It’s not enough that my family is on a paleo-ish diet, it’s not enough that I am on a raw paleo diet. But it seems the pollution going around in the house hold still trumps diet and makes us sick… or “respiratorically” sick… it challenges our lungs.
Neighbor with new chicken farm we are contesting for their illegality, when they came in coincidence we got all sick. Even the maids who live in the next door house. Seems a section of our roof and parts of our ceiling are leaking fine dust from the fine soil from the 2009 Ondoy flood sinking our entire house beyond our roof. And a section on our roof above the toilet, a bare space of bad design that just collects dust and molds.
The mechanism of colds:
The mucus / colds we get are a protective response to pollution. The coughs are there to release phlegm that has protected our lungs deep inside and are now ready to be expelled.
If your throat hurts from coughing tough phlegm, Valda Pastilles in moderation can sooth the throat. Just in moderation, I took too much and made my heart hurt. I’ve had better success with 5 drops of Quantumin Minerals Plus in some 2 shots of gargling water. Gargle with your head tipped back for 1 minute. Awesome relief from soar throat.
Our solution:
Complain to the barangay and have those blasted infested parasitic laden chickens move out. It’s illegal for them to be here anyway. And they are noisy, nose pollution. Non stop cock a doodle doo.
Boarded up the open section of the ceiling.
Sealed up the crevices of the ceiling.
Buy 3F Filtrete and add it to our air conditioner filter.
Bought an Air Purifier to help clean the indoor air pollution from molds, bad germs, chemicals.
Will be exploring the costs and estimates of stripping the ceiling or roof and removing all the left over soil.
And we have taken a vacation house in Calamba, Laguna for the weekends. Will leave after I post this blog…
