Too Much Mucus,,, No cure in the 'Medical Industry'

Especially after eating I get a Post Nasal Drip....
Been through two ENT's,,, Too Many GP's and taken to Hospital 3 times in 2008!
The Hospitals do bugger all! As has the medication that any one percribed me.
I'm not one of those try it for a week and drop it. I took Acid Reflux pills for 8 months non stop... Did bugger all!
The only things that help and helped alot was ye old Vicks inhaling.... and doing the nebulizer...
COughing all day most of the time.. Antibiotics tried them twice with no effect!
BUT; when my Doctor said that wehave exhusted all possible means, he told me that he was reluctant as its against his practise to recomend any Natural Doctors, but he couldn't stand prescribing me things that did not help at all. He said to Try an Iridologist and or Chinese Medicine. I did!! The results were amazing!
For over a year Many types of Doctors and emergency ward doc's did not have a clue, or could they help in any way.... So, I found a Doc Qualified in Iridology, CHinese Med and Holistic Med !! And guess what she was also an X-Practise MD, she said she just knew too much about the Pharma companies and couldn't continue down that road.... I didn't dig any further, but wasn't suprised with all the deaths you hear relating to Meds.  
She gave me a few test,, e.g. gave me a drink and then all my symptoms started!! Man, that was tough.. she sat there and watched me taking notes.. then gave me another drink and it stopped all the symptoms... She ased a few basic life questions, and diet questions,, then did the Iridology thing on me....
No problem she said, I'll be back with your Herbal Med..
I was driving home still not feeling good and though why not I'll take it now while driving,, and within the first couple of sips and Mucus symptoms started to stop!! Man, if that was the Placebo effect! That was pretty powerful and I think it wasn't.
I was given something that cured me in a matter of hours.. yet couldn't be cured within 1 year by many Doc's.
If there is anyone out there who has my problem too,, excessive white sticky mucus, post nasal and cough,,, DO NOT GOTO YOUR GP PLEASE! You'll save money by going Alternative and I hear its pretty rare for a practising Doc to refer you to Alternative med! Mine did and I went back and secretly thanked him big time! He said he wasn't surprised at my results and said he understand if I'm angry with the Med Industry.
I've also been told, and am now trialing Hydrogen Peroxide (up to my 5th day, and its going well),,, I'm looking to now cure my Asthma.
My GP has given me the Confidence (unwantingly) to go out and treat yourself naturaly... I never would have thought if my GP didn't recomend this action, I don't know where I would be today after so many Ambulance rides,,, and for WHAT REASON ? To be sent home in the same condition.
So my qustion is if My GP can eventually say this has any one else had any simular experiences? (Either with your GP saying to head off to the Alternative pool or my SYmptoms and have not had help from the Med Industry).

I have experience the same symptoms for years and have also seen many doctors and the relif is only temporary while I take the medications.
my conclusions have been that the Pharmasutical industry is all about the money and have made sure we don't find the cure (only find relief ) big money for them.
Do you know what herbs that Iridology doc. gave you? and how did you administered the hydrogen peroxide? please help me my e mail is ***@****

I am really upset with the way I feel right now. Mucus is taking over! It's been like this for a month so far, I believe. I'm not sure if it's allergies or what. Yesterday, however, I think it really set in my throat worse than it's been for the past month. For around a  ...  [More]    month, it was just waking up and quickly coughing up the yellow, slimy, yuck. Now, for today and yesterday, I have been feeling very uncomfortable with this mucus. Most of the time, it's clear and slimy mucus I cough out of my throat and blow out of my nose. If I don't at least TRY to get it out, it, as I said, it feels very uncomfortable. I've read a few posts on this site and I don't know if I should go to the doctor or not, because they'll more than likely tell me the same they've told everyone else. So far, I've tried drinking decaffeinated green tea to soothe my throat, I hope. Also, I drink a lot of water and I've been drinking a lot of water for the past year, I believe. No, I have never been an alcoholic and I do not drink alcoholic beverages or anything of that sort. My mom says I should sit up and not lay down on my back, because the mucus will only drain down my throat. My room is hot and I'm not sure if the air conditioning is part of the problem causing my throat to hold this mucus. I do believe that it is quite possible that sitting in a small, heated room is part of the problem, because after sitting in the big opened up place in the living room all day, I actually started feeling somewhat better. I'm really not sure, but coughing mucus out of my throat and sucking in my snot to let it drain down my throat and then coughing it up again may be making it better or probably worse. I'd really love to find out what's causing this and how I can fix it.

