The cough was very bad. Feels like theres something ticklish on my throat n makes me wanna cough it out but cant. At night, im not able to sleep, just cough n cough till i got cramps in the stomach. I looked up for the cure in this site. (i save this site on my desktop). I took 3capfuls of apple cider vinegar with my normal morning tea with either sugar or honey with warm water. In a couple of hours, my coughs lessen and the sore i felt in my throat from coughing felt better. My runny nose also stops n i fell soo much better..

My family got the swine flu at the end of August. For 6 weeks we passed that thing around each of us getting it more than once. One son had it for 3 days each week for 4 weeks and one ended up in the hospital with pneumonia. We all got over the fever fine, but 4 were left with nasty coughs that just wouldn't quit. I tried AVC, but my kids hated it so much that they wouldn't drink it consistently, so I bought a nebulizer online and used half drugstore H202 (1-2 ml) and half water (1-2 ml) in the medicine cup. I had them each inhale for about 10 minutes 2 times per day. Within 2 days they were 90% better, and the ones who still had a little cough were better in 3. And that was after coughing for 4-5 weeks. I think the little viruses were hiding in the lungs and then reappearing when they got their numbers back up. After I started the H202, no one had a reoccurence of the flu.

My doctor gave me three neubulizer treatments of 1 cc of 3% hydrogen peroxide (food grade) mixed with 3cc's of a saline solution .

I started the weekend with a garlic and onion soup, but didn't want to keep making that, so I ended up making a glass of cold water with about 2-3 tbsp of apple cider vinegar and about 1/2 tbsp honey. Cold water makes it hard for honey to mix, so I had to stir for a while. Immediately after the first sip, my cough stopped, and my throat did not hurt. I drank this throughout the day, sipping on it as I got thirsty and remaking the drink as needed. After about a day, I started adding 5 drops of grapefruit seed extract. Very bitter, so I had to increase the amount of honey, or add some stevia. The first night, I had a fever, and bundled up warmly. By the second night, I was almost better. I just had the aches a little.

He has a pacemaker and a stent right now. Nowadays he is presenting a serious problem of permanent cough apparently associated with heart, although physicians already removed all the lungs liquid (he was three weeks at the hospital), this cough persists, to the point that he is permanently connected to oxygen supply. He has lost 12 kilograms so far, and physicians only are expecting he improves physically at home to be able to do him a lung biopsy. These physicians have ruled out that it be a heart problem. Nevertheless, a biological physician has determined that is his heart and has requested an ecocardiography immediately. The patient subjective perception is the same. 1. Please, if someone has had a similar experience with this situation, I would appreciate any useful information, therefore I fear for my friend life. 2. If Ted or Bill, or another community member can recommend hydrogen peroxide inhalation to treat this ailment, I would like to hear from you. God bless you!

It is very informative. I try and use natural remedies first. I had cancer treatments done back in 2004. My husband seems to think they might have burned my lung with radiation and thus I have had a chronic cough since that time. They finally did a chest x-ray which showed some scarring. They claim it was not due to radiation but I still have a cough and was wondering if anyone else on here might have had a similar incident and what did they do? Or do you have any recommendations for me? Thank you in advance. I have referred many people to this website. julia" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/coughs.html&name=VICKS_30598 /CURES/coughs4.rss9 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 04:25:27 EDT [NAY] Dat from Waipahu, Hi writes: "Rubbing Vicks on the soles of the feet appears to work sometimes, if you're so tired that you'd probably pass out anyway. I did this for my son several times. The first time, it worked fine, but it was 3:00 in the morning and he had been coughing all night. He finally fell asleep and stay asleep for several hours before waking with another coughing fit. The next few nights that I tried it, sometimes it helped him sleep a few hours before waking again, sometimes it did nothing at all. I tried it for myself and it didn't help me at all." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/coughs.html&name=ALICIA_30281 /CURES/coughs4.rss10 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 09:32:47 EDT [YEA] Alicia Martines from Asheville, NC writes: "Red Onion. I am from Mexico, and my mother recommended me a red onion home made syrup for nagging coughs. My first son had a times a cough that would never really go away. My second son was an extremely premature baby and therefore with "weak" immature lungs. I used this homemade syrup after trying everything, including various homeopathic formulas. The original syrup calls for sugar but I have replaced it with honey or stevia. The onion has to be RED onion and I give it to my children either as lung strengthener or as medicine qwhen they do have a cough or cold. Ingredients 1 big red onion washed and peeled. sweetener (brown sugar, stevia, honey) Cut the onion HORIZONTALLY in slices. Start at the base of the onion. Lay the newly cut base and place base in a bowl. Add a layer of the stevia or honey in here. GO easy as you have many layers to go and the sweetener from the top layers will eventually sip through the bottom layers Repeat until the whole onion has been cut and reconstructed on the bowl. Let it rest for at least 15 hrs at room temperature. I do it overnight. Next day I have a bowl with about half a glass of "syrup". Children like the sweet taste. It doesn't taste like onion at all.

First, add 1-2 tea bags (depending how strong you like your tea) to hot water and dip until the tea is all out of the bag. Next, add the honey, i usually add 1-2tablespoons but you can add it to taste if you would like too. For the best results i have found using 2 tablespoons sometiems 3 works the best though.

He woke up with a sore throat in the morning. He took the cayenne pepper in orange juice to get rid of the sore throat. It worked like a charm!! Then he asked me if there was a good remedy for a cough. I found your info on using a 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide and thought we would give it a try. I had 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in the house so I mixed it up according to the direction: 2oz of 35% HP with 22 oz of distilled water = 3% HP. We put it into misting bottles and he proceeded to inhale this in the evening. He woke up early Saturday morning feeling much better! His sore throat is gone, and his cough is almost gone too. This stuff is awesome!! I feel this would be totally effective on any kind of Swine/Bird flu. We are grateful for this wonderful web site!

The doctors gave him antibiotics that did not seem to help. I felt like the cold went away on its own. My grandmother told me about the onions. My second and third children never had to take antibiotics. I would take a onion or part of onion about the size of a golf ball and grate up in a bowl.Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Cover and put in the fridge for 45 minutes. The sugar draws the syrup out of the onion. I would then take a dropper full and give to the child. It does not taste bad (try it yourself). It clears their chests and helps them sleep. I never had a problem with using it. Now when I feel like I am getting a cold I always eat more raw onions.

And I spritzed a little ACV on both sides of his pillow. He coughed once, and then nothing. Slept through the whole night without a single cough. Upon waking up he coughed a little bit but nothing like the days before. My husband is also recovering from some bad sinusitis and he began coughing last night as well, so once we saw that it worked for our little boy, we tried the same with him, only both halves of a (freshly cut) onion. And it was like pressing the "mute" button! No more coughing till like 5 a.m. I think the vapors wear off and it wasn't enough for the entire night for my husband, so tonight I'll try slicing another chunk off the onion when the cough restarts. I had previously tried just the onion or just the ACV but I hadn't noticed much improvement. With both it was a really dramatic change, a mute button!" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/coughs.html&name=ACV_23278 /CURES/coughs4.rss24 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 00:00:00 EST SHELLEY from KELOWNA, BC, CANADA writes: "My partner has acid reflux (apparently) and has never had heartburn!
