I am so angry at my doctor right now. He does blood tests all the time because I take a muscle relaxant baclofen. Why didn't he check my magnesium? He would rather have me take ropinirole that makes me sick. That's just crazy. Thank you Earth Clinic for the help with my rls. It's crazy, but the soap worked last night and I went to sleep in 10 minutes! I put the soap in my slippers for 10 minutes and it worked with the rls. I'm bedridden because of the cancer twice and they had to take my whole lung and 18 lymph nodes. I wish that i knew about this sight before, maybe my lung could've been saved. But the other lung has asthma and copd. I almost died last year! Earth Clinic saved my life!!! I had pneumonia 7 times in a row!! My caregiver and my friend that stays with me now also had to call an ambulance. I didn't want to go to the hospital with my pneumonia because I knew they would keep me and iI have 3 cats and 3 dogs that have to eat. So my friend moved in to help so I had someone else to feed my pets.

I was hospitalized for my pneumonia 5 times for a week at a time. I had to leave the last time against the doctors permission because I have conjestive heart failure and he wanted to treat my kidneys first. I tried to tell him that if he flooded my kidneys with me having chf and pneumonia I would die for sure. He wouldn't listen and he tried to force me into taking the iv. I had to get out of there fast! I went home and looked up Earth Clinic. That's when I found out that all the steroids and antibiotics were what was causing me to get pneumonia multiple times! I immediately started to lower my steroids. I was taking 160 milligrams of steroids a day just to keep me breathing! i kept taking my antibiotics.

To keep my infection at bay. I had to lower my steroids slowly but surely. I started the cure of h2o2 drops in water and the apple cider vinegar and baking soda! lo an behold, in a couple of days I had some relief from the pneumonia and my kidneys! I also bought vitamin supplements and immune support. I also started the coconut oil and dmso on my lung and doing the oil pulling with coconut oil. I also started using the sea salt for the minerals, although sparingly until my kidneys got better.

Now I'm going to need to get help with my terrible pain, cuz I went off my morphine of 90 milligrams per day! help, I'm in alot of pain but I won't take the morphine any more! .

On an upnote, I was on the highest level of oxygen and now I'm back to 2! Sometimes I can have it on 1 1/2! but I'm not going to push it! I'm taking it slowly but surely. But 2 is great news for me! I'm now able to go to my regular bathroom most of the time, and I can do some light housework! I'm gonna be able to drive soon, when I get my handicap sticker! I am so psyched to get to do some things on my own! I never thought I'd be happy to do the dishes, crazy right? but I am! I'm fighting this with everything i got. If someone else has any suggestions for me, I would appreciate any help with this! and any idea's for the pain, of course I would appreciate it.

Again Earth Clinic, you literally just saved my life! thank you, thank you, thank you for being the only thing that saved my life! I would literally be dead!

P.S. I forgot to tell you that because of the steroids i've been taking for a year, my front teeth are rotten! and I lost 2 of them! hows that for anti steroid use!.

Jose: Do several C.S. Nebulizer treatments per day until the infection is better. Also take the herb Hawthorn Berry to strengthen your heart & lungs. Many good herbal combo products in the health food store that can help free breathing.

Take 1grm of MSM with the Vit-C to kill infection and remove toxins.

Clean or replace existing air filters and purchase a stand alone high quality Indoor Air Purifier.

In reply to Josie,

Hydrogen peroxide will cause colloidal silver to agglomerate, where the particles join together to form larger particles to the point where they become too large and fall out of suspension. The HP basically ruins the colloidal silver as the particles become too large to be effective against pathogens.

Hi Josie,

High dosage of vitamin C might be of help for your pneumonia......

Alan Smith was in coma after a serious case of swine flu which later he developed pneumonia and finally was in coma, doctors in charge were determined to end his life-support means.

With his family's and lawyer's fight, he was finally entitled to high dosage vitamin C regimen and within short time he was healed.

It is advisable to do research. otherwise stay away also from many uses here on EC and go to the doctor.

Inform yourself before giving such info..

In reply to Julie (Greenville, Sc),

If by, "steam", you mean that you are going to put colloidal silver in a pot and and boil it to get steam, no, that will not work. If you boil colloidal silver, the silver will remain in the pot while the water vapor escapes. You will notice that the remaining colloidal silver in the pot will start to darken from the natural light to medium yellow color to a darker golden color and if you boil it long enough it may turn brown as the silver particles become more concentrated.

A cold vapor ultrasonic humidifier will deliver plenty of colloidal silver in a relatively short period of time compared to a nebulizer which delivers a much smaller amount in a given period of time. This is an important point when you consider that the interior surface area of the lungs is approximately half of a tennis court.

