Case Study
Bill was a moderate smoker for many years, and as a effect he had a chronic hacking cough. When he finally quit smoking, he began drinking Solomon's Seal Tea to soothe his throat and lungs. He started coughing up green and then black mucus. This worried him, but at the same time, his cough was more "productive", and he wanted to expel as much of the toxins as possible from his lungs. There was a vital decrease in coughing in the first week, then the cough continued to subside over the next few weeks. He continues drinking the tea once a day (and lots of water) in an effort to undo some of the long-term damage.
Final Thoughts
Although Solomon's Seal Tea has many perfect healing properties, we are not trying to offer you a magic bullet. It works perfectly for some and less well or not at all for others. Time and maybe manifold approaches may be required to heal chronic conditions that have been developing over a number of years. Acute conditions, on the other hand, (such as pneumonia, broken bones, or any serious injury) often want immediate healing intervention. After the initial intervention, however, Solomon's Seal can be a withhold in the healing process, such as recovering from surgery or maintaining a chiropractic adjustment.

Please be sick person and keep track of your daily dosage, changing symptoms, and any improvements, even if gradual. When unpleasant symptoms subside, it's easy to forget that we ever had them. Writing things down can make the healing process a good studying experience.
