Hi Everyone! I have a quick questions regarding using CDS on my dog who was diagnosed with lymphoma back in October. We have been giving him 1 ml doses with an extra 5-6 ml of water in a needle-less syringe simply squirting it down his throat. It took a few days before he got the hang of it but now he swallows the CDS and very rarely chokes or coughs upon receiving it. However, it's becoming more clear that on days when he gets 6-9 doses he will cough a lot throughout the day and night. Two nights back he was actually up coughing throughout the night, it was almost like a hacking trying to vomit type cough. Through process of elimination we are pretty certain that he only coughs when he gets CDS throughout the day. He's been on MMS for over a month so I don't think that the dosage is too big, but I could be wrong. I have not taken MMS myself, my boyfriend has taken CDS straight without any dilution and he said he did not experience a burning sensation. Does anyone who uses CDS experience throat irritation or coughing? Also, I am wondering if because his swollen lymphnodes are there in his throat, maybe they are shrinking or healing which is causing strange throat sensation which in turn is making him cough. We have cut back dramatically on CDS since the coughing was keeping everyone up at night. I would be willing to put up with it if I knew it was healing him and not doing any damage. Can anyone offer an insight on this?? Thanks so much in advance

Hi cactus,

I know if I don't drink enough water with my CDS doses that it burns my throat a little. You are not diluting the doses with much water so that might be a factor. I don't get coughing from the CDS, except that I have noticed it is very good at breaking up phlegm in my lungs. It happens almost immediately after taking a dose and I'll cough up some of the loosened phlegm. If he has chest congestion, then the coughing may be good in that it means he is getting it out.

If he does not have chest congestion, then maybe it is irritation from not enough dilution or at least this could be a contributing factor. I am taking hourly doses of CDS but have not tried taking them with only a little dilution each hour.

It does seem also that it could be possible the coughing is a sign of healing. In my experience, the CDS is very powerful, more than MMS1 for me, but does not cause nausea and diarrhea problems. It is really hard to know what is going on here since you cannot talk to him to find out if the doses are burning his throat.
