Kickas.org Forums Treatments, Drugs and Alternatives NSD and diet-related; need NSD cough drops!

I had a HORRIBLE cough this winter and was in a panic, as I am also sugar free, so the chances of finding a cough drop that fits the bill are like Limbaugh winning the peace prize....

The thing that I finally did was sip a really, really thick gelatinous warm (but not hot) broth. The one I made was with chicken feet, as that is the most gelatinous. It worked like a wonder, as it coated my throat and instantly took away the tickle and the junk coming up from my lungs (yes, it was a very scary cough). It is crazy, because the whole cough resolved itself about a day and a half after that, before that it was just moving deeper and deeper in my lungs. A few weeks later, I gave some to a friend with a similar deep scary cough and the same thing happened.

I highly suggest chicken feet broth for the taste and nutrition/healing, anyways. It does take a bit to get used to the "these things are mad creepy" factor, though.

Good luck,
Stacey
