I used to have SEVERE chronic bronchitis and asthma. It is completely gone after doing antiparasite cleansing and high dose vitamin c/salt. If you don't want to do the parasite cleansing, try high dose vitamin C (esther c)powder. I read somewhere that vitamin C can help relieve asthma.
I once had a doctor do IV vitamin C when I had very bad bronchitis and it was gone the next day. Vitamin C is a natural antihistamine and boosts the immune system. Google Vitamin c + asthma.

momintexas .. Very sorry to hear that your mom is not doing well.
Is she being given a steroid inhaler or steroid pills?
If it's an inhaler, she could be having problems with a fungal infection in her lungs. I know I took the inhaler a few years ago when I had a bad spell and I eventually figured out it was just making me worse and worse.
I weaned myself off and was much better .. emphasis on WEAN!!

Thank you for the replies.
My mom is really stubborn and I seriously doubt I could get her to do a parasite cleanse, but I'll definitely try.
I think she'd be more open to the Vitamin C, thanks so much for the suggestion.
Lymetoo....she had been given steroid injections for quite some time. At one point, they apparently had her on 80mg.
They currently have her on a steroid inhaler.
I know she has high candida levels. We are about to get her levels tested again, but I suspect they will still be very high.
Antibiotics don't seem to help her much at all, so I suspect it's viral or fungal.
It makes it harder when she doesn't give me all of the information.
I had no idea she was being given steroid injections for so long. Posts: 1408 | From Tx | Registered: Nov 2009

Golden Seal - THESE ARE ANTIFUNGAL and can make a huge difference!
Also , ivermectin helped me get off all asthma meds after YEARS of battling asthma and bronchitis. I think I had "lungworm" which is quite possible with LYME or CFS . I still take it a few times a week . I
I used to constantly struggle to breathe. Oregano oil and powder herb is wonderful and many people have reviewed it at amazon or iherb and say it helps with lung issues. That is how I discovered it .

Maybe msdixie's ideas would be something your mother would take?

I was going to say fungal infection since it's after cancer and Lyme treatment ... I see a few have already brought that up.

WPinVA....thank for you mentioning Chlamydia pneumonia.
I had forgotten about that one and just called her Dr's office to see if they can add it to the
blood work she had done yesterday. I do know mycoplasma was on the list yesterday.
We are way too familiar with that one. Tough one to beat.

Thank you lpkayak.
We actually have a mold specialist coming out to see if they have mold.
They just redid their house and I suspect the "new" smell isn't helping things.

So...interestingly enough...we just found mold in the HVAC unit in our attic. I definitely do have CPN (multiple positive tests) but now am wondering if this mold - which developed over the summer -- may have prevented me from getting over it.

Wow, looks like a lot to deal with. Hope she's feeling better by now. I'm surprised that a doctor said one cannot get allergies later in life. Lots of people do.
Diet is key, but as you know it is very hard to get people to change.
Good luck.

"Dr. Nagy is not a LLMD, however she understands the kind of toxicity issues faced by many with Lyme. She did not have Lyme but overcame very serious MCS. She spoke at the 2011 & 2012 annual ILADS conference."
You should contact her for more advice, since your Mom has Lyme. See #4 on the last page of her homepage.

I would suspect mycoplasma since it is a fairly common coinfection. Particularly is phlegm is a symptom.

D Bergy, thank you for your reply. I suspected that as well.
Both mycoplasma and chlamydia pneumonia came back negative - which really surprised me.
