TREATING CHEMICAL INJURY: STEP BY STEP

Basic Steps to get started

Because of your inflammation, begin dilute and increase gradually as able. Irritation means you need more dilution, not an “allergy”. All nebulizer/nasal and most oral substances you were born with. As healing progresses, you can use more.

    1. Buffered vitamin C twice daily building up to 1 gram/per dose. If irritation, start with small pinch, work up gradually.

    2. Use 1 Ultimate E (Thorne), Xcellent E (Xymogen) or Gamma E Gems (Carlson’s) WITH FOOD (contains 200 IU gamma tocopherol). If needed, puncture gelcap, begin with 1-2 drops mixed with food and increase as able.

    3. Use taurine 1-2 capsules mid evening to help fall asleep and/or 1-2 at bedtime to help night awakening.

    4. Use AeronebGo nebulizer: (evomedical.com). Use water (or saline) alone first time. Nebulize at least 3-4 times daily, more often with exposure, when sicker or to get better faster).

    5. Add 2 ml (droppers) of water to nebulizer first, then add 1 drop concentrated specialized vitamin B12 (hydroxocobalamine) in nebulizer. Never put B12 in first. For 5 mg strength you may need to dilute with 5-10 drops or more of water in extra small brown bottle. Gradually increase to 5 mg full strength.

    6. B12 can also be taken by sublingual Perque B12 Guard tablets, 2 under tongue 4-6 times daily, more if still symptoms.

    7. Some people are too inflamed to start with nebulizer/nasal B12. They can speed healing by once daily hydroxocobalamine IM in lateral thigh or upper outer quadrant of buttock. Clean skin with Zephrin or alcohol.  Begin with few drops of 5 (or 10) mg/ml (do not use cyanocobalamine) and go to 1 ml/day.

    8. Some people need folic acid in a 2:1 ratio with B12, to calm autonomic nervous system (“wired”).  Folic acid also scavenges formaldehyde. Scientific Botanicals sells Folarinse (folic acid) drops. This can be used in your nebulizer, on your tongue and/or nasal spray to help calmness (daytime, bedtime and/or night awakening). It can also be dropped on the Perque B12 Guard tablet.

    • With exposures, use Perque B12 Guard 2 tablets under tongue until symptoms clear. You can increase vitamin C, E, tocotrienols, bioflavinoids, other antioxidants.  Perque B12 Guard can be carried with you when away from home AS A RESCUE KIT.  Use often to slow down vicious biochemical cycle causing body inflammation.
    • If you prefer, make your own B12 nasal spray to help prevent and stop reactions. Use 1 drop of strength used for nebulizer with ½ to 1 dropper water or saline. Spray every few seconds until symptoms clear.  B12 is stable without refrigeration.

    9. If you have Rx for glutathione, also add 2 drops glutathione to 2 ml water in nebulizer. If any irritation, dilute further to below irritation level. Let healing proceed and increase concentration gradually, staying below irritation level. If okay, increase glutathione (using with B12)add 2 drops, then 4, 6, 8, etc. until you can use glutathione without water. If you have irritation (coughing, etc.) reduce dose below irritation level until more healing, then slowly increase again.

    10. Begin NSP capsules (or B complex and/or antioxidant Rx) with food in the stomach: one with a meal for a few days, then one with a second meal for a few days, then one with third meal. If any irritation, open capsule and begin with a pinch in food, increasing gradually to full capsule. For NSP slowly increase to 2 with meals, then gradually increase further. If any irritation, reduce and wait to increase until more healing. As you increase NSP you can gradually reduce/omit extra C.

    11. When you can use glutathione 10 mg/ml, gradually increase concentration with pharmacy, e.g. 40mg/ml, 80mg/ml.

      + If you have symptoms within an hour of nebulizing, discontinue. Then for mild symptoms dilute further, and go up more gradually. Worse inflammation needs more dilute amounts or beginning with Perque or daily injectable IM hydroxocobalamine.

    12. Glutathione (GSH) can be taken in other forms (convenience/respiratory irritation). Kirkman: topical GSH designed to absorb through skin; Wellness Pharmacy: oral form in liquid or capsule naturally coated to resist destruction in stomach.

Sinus/Ear Congestion Nebulizer Technique (AeronebGo nebulizer)

      a. Begin by nebulizing through nose. Close one nostril; breathe in other nostril (with nasal “nipple”). Then switch nostrils.

      b. Breathe in through your mouth while holding tips of both nostrils closed.

      c. Hold breath several seconds, still holding nostrils. Use other hand to close back slits of nebulizer so vapor enters sinuses and eustachian tubes to relieve ear pressure.  Breathe out through nose.

Nebulizer Cleaning

Use immediately after filling to prevent nebulizer malfunctionClean immediately after use. Take apart, rinse well with water. Run water through nebulizer to create mist for ½ - 1 minute following each use to unclog filter.  Air dry.

Diet is Important

The foods you consume have an effect on the repair of your body from chemical injury. Eating the right foods will speed the healing process. Eat organic foods as often as you can. Learn what to eat, how to prepare and eat it, and why certain foods are better for healing than others on the Eating for Healing page.
