I have been having amazing luck with the symptoms of my skin, but I am getting progressively worried about what is occuring in my lungs and upper respiratory tract. These things are in my lungs. I haven't had a "wave" of coughing and sneezing like this for awhile now. I am coughing these things up. My coughs are productive and contain a multitude of black teeny specks and larger but tiny brown specks. Prior to this wave, I had my lower left thorax area vibrating like a continuos muscle twitch. Not painful, just there. When I blow my nose, I am also getting these in my tissues. I really believe my problems with my face are due to whatever is in my respirotory tract.
I need your suggestions on how to target that area without antibiotics. I realize that this forum goes back to 2005 so far as I have accessed so far. I know you have addressed this before, but I am not feeling well and I am exhausted and need a little direction in what all has made those of you with lung problems feel better............I can't thank you enough.......Frito

Frito - I read somewhere that boiling water with some tea tree oil in it, and inhaling deeply works. Good, God - that sounds HORRIBLE. I am so sorry, friend... Love, Bessie

Frito, Something I've been reading about the last few days is about Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and how it affects the lungs, and also just as important, how it can be extremely difficult to treat. In many many articles, I've read that a natural treatment that holds alot of promise is taking Ginseng daily! Yep, good ole Ginseng to treat stubborn Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and how beneficial it is if the person has CF also. We (me and Mr T) have just started it as of Friday. We don't have symptoms of CF or Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, but, because it seems everyone is coming up positive with this, we're going to treat ourselves as though we "might" have it too, since this is a fairly safe herb. So...please look up Ginseng and you'll see quite alot of experiments and possible benefits to ridding a stubborn pathogen as Pseudomonas. Here's a short little article, but there's many more. (reduces bacterial load) cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=2749106www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=163833Almost forgot to mention, Pseudomonas can settle in the lungs and become extremely serious, so serious it might not be able to be treated with (medicines) so nipping it before it gets out of control is probably not a bad idea.

I believe many of us may have a form of incomplete cystic fibrosis which allows for organisms to exist in our lungs. My daughter was born left to right -
right to left organ reversal in her chest cavity. This means I have the gene for incomplete cystic fibrosis.
Try reading up about salt inhalation therpy for cystic fibrosis. I have multiple infilltrations in my lungs and the doc's freak at my x-rays. I feel stinging and small wiggling in my plueral space and in the aorta at times. Ti=his seems to begin with the blooming of the tress and end in late fall. Lilsissy I also wonder if I have those lung worms that have been found in association with the Fibromyligia I have.

Have you tried the oxygen pills yet frito? They seem to be helping quite a few of us and altho they don't target only the lungs, I think they would be real beneficial for you.

fritolay, I have had lumpy jelly like phlegm for a couple of years. It is very bad when I rise from sleeping and also many many times during the day. Litterally looks like brown speckles and arc shapes and nematode shapes within. I looked under the scope and many times a red fiber is within. I think that our bodies are surrounding the spores, seeds, fungi or whatever the foreign body is in order to expell it. When the phlemgm dries it looks similar to r. seeberi with fern shapes within. The fern shapes seem to be why the body is surrounding it with lymph. The fern shapes are the foreign body. These are all just my speculations which I change on a daily basis with this curse.
littlesissy, I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia too and I wonder if we have the lung worm that they found in chronic fatigue syndrome.

This too fits so much of what I read here on morgellons, It also is asscociated with I.U.D use. I had a I.U.D. so many of us are women. Who said the other day that they seemed to be losing bone under the lesions in their head? www.answers.com/topic/actinomycosis?cat=healthlilsissy

Kame - That link didn't work, but I am very interested in what it says. When I first got the monster I recognized that forced oxygen, like peroxide, helped. I used to run it in vaporizers 24 hours a day. It's hard to tell exactly what is helping sometimes when you are doing 100 things, but I think that it did make a difference and helped me to come back.

