Mucinex to Clear Junk out of Your Lungs?

[Feely]

Ever try it? Does it work? My doctor said to try it, but I'm hesitant. 

[Reciprocity]

I haven't tried it.

If your Dr. gave it the green light, why are you hesitant to give it a try? Just curios.

Just took it for the past week. Really works well. If Doc said go Inwould use it for sure.

Congratulations Feely on 6 days !!!

 

What is going to really clear the garbage from your lungs is time, not medications.

 

Several months after you quit, the cilia start to grow again in your lungs.

 

These are small hairs that clean your lungs. When you smoke, you burn them and bury them in the garbage tar, and they cannot do their job.

That is one reason why smokers often become more sick more often, and stay sick longer than non-smokers, because the smoker lungs do not have the capacidad to clean themselves.

 

At about 6-9 months in your quit, all of these hairs have returned to your lungs and really start to work to remove the garbage.

 

This cleaning process takes a very long time....years !!! For me, it is only in the last year that I have not noticed that gray/brown garbage coming from my lungs, but I know the process continues. Most of the time it is simply swallowed, and you do not realize it.

 

I attach a foto that shows what the lungs of a non-smoker look like, and the lungs of a smoker. This will help you understand why the process of cleaning the lungs takes so long.

 

 

Keep going !!!

 

Keeping your quit is so much easier than to ever smoke again, and it will always be worth it in every way that you can possibly imagine.

Oh, man. That picture. It makes me want to cry.

 

Thank you for all that information. It's only been a week for me on the patch and I just get head cold like symptoms and a lot of throat clearing and an occasional dry cough. 

 

Yes, I can see why it takes so long! 

 

The reason I was hesitant with the musinex is that I'm on a lot of medications for other things, and I didn't want to add another one to the list.

Plus, you can't drink on it.  :P  

 

I really appreciate the replies. Thank you!
