Guest guest Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 Hi Suzie, She cant have anything that is spicy as she has a hiatus hernia and that goes with garlic as it gives her a lot of problems. I have a formula I already have for her that seems to be doing OK but because she has been taking it for about 8 month now I finding it is not as affective as what it used to be. I have currently added lobelia tincture to her formula which also has mullein, white horehound, echinacea, wild cherry bark and elecampagne. But was trying to see if there is something else that can be anti-infective and anti-inflammatory as well as sedative properties for the lung linings, bronchioles, bronchial tubes and the wind pipe. Asthma preparation on the norm does not work as they tend to open up the airways and with bronchiectasis the airways are permanently opened. She also takes codeine linctus as this is the only thing that causes her to settle the cough but codein linctus lont term is habit forming and also causes constipation, which she can't afford to get as she had bowel cancer a few years ago and had part of her large bowel removed and with all bowel cancer people they cannot risk being bulked up incase or the cancer returning. Wendy (Australia) total tonic and lots of garlic cloves, lobelia and mullein. " Wendy .

The patient is 76, female, had pneumonia twice and whooping cough as a child and never smoked in her life. X-rays show scarring of the lungs. http://personals..au - Personals New people, new possibilities. FREE for a limited time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
