Respiratory Infection

I'm just getting over a bad respiratory infection, had me on my ass for a full week. It's finally clearing up, though this morning I was hocking up chunks of phlegm so huge and solid I thought it was chunks of lung at first. Either way, I'm feeling much better even if I am still coughing so hard I might blow a nut through the floor.

I've been taking glutamine because, so far as I know, it's the only supplement that has a decent effect on the immune system. Any other recommendations from you guys, specifically for helping me clean out my lungs perhaps? This is fucking horrible.

On a side note, I sound like Carl from Sling Blade now because of all the coughing. It's fucked up and painful, but also amusing at the same time.

Gonna git me some 'roids mmmmmhhmmmmm.
 
Sorry to hear it bro, hope you recover fully soon. I like the effect of the Vaspro Ephedrine when I'm hockin that crap up. Opens up the lungs a bit and the expectorant helps get that crap outta there. $.02 :)
 
NAC helps liquify mucus and get it moving..also boosts immune function a little.

An herb extract of Yerba Santa is excellent for opening the lungs and expectorating. I've used it for bronchitis and it really helped.
 
It sounds as if you may be beyond of point of needing an antimicrobal treatment for lung infection but if you do now or again, try the grocery store cooking herb Thyme.

I used to get yearly cases of Bronchitis, and heaping tablespoon sized doses of the dried leaf every few hours (2 -4) shot down with water was very effective for clearing my lung infections up fast. It It's also very good for stomach/intestinal conditions.
 
Oregano is pretty good for this as well. During my last flu/bronchitis outbreak I brewed it into a strong tea. It actually tasted pretty nice..not like oregano really and it opened up or at least soothed my lungs quite well.

I imagine a lot of the aromatic spices..tyme, rosemary, oregano have similar compounds.
 
I had to forego the ephedrine, not a stumulant guy right now considering my bp issues lately. However I did use the NAC and kept my glutamine up. Didn't think it was making a difference. But, right now I'm better and everyone else who got sick at the same time as me is still sucking down theraflu and sucking Halls like crazy, and I'm doing pretty good. My voice is even almost normal again.

Thanks for the advice guys, it just may have helped.
 
I know I'll probably get flamed, but for killing off the bugs colloidal silver worked really well for me. My last bronchitis outbreak was treated solely with CS and the aforementioned herbs and aminos. I have NEVER gotten rid of this infection without antibiotics before so I was impressed with that. I did have to take a higher dose than anticipated..like 4 0z per day but once I got to that dose I sweated it out very quickly.

OK bro, this WILL work. It will suck to be you for 3 minutes but you will be sooo thankfull you know me.

***WARNING*** this is harsh.

Go get some Vicks vapor rub creme, the strongest crap they have.

Boil a pot of water.

Drop a few Tablespoons of the vapor rub in the boiling water.

Carefully bring the concoction to the sofa and place it on the floor (don't burn yourself silly)

Take a towel, and put it over your head and the water. Breath in slowly, all the way in to your lungs.

You will now puke your guts out and fill the pot with all the phlem in your lungs.

It very intense, very nasty, and very usefull.

Please becarefull though, and report back.:run:
 
Those Vicks shower tabs work OK as well. They are actually pretty harsh at first but likely not as harsh as the methol-a-thon Refried is prescribing, lol.
