I've been sick twice in the last 3 months. I believe these are viruses. The first was viral bronchitis with chest congestion, not sinus. The one I presently have is a big mucous producing virus. My husband and I came down with it exactly on the same day with exactly the same symptoms. I hate this one because neither of us can breathe, and we are both wheezing.

The first big day of this I did 4 coconut oil pulls back to back, with oil of oregano in two I did it until I wasn't coughing up any mucous. This was great, and the effects lasted for quite a few hours. By the time they came back, I was down for the count for the evening and did not OP anymore.

This morning I woke up feeling better, but still ill. The mucous has gotten thicker. I just did back to back pulls (4 of them) with an oil called Total EFA with oil of oregano. I'm doing my last one now. The first three I had to run to the sink within about 15 minutes. I coughed up tons of stuff from my lungs. As of the third, I was able to keep the oil in for about 20 minutes, and coughed up half as much.

I'm hoping this last pull will produce no mucous. My nasal passages are also completely clear right now.

When I had viral bronchitis, I was shocked at how quickly I recovered. I never did end up with those chest jarring coughs. I pulled and pulled during that illness, and believe I got much of the mucous out.

I think OP is amazing for this. One of the most effective expectorants out there.