are you eating alot of dairy products?cows milk,cheese-these are mucus forming foods. start a diary of what you are eating and your symptoms.drink atleast 3 bottles of water aday.cut out the dairy-replace with goats cheese and goats milk if you can tolerate it-or try the rice milk or almound milk.i hope this helps

Sorry I didn't really post anything again on my postings here..

I'm going to paste in here what I sent off to jorgesolis and flowerladylin.

Though I do stress what worked for me may not always work for you but I do believe what I do have to offer in the form of information is a bit alternative, but as we all know with this issue Doctors have become very useless.

My MOST HATED THING ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING:
The worst thing of all, because you can’t really pin point that you have Sinus and that your Mucus is NOT Green or Yellow all the TIME, the Doctor won’t take you seriously…


SECIONT I:  (SKIP TO SECTION II IF IN HURRY)
But first : To Goober_Dork
Yep totally feel your frustration, umm, yeah probably a good idea to skip milk,,, the only reason the Doc's changed there mind about Milk and Mucus 7 years ago was that it was effecting the Dairy industry,, that is if you want to believe that, no one else seemed to change their mind about it.... I certainly was clogged up more when drinking dairy. You'll see alot of people out there with this issue and not knowing what to do, I'll admit I'm a bit of an eccentric and would defiantly also agree with h20guy's idea of a Netti pot! They are though of cause dam annoying at the start!! But don't give up! Check out U-Tube for a demo of that.
What I didn't mention underneath in my spill which goes deeper into what I was doing to help... (as people can end up having this longer than 10 years),, if explained to me right Doctors are trained to give you Acid Reflux pills, if that doesn't work,, will give you Antibiotics ( if that doesn't work they give you more if that doesn't work they start to send you to ENT's if that doesn't work they'll send you to a Reparatory Specialist (have an Endoscope etc..) if that doesn’t work they'll put you on Psycho Pills and lastly when that doesn't work, they are either going to say they don't know and refer you to people 'Outside the Med Industry' (if they are Brave) or just shrug you off.. (Yep this was the process for me and I've heard also for many others) - Remember that all this might be is a very deep infection (Sorry I hate using the word might and prefer to focus on what works but…), Antibiotics will kill a top Layer etc  etc.. But will not always get to the real cause and you can't continue taking them, then you'll end up stripping yourself of any function that creates Vitamin K (just for starters). So no, you'll have to look at why your just getting infection after infection and Doctors don't have time for this,,,, (NEXT PATIENT PLEASE)...
In my case the Iridologist said I had a thyroid Gland problem, but it didn’t stop there, most of my glands were not functioning, and my Lynphatic System was clogged. (as I had this problem for 2 years and I know others have had it way longer than that and it angers me to hear these stories that we all are not being treated properly!!) ….. And yeah you goto the Doctors and they touch your Gland and say its fine,, well great,, had an issue but you touched my gland said everything is ok and I went home (WITH THE SAME PROBLEM!! – but he didn’t know that part)..
Also, I’m now also taking a water mineral supplement and never though I’d do this but are becoming what they stereotype a Purist (Though I’ve asked myself how can I go from a Jazz Musician (Also High School Teacher) in a Jazz bar Drinking a lot of free drinks to no Alcohol and filtering my water even with reserve Osmosis (which gets out the Silico-fluoride but in Quantum Physics destroys the structure of water – of which you can restore this by placing a mineral supplement in this after filtration…. phew…)


