14:33 How to support your immune system
16:15 Learn more about how to get rid of phlegm!
Today, we’re going to talk about the different causes of mucus in the back of your throat.
Some traditional treatments for excess phlegm can come with side effects that create bigger problems. So, I also want to cover some great natural remedies for mucus in your throat.
Potential causes of constant mucus and how to get rid of mucus:
1. GERD
• Take apple cider vinegar or betaine hydrochloride before meals
2. Postnasal drip
• Use a neti pot with water and sea salt (for mild cases)
• Use a neti pot with water and a small amount of baby shampoo (for more severe cases)
• Use a Q-tip to apply a diluted povidone-iodine mixture to the inside of both nostrils and gargle with the rest of the mixture
3. Allergies
• Avoid potential environmental triggers
• Do intermittent and prolonged fasting
• Avoid dairy
You can also try a unique acupressure technique that I’ve found works wonders to get rid of mucus-and don't forget to support your immune system.
The best ways to support your immune system:
1. Consume more garlic
2. Avoid sugar
3. Take vitamin D
4. Take vitamin C
5. Take zinc
6. Take calcium lactate (for a cough)

I had mucus coming up my throat for 40 years since I was a kid, and I always wondered why. When I contracted covid in 2021, the X-ray showed a mass in my airway the size of a softball and turned out it had a quart of fluid. This cyst was pushing against my right airway to my lung. it actually bent it, and that's what caused the irritation that caused the green phlegm to come up for 40 years. I had the cyst removed 5 months after its discovery. If I didn't catch covid i never would have known this.

I had thin water like mucus, post nasal drip, mine coming from bio-film, from living in a house that had mold in the AC/Heat central air system, moved into a new place and could not stop the post nasal drip, mine was white clear post nasal drip, for 2 years I lived with this, it was driving be crazy, wiping my nose all day, this was about 7 yrs ago, I was sent to a Allergy doctor and he could not stop it either, I finally went on line and started searching myself, came across about stop all diary and did that, saw where drink filtered water with half spoon of apple cider vinger with the mother and fresh squeezed lemon juice in the water, made up a pitcher of filtered water every night with 3 large lemons squeezed in it and would cut up the lemon peeling with the white part into the water, put in fridge overnight for next day, as you drink next day add half tsp of the acvinger in each glass, did this for 3 straight weeks, every day, and guess what, after 2 long yrs of a running nose all day, It was completly gone, never to return, And since covid vax virus started with jab shots started, I bought 2 bottles at CVS of the beniodine sore throat gargle, watched a doctor's video about how if you caught the CV, the first day you have the sore throat, start garling with it, it would kill the cv bacteria in the respitory and never get in the chest, this was back in 2020, I still do it now if my throat feels sore at all, its a antesptic, I learned long ago, doctors messed up my immune system with lots of antibotics and presription drugs when I got my nerves and muscles damaged in a car accident.

It's not Cow's milk that is essentially the problem. It's the Cow that it comes from. There are 100% A2/A2 breeds which produce A2 milk and which does not contain A1 casein. This is precisely why ancient Indians & other ancient civilizations insisted on preserving native cow breeds and to not create hybrids from them.

[@infullbloom3246]

When you drink milk, especially in USA, you drink milk of 100+ cows, most of them are sick, with cancer and filled with antibiotics and vaccines. Also, USA cows have A1/A2 protein that body cant digest. USA milk causes asthma, schizophrenia etc. Best are Indian cows, they produce only A2.

In general, you'll want to dose your supplementing of the 90 Essential nutrients at 1.25x the recommended dose for at least a month before starting any weight training.

I'm a heavy smoker who used to have a constant phlegm and saliva problem, my sister recommended to me all sorts of stuff (apple cider vinegar, special teas, etc) i even took cough syrups and other medications, but ultimately i found they only worked for a short time or up until my next smoke and my airways would get all clogged again. What I started doing and what i recommend to others with the same problem is try to learn how to breath properly (sounds simple enough i know but people don't). 1st raise your chin when you breath don't keep it tucked into your neck, 2nd inhale deeply through your nose and exhale from your mouth and 3rd try to hold you breath for as long as you can (like when you were a kid). i did these 3 things and i went from coughing up brown and black goo every morning to being able to run again and having transparent/clear spit. hope my 2 cents could help someone going through this and save you some money

I wanted to add here, in my experience, getting rid of gluten in my diet did it (took 35 years to realize it). No more mucus stuck in my throat or clearing my throat all the time. For me, gluten has a inflammatory effect on my esophagus and digestive system to where what normally runs down the back of your throat, couldn't because of the inflammation. It also caused my nose to run all the time. Couple that with a diet of dairy and it can get miserable (Pizza is a double whammy). Takes a couple days for it to clear up but breathing through your nose and not clearing your throat all the time is worth it. It's an intolerance to gluten, I can eat it, I just choose not to. It's a quality of life type thing.

