Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Tabby, Take a hot & cold shower with the water aimed at your chest. 3 minutes as hot as you can take it, 30 seconds as cold as you can take it, then switch back to hot again. Do this at least 4 times, ending with hot so you aren't chilled. This gets the blood circulating in the area that is having the problem. Heat drives the blood towards it, cold pushes the blood away - gets the immune system moving good and increases white blood cells to help fight the infection. You can also look up fomentations in the old postings or hydrotherapy on the web. Sorry I don't know herbs well enough to suggest something.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I don't know anything about lung problems, I hope I never have to, but maybe you might want to read about colloidal silver. I read it helps with alot of problems. herbal remedies , " tabitha " <tabitha.wilbur wrote: > > Hi all, i think i have a lung infection, im coughing up green stuff > and i can feel it from deep within my lungs, what can i do about this, > im breastfeeding so im a little nervous and i dont want antibiotics.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 If I had a lung infection I would nebulize with 20-30% DMSO/70-80% Colloidal Silver several times a day. To my knowledge it is safe while breastfeeding, but do a bit of research just to be sure (or maybe Doc can weigh in?). I would second and third swallowing a lot of chopped, fresh garlic in olive oil as well. You really need to take in several cloves at a time. If it's too hard for you (it is for my hubby) try Vanessa's "garlic recipe" posted earlier. We just cured our rat of an inner ear infection (caused by the mycoplasm they carry) by doing this very thing. We've also used it successfully in the past.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hi Tabitha, We put the rat in a small box with a hole cut in it for the nebulizer, treating her for approx 5-8 minutes, twice a day with 30% DMSO/70% Colloidal Silver. We also put garlic/mullein drops in her ears but I'm unsure of how much got in there to actually be effective. Rats are pretty squirmy. lol We fed her a lot of high water fruits as we weren't sure of her ability to navigate to the water bottle. She was at the head tilt/rolling stage of the ear infection and this cleared it up in two days. As of yesterday she has no more tilt, no more runny eyes, no more congestion. And she's a pretty old girl, pushing 2 years. With this success I would treat humans the same way. -Raine tabitha wilbur wrote: how did you cure the ear infection? -- Join our club and swap paperback books for FREE - PaperBackSwap.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I forgot to mention that I also put a fair amount of CS in the rat's water bottle, and we sprayed her eyes/face with CS whenever we handled her. We are still nebulizing her and keeping the CS in her water. I add this because I think all components are important, and my experience will hopefully help someone else with a sick pet or person. -Raine Raine wrote: Hi Tabitha, We put the rat in a small box with a hole cut in it for the nebulizer, treating her for approx 5-8 minutes, twice a day with 30% DMSO/70% Colloidal Silver.