One more thing I didn’t include down there was about your Brain – Of cause it is so complex and I’m really going to make this simple too!
You have a Nervous system -  !!we all know that!!  - , its connected to what ‘they’ like to call the autonomic nervous system, and is responsible for involuntary functions and most importantly “homeostasis” (THE CONTINUOUS BALANCE OF ALL YOUR ENTRIE SYSTEM) – so logically you say then if I’m getting too much Mucus No.1 Its involuntary and 2. your Mucus Membrane (Which is part of your nervous system)* of the nose and palate area is sending messages back to the autonomic nervous system [Limbic Brain (Mid Brain – Home of Autonomic Nervous System) ] to create more mucus to remove something! And that means it’ll do this too when sleeping….
       Unless of cause we have a Nervous system that is telling your Limbic Brain a lie that you need that much mucus.. Either way your bodies health including your nervous system to your Thyroid to your Lymphatic system all needs to be working well!, if its not (and I believe mine was not) then your going to get some pretty nasty Mucus issues.

*NOTE: Most Doctors will tell you your “Mucus Membrane is our personal air filter. It warms, moistens, and cleans the air. The mucous membrane creates a clear, wet, slightly sticky mucus that gathers any dust, smoke, bacteria, or virus particles that may have been in the air.” But they forgot to mention about the Nervous system,, they always do!! WHY?   AND THEY TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT OUR TURBINATS (That people get cut when they have Sinusitis).

Anyway, please read on below to see what else I had been doing and am continuing to do even now – I’m pretty much cured for the first time in 2 years.

-By the way if anyone was asking about what is silico-fluoride it’s a excitotoxin that is placed in our water to make our teeth rock hard – Hydro-fluoride is the one in our toothpaste and is much safer (so I’m told) and of cause real fluoride is a Halite that should be as harmless as salt,,, but we don’t have that one in our water!!!!!!! So why do you get told we just have fluoride is our water? This is crazy and related directly to your Thyroid.

SECTION II
HI!!

Thanks for your message on Medhelp,com! There is quite a bit of information and I  believe it will be very useful in your recovery!! It certainly has helped me!!! And wish it to help you too!

Yeah, I've got to say these symptoms of Mucus congestion are very very debilitating! It stops me from flying and taking long trips at times, plus eating!!!! As food gets cough up in the Mucus as it hangs between my throat and airways... You'd think there is a synthetic drug out there for immediate help, but seems that so many of us are having these issues..

With the Iridologist, I have no idea what herbs she put in! But it helped alot! Problem is, when I got another fever some time later it generally comes back for a month and a bit then disappears again,, which is so much better than the 1 year stint I did with it! As you know its hell,,, doing steam day in day out, nebulizers, coughing up white Mucus and at times clogging Sinuses.

Well, with the Hydrogen Peroxide, I bought 35% food grade, which is getting more difficult to buy, just put one drop in a glass of water 20min before a meal 3 times a day,,, and do with for 3 days, (Notes it tastes horrible), then 2 drops 3 times a day for three days etc... and build up to 6 drops, keep on six drops until better,, this is what many people have told me and there is alot of great history with Oxygen therapy,, all you are doing is making yourself Oxygen Water, sounds harmless right, Pharma companies have branded this product as burning your throat so they say don't take it,,, but it is sooooo good in small amounts,,, Mothers milk has Hydrogen peroxide in it, rain water has Hydrogen peroxide in it, that famous lake in France that heals people,, Mother marry statue one,, that spring has very large amounts of Hydrogen Peroxide in it! Many natural farmers have put Hydrogen Peroxide in the water for Cattle and Sheep, reducing infections and improving their health...  The list goes on! It was used in the 1930's for the out break of Pneumonia, injecting it, worked very well..
When you cough up some Mucus do an experiment, put one drop of Hydrogen Peroxide on it and see what happens! It'll literally oxidize and if the mucus is green or yellow watch it turn white! This is one thing I did for a while as well.
(Most infections or things clogging up our sinuses are Obligate anaerobic, they survive without oxygen, when placed in Oxygen they simply die - My wife is a Research Scientist at the Australian National University so I do believe what she says - I like her line,,,, Medicine is selective science - they only select what they can Paten and sell -  the amount of money spent of demonizing this natural source is huge, even BBC documentaries have been funded by Pharma companies to make it look highly dangerous - but Hospitals had been using this and still use it now - but why is it not widely available to the public...)

