I’m know I’m not doing this correctly, but I have a question. My 89 year old aunt was only able to tolerate the “Big 3” for a few days as she was having horrible side effects. She has a cough that won’t go away. She has a nebulizer that doesn’t seem to be working, neither is the inhaler. What can you recommend for the cough? The pulmonologist thinks the “vest” might work. We aren’t sure she’ll qualify for it though.
Thank you and I’ll do my best to navigate this site correctly,
Renee

@migizii. My pulmonologist recently prescribed “the vest” for me too as I have difficulty removing mucus. I am not quite old enough for Medicare so I don’t know if your aunt will qualify, but I went through RespirTech in St Paul, MN and they were very helpful navigating everything! Their phone number is 1-800-793-1261. I got this company recommendation from Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I do not know what areas they work with around the country, tho.. good luck in your journey.
@yayaaz bless you! I could not tolerate the meds. I ordered Broncolin/Propolis all natural honey cough syrup from Amazon. Also
Order Blue Label Clear Lung from Amazon. It stopped my cough. Both are ALL NATURAL !
Do it !

I have been on the big 3 for 3 months now. Because I have a doctor who is into preventive medicine - apart from my lung doctor, she stopped my cough last August within three days with supplements only she can get as a doctor. Find a doctor who is into preventive medicine - my blood tests show no damage to my organs. My lung specialist does not particularly approve or disapprove, and probably mentally pats me on the head. However my doctor on the Gold Coast is right on the ball. I coughed violently for 8 months, stopped within three days of seeing her, and have barely coughed since. I am tolerating the big three surprisingly well, and on the other days taking Dr. Elen's supplements. She gets them from New Zealand. By the way I am on the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia.
