hi again, glad to hear that maybe genomovar 2 could be eradicated from my system one day.........possibly........positive thinking eh!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
I was diagnosed when i was 19, although i'd had a nasty cough a lot since about age 13 or so (coincidentally when i stopped being extremely sporty and athletic!! prior to that it had not been an issue), but my obvious issue was malabsorption of food - basically i looked like an ethiopian.........all skin and bones except for a rather round tummy (VERY attractive!! haha). But once diagnosed i was in rebel mode and said cheers, give me those enzymes and i'll see ya round. Never went back, just kept taking enzymes and on the odd occasion i felt my cough was worse than usual I'd get oral antibotics from the doctor, maybe on average, once a year. I always coughed up a bit of gunk though, but not cups of the stuff like they'd led me to expect I would. Then in May this year I got way sicker than usual and couldn't seem to shake it, ended up in hospital with a pulse rate of about 140......hence my first sputum culture and my introduction to club intravenous. Once coming off my home IV's i felt better than I had in years and put on quite a bit of weight. I then decided constant toxic chemicals were not something i wanted to expose myself to on any sort of regular basis, essential times only, so set about researching natural therapy's and except for the two weeks I stopped taking it, I haven't been sick again since and have maintained my weight. I also stopped smoking when I got sick in May (i know i know...........shoot me later!!) and my cough is way better and i hardly bring up anything at all now. To be honest i don't really even do my physio regularly anymore - i was doing it twice a day when i first came out of hospital, now I just do it if I feel I need to.
The therapy i found is actually used for chronic bronchitis and is as follows:
Two times a day, through a facial sauna, I half fill the water repository with sterile water and add to it:
1-2 drops of Thyme Oil
1-2 drops of Clove Oil
1-2 drops of Cinnamon Oil
1-2 drops of Oil of Oregano (this is a new addition thanks to Sean Davis, but the other three worked fine on their own)
I then turn the sauna on steam and allow the mixture to boil and start giving off a good amount of steam. I then place my head over the steaming mixture, making sure none escapes out the sides and I breathe in the steam slowly and deeply for about 2-3 minutes, holding it in my lungs for a few seconds each time (some breaths through my mouth, some through my nose). At first it might be harsh, but in time it's easier, so if you're going to try it, do it gradually, a few breaths the first time is fine, even one if that's all you can take, work up to as much as you can handle and if it's too strong all together, only add 1 drop of each oil and add more sterile water until you can handle it better.
After that I take one teaspoon of colloidal silver and if I feel like it, i do my physio. I find the steam mixture apart from clearing my nasal passages and killing 75-95% of pseudomonas and staph bacteria, it also tends to liquify any mucous I have in my lungs allowing me to cough it up easier. The colloidal silver is also a wicked anti-bacterial and immune booster, just don't eve take more than 3 teaspoons of the stuff a day - you might end up turning silver!!!
Since doing this therapy, the only time i've cultured staph and pseudomonas again, was when I deliberately stopped doing this inhalation for 2-3 weeks as I wanted proof it was working............i ended up back on IV's, whereas all my cultures when I was using it, only grew cepacia. That's understandable, as none of these herbs ever claimed to kill cepacia bacteria, only staph, pseudos, virus's and yeasts. Apart from Pulmicort in the morning (if I remember) and the very occasional blast on my combivent, I don't take any other medications, just enzymes. I'm hoping that by not exposing myself to the strong chemicals such as Tobi very often, when I do need them, they'll really work well and my bugs won't build up too much resistance to them.
I'm more than happy to email the original document/recipe out to anybody who wants it - i purchased it off the internet - it talks all about the testing they did, the results, warns about potential allergies etc etc.<img src="i/expressions/devil.gif" border="0">
