For the last five years I have endured the presence of constant phlegm in my throat. Sometimes it

Hi,

I have had similar problems in the past and what worked for me was Oil of Oregano.  I took 5 drops under the tongue 2 times a day. lots of water and some Zinc. It took about 3 weeks for the all of the symptoms to go away completely but felt better in about a week.  For me just one dose eased the lump in my throat almost immediately. Follow the directions because i believe you can take it 6 weeks on and 2 weeks off.  

P.S. it is a really potent herb! Try it.

hope this helps.

i dont believe that everyone in here could be suffering from allergies or sinus because if you have phlem in your throat but have a hard time clearing your throat then think about what you have ate or something that you are doing i have had my tonsils taken out and i have had a problem with stuff getting into my ears the sinuses all have but one pathway to drain and that it down the back of your throat thru the eustachian tube and your tonsils and adenoids make sure that everything is filtered before it goes down that way but they are also hooked on to your thyroid think about when you get a sore throat it is because your nose is stopped up but if your nose is  not stopped up when you get a sore throat then your throat is just sore then think about what it is that you ate and what i just said that your tonsils and adenoids are part of your immune system they are connected onto your thyroid which helps run your body so when things go wrong in that area then stuff starts swelling so think about the next time that the phlem is entering your throat what it is that you are doing now think how do you feel also for the ones who dont have their tonsils think about also that they helped you control your emmotions so you are what you eat food can sometimes change a persons mind or way of thinking ..... so please read and understand where i am coming from and for others that are having trouble on making up their mind on whether or not to remove some part out of their body or not please read....

Interesting comment from the person who wrote about yeast.  I did stumble on a website about such - wrote for a questionaire so that may be what I'll try next.  (Esp since it states that if you've been on birth control pills for any length of time )- which in my case yes.  I don't know what a biblical diet is but yeast thrives on anything with sugar WHICH most foods have - breads, etc.  It does say steer away from alot of fruits (sugar!) but until I go thru some testing for such, I will not change much in diet.  If the person that wrote about their diet could expand on it - would be helpful.  Esp to see what other symtoms they had.  And yep - I'm still coughing!  (Gagging etc...:o)
Sucks being us eh?  It could be worse I know but it definitely is a nagging dilemma that gee, you think some physician could figure it out.

I have had the same problem for a couple of years now, getting much worse this past year.  I, too had CT scan of the sinuses etc, with everything coming back negative.  I went to a microscopist and the results were that I was filled with yeast, my lymph system was clogged, etc.  

Just recently within the past couple of weeks I started a juice fast (basically similar principles as the person posted on 3/1/06) and going back to Biblical principles of diet and foods.  I am also taking some candida tablets to relieve me of the accumulation of yeast in my system. The relief is amazingly fast.  I also bought a rebounder and uses that daily (this helps to clear up the lymph nodes) I can now breathe through both nostrils, the phlegm initially increased but is now tapering off and is not so thick and yucky, the constant sneezing has subsided and I have also started losing weight.

I'm so happy to have found this site!!!! I have suffered with this condition for over 7 years. I do not plan to lose hope for being cured! I too have had all the many tests, all negative results. I have been accused of having a 'habit' of clearing my throat. Aggravating!!! Which you all know is the only way to move the phlegm. Oh well. I do sing and now my voice is ruined. From this condition, my voice is raspy. In an effort to help me, my son was searching on the web and found an article on vocal-chord nodules. He feels that could be the problem. I'm not sure and haven't researced it. I'm in between jobs & medical insurance so I have to wait before going to the doctor. Maybe this is the answer! I'm hoping. If any of you persue this and find out it has helped. PLEASE - Don't forget the rest of us! I've found no relief yet. Any relief, please share. I am presently, taking 4 drops of 'oil of oregano'. It's extremely strong and I have to put the drops in 1 teaspoon of vegetable juice, take it and immediately drink either water or more juice to keep me from choking on it. My throat is raw. I think this has given me a little relief. Someone said it kills yeast and I've been on a lot of antibiotics. I'm willing to try it. But... I still have it!

I too have excessive mucus...mine gets into my chest and I can get it out, even with Mucinex.  It all started 7/05 when I got whooping cough, just dx'd 10 months later-thank U all my 10 doctors for missing this!!!!!  I now have constant throat clearing and excessive mucus that is ruining my life.  Had every test and nothing comes up.  Anyone ever hear of this?