Sea Salt

Sea Salt for Pneumonia

I have (usually) mild asthma. I visited a dusty wildflower area and contracted fungal pneumonia. The doctor did not apply effective antibiotics, because the infection was fungal, and he initially misdiagnosed it. The infection continued for weeks, and hardened into chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Over the next year I tried many remedies. Then I found an interesting fact. The ocean has millions of antibacterial virions per liter. This is why there are so few bacteria there: predation. I live in an oceanside city, and have no problem getting clean, fresh seawater. I spat some infected sputum into a bottle of seawater and diluted it to invisibility. The idea was that any virus would rapidly multiply by killing and eating the bacteria of my infection. Then over a week, I sprayed the water and inhaled it. My coughing got worse, but then air began to penetrate past the blockages and I began to cough them up; some looked like french fries. I'm now healthy.

I think a similar effort might work with artificial seawater made from organic sea salt. The idea is that it must be organic so that the antibacterial virions would need to be preserved in the salt.

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.


Grapefruit Seed Extract

Recently I had a surprising elimination of a post nasal drip. I've dealt with them for 20+ yrs. I take serrapeptase intermittently but had not taken it for months. Then a few weeks ago I had a bad bout. Was miserable. I had just bought Zinc & elderberry lozenges and that night, after waking up coughing, reached for them and popped one in my mouth and went back to sleep. When I woke, it was the strangest feeling in my throat/sinus area; dry like the Sahara feeling. The drip was gone. The strange feeling remained for 2-3 days but it was almost miraculous how it stopped the PND. Maybe bc I was laying down it was able to directly affect the area, as opposed to being upright. I don't know other than it was an extremely surprising & welcomed effect!

For chronic cases (which I no longer have) I highly recommend Grapefruit Seed Extract (aka 'GSE'). The root cause of sinus infections and PND is mold and fungus. A recent study of chronic sinusitis and fungus done by the mayo clinic found that a whopping 97% of people tested had an average of 2.7 types of fungus growing in their sinus cavities. And they were successfully treated for chronic sinus infections using antifungal medications treatments. But what was found to be the most effective antifungal agent, by far, was the natural remedy of grapefruit seed extract (GSE)! ... Same goes for most respiratory infections.

I got home from the hospital from pneumonia and was not OK. Started immediately, I got empty capsules and filled them up 15-20 drops of extract fit in each cap (30 drops, twice daily). Amazing remedy! I've read ppl opening nasal spray bottles of saline solution and adding a 3 drops of GSE and spraying that into their sinuses every 3-4 times daily. Our medicine cabinet won't be without this. Research it for yourself. And lastly, buy the GSE that's been around forever (red label & cap), not the newer ones that I hear are not as potent.

@Katie: Thanx for your victory treatment testimony and protocol, and congradulations.

I might add a few points and also ask about the "mucus thinner" supposing it's Guiffenissen, which is considered a semi-synthetic expectorant with a good safety record. Also for "lung infection" mucus problems is the amino acid NAC or Cysteine from your local health food store is said to be very effective.

I'll now take a little air out of your balloon and add that the duration of your pneumonia may be the first indication of a weakening or depressed immune system. The mineral Zinc @ 25-50 mg day will greatly strengthen the immunity.

Anyway, if you catch another bad infection again in the near future do come back here so to address also any possible underlying conditions.


Turpentine and Castor Oil
Posted by Rob (Kentucky) on 10/26/2024

Turpentine oil (spirits of turpentine) (topical/inhalant)

From the Book: Over-the-counter drugs, March 1936-March 1978 · Volume 1 p. 546, by United States. Food and Drug Administration · 1980

Turpentine oil (spirits of turpentine) (topical/inhalant). The Panel concludes that turpentine oil is safe in the dosage ranges used when applied topically or as an inhalant but there are insufficient data to permit final classification of its effectiveness for topical or inhalant OTC use as an anti-tussive.

– 38354 –

(1) Safety. Clinical experience has confirmed that turpentine oil is safe when applied topically or used as an inhalant in the dosage ranges used as an anti-tussive. The Panel concludes that oil of turpentine is safe when applied externally or vaporized in boiling water as a steam inhalant. However, the Panel has determined elsewhere in this document that it is not safe for OTC use when used orally as an anti-tussive. (See part III. paragraph B.2.b. above-Turpentine oil (spirits of turpentine) (oral).)

Oil of turpentine is a volatile oil consisting of a mixture of pinenes derived from the oleoresin obtained from Pinus palustrus. Nelson et al. (Ref. 1) found exposure to a vapor of 420 to 560 mcg/ 1 acceptable to most of their human subjects. The threshold for industrial exposure for 8 hours has been set at 560mcg/1. The maximum concentration obtainable with a currently marketed OTC preparation is 36 mcg/1 (Refs. 2 and 3 ). No histological evidence of pulmonary lesions were seen in mice and rats exposed to lethal concentrations of turpentine vapors (Ref. 4). Inhalation of 300 mcg/1 of turpentine vapor by mice for 15 minutes did not influence the electrocardiogram, respiratory minute volume, pulmonary airway, resistance, or compliance (Ref. 5). One study in mice using a mixture of volatile oils, one of which was turpentine, showed a decrease in pulmonary antibacterial activity (Ref. 6). Two other studies showed no change when the mixture was used (Refs. 7 and 8).

