I will also use raw garlic juice on rashes and bug bites. It stops the itching immediately, and I pretty much use it for anytime I might need a phytoncide.

Garlic
Get a clean, small jar
Dice up a clove or 2---
Put it in the jar
Juice a fresh lemon or might need 2
Put the fresh juice in the jar with your garlic-
You want to have more juice than garlic, like a 50-50 or one third garlic....2/3 lemon juice--simply eyeball it-
Now you're ONLY going to take the liquid, not the diced garlic! Somehow the lemon juice extracts the potency from the garlic. Take one tsp 3-4 times / day always followed by water. Keep it refrigerated
And make a new batch every other day as needed, usually about a week at the most- can be used for insect bites---you see the swelling go down in under 5 minutes, etc
Try it
No garlic breath and the benefits of citrus together with it.

Red pepper sauce will also help. I currently have these terrible coughing jags and it seems a good swig of pepper sauce stops the cough for a good while. I keep the bottle on the kitchen table with a whiskey shot jigger...just pour some in and down the hatch. It doesn't burn and what a relief. It's better than any of the high price stuff that advertises your cough will be gone in so many hours.

Mix one tablespoon of FRESH ginger and one tablespoon salted fermented butter.

Lung conditions like asthma tend to deplete the body's natural stores of the master antioxidant Glutathione. As one ages, Glutathione deficiency starts reeking havoc on the body. The sensitivity or reaction to the glue is evidence of this deficiency. To boost Glutathione, supplement NAC 1 grm every morning, Selenium 200 mcs w/ evening meal (or eat Brazil Nuts daily), and 3 mg Melatonin before retiring. Hawthorn herb will improve lung function.
You can also purchase Reduced Glutathione powder and nebulize daily to restore the lung GTH levels. Many physicians recommend this treatment and some have demonstrations on YouTube.

Cabbage and Honey
★★★★★
I month ago I had a terrible pain in my chest, it felt like a very sharp pain, I knew I had bronchitis. After couple days my symptoms got worse and my mom recommended to use cabbage leaf with little bit of honey. Each night I would put cabbage and tiny bit of honey on my chest covered with parchment thin paper (compress) and went to bed. As I woke up I felt such a relief!!! I stopped coughing, the pain was gone and all the bad stuff was coming out of me, I would ran to bathroom and spit out some greenish mucus :( I did that remedy for about 4 days and I was so happy for my cure! Cabbage is such a great vegetable! If you have sensitive skin put very tiny bit of honey, not too much! Make sure to avoid the heart area to put honey.
I'm glad I didnt take any antibiotics!
Garlic
Let me try to answer your questions in order: "Jay, did you swallow the chopped garlic on an empty stomach, or did you eat before taking it? After swallowing it, and drinking the cup of water, what reaction followed in your body?"
Raw garlic is a broad-based natural antibiotic. The way I and others have used it to clear up chest /lung congestion is to crush and chop 2 medium or 3 small cloves and let sit for 5 minutes to let the enzymes start to work. Then I put these finely chopped pieces in a tablespoon and into my mouth. At this point I swallow as many times as necessary to swallow the complete amount of garlic and follow with 6 to 12 ounces of plain water. For me I do this on an empty stomach and have no after effects other than the obvious garlicy breath.
I followed this procedure daily for a couple of weeks and eliminated a lingering congestion problem that didn't seem to want to clear up on its own(which I thought might be leading to the more serious condition COPD.
Since then, at the first sign of any chest congestion I follow this procedure for a couple of days for a quick resolution of the problem.
To me the key elements of this treatment are 1. - raw garlic, 2. - crushing and chopping allows the enzymes to start working, 3. -continuing the treatment on a daily basis(and ignoring the social implications of garlic odour :) ) until original congestion symptoms are gone.
------
Your second question : "Were there stomach cramps, hotness of the stomach, stooling or vomitting."
I certainly have never experienced any of these reactions and would strongly suggest that anyone experiencing any of these stop the process and explore other treatment options. There are several other natural products that help eliminate chest congestion; garlic just happens to be very easy and very inexpensive.
------
Your third question: "Will this be good for a woman, that has lost a lot of weight, and has chest pain?"
Now this question confuses me as chest pain suggests a different problem entirely. The above addresses chest congestion which entails some breathing difficulty along with coughing up mucus/phlem with these symptoms persisting beyond the normal 1 week chest cold variety.
Chest pain needs a more detailed investigation and is not something that can be addressed properly via internet chat.

