Lately I have another bad cold replete with constant mucus buildup in my throat, chest and throat.

Do you guys think MMS(Miracle Mineral Supplement) would help or be worth a shot? It seem like an affordable avenue to explore.

im surprised nobody has asked what your diet is like? it could prove to be a simpler fix than you might think.. you said vegan, so that helps eliminate some possibilities. how much sugar do you consume on an average day? this includes things like fruit, honey, maple syrup, etc. also, how much fat in an average day? salt? these things in the wrong proportion will certainly cause mucous flare up (i've had this issue since i was 5)

Right now I don't consume standard artificial sugar really. The only thing is the almond milk I drink has 6g of cane sugar per cup. However I only use it mixed with Bearnaked oatmeal(usually the berry flavor with only 3g sugar mostly from the berries and from evaporated rice syrup) or with this imiation barley coffee mixed with alot of water and I add Nunaturals brand stevia as sugar substitute. Also I don't eat much fruits at all.

Lately I got a new product called Nusalt, so I should be avoiding standard salt too more.

I don't know how much fat I get in, most likely not enough lately.

I just ordered these two from Iherb:
Life Extension, Rosmarinic Acid Extract, 60 Veggie Caps
and
LivOn Laboratories, Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C

After hearing this article read on the Gary Null show: https://www.naturalnews.com/034591_vi...e_healing.html
and then watching the New Zealand news expose that also highlighted that Alan Smith took Livon's Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C at 6 grams to overcome his swine flu which left him close to being removed from life support and dead. Also Gary talked highly on his 12/11/11 Talk Back program @ 34:30 min. about Rosmarinic acid for fighting allergies for its ability to kill off excess allergy-activated immune cells, while leaving intact the immune responders. A good article by Life Extension Magazine on this: https://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2004/...allergy_01.htm

Thankfully due to this, my runny nose, mucus, sinus and allergy has been under control for the most part. How should I take the Lyposomal vitamin C to try to wipe this problem out? Yesterday I took 7 grams, one about every 2 hours. Is it more advisable to take even more at time to flood my body and destroy whatever is the underlying problem?

im no expert, but that sounds like a sufficient amount to me, if not a bit of overkill. as a referrence point, those emergen-c packets are about 1000 mg (1g) and they reccomend that dose about every two hours as needed, but as far as i am aware, there aren't any eminent risks from taking more than ones rda of vitamin c. other vitamins, yes, but this one can pretty much be had in abundance. anyone, feel free to comment/correct me.

interesting that your fat and sugar intake is not high. do you live in a cold climate, or in a scenario where you are cold then hot then cold then hot throughout the day? or possibly consume a more acidic diet?

i remember one of the early things i learned from researching ayurveda was a preparation for consuming dairy. the preparation was to gently heat it with the spices: ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom (then add a light amount of honey to take away any bitterness from the spice) to prevent the mucous and inflammation associated with dairy. i've experimented with this on my own and have found them invaluable in the prevention of excess mucous. as it stands i don't consume dairy but on very rare occasion, but the combo works quite well at any rate.

a sidenote: they can be used separately, but work best in conjunction with each other. i have found that even just sucking on a small portion of cinnamon, then nibbling on it till it's gone works pretty well in it's own right for mucous, especially after meals, but still doesn't compare to the trio.

edit: i just found this as well: "Parsley can help with expelling watery poisons, excess mucus,..." https://www.natmedtalk.com/showthread.php?t=5587

very watery vegetables can help thin the mucous too. things like celery, fennel, nappa cabbage, bok choy, etc. carrots do this as well, in conjunction with water, and so much so that they can even dry out the sinuses if one eats too many.

Finally I am pretty sure I stumbled on the cure. I decided to splurge on a fancy no fluoride toothpaste even though I am unemployed:
Himalaya Herbal Healthcare by Botanique, Neem Pomegranate

I notice that I don't wake up with mucus in my throat. Also when I go outside my nose barely runs, and even then it doesn't drain into my mouth or throat.
