5 out of 5 stars

here's the formula i used for curing a bad case of emphysema for "willard booth" of marion ark 12 yrs ago. into a gallon pot, put the seed pods (tops) of 6 "great mullein" plant, bring to a boil, add 3 tbls of powered "lobelia", and also "hyssop" 1 oz of white apple cider vinegar, 2 tbls of powdered cayenne red pepper. keep boiling until about a pint of water has boiled off, (it will turn dark or reddish like coffee). let cool until you can strain (i used a nylon stocking). sweeten with sugar or honey to taste this will keep in frig for a week or more ( look up "great mullein" and you'll be surprised at what all it can do!). hyssop and lobelia are great expectorants!! i had willard take 3 pop bottle caps a day but you can take more it won' t hurt you, you can also use a heating pad on chest and do a number of "vigorous exhales" for about 15 minutes after taking .... good luck and god bless...

hi Hassan,

When you are buying from Ebay, buy it from a rated seller.

Jack's Tea works for emphysema, copd, bronchitis, cattarah.

I tried it for my bronchitis and it worked like a charm. I tried it without lobelia as I did not get it at that time and used Mulien Leaf not the pods. But still worked. It removes the congestion well and dissolves mucus build up.

You may have to prepare the tea and take till the symptoms subside and continue till you are cured may be 1 month or 2 months .

To buy You can contact http://www.healthyplanetcanada.com... it is a big healthcare store in Toronto, Canada. They do international shipping too call them and place an order. For immediate relief. Try 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Inhallation Method. It clears up the congestion in the 2nd minute. Good Health

I have never seen white apple cider vinegar. I cannot find it anywhere.

Where can this be purchased?

EC: Linda,

Most people use raw and organic apple cider vinegar for health issues, including lung issues, so just look for a quality organic apple cider vinegar that has "the mother" in it.

Yes, I think he means a gallon.

Here is a more detailed version of the recipe:

Regarding Jack's post from 2006:

How many cups do you estimate are 6 tops of Mullein flowers?

Replied By Mama to Many (TN) on 03/16/2021

Dear Donna,

I have a lot of mullein that grows near me. I think 6 tops with pods would be a cup or two, not sure if he meant fresh or dried. But unless you have it growing near you, it may be hard to come by.

This Earth Clinic version of Jack's recipe elaborates the recipe and also uses mullein leaf instead of tops, which is more readily available and would share the healing properties that the pods/tops do. I use mullein leaf and love it.
