asking me what I had been doing. Then I ran into face yoga (I think that's why it's called) and it clicked as to why the op-ing would act as a face lift. Thanks for the input can't wait to get back to it with added magnesium! : )


Oregano Oil
Posted by Gina65 (Searcy, Ar, Us) on 11/26/2012

I have Cystic Fibrosis and have some bad bacteria in my lungs. I have did good with my CF till the bacteria came along. The Burkholderia Cepacia is relentless, and the MRSA isnt far behind. If I get tired at the end of the day or dont get enough sleep I get a fever. So I avoid crowded places and sick people. But lately I have had some major sinus drainage and that makes for more mucus in my lungs. I cant take antihistamines to dry up the drainage because it also drys out my lungs. And then I cant get the mucus out at all. This time I suffered thru all the drainage (5 long days and nights) without taking anything.

I started taking oil of oregano the 2nd day. I couldnt believe how it is breaking up the mucus in my sinus and my lungs. I have been coughing a lot but it wasnt drainage it was all the infection I have had for a year building up. I have been on Bactrim 800 mg every time I get sick , but this time the dr said the bacteria was resistant to it. And that was my last option. There are 2 iv antibiodics for the Cepacia but I am allergic to it. So the oil of oregano has it work cut out. Does anyone know if you can take too much of it? I am taking around 800 a day. And is better to take with food or with warm water in between meals like the bottle says. I have severe GERDS so I have to be careful to not get the stuff coming up and into my lungs. I want to take it where it is most affective but I don't want to get reflux from it. I am taking the Supercritical CO2 Extract of oregano.

Dear Sheila,

I think the place to start would be to read about Bill Munroe's hydrogen peroxide inhalation therapy.

Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation Therapy

Also, Mullein leaf tea is very good for congestion in the lungs.

I would also consider using castor oil packs on the chest since you have fluid in the lungs and a mass around the heart. You can read about that here:

I hope you will find one of these things or something else to be helpful to you.

If you already have cancer, then you must do baking soda, but other things to address that cancer. Smart folks here on EC, but you must explain your total situation if some one is to help. Suggest you do that and you will get help for certain. I can understand your plight. Just explain your entire cancer situation and you will get help from this site. These people are here for you.

Fennel, Flax and Fenugreek Tea
Posted by Alexandra (London)

Always avoid dairy products when you have any sinus or lung congestion of any kind. This helps--plus try an infusion of a mixture of these herbs, readily available fennel seeds, flaxseeds (aka linseeds) and fenugreek seeds. Mix equal parts of each seed. It's really up to the person how much of each seed they buy and how long they are going to be taking the combination. It's a combination I keep around. I tend to mix up a 1/2 cup of each seed and mix them into a jar and keep them in a cool dark place until they are needed. When needed place a heaping teaspoon of the mixed seeds into a mug of boiling water. Allow to steep, or infuse, whatever you call it, then stir, (sieve if you like or better, eat the seeds) then drink copious amounts. Really does the trick for any congestion lung and sinus.


Colloidal Silver

Sovereign Silver manufacturers ionic silver not colloidal silver, and pharmaceutical-grade water is a fancy way of saying distilled water (0 ppm). But do correct me if I'm wrong. :)

It's definitely colloidal silver.

EC: If the product is clear, it's ionic silver. If the liquid is baby shampoo pale yellow for 10 ppm product, it is true colloidal silver.

Hi again, mcw,

Sovereign Silver is definitely ionic silver as shown in this study of commercial colloidal silver products :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7765683/

Here is a relevant quote from the study :

' The absence of the plasmon band characteristic of dispersed silver nanoparticles clearly shows that 10 of the 14 products evaluated (~70%) contain silver in ionic form and should not be labeled “colloidal silver”. It appears that the large majority of manufacturers are either not aware or are simply ignoring that stable “colloidal silver” dispersions should be colored even at very low silver concentration. Four manufacturers (NaturalImunogenics, Sovereign Silver, Naturally Sourced LLC, and SilverDoc) attempt to “solve” this conundrum by claiming that the particles in their products are too small (0.8 nm) to absorb electromagnetic radiation and thus display color (Note: Based on our data and the identical value of the particle size given on the labels, these four companies appear to be selling the same product under different names).'

It is a mystery to me why these manufacturers don't spend the extra money in production costs to convert their products to actual colloidal silver, but they don't and instead try to pass their products off as colloidal silver instead of the ionic silver that it is. The cost difference to make actual colloidal silver is relatively small, especially for a commercial supplier who is making their product in large quantities.

Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation
Posted by Kenneth (TN) on 11/03/2022

Yea, model # is 3701AXA

But any steamer will do as long as it has a stainless steel pan or bottom, no aluminum or chrome plated steel as that would cause a chemical reaction and emit toxic metal vapors! stainless steel only! and if you are unsure then use a small magnet to test it because a magnet will not stick to stainless steel! but remember only use 3-10 drops of 5 hydrogen peroxide in distilled water! never straight 5 peroxide as that would burn tissue due to the super high oxygen content! if used properly, it works miracles in the re-generation of new cells! My lungs are fine now and much better than the majority of folks in their 60's and I have not done this often, but plan to start again to see what can be achieved. But you also must exercise and push your lungs also while treating them.