So, the Oxygen will purge alot of things from your system!

The second thing I did that also helped besides the Iridologist and the H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) was buy "Cold Pressed Organic Coconut Oil!" Again get ready for this one, studies done on Natural Saturated (and has some unsaturated fat) fats show people who take them are more healthy and often more active as shown on alot of research papers! But if everyone one ate saturated fats and knew this who would buy the Polyunsaturated foods (which is in nearly all the foods we eat). There is alot on the net about Coconut Oil and the years spent to disadvantage this health product too!
The reason I took this is the many studies on healing your Thyroid glands, one of your most important glands to keep your body functioning well. There are other Healthy products out there too!

Another thing I did was try and go Chemical free! People look at me now and go thats impossible, and it is, but I've tried my hardest to use Honey for sweeteners and bought Organic when I can, increasing my Vegetables and Fruit,, and taking less Grains, as grains can certainly damage your system if you take too many (but we are told they are one of the most important foods ), again this would be a disaster for the Farming industry if people knew our genetics had not caught up with this diet (many humans for thousands of years never ate grains until very lately).

This next thing I did was pretty much try and find a book that I thought would help me the most,, I read so many and checked their scientific research with my Wifes or got hold of research papers from the ANU here.
And, this website sounds funny, but her book is the best book that got me off all my medication, completely!!! The writer lives in Brisbane and California (depending what shes up too).
www.doctorsaredangerous.com  (The book is very cheap and her book as been turned down by so many main stream media, and I can't recommend it enough).

If your like me and just got fed up with chocking on mucus all the time then at least take the coconut oil!!!

How Long Did It All Take Me ?

The diet, I was on this for over 4 months before results...
The Hydrogen Peroxide - Once started my Sinuses clogged up badly due to the amount of "waste" it had killed in my body, but it cleared quite fast - they say things turn a bit nasty for a while but then clear right up,, this did happen to me.
The Coconut Oil had the fastest and longest lasting results!!! And Its something I'll be sticking too for the rest of my life and totally recommend this,,, after one week I was getting even better!!!
Of cause all these things plus exercise and the Iridologist helped me to be pretty much cured! But that wasn't enough,, I did go way out of my way to not only want to cure this but want to prevent it from ever ever happening again!
When my doctor said he had no idea and go look in the Natural Health area and use the net,,,, I was shocked,, but I now know that took him guts to say, as all doctors are forbidden to suggest such things.

O, I also did Yoga each 2nd day, this really started to help too after the 4th session!
You can download an hour long video from http://yoga.org.nz/yoga_vidoes.htm

O and please read that book too! It simply will help you eliminate anything that may cause this problem again!!

I hope this information was useful!! And let me know how you go please!!

Take care!!!

I signed up to this blog site just to tell you my findings!! I've experienced this problem for about 5 years and I've finally found my solution and hopefully it may help you as well. All i did was drink hot tea... After that, the mucous build up in my throat was a lot more bearable throughout the day;  it could be just the hot water that's causing the effect, but tea just tastes better ;P. I also had to start drinking a whole lot more water than what I have become accustomed to throughout the years, which was maybe 3 glasses of water to 4 at most. As for my diet, I stay completely away from dairy products and I try to reduce my sugar intake as much as possible, which I've found to directly effect the problem.

I am dealing with this for forever too and it all sounds like CANDIDA YEAST.

Angus, your remedies are what are suggested to kill Candida, so that further tells me that I am on the right track.