In several studies in children and infants suffering from minor breathing discomforts associated with the "common cold" no side effects that were drug related were observed when a medicated steam was administered (Refs. 9 through 13). Turpentine has been widely used as a part of a mixture of volatile oils for many years with approximately two complaints per million packages purchased (Ref. 14).

(2) Effectiveness. There are no well-controlled studies documenting the effectiveness of turpentine oil (topical/inhalant) as an antitussive. Its effectiveness is uncertain due to a lack of properly controlled studies of the substance by itself.

(3) Proposed dosage. Dosage for adults and children 2 to under 12 years is as follows: (i) For topical use as a 4.0 percent ointment preparation: To be rubbed on the throat, chest, and back as a thick layer. The area of application may be covered. However, clothing should be left loose about the throat and chest to help the vapor rise to reach the nose and mouth. Applications may be repeated up to 3 times daily.

(ii) For steam inhalation use as a 5.5 percent solution: 1 tablespoonful of solution per quart of water is added directly to the water in a hot steam vaporizer, bowl, or washbasin; or 2 teaspoonfuls of solution per pint of water are added to an open container of boiling water. Breathe in vapors during the period of medicated steam generation. May be repeated 3 times daily.

For children under 2 years, there is no recommended topical or inhalant dosage except under the advice and supervision of a physician.

Vitamin C
Posted by Skye (Dokkum, Netherlands) on 08/04/2012

I swear by using Vit C.

Having had asthmatic bronchitus for many years, I was prescribed inhaler #4 when I decided "enough is too much! ". I threw out the inhalers and started using Vit C as per the directions of Linus Pauling and Adelle Davis.

The rule of thumb is to start slowly and get the body used to it by taking 1000mg per day, increasing this every few days or every week until you hit your "body tolerance level". Pure and simple this means: until your bowels start to protest :-) Then cut back by 500 or 1000 mg until you're comfortable. And yes, in case of an illness like pneumonia (which I have had several bouts with) the tolerance level will greatly increase, as the body's own reserves of ascorbic acid are rapidly depleted.

In some cases when having penumonia, I have taken up to 15-20 grams of Vit C in one day and not had irritated bowels. It is a wonderful aid in recovering from illnesses.

However, be aware that there always needs to be an extra protein supplementation as well, as the body loses protein at a shocking rate during any (severe) illness! This will also protect any potential damage done to either body tissues or even the DNA.

A good way to make sure you get sufficient protein during any illness (and it goes down easier than, say, 6 eggs :-) is to make "Tiger's Milk" or "Pep-Up Drink", a recipe from Adelle Davis.

Finally, taking Vit C every day is a great method to protect yourself against any illness, and if an illness does grab hold of you, to make sure it goes away in a hurry. The same goes for ACV honey, which also goes a long way towards strengthening your immune system. Finally, staying away from artificial products and/or chemically polluted products is also a good way to protect your system.

Hello Holly,

There's nothing wrong with taking the full set of items you list to deal with the infection... Garlic, H2O2, sea salt etc. While you're at it, why don't you add the one thing that would, in my opinion, really kill the pneumonia? Colloidal Silver. You need a vaporizer... Which turns the liquid into a steam and when I feel something in my respiratory, I make sure to breathe deeply for a few minutes Mine has a "cup" that I breathe into. I do this three times daily for a week. Always knocks out my infection that fast. I see from your post you live close to my office and if you email me at david (at) dlthomaslaw.com I'd be happy to have a bottle of CS for you. I give away bottles to friends and family... And have for decades. Free.

My advice the quickest way without all that complicated whooey - take antibiotic with a concentrated amount of green tea. Had pnemonia for 3 days, almost died becuse the bactera became resistant. Take 4 bags of green, tea steep in water, do not boil but get it hot enough to leech out tea; let it cool. Now you might get lit off the caffine but I survived by takeing the antibiotic and tea at the same time. What you"ll notice in less than five minutes is your infection will break. This is because the tea will kill bacteria, viral and fungal forms of pnemonia. Antibiotics will be boosted by 300%; don"t say it won't work it will! And repeat a smaller dose tommorow of the tea along with antibiotic or medication given.

I followed these directions: how to make lipospheric vit c, mix 1 cup (filtered) water 2 spoons c in one container and stir, 2 cups water, 6 spoons lecithin in another container and stir, let both containers sit at room temp for 1hr, stir or blend the two together, let sit for 2 hrs, pour into ultracleaner and set for 480 sec or 8 min and stir almost continuously, refrigerate. Recommended dose is 1 oz, 1 or 2 x daily.

I have almost completed my 3rd batch and the effects are nothing less than amazing. I am also on my 2nd batch of Lipo Reduced Glutathione.


High Dose Vitamin D and Magnesium

I am a researcher, thus I can suggest this curement, since currently it had amazing results on bronchitis.

