      Hi Tony — thanks for circling back and writing to us about this. I know it will peak others’ curiosity … do you mind letting us know how you make out with the order, and whether or not you feel it helps? The more information the better. Thanks for sharing and wishing you best of luck with it.
      Charlene.

    The report at https://www.emphycorp.com/pulmonary-fibrosis-treatment

    Good luck Lorraine!  Sounds like fun.  I have picked up my guitar again after many years and it is difficult.  Even more difficult than playing is trying to sing along with it.  I have very little air in my lungs and can only get out a few words.

    Charlene,

    I purchased the herbs requred to make the PRM mxture but it is far too complicated for me to make the mxture itself.  I did not pay attention to it at first but upon closer inspection saw that it was not a simple matter of sticking some weeds in the blender then boiling them in water.

    As the instructions in the study stated it…[Read more]

    I was asked about a source to buy tcm herbals.  I have purchased some of them from East Earth Trade Winds,  http://www.eastearthtrade.com/

    It turns out that mixing up this stuf into a liquid or suitable form to make tea from is not simple and you will probably need a lab or whats known as a compounding pharmacy to make what you need.  Na…[Read more]
