⌛ Home remedies that actually work

I have spent well over P200,000.00 on hospitals and doctors here in Cebu because my daughter suffers from allergies which usually turns into bronchitis.
I think I have finally found a solution, but had to turn to a German pediatrition for the answer to our problem.
Marci has been in the hospital nearly every month or at least every other month since she was 1 year old and we were absolutely scared to death because the doctors were trying only adult treatments on her such as Combivent, which is known to speed up ones heart beat to dangerous levels.
The treatments, pneumonia shots and therapies were not helping.
I am proud to say that Marci has now gone 5 months without the need of a doctor or hospital due to this home remedy which also alleviates my Emphysema better than any nebulized drug ever has.
I bought a nebulizer compressor, tubing and nebulizer w/mask for around P2,900.
Then, I mixed 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt (iodized and table salts cannot be used due to the silica in them, added to keep them from sticking together) with 1 cup of hot water (I use distilled or bottled water only).
Dissolve the salt and fill the nebulizer bowl 1/3 full and start inhaling.
Normally, 10 minutes is long enough if you let your breath out all the way and breathe in slowly and deeply while using the nebulizer.
Within a couple of minutes, you will start coughing the phlegm up and within an hour your lungs will be clear.
Any questions, remarks or added remedies would be appreciated, as I am sure all of us want to be healthier and save money, not to mention using less drugs in our bodies and depend on safer, more atural cures.
Oh, I also shoot this mix up in Marci's sinuses with a full eye dropper when she starts to sneeze or her nose runs (my wife and use this too) and it clears the sinuses very quickly.

 

Glad that you found something that worked. I grew up as a kid with allergies and bronchitis to the point I was on medications and took allergy shots for 10 plus years. I hope and pray that our soon to be newborn son doesn't have to go through what I went through! The thing that amazes me is that, except for Dumaguete itself, I had no problems with my allergies or with bronchitis while I was there for a year. I was thinking, that with the tropical humid climate that there would be new pollens, molds and who knows what that my body would react to, but thank God that was not the case! I felt better there eating the not so heavily processed foods that are so common in the U.S. and breathing the cleaner air compared to So Cal!

 

Most allergies are inherited and my daughter was born with mine.
Our allergies are related to brown and black molds which are dangerous for any normal person the breathe, but is worse when one is allergic to them.
Normally ours reacts after a rain, when rotting wood starts to dry out and releases the mold into the air.
Our allergies are worse for us here in the Philippines, but the air in Dumeguete is cleaner, unlike the air here in Cebu with all of the steel plants, garbage burning and the traffic which also causes our lungs to burn and phlegm to form in them.

 

I'm a "home-remedy" skeptic, but I have seen undeniable proof that the local wild honey will completely alleviate allergy symptoms if taken on a regular basis like medicine.

2 tablespoons every morning cured a brutal and persistent allergy that my Son had.

I think it has something to do with the bees processing of certain types of pollens, but it could be that it works on all allergies.

When you see the local honey merchants, stock up and try it. Let us know of your results

 

As a matter of fact, I buy raw honey and we use it all the time.
Yes, it does help with certain allergies, but it also has "prebiotics" which fight the common cold and other types of virus/bacterial infections.
Cooked, filtered and those with water and sugar added are virtually worthless, it has to be raw and wild honey is probably the best you can get.

 

Something else that helps here is to use roll on deodorant on a mosquito bite.
It relieves the itch, something to do with the aluminum chlorhydrate (spelling?) in the deodorant drawing out the poison injected by the mosquito.

 

Have you tried a thing called a neti pot, this is like a small teapot and used for clearing sinuses, with the use of a warm saline solution, I have a kit, which does the same thing, but using a plastic bottle that squirst the solution into the nose, it really cleanse out the sinuses, I think these would be better than an eye dropper, as this method the solution goes in one nostril and out the other. Thanks for the info on the nebulizer, will try it out, as having some trouble with heavy colds.
Cheers TD

 

I haven't tried that one and from what you described, I would say it is along the lines of being a sinus irrigation device.
I would be glad to get one and try it if I could ask where they are sold.

 

Not sure where you would be able to get hold of a neti pot in the Philippines, but some of the upmarket drug stores in Cebu may have the NeilMed Sinus Rinse or something similar, this is the kit I use, has a plastic squeeze bottle and sachet of sodium cholride and sodium bicarb mixture, I find this kit pretty good Cheers TD

 

Remember that chicken soup Mom used to make when you had a cold?
There are reports worldwide that an enzyme in chicken does help dissolve mucous to a certain extent, which is good news and debunks a Filipino superstition that chicken causes a cough.
