Jan 11, 2003 8:51 PM | | Sound like you got mad lung-butter. There's only one way to get rid of it: hack it up. Expectorant works, but is annoying as hell to spend an evening coughing your brains out so hard that you almost black out. Every time you hack a bit up, be sure to spit it out. Swallowing it (eeeeew!) may just redeposit it back in your lungs. You may just need to ride a bunch, move a lot of air through your lungs and hack it up. If you smoke, (anything 420 boy!) stop!
Are you sure you don't have pneumonia or a lung infection? |

Jan 13, 2003 12:33 PM | | only thing i smoke is the other riders in my group! i've been spitting and hacking. it might have been hairballs, i have a used-brush fetish. it seems that when i lie down to sleep that it gets worse. is that the phleghm (how in the hell do you spell that) in my lungs settling higher up in my lung? like when the snot settles from one side of your nose to the other. i'm feelin' better now but who knows what the future holds.... |

Jan 14, 2003 8:41 AM | | If you're totally against homeopathy, ignore the rest of the e-mail. Last year, I NEVER got sick. Hopefully, that got your attention. Now, if you go to your local grungy-organic-grocery-store :-), ask them this extract called "Lymphatonic". It tastes absolutely disgusting, but it's got only some herbal extracts. Nothing chemical and it'll get you up. I also agree with spitting out the phlegm. I also go into sauna once or twice a week during winter, that'll get rid of your toxins.
Get well soon. |
