Finally after five full weeks of dreadful chemical bronchitis I have control of the coughing without antibiotics.

I can at last sleep in the evening without 3-4 hours of coughing. Also in the mornings I awaken with no cough.
This is after 22 hours of sauna & heavy niacin dosing & supplementation.

I still intend to do the full 100 hours of sauna detox and am by no means fully well yet. My chest is still infected.

I will remain vulnerable to chest infection until this is fully mended which will still take weeks.

All of this because I breathed in solvent fumes for a few days.

I am taking herbal replacements for antibiotics, echinacea, olive leaf, oregano oil & beta glucan.

I can add a few more things to assist my immune system & negate the phlegm – will add those in coming days.

Also I have used my autogenics to suppress the urge to cough & heal my lungs.

I believe the initial chemical exposure damaged the lining in my bronchial tubes. This is somewhat similar to burning your skin with acid. In turn it becomes vulnerable to infection & becomes itchy.

So a cough is much like an itch – if you keep doing it the wound will not heal.

So the phlegm and infection must be handled at the same time that you reduce the cough. In this way the cycle of chronic illness can be broken.

Fortunately weight training & cardio are good for the condition and my training remains unaffected albeit under far less comfortable circumstances.

Here is some great info on the detox program http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/05/04/detoxification-program.aspx
