You¡¯re very welcome, Julie. You know, when the cough starts with a tickle in the throat (especially in this season), it may well be an allergy. You are doing many good things to raise her immune system, and sometimes the immune system goes into overdrive. I¡¯m saying this as an allergic asthma patient who always gets this nasty tickle in the throat, especially at spring time. It¡¯s not dangerous, but very annoying and unpleasant, of course. I usually get rid of it by taking Siberian ginseng (a.k.a. Eleuthero) in the morning for about a week. It calms down the immune system and brings it back into balance.?
I hope it¡¯s the same reason behind your mom¡¯s cough. It¡¯s extremely common at this time of year.?
God bless,

Hi Ivanka:
Bless you for responding. My mom has dry cough and her voice is still a bit constricted at times.?
Yes, I was secretly hoping that it was a "detox" or the cancer on her pleural lining was dying causing her that frequent dry cough to expel any dead particle. I have elderberry cough drops at the house? but I have been giving her throat calm tea. She claims that the cough was more like a tickle when she talks, she tends to cough.
Yes, her appetite is better and I am hoping that eventually she will be able to eat a bit more each meal.
I am just very sadden to see her being this skinny.
Thank you again for your kind words and I will definitely look at the site to check out the mushroom elderberry.

Hi Julie,
Is anything coming out when she coughs? Mucous or any liquid? That can be a sign of detox, which is good news. I¡¯ve also heard of people starting to cough more and more and literally coughing out the tumor. You never know...there could be many reasons. There¡¯s an amazing syrup I tried recently which contains the medicinal anti-cancer mushrooms -?Host Defense, Elderberry Plus Syrup, Superfood Immune Support with Mushroom Mycelium and Elderberries ?
I¡¯ve used it multiple times, also in January when I had severe Covid and it was really helpful. I¡¯d try either that, if I were you, or the ¡®Breathe¡¯ formula by the same company (a pure mushroom blend for the lungs). ?
I remember you saying that her appetite has increased a little? I think you should double the FOCC amount, what you give now should be just for breakfast and then another portion in the afternoon. Some people even take 2x3 tbsp of flax oil, total 6 a day. Perhaps you could slowly get there, step by step. But for now I¡¯d double it if I were you.?
All the best,?
- Ivanka?

Update on my mom:
She had a thoracentesis a month ago and yesterday the X ray showed a moderate amount of fluid (less than large) and was noted that there was less in her pleural space on the left side. The better news is that her left lung expanded (which it did not seem to do so in the last 2 thoracentesis that was done back to back on 11/1 and 11/4).
While she is now very thin (barely 115lbs) her pulmonary doctor also remarked that she kept her weight steady. Which is encouraging.
I believe the protocol is taking hold and remain optimistic.? Along with her Chi Kong exercise, it helps to improve her lungs. She is now eating about 4 TBsp of FOCC (2TB oil) twice a day now.
But I noticed she is sounding raspy and coughing more (it's a dry cough). I am wondering if the apoptosis is causing the dry cough?? she did not cough much in the prior months but it is more frequent nowadays.
Any input/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
