Short Bio | My stepfather was diagnosed with IPF in August 2017. He was on Olef which brought him to his knees. He stopped this and was put on Esbriet and within 2 weeks his breathing went to panting. We forced him to stop. We are waiting for the side effects to wear off. In the meantime we have started him on the Wei Institute products and Serrapeptase. I think he will need 2/3 months on these to see an improvement. |
