My friend,
As a fellow Palmer this is crazy talk. I understand that the effects of palm can be baffling, but conclusions like this undermine credibility. I hope you can reason with yourself that this is probably not the case. There are so many different reasons why she could be coughing, and the most obvious is that she is older, has significant health issues, and is under an enormous amount of stress. I understand your just concerned, but we as a group need to eliminate silly talk like this if we ever hope to gain medical recognition.
Best of luck with your journey.
Yes please lets avoid this kind of posts, if we really want to attract doctors to do further investigation on this .
