Comments on: How to Treat Bronchitis

on 7/21/2007 I had Bronchitis, the Dr's prescribed everything, inhaler, lung fluid drainer, claritin, cough suppression pills, anti-biotics, I went through hell. My chest would rattle when I coughed :( Then my mom told my my grandmother said to take 3 teaspoons of codliver oil a day till it goes away. I was skeptical but I did it day 4 gone! It's a miracle. What the Dr's don't want you to know. $9.00 saved me. The end.

on 2/26/2007 The best remedy I have found, and my family swears by it to this day is:

this must be done in the shower. Place one leg up on the side of the tub, or, if you have a shower only, as high up on the shower wall as possible. Take care to use leverage. Now, with that one leg up, reach your hand around to your back and thump approximately six or seven times, varying each thump's intensity, breathing deeply and then not-so-deeply, and combinations thereof. Now, lower the leg and switch legs. Thump again, but this time don't breathe at all. After eight days either it will have gone away completely or it will somewhat help it. Again, do this and drink a shot of whiskey before bed and you will be great.

on 8/8/2006 Bring a pot of water to boil on the stove (add aromatic herbs or such, if you like); turn off the heat and (being careful not to burn yourself), lower your face to the steam and cover your head with a towel to create a mini steam bath. Breathe in the steam as long as it's comfortable to do so. It's okay to step away for a moment or two to cool down and return. You should do this several times a day.

The steam helps to break up the phlegm. Lay on your bed, belly down. Hang the upper part of your body off of the mattress. If possible, have someone pound on your back with gentle, but firm strokes. This can help dislodge/break-up the phlegm. It's not comfortable but try laying like this for 10 minutes or so, several times a day. And work on coughing up the mucous plugs!

on 8/8/2006 I am using oregano, frankincense and thyme oils. I am giving these oils to my mother in this manner:
The first three days, frankincense (2 drops morning, afternoon and evening). I mix them in organic juice from Ciaga. The next three days, thyme and then oregano (in the same way - internally).
I am also using pleurisy root.
My mother has been in intensive care for the past four months. She is getting better. Her shortness of breath is just about gone. She does not seem to need ventilation anymore. However, her mucus production seems to be an ongoing problem. She has COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).

on 8/8/2006 STEPS
have the person sit in front of you and have the person round their back and tighten their stomach mucles
with both hands pat the person on the back and have them cough while you're patting their back and this WILL HELP with the problem of flem or mucus oh one more thing make sure that you pat their back as hard as you can with out hurting their back and making it red

on 12/8/2005 Put 4 to 6 rounded teaspoons of activated charcoal powder in a cup. Add enough water to make a semi-thick slush and drink it. The mixture will be gritty, but it won't have a foul taste to it.

Repeat this every 4-6 hours while awake.

The charcoal will absorb germs and bacteria in your body and allow you to get rid of them when you use the restroom.

on 11/22/2005 I find ingesting vinegar (usually with cucumbers) helps with killing the bacteria in my lungs. After ingesting the vinegar, I breath deeply, coughing until mucus is excreted out of mouth.

on 11/22/2005 Drink as much water as possible and immediately take a hot shower. Try coughing up mucus. The more steam, the better.

on 11/22/2005 Have the person with the Brochitis sit on your lap or in front of you
now with bolth hands pat them on the back about five times
then bring your ear down to their back and say ok now cough as hard as you can while coughing pat their back until lungs are clear

on 11/22/2005 Zinc lozenges; echinacea with goldenseal; Astragalus (immune booster); Vick's Vapo Rub or similar; lecithin; decaffeinated tea with honey; or Homedics Fountain or similar.