Some side effects which I consider to be cleansing symptoms: nausea, sleeplessness and skin breakouts, but I did start on a high dose of 20 grams a day. After three weeks no more 'side effects'.
My energy has greatly increased, I feel quite euphoric every day now. The only time I had that kind of euphoria was by drinking three glasses of organic green juices a day. I think people on heavy medications, mercury fillings, toxic diet are going to have more difficulties with it, so building up from a small dose with extra vitamin C and plenty of pure water will help.
The other supplement that really helps is Vitamin D3, I take 16,000iu liquid daily, no colds for two years now and my chronic bronchitis of 20 years has disappeared. Some years it was mild, others severe, triggering serious asthma attacks.
So the combination of Vitamin and MSM has been miraculous for me. This great website encouraged me to try MSM. Thanks so much.
p.s. Brushing my teeth with MSM has whitened them.
Hot Cooking Spices

A year ago, I was diagnosed with chronic Bronchitis - COPD, so severe that my ears turned blue from lack of Oxygen. My blood pressure was very high, too. The DOT immediately yanked my Health card for driving truck. When I went to the Dr. my Oxy saturation level was 81. He put me on an inhalor and I had to use a Nebulizer several times a day. Nothing really changed. I could breathe a little better, but was still able to walk only for short distances. I love to cook, and tried to think of the healthiest people that I know. I started cooking with spices from China, India, and other Asian areas. I use curry powders (in various heat ranges), Tumeric, Cayenne, Garlic, Ginger, Paprika, Mustard, Wasabi, and others. I use one or more of these ingredients in every meal, and most snacks, that I cook. About two months ago I had a physical, blood work, and EKG in preparation for surgery. My lungs no longer "wheeze" (I do have a bad day once in a while...but not DAILY); my blood pressure was normal; my Oxy sat level is 95 to 97 percent; (both) Cholesterols were at healthy levels, and, except for my COPD, I am as healthy as can be! The best result of eating all that good, spicy-hot, healthy food is that I can walk at least a half a mile without "running out of breath." I have NEVER posted to any Website but feel that people should be aware of the benefits of spices and herbs. I have now found a local store that sells 1 pound packages of spices, instead of paying $4 to $7 in grocery stores for those little bottles. The savings are phenomenal. This is the best site that I have found that re-enforces my belief in hot foods. Thank you EARTH CLINIC

Last year I started to get boils about three to four a month. Started to take turmeric (capsul form)it took care of the boils. I've been taking one capsul every day since and not had any outbreaks until I take a break for a few days from all supplements, vitamins and the turmeric. I then feel a boil coming on and resume my regimine and feel fine after a couple of days.
DMSO, Colloidal Silver

Second bout of acute bronchitis and asthma flare up this winter in past 48 hours, combined with a cold.
Symptoms: Initially severe sore throat for 24 hours. Then cold symptoms, rhinitis, sneezing, running nose, blocked / inflamed nose, struggling to breath via nose. Tight chest, heavy feeling at top of chest, Rales (also called crackles). Struggled to sleep due to congestion. Exhausted, low mood.
Just FYI: I do not manage asthma with steroids and rarely use (relief) salbutamol inhalers. Have been relying on Buteyko breathing and other forms of anti-inflation.
I had very good results within 24 hours using the following:
Colloidal silver is a powerful and natural antibiotic.
Colloidal silver used with DMSO is a potent combination, given DMSO's nature. Along with amplifying substances and giving them greater access to tissues, DMSO is bacteriostatic (meaning it inhibits bacteria). This combination can be used to deal with any level of infection systemically or topically.
DMSO has antimicrobial properties, is a muscle relaxant, Increases production of white cells and macrophages, important cells for the immune system, Increases cell membrane permeability, allowing for removal of toxins, Is an effective pain killer, blocking nerves conducting pain signals and importantly is Reduces inflammation and swelling by affecting inflammatory chemicals.
Sources: Healing with DMSO by Amandha Vollmer, her book is a must have.
The below is a combination of Amandha's advice and my own experimentation.
Topical solution:
50% DMSO (15ml) + 50% distilled water (15ml). Added 10ml of 15ppm Colloidal silver. 3 Drops of iodine (make sure nascent for use with c/silver).
Applied this to chest and bridge of nose.
Note: You would normally want 70-80% DMSO but I find the reaction on my skin too great, so I went for a lower amount. But applied regularly. 4-6 times a day, especially before bed.
Always clean skin before applying as DMSO will carry anything it touches into your blood stream.
I like apply with a brush (make sure the brush is not made of synthetic fibres and does not have dies in it, as DMSO is a solvent and will leach these and take them into your blood street). But also sometimes use cotton wool. You can apply with your hands, but then you have to be careful what you touch and not wash your hands with water for 20 mins.
Apply a thin layer on, allow it to dry, do not put clothes on or touch any fabrics washed in detergents until its dry and ideally for up-to 20 mins.
It can be very itchy and even a bit sore, try not to use your fingers as it'll soak in to your skin and you then have to be careful what you touch as mentioned above, have some clean and wooden nearby to deal with any itching for first 10-20mins.
I then normally apply pure aloe vera to reduce itching and soreness.
Sinus Rinse:
Normal saline netti pot. 10ml of DMSO 1/2 of c/Silver.
I don't go too crazy with this, my nose cavity was not only stuffed up with mucus but also was inflamed to point I could barely breath. This solution reduced the swelling and allowed me to breath. I used it every time it got blocked probably every 2-3 hours.
As soon as I could breath fairly normally and my nose stopped running I stopped this. I prefer to let the body do its own thing as much as possible and not nuke everything with anti-bacterial agents like c/silver.
Nebuliser:
I'm cautious what I inhale, I have tried c/silver and glutathione and saline before. And very low dose hydrogen peroxide and saline. The latter made wheezing worse.
After getting a good response from topical application to the chest. I tried the following and had excellent results:
33% DMSO (1.25ml) 67% Distilled water (2 x 1.25ml) + then added 2.5ml c/silver to that solution.
I nebulized this in two sessions an hour or so apart.
This cleared chest and stopped wheezing almost immediately and had a calming effect. Cough became productive and some dark yellow phlegm came out. The heavy feeling in upper chest reduced. There was still a cough but the rales and crackles stopped within in a few minutes, which I assume is the anit-inflamatory effect of DMSO.
On second session.
5ml DMSO / 5ml distilled saline water / 5ml C/silver.
I did this 3 times a day and reduced the topical application to 3 times.
A note on timings of my experiments:
Sore throat appeared Thursday night. Friday morning cold and nose issues. And by end of the day cough. Saturday chronic cough and nose issues. I was taking DMSO for a pain condition, so it was already in my system.
Started DMSO protocol above Saturday with topical applications to chest and nose area. And then nasal rinses in the afternoon.
By Sunday morning, there was a marked improvement and managed to get a full nights sleep on Saturday after waking up and having poor sleep due to breathing difficulties and discomfort Thur-Friday.
Sunday applied topical solution to chest and nose first thing. An hour later, nebulised. By Sunday lunch time there was a significant improvement after 3 nebulising sessions and two topical application to the chest. Whilst still a bit stuffy, have been able to breath through nose all Sunday.
Extremely successful intervention on this occasion.

