I've been following Jack's lung tea with Mullein, Hyssop, Vinegar, Cayenne.

Husband is reluctant to take it, but trust me it's good sent! Good breathing had improved and wheezing doesn't bother me at night(I usually can hear the wheezing in the quiet of night).

Please stick to it, trust me it works🙏

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.

Hi Robert, after seeing confusion from his recipe, Jack clarified he used the whole top of the plant, the flowering stalks where the seeds are. He described them also as the dark stalk, so yes you can use whatever state the plant is around your area. Many have used the leaf when they couldn't get the pods. The hyssop and lobelia he used were powdered, if you have fresh or crushed then I would just increase the amount like in cooking you use much less herb if it is dried compared to fresh. And if you don't have all the ingredients I wouldn't worry, start with what you do have, obviously the main ingredient is mullein, you will get benefit, then add in the others as you acquire them.

Hope this helps.

Jack,

I found this website purely by accident by doing a search for emphysema. Three years ago my wife suffered a bad cold which in turn became bronchitis and then pneumonia. She was treated with antibiotics for about a month but her health was never the same. She developed allergies and then the symptoms of asthma. She was put on various steroid medications along with inhalers. Sent from one doctor to another until finally told that she suffering from Emphysema. How could a once healthy runner who rarely caught a cold develop into Emphysema? I didn't buy it and questioned each doctor. Believe me they do not take lightly that you question them. Each time I was told that the symptoms are there and that we will treat the systems. Telling us that nothing else can be done other then medication.There is no cure plain and simple. Here I am searching the internet for any information that can find. I come across Earth Clinic and find this thread with Jack's recipe. This is something I want to explore. I ordered the herbs all in powdered form except for mullein. They didn't have it in powdered so I purchased it in herb form.

Made it as per the instructions. Put all the herbs into a nylon stocking and boiled until about a pint had evaporated. This was my first time making this so I didn't know what to expect. The mixture was a dark reddish brown. There was a large amount of fines in the pot which needed to be filtered. I used a funnel and cheese cloth to filter. The cheese cloth takes out a great deal but some of the fines manage to pass through. As you get to the bottom of the pot the process does get slower since most of the fines are on the bottom. The mixture was still cloudy so I decided to use unbleached coffee filters. At first the flow is quick but begins to slow down as it picks up the fines. Change the filter and continue until complete. When I was finished I had two full pints and one three quarters full. The final color was a dark red brown which was clear. One thing you need to know is when buying cayenne red pepper. There is a heat value that you need to take into consideration. I purchased 30,000IU which is about the lowest heat unit. And that still is quite hot since Tabasco sauce is 5,000IU. I was lucky since I had no idea what the IU meant before I had purchased it. Another thing is that I am debating as to whether I should have purchased in herb form verses powdered. I am still waiting on information or email on some questions that I have from who I had purchased this from. They have two products that can be used for placing the herbs in while boiling. One is called a Muslin herb bag and is washable and reusable. It also comes in several sizes. The other is called Press N brew bags which are similar to tea bags. This also comes in different sizes. Using these would cut down on the amount of fines. At the moment I just started giving the Jack's formula to my wife. I do have some high hopes that she will have some improvements. Hopefully I made everything correctly.

I purchased everything from Monterey Spice.

Last but not least I want to thank Jack for so kind and considerate for posting this recipe.

Yes this is truly amazing. My sis makes the recipe for a friend who was house bound. He now is traveling and helping with missions through his church. He is in his 70's. I use the recipe for myself as well. Worked in a knitting mill and developed a cough. Ended up quitting because of it. Ready to whip up another batch this week. Its a must have..........

I tried Jack's recipe and guessed that since it called for a gallon pot to make the tea, that I should add close to a gallon of water. The resulting tea has helped my husband a lot.

Thanks! Ann

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

Please accept my apologies for not being more active on this site. I'd Just Like to let you know the title of "Jack's healing formula" is for real and I can and will help all those I can!

I put up the complete formula on http://Earthclinic.com because I felt they would not try to capitalize on peoples health problems. And I was correct!

Mullein, as Jack says is truly invaluable.

