Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I cannot say enough good things about this book. THANK YOU, Dr. Jamie A. Koufman!!!!!! I have had a chronic cough over 6 years and no physician has been able to figure out how to treat me. I've been allergy tested, ENT's have used the scope of nasal passages to look down throat and at vocal cords, pulmonary function tests, chest xrays, chest CT, put on advair and albuterol even though I did not test positive for Asthma (which did nothing to help the cough and actually made it somewhat worse in trying these options) and was finally recommended to go to a acupuncturist. The acupuncturist treated me several times and recommended a combination of: Health Concerns Lily Bulb Formula and Xanthium Relieve Surface. I took these 3x3 each per day for the first couple weeks and within a month, my cough had become subdued, though had not gone away entirely. I was just so thankful something was working. The thing is, with these supplements you should alternate using and not using them. When I didn't use them, my cough returned. Some further history: I've been on acid reflux medications since 2003. I've purchased a tempurpedic bed so I can raise the head each night. I have changed my diet. I stopped eating hours before bedtime. I stay away from spicy foods. My cough has been so violent at times that I've vomited, coughed up blood, choked on froth my coughing has created and my voice goes very hoarse after coughing, if I can talk at all. If I breath too heavy, it can trigger a coughing fit. So, I have been shallow breathing for 6 years and it has caused shortness of breath. I've dislocated my TMJ during the early stages of this cough when it was super violent. I sometimes choke for no reason. I feel my food is not all going down, but gets stuck. I am constantly clearing my throat. I have been telling the physicians that it's in my throat. I can feel a tightness and if I yawn, turn my head side to side or up and down, it brings on a coughing fit. When I talk on the phone, I cannot get through a conversation without violent coughing. I even feel it more on the left side than the right. After reading the beginning chapters of this book, I thought back to when this all began and I had a sinus infection I tried to treat myself and it ended up turning into a bacterial infection in the throat, in which I needed two rounds of antibiotics to get rid of. When I went to an ENT in the past year, she did a look down with the scope and commented that something was different about my left vocal cord, though other than that, everything looked normal. She even sent a normal report to my physician without mentioning the vocal cord. In this book, it talks about this and I said, "Hallelujah, someone has figured this out!!!" So, if you've had a chronic cough with no relief, get this book!!! I personally recommend the supplements from Health Concerns if you can't get into a physician or treated for this debilitating condition. People just think... "Oh a cough, no big deal." It's a huge deal to those that suffer from it because it alters your entire life.