I've been using about 1/4 of a teaspoon of mesosilver in a nebulizer once a day for almost a year. It's made a slight improvement in my breathing. I know that sounds like a long time but since my doctor said it would take the antibiotics up to 3 years to work I thought I'd just stick with it. I'm also taking Astragalus to help my immune system.

I use pharmacy grade H202, but the EC idol, Bill Munro, used the brown bottle and lived to the age of 89. So much for the smartest folks in the room.

Colloidal Silver

Hi Baldev...If you are having fever then this is really a good sign because it means that your immune system is finally dealing properly with your infection -- which is probably viral in nature. The reason for the fever is probably due to the colloidal silver, which has acted to reduce your virus levels so that your immune system can now more actively come into play. Whenever that happens, then you get fever. If you kill large amounts of viruses then you will always get alot of viral debris and poisons in the blood. The immune system and the liver have to deal with all this -- hence the fever.

When the fever finally drops and goes down, it might also be worth it for you to actually increase your colloidal silver intake to one or two tablespoons a day for a while. This will help to ensure that all the virus is killed in your blood and organs(viruses are notoriously adept at hiding in the body). So, after you get better, I would still continue to take the colloidal silver for at least a month to make absolutely sure.

As for taking Brufen -- a form of ibroprufen -- it's OK for you to take it for a week or so but you should not take it on a daily long term basis because it adversely damages the liver.

If you want a good anti-inflammatory and pain killer then you can drink tumeric tea frequently or use a tincture of tumeric root on a daily basis. This tincture is highly beneficial, and is easy and cheap to make yourself with no side-effects. How to make this tincture is described in this Youtube video. The normal Ayurvedic dosage for the tumeric tincture is 20 to 25 drops twice a day.

Far Infrared Saunas

Hi Betty, Read your post and thought I should write. My husband had always had problems with his lungs- they felt weak, congested, difficulty with taking in deep breaths and easily fatigued due to all of this. We began doing Far Infrared saunas once a week and after the fifth time he began to see a significant difference. Far Infrared saunas are the only saunas which can actually detox heavy metals and chemicals from the body. And since you say you are dealing with chlorine this would surely make a difference. Because it causes vasodilation, there is a passive aerobic exercise which occurs thereby strengthening the lungs and heart.

Other friends who have used their inhalers regularly have been able to stop using them altogether after using the Far Infrared saunas for a month, twice weekly. They are able to maintain this status as long as they do the FIR sauna at least once a week.

The other wonderful thing about these saunas is, they don't emit EMFs. - another health issue!

Hope this info helps. Lisa

Betty: It seems you may be experiencing a Glutathione deficiency. The body's major enzymatic detoxifier and cell protector is Glutathione Peroxidase. G. P. declines w/ age and add some environmental factors and you get the symptoms you are reporting, especially as the lungs need lots of G. One of the best ways to boost glutathione levels is to supplement the amino acid N-acytlcysteine (NAC). For rapid boosting and particularly in the lungs, one can nebulize the amino precursor complex (combination of glutamine-cysteine-glycine) called Reduced Glutathione. YouTube has some professionals using G. nebulization with very good results for many different diseases. One could eat Walnuts and/or Avocados on a daily basis to boost Glutathione, as well as supplementing any antioxidant nutrients like Vit-C, E, A.

As for strengthening the lungs, I have found no other herb to compare to Astragalus. Astragalus is also a top immune balancing & enhancing herb.

I failed to mention in my previous post that the mineral Selenium is also very important antioxidant and Glutathione booster. Supplementing at least 200 mcgs of Selenium daily could bring recovery in a short time (if there is deficiency). Many people are incorporating Brazil Nuts in the diet as they are the single most Selenium dense food on earth. Speaking of, Se is also one of the most important anti-cancer or cancer preventive nutrients known, and also one of the best anti-aging nutrients known. The many benefits of Se could be attributed to it's role in producing Glutathione.

Iodine
Posted by Bill (San Fernando, Philippines) on 02/27/2012

Hi Seriche... No you must not take povidone iodine or Betadine internally. It's OK to use these topically on the skin or as a vaginal wash or as a mouthwash though. Povidone iodine is an iodophore -- where the iodine is bound to polymers. So this form of iodine, if you like, is "plastic iodine" which would not be internally beneficial to your body. Stick to just 5% Lugols Iodine -- this has been proved to be the safest, most effective and best-balanced form of iodine for the body by the Iodine Investigation Project and it is one of the cheaper forms for iodide/iodine suplementation. But the tough part is finding a seller-source in the Philippines.

Larry. First make some efforts on improving indoor air quality. The amino acid NAC is good for reducing mucus. Nebulizing Colloidal Silver will kill the bacterial infection in the lungs.