I was selling mullein at a small stand when an elderly man came up to me and told me to keep it up. "That is great stuff. I had serious emphysema and was on oxygen all the time. I got to the place where I could hardly leave the house. Then someone told me that I should drink 3- 4 cups of mullein leaf tea daily. I thought it was too good to be true, that after all my years of doctoring and herbs one little leaf tea could help me, but I was desperate. I did it faithfully and very soon, I was off my oxygen able to get around again. It was a God-sent blessing to me. "

This was just the leaf that he used and not the tops. But each part of the mullein is helpful.

So if you cannot find the tops, try a quart of the leaf tea daily. I would add peppermint to make it taste nicer. Use 1/4 cup of mullein leaf and 2 bags of peppermint to a quart of boiling water. Turn off the heat and let it steep, covered for 15- 20 minutes. Strain and sweeten and add ice or drink hot. I would also take cayenne capsules 2 with each meal to increase circulation and help the mullein to work better.

I'd been going through bad infection since the end of this past January. Started with a very bad abscessed tooth that blew up my face. Took 2 weeks treating holistically to get it down. Got about a week break, then it moved to the other side of my face. Took only 4-5 days to get that controlled. Finally went to the dentist & he put me on antibiotics before he'll pull my teeth. Started that & went into sinusitis, a virus? I'm 60 years old & Wednesday night I had some kind of full blown asthma/bronchitis attack? Never happened before. My neighbor was thankfully there & hit me with an inhaler. I thought I was going to die. It was very scary. My lungs completely shut down! Today my chest was so tight I could hardly move, wasn't sure what to do but pray. Holy Spirit had me remember your recipe I had once read on EC. I had all the herbs, including the Mullein tops I harvested last summer. I whipped up a batch & I am completely cleared up tonight & have the strength to write to let you & everyone know, It Worked! Opens the lungs right up!

Thank you Thank you THANK YOU Jack for passing this along......here's a big ol' hug & lots of love coming your way :)

Gwen

HELLO JAMI FROM ADRAIN MICH;

The "seeds" are not the part of the plant used "IT'S THE ENTIRE "SEED POD" OR "TOPS OF THE GREAT MULLEIN PLANT, which in the latter fall and winter months looks like a long black stick along highways or RR tracks,usually the leave's at the bottom will be dried and brown and at times you'll see some mint green leaves at the bottom of the plant which feels fuzzy like velvet,the seeds them selves can be transplanted most anywhere but they like well drained areas, and they only blossom in the 2nd season.They then grow anywhere from 3-6 feet or even more in some states,. and the seeds are about this size Jami ( . )

Just look up "pictures of Great Mullein plants" I break off the "SEED PODS" or just under the area where the flowers started growing and use the "ENTIRE POD OR TOP OF THE PLANT WHERE THE FLOWERS "HAD BEEN"

When the terrible outbreak of Tuberculosis in Ireland around 1900, Great Mullein was the primary way they used to clear the lungs of "TB" made into a tea,"But I've added more to it, and it "WORKS EXCEEDINGLY WELL, JUST ASK SHARON S FROM CONN.

She started taking my formula in June of 2008, I believe. She told me her Dr.told her, "Your lungs are clear, and your breathing is fine "!!

Hello Jamie,

I think the mullein plant grows quite rampantly in most of the United States, so why don't you either get you a good book on identifying herbal plants or go on line to see if you can't find a picture of it.

You can usually spot it at roadsides as you drive along the rural areas roads. Just learn to identify them by the roadside, but take a short hike in the woodland areas to pick those seed pods which should be ready to pick in the next couple of months. The reason to not gather them from the roadside, is you don't want all the pollution they absorb from the automobile exhausts fumes. Seed pods mean exactly what it says. It is the pods containing the seeds and these will be found on the mullein plant on the tall stalk from the central part of the plant that bloomed and forms the seeds after the blooms.

I almost completely ruined my lungs from years of smoking. Jack sent me his packet and it gave good and immediate symptom relief. Unfortunately he was unable to send more (a few months back), but I can tell you that the formula really did help.
