ClearLungs effective?
I had been coughing nonstop for two days, bringing up all sorts of vile stuff. I took one ClearLung and the coughing stopped. My question is..does the ClearLung actually break up the thick mucus or does it act as a placebo, the coughing stops, but the nasty stuff is still in my lungs. I have Bronchiestis.

@poodledoc Sorry, I hate it when people use terms I don't get. TM is transcendental meditation, relaxes and clears the mind and it's easy to do, no concentration...in fact, the opposite. You learn from a TM teacher. I've done it for 40 years, I'm 83 and it is probably the most helpful thing I've ever done for myself. When I first learned it, it had a huge impact. I got up and cleaned the house and went out and got a PHD. I'm a clinical psychologist. Wishing you well. Flib
That’s so funny! I thought it was for our wonderful mentor! Transcendental meditation is good too! (irene5)
Well ladies, appreciate all your insightful comments. I’ll tell you what I’m doing that really seems to be helping (I’ll be ordering the clear lungs soon). I have Mac and bronchiectasis also. After much research (and not suggesting you try it) I came across a comment from a lady that is doing much better and is now coughing quite a bit more - productively- than ever before. Here we go: 1. Every morning in Nebulizer cup I put one vial of 7% saline (no prescription needed, Amazon sells it).
2. Add 1 tsp of PURE colloidal silver, NOT silver hydrosol, NOT silver ions. It has to be CLEAR with no stabilizers and not more than 10 ppm’s (parts per million) NO, you will NOT turn blue, I forget what that’s called, but that’s why you use the pure kind. I personally know people on it for over 20 years and no one’s turned blue. Colloidal silver was the first natural antibiotic used for many many years until today’s antibiotics came into play and pushed the silver out - but it’s still out there.
3. Add a few drops of 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide and most recently found out that I was missing #4……
4. Add one drop of Lugol’s iodine
I will never stop doing this…….i cough my little heart out every morning in a way that’s never happened before and can’t believe what comes up. My Dr.s. both said I have a very severe case.
I then have to Nebulize with a prescribed inhaled antibiotic called Arikayce because the big 3 almost killed me - landed in the hospital with terrible side effects. The only antibiotic that didn’t bother me was the Azithromycin, we left that one in, this now makes 2 with the inhaled one. My doctor just added Ethambutol and now that’s not bothering me - yay! so I am back up to 3. Will be adding the Clear Lungs soon now that some of you have helped me understand that it doesn’t dry up the mucus - I want it out! Thank you.
If this helps somebody, great, if some think this is crazy, especially because of the silver, so be it. It’s working for me and thousands of others. Remember : PURE COLLOIDAL SILVER, 10 ppm’s - NO OTHER KIND.
Take care
It’s a wretched disease we’re all dealing with. I’m sorry we all have it. Talk about your life changing overnight - it’s been 4 years for me.