For coronavirus curement, simple cough, severe bronchitis or pneumonia I can suggest you try using these ingredients. This curement was developed by me.

I suggest using this:

a) 30,000IU vitamin D per day (notice here the dosage is 30,000IU and not 3000IU) for three days (in case symptoms persist, take for another two days).

b) 600mg Magnesium Citrate per day

Probably you will see amazing results, since already in two different occasions, it eliminated cough in 2 days and on another occasion it eliminated cough in three days.

Use this curement completely on your own responsibility or inform your doctor as to supervise supplementation.

Colloidal Silver
Posted by Art (California ) on 05/23/2018 2325 posts

Josie,

In order for colloidal silver to work, it must come in direct contact with the pathogen.I don't think that colloidal silver taken orally can effectively reach the interior of the lungs in a high enough concentration and have not seen any studies to suggest it can.The majority of colloidal silver taken orally is likely to mainly end up in the blood stream, feces and urine. If you look in the video section of Earth Clinic, they have a video showing how they deliver colloidal silver directly to the lungs and this is something you can discuss with your doctor to see if it may be an option for you. Another consideration is that colloidal silver has shown synergy with certain antibiotics and in some instances has helped to overcome resistance to some antibiotics.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24623636

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3754765/

The raw garlic is a potent antibacterial, but I would not feel comfortable relying on just garlic to combat pneumonia. I don't have any experience with using aloe vera to fight pneumonia so no comment on that aspect.

Hello Cindy,

When I use colloidal silver for coughs and lung congestion, I have a very small cool mist vaporizer that only requires about 2 ounces of CS for one treatment, but most cool mist vaporizers require more ounces in my experience in order to work, usually about 4 or 5 ounces. So I breathe in from the outlet port of the vaporizer at a distance of a couple of inches and I alternate between breathing through my nose and breathing through my mouth in order to get the vapor into as many areas as possible.

I use 20 ppm colloidal silver and I do the breathing for 7 to 10 minutes per session. If I do 7 minute sessions, I will do 4 sessions per day and if I do 10 minute sessions I will do 3 sessions per day.

I never reuse any remaining silver that is left in my cool mist vaporizer, because the sonication process of the vaporizer can knock the silver out of suspension, so I put new colloidal silver for each use.

Whenever I am having a cough or lung congestion, I also use melatonin at high dose as Dr. Neel does for his Covid-19 patients at 1 mg per kilogram of body weight. I weigh about 180 lbs. which is approximately 82 kilograms so I will take at least 82 mg of melatonin in divided doses spread throughout the night and day. Not everyone can tolerate melatonin, but I do so I use it and for me it is very helpful.

I am not a doctor so I can not recommend that anyone do what I am doing, I am just describing what I do and everyone else should see their doctor to make sure that what they are doing for them is safe for them to do.

When you see your doctor, you might show him this study that discusses the use of melatonin for lungs during flu and possibly pneumonia:

He told his doctor who assured him he just had bad genes. Well uncle bought that same as he would a goose that lays golden eggs. He said he will never take a shot of any kind again. Unfortunately he still limps today!

I came down with pneumonia Jan 2007. Doctors at the urgent care gave me Factive and it cleared up the pneumonia at first. Then around summertime (same year) I developed a chronic cough which I felt was from the initial pneumonia. Around Novemeber I came down with full blown bronchitis, or some kind of a lung obstruction. Iran into Bill's HP treatment protocol and everything is fine now. What a rough year I had in 2007 regarding my health. This was especially difficult for a guy that has never been sick in his life. I will never stop using HP again. All of this suffering could have been stopped months ago. Thanks again Bill and Earth Clinic...

Food grade peroxide should be used for anything internally because of the stabilizers in brown bottle store peroxide. It may be safe in a nebulizer, but I wouldn't use it internally for anything else, but if it does get absorbed into the blood stream, I probably would only use food grade peroxide.


Colloidal Silver
Posted by Bill (Philippines) on 05/23/2018

Here is a full description, with his reasons, of how Ted from Bangkok prepares and uses colloidal silver safely:

"Agyria is a common problem with using a straight batch of colloidal silver, often the skin is not really blue, it is closer to gray color. The problem occurs when a free silver ions react with the sulfur in your body to from AgS, or silver sulfide. Most colloidal silver produced are actually either a nonreactive Ag or a reactive Ag with a charge, then it reacts with the body's available sulfur to cause a "blue skin", more more accurately is "gray skin".

This problem can be prevented, which I solved over a decade ago, which required that a couple of drops of hydrogen peroxide is added to a liter of colloidal silver. The peroxide, reacts with the FREE silver ions to form Silver Oxide. When I first add this, I get a cloudly solution, and after three days, this cloudy solution becomes a clear white transparent water. However, an unreacted Ag or Silver in a solution will show itself is a faint yellow transparent solution. So this ia an easy way to tell. If you add a drop of H2O2 into this it becomes cloudy. However, if the solution is Silver oxide, it won't become cloudy as there is no longer any "free" silver ions. When they are no longer free, it won't react with the body's sulfur to form silver oxide. Hence, if a hydrogen peroxide, at least, is added to the colloidal silver you buy, the silver is no longer free, and the condition of blue skin or gray skin or agyria is prevented.

