the following is based on my experience. When I began using a nebulizer I had been diagnosed with asthma, COPD, and emphysema, ( long time smoker ). I began with straight CS, approx. 6ppm and put about 3 eye droppers full (actually about half full ) , because that is how much I get with each squeeze of the bulb. As to time, it takes approximately 10 minutes to empty the meds container. You might want to suggest that she use her inhaler ( albuterol ? ) about 5 minutes before she begins the nebulizing. If you think that greater lung tissue penetration might help her, than a mix of CS / DMSO - 10 / 1 ratio - should increase the effectiveness, Tell her to take small breaths the first few, it makes me cough, then that stops. I made up a batch of CS / MSM, but haven't found a use for it yet. If you decide to make a batch, begin adding the MSM a small amount at a time and stir until it dissolves, and then add more until no more will dissolve, and the amount remaining at the bottom can be discarded.
