Earthheart,
Since your cousin is coughing up stuff, it seems that her immune system is already targeting the main issue.
If you can believe the diagnosis from her doctor and that is the only thing to deal with, then it makes fighting it a little simpler.
It's just my gut instinct, but I would stay at her same dose as long as she is still coughing that stuff up. When she is done coughing for now but still feeling sick, then go up a little more and so on. But whatever you change, only change one thing at a time. That way you can figure out what to do much easier and the troubleshooting is much simpler.
Your cousin seems to have a history like mine as far as working in a dusty dirty environment.
When I was living in Kansas City I came down with many allergies. Two of these were dust mites and mold. I tested positive for both of these at the allergist (doctor's office with a skin test). This test is fairly easy and straight forward and relatively in expensive. I think it was around $90.00 to do a full panel with skin sensitivities. Later on, the treatments ( homeopathic remedies) were around $1600.00 but my insurance paid for most of that. The skin panel test was very useful because it tested for about 60 known allergens that most people are exposed to on a daily basis. If I was going to do this all over again, I would do the MMS instead of the shots and save myself the expense and time, but the skin test was worth it because it is direct to the point.
Some of the things they test for are mold, dust mites, cat dander, dog dander, fleas, tics, grass pollen, tree pollen, formaldehyde, etc, etc.
I forget most of them, but you get the idea. The test is done by scratching the skin, but it is minimally invasive, and you will know what the problem is in a few minutes as far as allergens. I think it would be worth doing in her case because it could be an underlying issue that may have contributed to her condition originally.
At that time, I had never heard of MMS but I felt lucky to have found a doctor that was practicing homeopathic medicine.
It did work, and so I continued. The regular doctors wanted to put me on steroids and cortizol if I remember right. Nothing that I could buy over the counter was having any effect, so I was ready to try just about anything.
This went on for about 6 months, and I gradually got better with the shots, but I really didn't get way better until I moved out of the mouldy house that we were living in. We moved to Northern Idaho. I was just about done with the series of allergy shots anyway, and it was time to move because of family comittments.
If it were me and working with lung problems, I would look for some protocols that target the sinus + lungs + dust mites + mold.(if that is what her skin test shows) It might be possible to get some relief with sprays on the skin and or drops of MMS in the bathtub. That way you can work in more MMS into the bloodstream without drinking it. That way it lessens the impact on the gut flora and she can keep all her strength to fight more directly with her invaders.
Some of that steam would naturally work its way into the lungs and be very safe to handle once it was diluted into the bathwater.
I don't know if there is someone on here that has some experience with a nebulizer and MMS drops?
I would think at some very low dose in a very diluted wet mist that some version of MMS might be effective. I would not risk inhaling the straight undiluted MMS vapors themselves, as these are way too hot.
Don't ask me how I know this! LOL!
Good luck and God Bless!
