I had a persistent low-level phlegm of a cough that just won't go away. I kept thinking it will turn the corner but it never quite made it to that turn. The cough was the type that just made it difficult to talk, as I kept getting interrupted by the cough, yet there was no phlegm coming out, but you could tell it was stuck somewhere in the windpipe.
I got into this condition, which I would call a low energy condition, when I got into some supplementation that made me urinate very often. Even at night, I would be waking up four times just to pee. With less sleep, and a lot more urination, I was probably not building enough glycogen stores, and I was losing potassium and thiamine, and perhaps a few more electrolytes such as sodium and calcium. But this all goes down to a heavy acidic load due to the supplement I was taking.
When I stopped taking this supplement, I quickly turned the corner. I did all the things mentioned above pretty much, they did not help at all for my condition. I was even on 6,000 mg of vitamin C, and it did nothing. I think it's because my liver and kidneys were focused on ridding my body of acid that my energy was being exhausted. Probably getting rid of the acidic condition was more important to my body, hence the cough was something that can wait. We can sense the cough, but we don't sense the acidic condition inside us.
You could probably ask your cousin a few questions relating to his lifestyle. What are the supplements and medicine he has been taking? What food does he eat. How much sleep does he get and how well is that going. Is he waking up a lot? Is he urinating a lot? My questions are directed towards the acid-base balance in his body. With my recent experience, I now realize how important that is, as it relates to our body's ability to produce energy with a good and efficient metabolism. A poor acid-base balance puts that out of whack, and if that is not being fixed, it puts the body in a low energy state that is unable to summon the strength to overcome pathogens.
