I thank all of you for your prayers and messages this has been a long couple weeks with my gramps passing but I know he's alright.....The day he pasted he saw his mom (mind you she died when he was 9 yrs old) he also said heaven is beutiful then past a few hours later.

So during this whole sadness I came down with bronchitis and cant get rid of it.Any suggestions?I cant seem to shake it with steam .

Hi melissa:

Maybe if a couple of us pray you will start feeling better. (Take some extra vitamin C too.) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

try echinacea (tea or extract), goldenseal (root extract), and mullein (tea, steam, or extract). one or either or all.

and rest. on a warm sunny beach. soak in the salt water...

grapefruits are in prime season in your neighborhood. Tangerines are loaded with folic acid. i love starfruit. Lychee nuts are loaded with vitamin C, in season now too.

hi melissa

I can't take anti-biotics so have had to learn how to get rid of infections. For the chest, use steam every hour, in a bowl with a towel over your head breathing in deeply. You can add a few drops of eucalyptus, if it does not irritate. Rest is very important. Then you can make a tea from dried lotus root or squeezed fresh with freshly squeezed ginger. This will expel mucus and reduce swelling. Echinacea drops every hour too until symptoms ease if you do not have an overactive immune system.

Drumming! I find drumming is ideal! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/playdrums.gif" alt="" />

Antibiotics should be your total and utter last resort. Really try hard to avoid them, as they will screw yr digestion up for a long time. Very much out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Take real good extra care of yourself now. Lots of Vit C. upto bowel tolerance. 10-15 grams per day. whatever you can handle. All other herbal remedies you can think of and are recommended.

Take care