I believe since the 60's when processed and fake foods came onto the market we are the guinea pigs that can't even digest this crap. Our bodies are falling apart.

The only thing that makes me stop choking on this crap every 3 minutes is eating far less than usual and only eating REAL foods, and no foods on the candida no-no list (ie: NO fruit, NO sugars, NO vinegar, etc).

Things that kill candida (which cause mucous, white and/or frothy mucous, slimky mucous, etc)

coconut oil
oregano oil
garlic oil (gel pills available)
tea tree oil (DO NOT INGEST. ONLY INHALE STEAM.)
FOOD GRADE hydrogen peroxide (VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
L-Glutamine is excellent to rebuild intestines and health

etc.

Do the research. Look at all the symptoms. I HIGHLY believe something is happening to the population, and whatever it is, our bodies are suffering from this Candida explosion.

Hi Nancy,
I don`t know if the 3% is going to help, the trouble is the food grade h2o2 is stabalized. Therefore I can tell you it is easier for your body to use, but the 3% one used in the industry will definatly not harm you, but can:t say it will have great effects. I`d still use a full glass of water, it doesn`t taste good.
Personally, if you can get yourself onto good fats, like Coconut Oil with medium chain fatty acids, your going to be alot better off. Above your question is a Vitamin C suggestion. If your American, I:d get Vitamin C from only a few sources, but Raymond Francis`s one from ************.com will be a great one to take. Vitamin C cleanses your liver (well good ones anyway, and there are not many good Vitamins out there, so please be careful).
By the way, how bad are your symptons and when did they begin?

Updating here about Diary. I believe most people commenting on this blog are very aware of health subjects now, controversial or not. I have been cured of this for a while now, and I want to retract my Diary statement on a few expections. After much more research, that I`m sure some of you have done. RAW milk will not create Mucus, dispite the findings that even though Cow`s milk has 200 times more calcium than Human milk, we still only get smaller amount overall. Pasturised milk WILL create mucus, the enzyms in the milk are destroyed and they become like cutting razors throughout your blood, killing cells, I`ve found RAW milk to have no Mucus effects plus mcuh research supports this.
Too Bad I live in Australia and our dimwitted government has made RAW milk illegal.
Can eveyone please e-mail the Australian government and ask for this to change. Thanks.

Hi Angus,

I hope things are still ok with you. I am suffering with the same problem myself for just over a year. I have done the rounds of traditional medicine as described in your earlier post. Like you say, doctors are not interested.

My own thoughts are it is some sort of gut fermentation possibly due to parasites or candida overgrowth. I am taking probiotics and pau d'arcdo tea. I am trying to find more information or a book on hydrogen peroxide and its uses.

I would be grateful for any information or updates on this matter.


Kind regards,

Angus, thank you for your in-depth post on your treatment. I have been suffering from excess white frothy mucus for about 5-6 years now, and I have been brushed off by most doctors.

I went out today and bought some Cold pressed Coconut oil and some 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. I'm still looking for the 35% but for now I will give this 3% a whirl and post my results here. I added about 2 Tbsp of the coconut oil (it is solid at room temp) into my oatmeal with some honey and it was absolutely delicious.

I really appreciate you sharing your situation with us, if this coconut oil and H202 make any headway, you will have done more for me than any doctor I have met.

Thanks again, and my heart goes out to all of you who share this awful and often ignored ailment. Good luck to you all, and be sure to post your results here, we can all benefit from our collective knowledge.

Cheers,

Hi Waylon77,

I also have not been able to find the 35% H202. I am a little reluctant to try the 3% H202. Can you let us all know how you get on with the 3%. In the meantime I have obtained some Coconut Oil and am going to try that. I am also using Pau D'Arco tea which is anti fungal. I am not sure whether the problem is fungal or some kind of parasite, and the doctors here are useless, as I don't think that they have the time or knowledge to help.

I live in England and have joined The Candida Society who supply helpful information.

Keep in touch.