However, there is ANOTHER way, that DOES NOT REQUIRE you to wait for three days to fully digest the free Silver. When I make a batch of colloidal silver, using the silver wire or silver rods as an electrode using any D.C. adapter, the BEGINNING solution is distilled water with a 0.5% H2O2 concentration, which is 1/2 percent H2O2 concentration, or approximate amount such as one tablespoon (plastic spoons!) of 3% H2O2 in a 1 or 1.5 liter of colloidal silver is generally sufficient, to prevent any free metal silver form occuring.

It should be noted that a silver oxide may have a better antibacterial properties and less staining problems then the use of pure silver. So in practice, the use of COLLOIDAL SILVER OXIDE, is the one I actually use and relatively problem free. For example, if a free silver has too much charges, I have noted that constipation occurs if taken too much of colloidal silver with FREE SILVER, but this doesn't happen (within reason such as NOT DRINKING liters of it!) if a COLLOIDAL silver oxide is prepared."

Basically, what Ted is saying above is that you must add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to colloidal silver because this acts to completely and safely remove any dangerous reactive silver in the solution that can cause Agyria problems with long term use.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Sarah, I'm not a chemist or a doctor, but I've also heard that hydrogen peroxide is very effective against viruses (virii?). However, I would not discount the healing energy of your touch with the swabs. The cooling effect, probably in a nice, calm home enivronment (not a clinical doctor's office or hospital) in which to receive his 'medication. ' I'm certain there was a physical effect, but I feel quite strongly that the touch was just as important. You soothed your baby. Your baby was able to sleep, and sleep is critical to healing. I say "all the above. " :)


Vitamin C

In reply to the person asking: "Q. How long did he take the vit. C? Apart from mixing it in water, was there any other thing that he took that could be of help to me?"

He took the vit c every day. He still takes it without fail. He was prob taking around 150 to 200 grams a day for months (about 5) until one day he could only take around 10grams, and he has stayed on that ever since. Straight away he had emediate benefits. He stopped coughing up blood, no longer needed anti biotics and made a slow recovery. Now he is SO much better. I thought I was going to lose him but the vit c saved him. He also took cayenne. I would give him hot water with about quarter teaspoon cayenne. Try and give him regular drinks of it, I'm sure this helped too. If you have the money you can also try adding Lypo-Spheric vit c. It has a higher strength absorborancy.

This is the technique we used:

BOWEL TOLERANCE METHOD by Robert Cathcart

In 1970, I discovered that the sicker a patient was, the more ascorbic acid he would tolerate by mouth before diarrhea was produced. At least 80% of adult patients will tolerate 10 to 15 grams of ascorbic acid fine crystals in 1/2 cup water divided into 4 doses per 24 hours without having diarrhea. The astonishing finding was that all patients, tolerant of ascorbic acid, can take greater amounts of the substance orally without having diarrhea when ill or under stress. This increased tolerance is somewhat proportional to the toxicity of the disease being treated.

As he started to get better and we learnt more about alternative medicine we added other vits. Mainly for his heart as pneumonia was linked to years of heart problems. We added D-ribose, L- arginine. HE loves this stuff, if he misses a dose he feels so tired. Also Q - 10.

Hope this helps.

Hip: I am convicted to amend your "Vit-C in high doses" to only Lipospheric Vit-C. Having used many forms of C over-the-yrs in small or large doses, and having only recently been using homemade Lipo-C, the difference is off-the-charts. This factor could easily determine the difference between a return to health or death. Lipospheric Vit-C is really the only way to administer.

The effects of Thymus vulgaris inhalation therapy on airway status and oxygen saturation of patients under mechanical ventilation: A randomized clinical trial

Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2212958820301609

Abstract
Background and Objective

A wide range of intensive care patients on a ventilator are at risk for pneumonia and atelectasis. Thymus vulgaris essential oil administered by nebulization has been proposed as potentially useful in preventing these complications. The present study aimed to determine the effect of Thymus vulgaris inhalation therapy on airway status and oxygen saturation in patients under mechanical ventilation.

Materials and Methods

AnchorThis randomized clinical trial performed on 66 patients on a ventilator in two groups. The experimental group received the Thymus vulgaris essential oil (four drops of pure Thymus vulgaris essential oil with 10 mL distilled water) every eight hours for 30 minutes in three days through a nebulizer. The control group received 10 mL of distilled water every eight hours for 30 min in three days through a nebulizer. A questionnaire collected information on socio-demographic characteristics and clinical parameters, and a checklist used to record variables related to airway status (weight, volume, the concentration of secretions; respiratory sounds; airway plateau pressure; airway maximum pressure) and oxygen saturation.

