We have been together since March 10th, I think. My Cpni protocol and I that is. After a year and a half of Lyme treatment, in March Azith was added and INHi in April.
At first I felt pings and zings in the chest cavity. Then came the INH with a major herx over a weekend. Shoulder pain and more chest discomfort. My nose began to run on Monday Wednesday and Friday with the Azith. And to think I didn't believe CPn and I co-existed. I had been shocked when my blood test showed significant titers. Who me??? I don't ever have respiratory symptoms. Chest colds are foreign to me.
This week I have developed a wheeze. Colorado days are mostly dry. However with the change of seasons, we had a drizzly one this week. The moisture seemed to bring it out of me. I had a tickle and non productive cough that day. But the weather was dry and windy the next (the day of my doctor visit) and the wheeze seemed to have almost vanished. He could only slightly hear something in there.
Nevertheless, last night I woke up to a thickness in my throat; and again in the morning. I had a cough as well. There is something there. It just does not want to leave. I can't seem to get a productive cough. Today I can cough and hear/feel it in there, but it is not breaking up with me.
Are there any natural expectrants??? I don't want to take in any more chemicals.
What are your experiences?

Hi Nomad, Herbal
Hi Nomad,
Herbal expectorants. We use the herb Osha in my family. It is a very effective expectorant. It can be made into a tea (simmer 1 tsp 20 min. in 1 cup water). Add lemon and honey. Maybe drink 3 cups a day. Fennugreek seeds also make an effective expectorant tea. 1 tsp in 1 cup water simmered 20 min., drink 3-4 cups a day.
drink hale!