Fritolay, Sorry you're having lung problems. As a life long "lunger" with asthma and chronic bronchitis I've tried lots of treatments. Since morgs seem to hat menthol and phenol you could try the old technique of putting Vick's vaporub in a vaporizer - btw don't work for Vicks here (Vick's sell a vaporizer but there are other brands I think) and inhaling the mist. If you're lungs are really bothering you while you sleep you can run the vaporizer next to your bed at night as well. Basically you put water in the vaporizer until it's heated then add vick's vaporub (I think) to it. Then it mists your sinuses and lungs with the menthol/phenol combo. Here's a link to a vaporizer info site, hope this helps: www.gotvape.com/vaporizer-blog/2007/07/vicks-vaporizer.htmlAll the best! Merc

Thanks you guys. I am really battling fatigue today. I was thinking....I have been going through the archive of past posts here on the forum. I hit one in which I think it was Anthill? and he was talking about ginger tea. Then it clicked.....I have been taking 4 each of that yellow mustard and ginger in 01 capsules. 2 each both am/pm, since the posts by just hangin and cheetah.
Prior to this lung occurence..... 2 day incidence with intermittent fever Vibrating in lower left thorax Right knee pain and OMG the swelling
Am currently coughing, productive, phlegm w/ many specks Violent sneezing, many in succession Nose crap w/ specks
Does this progression to you all sound like these may be working? Or am I headed for trouble? I can't take a deep breath anymore.

Get some Muconex over the counter. Helps with all the crappy phlegm with black dots I get. Nancy

Frito,
I can only give my opinion, it's all I've got, but....I'd say from the description of what you're experiencing, you might want to take a lesser dose of the mustard and ginger.
Even though spices, and supplements are good for our bodies, too much of a good thing can cause havoc too.
Like vitamin A for instance. Maybe this isn't "new" to anyone, but too much of it, will cause hair loss for sure.
The body will react to "over dosing" of even salt. We become puffy (edema) and that too isn't good.
So...allow your body (since we don't know anything about what to do for sure and what not to do) but allow your body to talk to you, and when something becomes "not right"....lessen what your doing that's causing it....or what is different that you're doing.
I sure don't mean that to sound like you don't know that, but "jmo" maybe that's too much mustard you're taking, and the body can't handle it actually. And I know that's just my thoughts on that...but when I read how much you're taking it sort of scared me....cause we sure want you feeling better and not worse.
Hugs.

OK, I have been up for a little bit. I haven't really had a chance to post today. I wanted to answer a few things here. Someone asked about Opaline (Bananny). I have faithfully taken it since Febr. I started at full recommended dose and upon approval upped that dose a little over a month ago to six per day. 3 in am, and 3 in pm. Until incorporating that into my little regime, I never did improve. I really believe using it facilitates everything else I do. Definately compliments what I am doing.
I guess I wasn't really interested in anything that would decrease this occurence. My own feeling is "Better out than in". I am really looking at what will help that along. I don't want to stop it and keep all that crap in my lungs. I do believe I am having a reaction. Whatever is there is definately riled and not happy. I am not getting new lesions. I have been getting bumps around my nose and ears. Whatever it is is coming out. If it is a parasite, how does one kill it in the lungs?
Toni, you are thinking what I am. This is a herx.
I can't thank you guys enough for all of us suffering with this lately. Heavens, if you think of anything else, keep it coming. I am still going to go through some more of the past archives. God Bless you guys.......Frito

Frito, I do know that when the body starts to reject this mess, you're going to get alot worse before you get better. So if you honestly think what you're taking is helping you, even tho it may not seem to be that way cuz of the reactions you're having, I say keep it up. The body fights back in ways we might not fully understand, but if it's fighting back that it's doing, then bring on the next round and remember Jesus is holding your hand! I love you ~~ bannanny

Hi Bananny..... Its my personality, I hit my lungs even harder. I coughed so deeply today I bet my stomach muscles are sore tomorrow. I ended up throwing up a few times. You will all be happy to know, that as of right now, maybe not tomorrow, but right now, I am having clear mucous with no specks in my throat, nose, or lungs. No blood or anything like that, thank GOD. I think today was the hardest day I have had in a long time. Oh, there is a postive note.......I did not expereince any.......leaking issues......due to coughing so hard. Isn't that great?

Dear Frito, Just becareful , maybe you should go get a xray of your lungs, the only reason I say that is cause my dad died of lung problems. First it started with a flu/cold like symptoms and wouldn't go away and he had a hard time breathing . Than he had an xray and they found a mass behind his lungs and that was making it hard for his lungs to inhale. So they put him on oxygen and that helped for awhile............................................. But on the other hand as everyone said you will feel worst before you get better if you are hexing . Stress is also a killer that opens doors for other things , so listen to our body as Toni said . My heart goes out to you and we will be here for you!! massena