Findings

The concentration of airway secretions in the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (p < 0.001, F = 61.901). The mean airway maximum pressure was significantly decreased (p < 0.001, F = 17.315) and showed a significant difference in the mean oxygen saturation at 8 am and 10 am between the day before the intervention and the first to third days after intervention in the experimental group (p < 0.001, F = 13.972).

Conclusion

Thymus vulgaris inhalation therapy diminished the concentration of airway secretions through increasing the volume and reduced the weight of secretions, and decreased the airway maximum pressure through a decline in the stimulation of the airway. It also facilitated the discharge of mucous membranes, improved gas exchange, and increased the oxygen saturation of patients under mechanical ventilation through direct stimulation of the mucosa, increasing the secretion of the airway mucosa, and increasing the activity and movements of the respiratory tract cilia. Therefore, Thymus vulgaris inhalation therapy may be recommended to improve the condition of the respiratory tract in patients under mechanical ventilation.

Note: A 2011 study conducted at the Medical University of Lodz in Poland tested thyme oil's response to 120 strains of bacteria isolated from patients with infections of oral cavity, respiratory and genitourinary tracts. The results of experiments showed that the oil from the thyme plant exhibited extremely strong activity AGAINST ALL of the clinical strains. Thyme oil even demonstrated a good efficacy against antibiotic-resistant strains.

I am a researcher, thus I can suggest this curement.

For coronavirus curement, simple cough, severe bronchitis or pneumonia I can suggest you try using these ingredients. This curement was developed by me.

I suggest using this:

a) 30, 000IU vitamin D per day (notice here the dosage is 30, 000IU and not 3000IU) for three days (in case symptoms persist, take for another two days).

b) 600mg Magnesium Citrate per day

Probably you will see amazing results, since already in two different occasions, it eliminated cough in 2 days and on another occasion it eliminated cough in three days.

Use this curement completely on your own responsibility or inform your doctor as to supervise supplementation.

Yes, to pneumonia shot and while you're at it shingles. Both are not good things to have happen to you. I have had both.

I had Covid and repairing my lungs. I just started with hydrogen peroxide inhalation therapy.

I empty out a salt nasal spray and rinse thoroughly with distilled water. Then using Food grade 3 % hydrogen peroxide dilute by half with distilled water and put in container.

Watch the videos here on how to use the spray for inhalation.

It does help.

Note: I do not do the internal method, there are people here and links that have that protocol. Also there are different grades of hydrogen peroxide. 35% hydrogen peroxide must be diluted! Make sure you use 3% food grade!

My husband refuses to drink it, but he's tried soaking in it, or soaking his feet. If you are afraid to drink it, you can try soaking in it. I can't be convinced it can be more harmful than standard medicine!

Two years ago I met a friend who suggested a flu shot once a year, so even though my doctor said it would not help, I got a flu shot and a pneumonia shot and I have not had to see the doctor or take any pills or had any symptoms for two years...I can't say It's a miracle cure but after ten years of popping pills I'm a free man...

HI U GOOD PEOPLE, , , , , , , , SJS, I just remembered a story, so I may owe Brad an apology. I had a hunting buddy in Arkansas in the 70's who had lung cancer and 90% of one lung was removed. Years later he would relate that this piece of a lung put him in the hospital for weeks at a time with pneumonia. This happened about three times a year.

I related how we were doing Bill Munro's H202 inhalation and he should try it. A few months later he called me mad as a wet hen, saying that I was trying to kill him. He was coughing up bad stuff. Later that year he called to thank me because he had not gotten pneumonia . He never got pneumonia again for 3 years . He was a smoker and I think that was a factor for his initial problems.

Maybe Brad was a smoker and that caused his problem. Sometimes we get ahead of ourselves. Different strokes for different folks. Live and learn.

Tea Tree Oil nanoemulsions for Inhalation Therapies of Bacterial and Fungal Pneumonia

Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26895502/

DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2016.02.017

Tea tree oil (TTO) is a natural essential oil with strong antimicrobial efficacy and little drug resistance. However, the biomedical applications of TTO are limited due to its hydrophobicity and formulation problems. Here, we prepared an inhalable TTO nanoemulsion (nanoTTO) for local therapies of bacterial and fungal pneumonia. The optimal formulation of nanoTTOs consisted of TTO/Cremophor EL/water with a mean size of 12.5nm. The nanoTTOs showed strong in vitro antimicrobial activities on Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. After inhalation to the lung, the nanoTTOs had higher anti-fungal effect than fluconazole on the fungal pneumonia rat models with reduced lung injury, highly microbial clearance, blocking of leukocyte recruitment, and decrease of pro-inflammatory mediators. In the case of rat bacterial pneumonia, the nanoTTOs showed slightly lower therapeutic efficacy than penicillin though at a much lower dose. Taken together, our results show that the inhalable nanoTTOs are promising nanomedicines for local therapies of fungal and bacterial pneumonia with no obvious adverse events.

