Fly out to Thailand. It's just for one or 2 days.

I have been 'analysed' by the best private hospitals in BKK and Pattaya, and none of these specialist doctors were able to find anything wrong with my lungs!!

 

Even as I am coughing up copious amounts of green/yellow phlegm, they glibly announced that my lungs were all fine and x-rays show up no shadows or fluids in my lungs....

 

The same with the NHS doctors in the UK 18 months ago....

 

So I've learnt to live with this problem, and living in southern Thailand by the sea definitely minimises the symptoms.  But for charitable reasons, I'm back in Mandalay, Myanmar.  This weekend I'll buy some salt. During the day, I don't cough much, but it comes on at night when I lie down.  Hence sleeping with my bottom in the air and head over the end of the bed so the phlegm can come out more easily.

 

@Globalres, there are very few medicines available here in Myanmar, and Lazada etc do not deliver to this country. I'll see how it goes with salt gargling/nose washing (I did this previously in THailand and it does help).

Hmm, can I bring my Myanmar students with me?  I'm in Myanmar for a reason!

Does any 'one' of them have bronchial problems by any chance?

Isn't bronchitis a virus that is transmittable?

At the hospitals did they do a specified lung function test? Do you have the results of ERV, FVC and FEV1, or FRV1/FVC ?? And a Bodyplethysmography?

I have no idea! I explained my case history, the doctors took chest x-rays, lung function tests and sputum sample and analysis, and NHS, Bangkok Pattaya, bumrungrad hospitals declared that there was nothing wrong with my lungs and presented me (not NHS) with a bill! I expect my doctors to know what tests to perform, they are the doctor, not I!!

Righto, I bought some salt in the supermarket to gargle with, and (a big surprise!), the pharmacy had a bottle of imported 60 NAC tablets 🙂 priced at 70,000 kyat (which is between $14-$35), depending what exchange rate you choose to use.

Well, but still no Gods, even they try to make you believe it.

Yes, very true, but unfortunately my other doctor (Dr Google), was unable to help me either!

Dr. Berg on YT mentions a natural remedy below:

 

Here is the best natural remedy for phlegm in the lungs. Ingredients: 1 tbsp. onion juice 1 tbsp. honey (Manuka honey if possible) 2 tbsp. lemon juice Water Optional ingredients: 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar Ginger Add all of the ingredients to a cup of water and drink the mixture three times a day.

 

 

 

Dr. Berg is not a medical doctor but a  chiropractor. He claims to have knowledge to heal all deseases.

It might be some kind of allergy. I recently did an allergy blood test because of chronic problems with nose/throat and was surprised

about the result. I should avoid milk products, egg yolk, dust and all kind of other naturally occuring substances.

I gave you some ideas what is to test or was tested already. Maybe you got the tests and test results somewhere documented? At the doctor's, in some drawers? Laptop? Attached to your bill?

If not some sports would be good as well. Jogging, swimming, or gym. And if your saline therapy helps go on with it.

Yes, I know from experience that walking briskly and deep breathing (through a mask) helps to thin the mucus in my lungs. After 25 years of living with this problem I don't expect a cure, just enough respite to allow me to remain in Myanmar to do my charity work (2 years ago I was forced back to Thailand by very bad bronchitis when I was teaching in Yangon, the pollution was bad in the city ..)

Look in the mirror.  The irritant causing the bronchitus is you.  Which means with a simple adjustment you can fix it.

 

In the opening statement you make the comment "I have somewhat delicate lungs".  And you wonder why you have bronchitus? Your mind is creating the exact perfect breeding ground for your bronchitus to flourish. 

 

Nikola Tesla said most health ailments in your physical body originate in the intangible world of your mind (thoughts, feelings, emotions.)  To fix the problem, fix the mind. Flip around your internal dialogue via a prayer thanking God for giving you strong healthy lungs, 3 times daily.  Then link it to positive emotions of feeling healthy and not having to deal with the unpleasantness of bronchitus which gives you more energy to benefit your students.  

 

Tesla reports the wavelengths of energy created by your mind reverberates to your body which blindly obeys the invisible commands.   Just like wavelengths of light and sound and water are unseen. Healthy thoughts leads to healthy body.  Make it happen on purpose, by plan.  

 

Tesla says the secret to the universe is frequency, vibration and energy.  By adjusting the inner dialogue of your mind to health your immune system will obey as commanded and the bronchitus disappears altogether. 

 

Have you seen the frequency change experiments with grains of sand changing patterns on a plate above a speaker?  By changing the frequency wavelengths of your mind via prayer, you can change the makeup of your body leading to perfect health, at your will.  It's fascinating to create your desire.

^^^ Mark, please don't pollute this thread with your 'mumbo-jumbo'.

 

Well, having just started taking the NAC pills yesterday, I am cautiously very happy! Last night I was able to sleep without explosive coughing fits. This morning on my brisk morning walk, I was able to easily cough up thin mucus.  There definitely is a very positive difference 🙂