Breathe steam! You can do that just by taking a hot shower, of course. Or pour steaming-hot water into a bowl and lean over it, draping a towel over your head. Inhaling the steam will help loosen the secretions in your lungs.
To make the steam treatment even more effective, add a few drops of eucalyptus or pine oil to the water. Eucalyptus helps to soften mucus in obstructed airways and has some antibacterial properties. (If you want to use eucalyptus leaves, simply boil them in a pot of water, then remove from the heat and inhale the steam.) Pine oil acts as an expectorant, so it will help you “bring up” phlegm from the bronchial tubes.

I am sharing this formula with EC readers. It has been around for a very long time; however, most people have never heard of it. I have used this formula myself with great results and I will guarantee you will too.
Garlic is a digestive stimulant, an internal antiseptic and a gland regulator. Indicated in cases of colds, asthma, diphtheria, chronic catarrh, bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, malaria, worms, epilepsy, high blood pressure (take the oil of garlic), whooping cough, dropsy, fevers, gas, dyspepsia, hardening of the arteries, thyriod hypo-function, sinusitis, nerve depletion, and promotes the elimination and expectoration of phlegm and mucus. Garlic should not be eaten in any form if there is inflammation of the stomach and or bowels. – Medicinal Value of Natural Foods by Dr. W.H. Graves (D.C.)
Garlic has a beneficial effect on the lymphatic system, aiding in the elimination of noxious waste matter in the body, having the tendency to increase body-odor until such waste has been sufficiently eliminated. It is a valuable cleaner of the mucous membranes, particularly the lungs, the sinuses, the nose and the throat. For this reason it is a valuable food in pulmonary conditions, asthma, etc…

I only soaked my feet until the water cooled.
I am so much better for it though. Right now I feel totally well.
Sounds like a lot of work to do this for 6 hours?
But if it cures Pneumonia I would try it for 6 hours.

Since I had most of the remedy ingredients, I used them all. And this morning at 8 am I feel I am on the road to recovery. Pain is down by 80% and I am starting to feel like doing things.
i took the following at 10 pm last night and again at 5 am this morning. After 1 hour of the first dose I was able to go to sleep and make it through the night. 3 hours after the second dose and I am now feeling a whole lot better.
I took:1 tablespoon ACV
1 tablespoon of Honey that I get at a drugstore---truly pure
5 1000 mg pure garlic pearls
1 teaspoon of Propoleo extract
Heat a glass of water--400 ml-- mix all ingredients and drink. I took the garlic pearls while drinking the Acv honey tea. I will continue this plus my antibiotcs until the antibiotcs run out on Monday.
BELIVE ME IT WORKS. IF IT DID NOT I WOULD SAY THE REMDIES WERE BUNK. THEY WORK. I TRUST EARTH CLINIC