Note: Cremophor EL is a popular castor oil derivative. Cremophor EL has a slightly lower degree of ethoxylation and is not hydrogenated.

Hydrogen Peroxide
Posted by Sarah (Newark, New Jersey) on 03/03/2012

Hello, I have a question, My 15 month old son was sick with a lot of cough, some fever and after taking him to the doctor, he said he had a virus. We had a hard time giving him his medicine because he wouldn't swallow it and the next day the cough got a little worse and you could tell he was weaker. So we took him to the Emergency Room. After putting him the mask, you know, the nebulizer he got better. After doing an Xray the doctor said my son had pneumonia so we were told to really give him all his medicine, antibiotics and stuff (which we did).

Then at home 4 hours later he was coughing a lot again, almost as bad as before. So I read somewhere here that you can help your body fight a virus by spraying hydrogen peroxide. I was scared first because my son is so young (15 months), but I was desperate. So I took the regular 3% hydrogen peroxide that they sell in the stores and put a small amount (enough to make it wet) in a piece of cloth and wiped his feet, legs, hands, belly, chest, back and a little of his arms and you know I watched him carefully. Shortly after I would say like 15 or 20 minutes afterwards his cough diminished a lot. It wasn't completely gone but I could tell he felt a little better.

After 3 or 4 hours, the cough started again and I did the same thing and again it helped him diminish the cough and was able to sleep for some hours. Then 3 hours later I repeated again and it helped. The next day and following days I didn't think it was neccesary to use the peroxide because his cough had diminished considerably.

Now my question is: what did the Peroxide do exactly? or was it just coincidence, because they gave him antibiotics and other medicines at the ER and also the next 5 days we were able to give him his antibiotics and medicines. I am pretty sure the Hydrogen peroxide helped but I can't say exactly how. I don't know if I would recommend this because, everybody is different and children are more sensitive and fragile, but I am sure that the peroxide helped him with his cough. Do you think maybe the peroxide made him sleepy? I doubt it but I am looking forward to your reply. Thank you in advance and I think this site is great. It helps a lot.

Vitamin C
Posted by Hiptobehealthy (Netherlands) on 09/29/2013

How is your wife doing now? Have you tried The vit c in high dosages? Cayenne pepper apple cider with honey diluted with water. In severe cases fast just drink spring water. Also I' m pretty sure you're wife is extremely acid. You can simply test this with with ph test strips (health store). Avoid any acidic foods such as meat, dairy, fish, grains refined sugars, junk food and only drink alkalizing juices: green juices (look up recipes on the internet). Grey Celtic unrefined sea salt, msm powder, calcium (only take pearl calcium), silica are alkalizing minerals she might take in addition to get alkaline. Also are there any irritants in the air of your home? Think of air conditioners, dusty heating systems, house molds, pets, ambrosia ( a plant that causes extreme hay fever and irritant to respiratory ways). In the Netherlands, people with pneumonia (or asthma and tbc) used to go to the Swiss alps for fresh air to get better. And get sunlight! Also consider grounding. If you're in a warm climate, your wife could walk barefoot or sit/ lay down touching the earth outside for at least 2 hrs a day. Otherwise consider a grounding pad (google on internet) to sleep on. It reduces pain and inflammation quickly. Good luck and just to show that there's a lot more you can do than just vitamin c. I would do as many as I could. Love & health.

Sea Salt
Posted by Rob (Kentucky) on 11/20/2024

Spitting your infected sputum into a bottle of seawater and later inhaling it seems a little gross and extreme to me… Modern technology has brought the ocean to your home via a nebulizer.

Salt Water Inhalation (also known as Hypertonic Saline) – Halotherapy: The word halotherapy comes from the Greek word halos, which means "salt". You can traces its origins to ancient Greek and Roman use of natural salt caves for health benefits. Halotherapy is a form of medicine that uses salt in a therapeutic setting, usually by inhaling an aerosol. The practice of halotherapy has been known for thousands of years. In the 12th century, Poland began to develop salt cave spa resorts. In the 1800s, Eastern European miners noticed that they had fewer respiratory issues and appeared younger than other miners. This was likely due to the salt particles they breathed in.

Salt therapy can effectively manage your symptoms from respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, COPD, smoker's cough/ emphysema, allergies, sinusitis, and upper respiratory infections.

In the late 1700's, England had a lot of illnesses and not a lot of cures. British physicians, searching for solutions, began to tout the healing benefits of bathing in cold sea water and breathing in the breathing sea air. Ocean water was believed to shrink tumors, relieve melancholy, cure tuberculosis, and heal various lung diseases. But don't wait until summer—physicians claimed winter was the best time for an ocean bath, and the colder the water, the greater the benefits.

Infact, back in the late 1800's to early 1900's, for those suffering from respiratory conditions like asthma, bronchitis, or allergies, Doctor's recommeded spending time by the ocean can bring noticeable relief. The moisture in the air helps reduce inflammation in the lungs, opening up airways and allowing for deeper, clearer breathing.

