Thanks Charlene and Steve,

Great to have input from both of you.   The article on the herbal mix does not mention upcoming Clinical trials, but it is “oriented” toward a scientific review of the medication.

I certainly agree that this is a grey area.  While I have no immediate medical team member who could assist, I am visiting Cleveland Clinic for an evaluation mid month and will certainly bring this up with the physician I see there.  Hopefully, something will turn up.

Your thoughts on the article would be appreciated, as well.

All the Best in 2019.

Thanks to you all for sharing this useful information.  I have had IPF for 2 1/2 years.  Recently I found information on one other herbal remedy I wanted to bring up for anyone’s comment.  It is called PMO14 and is a combination of 7 different herbs/plant species.

It was referenced in the following article:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-35320-8
The medicine is a product produced in South Korea.  I have no direct contact with them to date and truthfully would feel much safer with a contact or at least a recommendation from someone in the U.S.

Several of you have brought to light different herbal options.  Certainly there must be a knowledgable person or a supplier in the U.S.   Interested in any thoughts or suggestions.

The best to you all,

Susan
