mucous

[stinkLikeShit247]

One theory I have is that our mucous is so thick and gluey that it sticks to the surface of our mouth, sinus, esophagus, stomach and digestive tract. And when it sticks to the surface, the bacteria stays too and have a feast. This is probably why we don't get sick even with bad breath. The thick mucous blocks these bacteria from going into our blood stream. It would make sense to "thin" the mucous globally in our body and this would drain the mucous along with the bacteria easier.

There is a medication, an expectorant called guaifenesin, for thinning mucus. It has been approved by the FDA for almost 50 years and is sold both over the counter and by prescription for stronger dosages. It reduces the thickness and stickiness of mucus but must be taken with a full glass of water for it to be most effective.

You will have to read labels of cough syrups, but the one that has just guaifenesin is called Tussin or Robitussin Plain and is 100 mg per teaspoonful. Your doctor might have prescribed this for you, when you were having respiratory problems, under the name Humibid (600mg sustained release tablets usually prescribed 2 tablets in the morning and two at night) or under the generic name G-Bid. If you have trouble swallowing tablets, you might talk with your doctor about Humibid capsules (300mg) that are often called Sprinkles, because you can open the capsules and sprinkle these on your food or in liquid.

No you didn't do any research, that article was written by you and there's a link in the article that leads to your website where you sell your e-book. It was clever of you to up your post count before spamming the forum.

lol...Sally should be banned. Blatant spamage.

In relation to the post topic- has anyone tried consistent sinus irrigation/neti pot? (and i do emphasize consistent) or daily steaming (using boiling water and a towel)? has anyone experienced positive results through these methods?

[Archimonde]

My sinuses are so clogged up that i can't use a neti pot, true story. The water just won't come out on the other side.