[@emmarose953]

Thank you for sharing this! Did you have any other symptoms?

[@WeedsMcJohnson]

@@emmarose953 - Yes, besides my original post, uncontrollable heartburn all the time with bread/gluten in my diet. Took Prilosec for a long time and that just destroys your digestive system. Finally figured out that the heartburn wasn't caused by too much acid, it's because you tend to not make so much as you get older (yes, they tell you the opposite). So now, I don't do the gluten much, I take the Betaine Hydrochloride every day to keep my acid level in good shape along with a probiotic which keeps you loaded up with good bacteria in your digestive system. Also limit the dairy intake because for me, it creates a lot of mucus. All that coupled together and life is 100% better and no more heartburn except when I get off-track with my diet. No excessive mucus, no clearing of my throat, no coughing, no heartburn or GERD. It's been a very long haul since no one tells you these things (including my parents of whom I inherited this mess), but I have the fix now and I finally feel better.

[@WeedsMcJohnson]

​@@emmarose953 It was a long road of learning and figuring out what works. I drink "Core" brand water because the PH level in the water really helps the gut. I take the Hydrochloride once per day in the morning along with 'Enzymedica Digest Gold w/ Probiotics' with food to keep acid levels proper. Between those three things it keeps the heartburn away really well. As for how long it takes to fix, everyone is different. My trial and error went on for years. but now if I was to summarize, I'd say you'd see a nice difference within a week or two. This is all about gut health and having enough acid and good bacteria. Of course everyone is different and this isn't a one-size-fixes all, type thing but it worked for me. Now it's just a daily routine.

[@jillgoodman1515]

@@teletoby7 he says why in the first 30 sec of the video. It kills all the good bacteria too throughout the body including the nose and throat so you end up with a worse bacterial situation then when you started. The good bacteria eat the bad bacteria so when you kill the good bacteria the next time you encounter bad bacteria there is no good bacteria left to eat it. He explains other ways of killing this bad bacteria and of course you have to reintroduce good bacteria back into the body which I am trying to do by drinking kefir and eating sour kraut every day. Hope that helps!

@@chadhorak1528 Yeah it helps numbs it. After meals, I would advise you to gargle with warm water - half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of Baking powder. As for Iodine continue to gargle that first thing in the morning and at night.

FYI: If performing a nasal rinse, please be aware that some water sources may contain things that shouldn't be in your nasal passages. It is recommended to boil tap water and LET IT COOL TO A COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURE BEFORE USING. I always have distilled water on hand and use that. Resources regarding the reason is available online. (^.^)

I had constant mucus issue working 28 days on then 28 days off on a ship. I put the cause down to oil mist being sucked into the air fresh supply.

I ended up resigning from my position & after 2 months of no exposure my health has had a major improvement.

[@nachochitiu6953]

I have been doing this nasal rinse for decades (very little need over the last years). The salinity of the saline needs to be similar to the salinity of your serum. If it is significantly lower or higher, flushing will sting. Also it feels better if the saline is around your body temperature. With this method I have killed chronic sinusitis and ended the need for medical treatment.

[@Mandon97]

I had the same problem and basically cured it by taking bromelain and quercetin. The bromelain really works well dissolving the mucus in my nose. I don’t have much problem with breathing since.

[@hbrown1969]

If using a netti pot, be sure to boil the water to kill any pathogens. Also use warm water, not room temperate. Otherwise you could give yourself a brain freeze. A way to determine the correct temp, is to splash some on the inside of your wrist (baby bottle technique). That will help you determine if the water is too hot or cold.

Doc...you have gave me high hopes to recovery...it will be a miracle to find out that my issues are from S.I.B.O. I have thought for a few years that S.I.B.O. was really my problem. I went to a gastrointestinal doctor for symptoms of Ciliacs disease thinking I just had I.B.S. so with that I've had the flem, constipation, bad gas, and bloating for the last 10 years. I've been on a gluten free diet for about the last 6 years and most of my symptoms are gone except for the flem, constipation, gas, and bloating. I went back to the doctor because of these issues. I blew into a machine or tube, and the doctor said I was positive for candida? He gave me antibiotics I took for 7 days. It didn't help my condition. I'm starting your program with the apple cider vinegar, cleaning the nose with the Iodine, and salt. I'm doing the vitamin A, and D as well. Also doing a garlic, and zinc pill. I wanted to ask you about the Betaine Hydrochloride? You said to start with 5 pills and work my way up as far as I can go. I purchased a bottle of those at 790 mg. Is 5 OK to start with at that dose? Also I forgot to mention the most important part to why i want to try your program. the last couple of years I've had some bad acid reflux attacks so it makes total sense in having the S.I.B.O. so this is why I want to try your program on ridding the S.I.B.O.
