Nebulizer Treatments for Asthma vs the Beach and Salty Sea Air

by

My wife and son are doing nebulizer treatments for asthma. We all got mucus and phlegm and coughs but the 2 of them were the worst hit. They were both down and out and could not go to work or school. My 2nd boy missed only one day and our girl missed only one day. I gave them Valda pastilles to sooth their throats so they could expel their phlegm forcefully without pain.

Why does it seem to be such a waste that my wife buys tens of disposable nebulizer sets? Why does that hose and mouthpiece have to be disposable? Why not just buy 2 sets? One for my wife and one for my boy. Seems germ theory has a role to play in making these items sell more.

Found out there is even a market for individual plastic saline solutions. Saline equals salt + water. In individual disposable, sealed bottles. Another profit product. Why can’t I just use good old sea salt and mix it with filtered water?

So my wife says this is effective. I’m now thinking how much better off she and my son would be if I took them out to the beach and stayed overnight? Nebulizer Treatments for Asthma vs taking time off to go to the beach. I’ve pushed the beach idea so many times but she likes her nebulizer.

So about the chickens. Some police paid a visit to the neighbors with the fighting cocks. So far it seems they have removed SOME of the chickens, but not all of them.

We are back in the house, but this time with the windows closed and we turn on the air conditioner to filter the air. More expense for us.

I should be more vigorous next time with the beach idea… throw in some fishing. But I’m still glad nebulizer treatments for asthma are around… good thing for emergencies. You don’t need to stuff drugs or steroids in it. Sea salt will do.

Entire Family and Nannies Sick of Colds, Cough, Phlegm… Air Pollution from the new Neighbor’s Chickens?

by

Unbelievable. One by one. The first nannie, then the second nannie, then my wife, then my first born son, then me, then my 2nd son, then our daughter. We all got colds, cough and phlegm. At first we thought it was some kind of germ brought by a 1 year old nephew. But as more than a week had progressed… we began to notice a pattern… it must be those noisy and maybe pestilence infected new fighting cocks of the new neighbor.

It’s not a hobby like your common neighbor who may have up to 3 fighting cocks. This neighbor made several structures and a cock fighting friend said it looks like it houses some 30 fighting cocks. Noisy, smelly, pestilence filled maybe, tick filled maybe, flee filled maybe… and chicken shit airborn with stuff maybe.

My wife and son got their medical certificates from their anthroposophic doctor and it says they’re developing some sort of pneumonia and the primary cause are the chickens.

If I remember Hulda Clark teachings she said pets and livestock carry their own set of parasites with them. Pets should not live inside our homes, they should stay out. So what I am seeing is that these 30 fighting cocks have their own parasites in them and they may be airborn and infecting us, affecting us. It takes some time for our immune systems to calibrate themselves and adjust towards these new parasites and the pollution and pathogen within them.

What was outstanding is that in my more than 3.5 years of raw paleo dieting, this is the first time I got a real cold with phlegm. Actually I want more phlegm and more mucus because this type is the sticky, not enough type. So it is hard to cough out. So this cough, cold and phlegm is caused by air pollution. Not diet… at all.

The good thing about being on raw paleo diet for me is that I did get colds, cough and phlegm but it did not weaken me or bring me down… at all. It’s just an annoyance that it is there. But otherwise I feel fine.

It’s my wife and my first born son that are bearing the brunt of this. They are the ones with weak lungs.

This evening we closed all the windows and turned on the air conditioner with a newly cleaned air filter. I will be looking into the market of home air filters, air purifiers.

And the unmentionable what else are we going to do about this…

My Son Has Agreed to be a Full Time Rawish Paleo Dieter

by

My first born son is sick again of something that gives him a lot of hard stuck mucus / phlegm in his chest and makes it uncomfortable to breath deeply. He’s got a slight fever and he has no energy. Must be some germ going around. I caught it too, but my raw paleo diet super powers are holding.

While the boy is sick we put him on a rawish paleo diet. In fact yesterday I put him on just raw fruit only for detox. And today we allowed him some fish tanguige ceviche / kinilaw and seared lamb chops. My son has this ultra craving for seared lamb, seems like this is what his body needs. Lamb is ultra expensive for me, 2x the price of beef. So this evening I had to tell the entire house hold that only this boy eats the lamb I bought.

His seared lamb has some condiments to make it “taste better”. Olive oil, ilocos garlic, salt, pepper, basil leaves. It is seared 5-10 seconds per side. He likes eating his lamb with his bare hands and teeth.

My wife has agreed with me to put the boy on full time rawish paleo diet. Our son will be giving up rice. Even he himself has admitted realizing the futility of his eating rice because he does not digest rice well… just like me. When he eats rice with his meat, his digestion suffers, he wakes up with un-digested food in his tummy.

My first born son realizes that he’s probably just like me. Not the same as his younger brother who has powerful digestion powers he can digest rice and meat combos just fine.

I can now see how we can fatten up our son with a rawish paleo diet. We got lots of raw wild honey sources. Sure fire way to fatten him up. Eat more frequently. 5 times a day. Digest with ease. Juice the vegetables. Rare meats.

This child of ours is the sickliest. He got the colds now but his 2 other siblings are untouched. And whenever he’s sick he gets deathly sick. Good thing my wife and I are well armed and experienced with this. Aside from the pyroenergen, the cough elixir, the mercurious vivus, valda pastilles, my wife this morning nebulized our boy with saline solution.

My wife knows this kind of case very well as she says she used to suffer like our boy did. Only during her youth, she was pumped full of antibiotics every time. That was the technology in the 1970s.

