Re: Iodine and asthma

Grzzz-
The documentation for lobelia for asthma is in Dr. Christopher's work. He would give a large, strong cup of peppermint tea first to the person (if you are quite large I would drink 2 cups). One of the things peppermint does is relax smooth muscle which is the type of muscle the rings around the bronchi. Then after waiting 15 minutes, he would start giving the person 1 tsp. of lobelia tincture every 10 minutes until they start vomiting. When they vomit, the diaphragm pushes against the lung area. The person throws up what is in the lungs as well as throwing up what is in the stomach. People with asthma usually report throwing up green mucus. The roommate of a college aged co-worker, who had asthma, tried the remedy and reported throwing up green stuff. He was able to breathe much better afterwards. In addition, he always had to blow his nose copiously in the morning after getting out of bed and he no longer needs to do that.

Be sure and have at least 3-4 oz of lobelia tincture on hand. Two ounces was enough for one person, but another person only had 2 oz of the tincture and it was insufficient to make him throw up. He lives in a small town and had to special order the lobelia so there was no dashing down to the store to get extra when it was needed. So he will have to do the entire procedure over again. Tweet
