Re: Chest Congestion
Oh jeez, my heart goes out to you and everyone that is physically impacted by this catastrophe!
Good info from Tony as always, not negating any of it, but here's what I've done and it worked for me:
Lugol's is good but
SSKI (saturated solution of potassium iodide) is better.
SSKI has a long history of use in emphysema, chronic bronchitis, etc. It is an excellent expectorant:

About a year ago I had something that settled in my lungs. I treated it with
SSKI , Unyquity's lung and bronchial tincture and lobelia tincture. I healed up very quickly compared to those around me.
The question of benzene detox came up a while ago in the io-sup forum. I have no experience with this...but FYI:

Here's more info, once again no personal experience with this:

Here's a write-up on how benzene is metabolized:

Benzene is metabolized by the liver and deposits in bone marrow, fat, so obviously keeping your liver in tip-top shape is a no-brainer, you've been around these forums for a good long time now so I'm sure that you've got that covered.
For long-term, chronic benzene exposure I'd suggest panchakarma. I'm the only person I know that's attempted it and unfortunately I can't provide a glowing report as eating nothing but kitcharee constipated me, but I'd love to attempt again, with some tweaking to the protocol, maybe eat raw.
Panchakarma is an ayurvedic cleanse and it has been clinically proven to move toxins out of fat. The principle is internal and external oleation...like removes like.
Here's more info on it, in no particular order:

You can also find info on panchakarma in the Andreas forum.
To your health, Rudy:) Take care...