So here’s to a new future for our 1st son on full time rawish paleo diet. We hope to fatten him up real soon.

Black Rice from Kalinga Province

by

I got curious this morning at a specialty Kalinga Province representative products outlet and bought their black rice. Wow. I’ve never tasted black rice… ever. Nor have my family. So I bought. 150 pesos for 1 kilo. 5 times the price of regular white rice.

What is special about black rice is it is a traditional Kalinga provincial people’s only black rice. You would literally have to bribe them with a lot of money for them to sell this to you. Think of it as their personal riches.

This dinner the maids cooked 3 cups of the black rice grains. When cooked it seemed oily and sticky as if tainted by squid ink. I tasted 2 spoon fulls. Black rice tasted different… too different… different from brown, red or white rice. Black rice tasted as if it was smeared with a lot of special flavoring.

I saw one of our maids really liked this stuff. My daughter put a regular amount on her plate and found out that this black rice was very very heavy on the tummy. I’d guess a white rice eater would only need 1/3 to 1/2 the volume in black rice and be full immediately. I’m wondering what nutritious unique properties this black rice has.

This black rice should not be classified as a regular white, red or brown rice thing… it’s something else. Must ask Kalinga people how they use this for food.

S.O.S. From Fukushima English translation

by

Citizens from Fukushima City make a plea to the world to relay the message that they need help.  Seems they are asking for an “official” evacuation order from their Japanese government.  They compare their situation to that of the Chernobyl accident.  If this was Chernobyl, they would have been officially evacuated.

My 2 cents. If the people of Fukushima city are really concerned about their children, they would evacuate NOW. No need to wait for the “government” to tell them what to do. There is such a thing as FREE WILL and FREEDOM of CHOICE. If you think the situation is bad… then MOVE! Decide for yourself. Actions speak louder than words. If you aren’t moving, then you think the situation is acceptable.

Of course if I were living in Fukushima City, the first day I hear about the nuclear disaster I would have moved immediately.

Coughs, Colds and Sore Throats in Season? Germs? Detox?

by

The house hold compound has some sick people these days… coughs, colds and sore throats and flu?  Saturday yaya #1 started a cold.  Sunday yaya #2 started her cold.  My wife had some kind of flu Wednesday she had to cancel her business flight Thursday.  Worst off was our first born son started a cold and sore throat Wednesday morning… he’s the one who asthma like colds where he finds it difficult to breath deep enough.

My sister in law P and I were having a debate as to whether this is detox or germs.  She thinks it is germs.  I think detox.  But how about both?

Detox theory.  I’ve been at the case of our maids past few days trying to stamp out chemicals in their diet.  Although it is a house policy to not use artificial flavor mixes in foods, they are lazy enough to poison themselves with chemical flavor sachets for sinigang instead of mashing their own sampaloc.  They also have the habit of drinking 3 in 1 coffee when there is fresh ground organic coffee in the kitchen.

My point about detox is that it takes time for all this dirt to build up: chemicals, cooked food, etc.  So there are times when the body just has to rest and detox.  Mucus formation in colds is a detox method and it gets uncomfortable with coughs and sore throats.  And if the onslaught of cooked food and chemicals does not stop, then the body says stop, take a rest, builds a fever, rejects food… because cooked food and chemical food is a bad load for the body right now.

Germs?  It’s possible.  I can feel something trying to build up in me as well but I know it won’t get me because I do raw paleo diet and I adjust with fighting methods immediately.

On to my son’s case.  Wednesday he said his throat was sore.  I said go raw.  He again bargained for seared beef barbecue.  I had the special barbecue prepared with our medicinal honey and medicinal garlic instead of the cooking ones.  He had 2 barbecue sticks at lunch.  Other times he had fruits in season.  By evening he was feeling much better.

Then came dinner with re-heated roasted duck.  Peer pressure from his siblings and mom and aunt saying wow to the roast duck.  My eyes roll.  Son pushes for the roast duck.  Mom and aunt say go.  I say nyet.  Outvoted.  I bargain no rice.  So he eats just this cooked duck and cucumber.  As I expected, the following morning son feels worse than Wednesday.  He misses school Thursday.

Thursday morning I got fruits in season and especially guavas which have the highest vitamin C of all.  Thursday afternoon son craves for seared lamb.  I finally got some seared lamb and that sated his hunger also in the evening.  I had the maid prepare a kidney cleanse preparation of avocado leaves tea.  He drank some with a touch of honey.  He says his breathing is getting bad again and he notices some chest pain.  Uh oh.  That’s my cue.

I strap the boy on to the pyroenergen machine for 1 hour to alkalize his blood.  My wife gave him mercurius vivus homeopathic powder under his tongue.  In the morning Friday I put a 50 / 50 mix of water and drug store hydrogen peroxide in both his ears.  At breakfast Friday I gave him ripe guyabano and a shake of avocado with a touch of wild honey.  That got his metabolism running.  Warmed him up to sweating.  And then we sun bathed for some 10 minutes.

Friday boy stays home again.  He is breathing easier.  And we want him to conserve energy, let his hot feelings continue so he can burn up whatever germs or toxins are in him.  He is to go on a fully raw day today.  No seared stuff.  If he craves meat he is to eat a full raw duck egg with the whites for protein.  Wife says no mangoes as in her experience, mangoes cause mucus formation for her… she’s 50% dna of the boy, so I listen to that.  Wife says drink lots of coconuts because that liquifies his mucus and he can easily blow it out or cough it out.  Again, wife is 50% of the boy’s dna so I listen to that.  And she’s the one who gets these mucus and asthma stuff too so that is why biological parents are important in helping children with illness.
