Guest guest Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hey Kathy, My dad has serious lung problems (COPD) and is ventilator dependent, so we do a lot to keep his lungs clear and also to boost his immune system. So I'm gonna tell you what works for us. We've used most of these on the more " well " members of the family too. We have seriously gotten dad through full blown pneumonia at home, and in 3 days to boot. We use the total tonic. When we first mixed it up we used the mash and then as soon as it had " steeped " a couple weeks we switched to just the liquid as a tincture. The mash will make you gag, but it will also get you well! I recommend chasing it with grape juice. There are directions for making it and dosage on the website. Also, if you're both still sick you can puree fresh garlic and mix it with Vaseline and put it on your feet. We do that and put thick socks on for the night(yes, you're gonna stink!). The sulfur in the garlic helps oxygenate the blood (which pneumonia can prevent). Dad's respiratory therapist thinks the Vaseline probably also helps with circulation because it simply heats the feet up. I also recommend a super greens product. We've used several and I think that's what Doc's Total Nutrition mainly is. In addition to that, we use lots of Echinacea, Elderberry, and Vitamin C. We're on and off with fresh carrot juice, but it will definitely help with boosting immune system. Oh, I almost forgot...for lung clarity...until you're cleared up, stay away from dairy products. They increase secretions. Best wishes! Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