In the BBC TV drama Sanditon Tom Parker (a character in Jane Austen's Sanditon and was likely inspired by a real person) is Austen's biggest proponent of the “sea cure”. He's was so dedicated to the idea that he opens a resort town to bring more people to the coast. Austen writes that Parker “held it indeed as certain that no person could be really in a state of secure & permanent Health without spending at least 6 weeks by the Sea every year, ” adding that breathing sea air and bathing in the ocean can cure “every Disorder of the Stomach, the Lungs, or the Blood.”

Note: The Regency era is a period in British history that is often associated with culture, art, fashion, and architecture. It is generally considered to have lasted from 1795 to 1837.

Society women flocked to the sea for Regency-style spa treatments. One popular treatment was to dunk women, fully clothed or in something that looked like your grandma night gown flannel dress. (bikini's or swimwear were not allowed in that time period by women due to religious/social doctrine), into the ocean. This was repeated until the women were freezing and suffocating—which was also known as energized and revitalized. The women were then given dry clothes, back rubs, feet warmers, and a cup of tea. This is slightly different from today's spa treatments, which substitute pedicures for hypothermia. Men did it too, but they were usually in swim trunks.

Ocean water is good for your skin and lungs. According to a 1999 study from the University of Freiburg in Germany, sea water helps alleviate skin problems such as dermatitis and psoriasis. This is because it is rich in minerals, including magnesium, chloride, sodium, potassium, iodine, and sulfur. The sea's minerals also promote respiratory health, reducing allergies, sinus infections, and asthma symptoms. So it IS good to bathe in the sea and breathe in that ocean air!

Modern day use of saltwater, Hypertonic saline is a sterile saline solution of different concentrations, 3%, 3.5%, and 7% sold for nebulizer machines. It works by increasing the amount of sodium (salt) in the airways.

Salt is antibacterial, antiviral, and antimicrobial – meaning it destroys or inhibits the growth of toxins and pathogens in your lungs. As it enters your respiratory system, it absorbs toxic moisture, cleanses, and clears away excess mucus, and gets rid of harmful bacteria.

Salt is widely known for its antibacterial benefits – that's why it's been used as a preservative. How does it work? Salt kills bacteria by effectively draining the water out of them. Without water, bacteria cannot function properly, ultimately, destroying it.

Inflammation occurs when your body's white blood cells are protecting you from bacteria, infections, and foreign organisms. Salt can be used to alleviate this inflammation, as it clears toxins and other viral causing agents from your nasal cavities and airways. The salt naturally attacks the problem in your lungs and nasal cavities by reducing all bronchial swelling.

Inhaling fine salt particles can thin mucus in the airways, making it easier to raise. This can help people with breathing issues, and is especially helpful for people with cystic fibrosis. Salt can help thin mucus in the lungs by attracting water into the airways, making it easier to cough out.

Salt attracts water into the airways, which thins the mucus, making it easier to cough out. Research has shown that inhaling hypertonic saline twice a day helps people with cystic fibrosis experience fewer lung infections.

Hypertonic saline can be given for cough, you will most often inhale hypertonic saline as a mist twice a day through a nebulizer.

AnchorHomemade Saline Solution Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 cup (8oz) water (distilled)
¼ to ½ tsp sea salt

Instructions:

Make the saline solution: There's more to making saline that just mixing salt and water. For the salt to effectively dissolve into the water, you must raise the water temperature. Boiling the water will also kill off any potentially dangerous microbes living in the tap water (I use distilled). Boil 8 oz. of water, then allow it to cool until just "very warm." Add ¼ teaspoon of salt and mix well until the salt dissolves. The ¼ teaspoon of salt will make a saline solution that matches the amount of salt in your body (isotonic). https://www.wikihow.com/Make-Saline-Nasal-Spray

Anchor – You may want to try a salt spray that has a greater concentration of salt than your body (hypertonic). – This is useful for significant congestion with a lot of discharge. If you're having trouble breathing or clearing your nose, consider a hypertonic solution.[2]

– To do this, simply add 1/2 teaspoon of salt instead of 1/4 teaspoon.

– It is not recommended use a hypertonic solution for infants or small children younger than five years old. However, I know parents that do with a much more diluted solution.

Consider adding baking soda (optional). A half teaspoon of baking soda will adjust the pH of the solution. This makes it less likely to sting a sore nose, especially with hypertonic solutions with a higher salt content. Add it while the water is still warm, and mix well to dissolve the baking soda.

You can add the salt and the baking soda all at once, but adding the salt first usually results in easier mixing.

My body is rejecting many antibiotics. I'm praying for a miracle to happen.

Hello! I'm so happy I found this website!! My brother, who is always always sick, just found out he has pneumonia and has had a fever for 7 days… I have seen nebuilzing colloidal silver… any ideas on dosages?
