Bronchitis and Arm Bumps

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

I need your help. I got a cold recently and it's gone

to my chest. I'm wheezing and hacking up mucus (sorry

to be graphic). My nose is very stuffed and

uncomfortable.

I'd usually drink lots of hot tea and sit in a steamy

room but it's been 100 degrees in this area and I'm

already hot and miserable.

I've been doing garlic snizzles but can't seem to

shake this chest cold. Any advice? I didn't see

anything in the files... hope I didn't miss anything.

Also, since I've been on the diet my facial acne has

cleared up for the first time since I was a teenager.

However I am still getting a lot of white bumps (like

acne) all over my arms.

I'm told this is called keratosis pilaris and is

blocked hair follicles. I'm told exfoliation works

well for this but it hasn't seemed to help me much. I

have also heard that vitamins help with this but I

wasn't told what kind.

Thanks for any advice you have.

Luv,

Debby

==>I feel for you Debby. I got bad chest mucus after my visit to my

parents, but it cleared up nicely drinking garlic tea, which has

lemon but I also added ginger to it. Years ago I cured pnemonia

drinking it for 3 days (4 cups per day), after two different kinds of

antibiotics and weeks of suffering.

==>Debby here's some other ideas:

-rub your chest with Vicks or Mentholatum or 1 tbls coconut oil with

5 drops of oil of oregano or clove oil. I wore old t-shirts so my

good clothes wouldn't get stained.

-I put H202 on a bandaid and taped it to my chest on each side just

above the breasts.

-Take extra niacin to increase oxygen levels in the blood.

-Up your vitamin C - take 4,000 mg immediately and at least 1,000 mg

every hour or do the Vitamin C flush.

-Also do sodium ascorbate (ascorbic acid cystals & baking soda - see

Vitamin C Folder) snizzles - putting it in your nose increases

absorption 1,000 times!

-Go on a liquid diet for 3 days or so, i.e. bone broths, soup, egg

drink, electrolyte drink, teas, etc.

-Ensure you're getting enough ocean sea salt for the minerals,

minimum of 1-1/2 tsp per day, and you could also increase it.

-It's hot so you can take cool epsom salt baths to get more magnesium

into your body.

-To cool down put your feet in cool epsom salts water, and also put

it in a spritzer to spray on your arms, face and legs.

==>That's excellent your acne cleared up Debby!! How wonderful is

that?

==>I haven't look into specific treatments for it, but I believe it

could be toxins being released through the skin which can block up

pores. Try washing your arms with a mixture of epsom salts, sodium

ascorbate, ocean sea salt & water; make up a quart with 2 tsp sodium

ascorbate, 2 tablespoons epsom salts and 1 tbl ocean sea salt. Do not

rinse it off. Or make an exfoliant with the same goodies, without

the water. Any detoxing treatments will help too, i.e. dry skin

brushing, epsom or H202 baths, electrolyte drink, coffee enema, etc.,

along with plenty of good fats & oil soluble vitamins.

Please let me know what helps you most.

Hi Debbie,

I've always heard that those annoying arm bumps (especially those on the

back of the upper arm) are a sign of 'allergic reaction' - which I interpret

loosely as any sort of sensitivity. I get them pretty bad when I'm either

eating stuff I shouldn't or even sometimes when exposed to chemicals etc.

For me, they go away when I'm eating scrupulously on the 'Bee Diet'.

Exfoliating helps but they do seem to just come back if I don't stay on the

program.

Just my experience!

Thanks for the info. However I've been on Bees diet

for 9 months straight now (and longer before that on

low carb) and while my facial acne is gone my white

bumps haven't budged. How long have you been on the

diet?

Luv,

Debby

Bee, this is an old message but I finally wanted to

follow up. I've been lazy responding to emails.

I did do the snizzles and they help but I find them

quite uncomfortable so I tend to procrastinate doing

them. What I ended up doing out of all your

suggestions was the vitamin C. I took 2 grams every

chance I got. When I took the vitamin C I noticed an

improvement, and when I would forget I would decline.

I had to consistently remember to take at least 4

grams a day or I would decline. So after almost a

week of slacking off on taking the Vitamin C regularly

I buckled down and kept some in my purse in the front

pocket where I would remember. Once I took it

regularly I started getting better.

It took a long time but I did get better. Now I have

a cold again but I know to take my vitamin C again and

it will help. But it's not in my chest, yet anyway.

I also had to avoid blowing cold air in my face, even

when it was hot. So no AC, no fans, etc. for a week.

My face is always hot so that was hard.

I have noticed an improvement in the white bumps using

a fine white scouring pad (like a buff puff but

bigger) and the usual tea tree oil and castille soap I

usually use to shower with. If I don't use the buff

puff daily they come back so I've tried to make it

part of my usual morning routine.

==>Your cold means your body is doing a clean-up job, which is not a

bad thing of course. It's good to know that you cannot handle cold

air blowing on your face too. You might find it cooling to spray-

mist plain water or even water with some H202 on your face, or even

vinegar & water.

==>Thanks so much for the update Debby. You are very observant and

it great to get information from you on what works and what doesn't.

Thanks for being part of my group! You are a real jewel!

It's been actually quite cool here for august so it's

a bit of a moot point, but thanks for the tip. I have

a slight cold again but nothing like the last one that

lingered forever. I look forward to hopefully not

having colds anymore like you.
