    Yes I have been taking liquid Zinc that I get from mail order. The website is vimergy.com. It definitely helps with my immune system when I feel a cold coming on. My use of  zinc keeps my cold symptoms milder and length shorter.

    I usually take 1 to 2 droppers full as my daily maintenance dose and use the 1 or 2 droppers full spread out  over 4 or 5 times  during the night and day if I have a cold.

    As far as helping my IPF, all I can say is “I am Still Here”  with no noticeable side effects from my taking the liquid Zinc. I was taking the zinc tabs  before but I found the liquid to be more effective for me.

    I hope this helps.

    Karen,

    My hiflow O2 tubing is green also.  If you have a bit of both types of tubing you can see that the green tubing is sightly larger in diameter if you put the high and low flow tubes next to each other.  Also my O2 delivery company confirmed that their green tubing is high flow.

    LoraLee,

    I too could not find any information about OFEV specific foods to eat either.  I found that eating food recommended Anthony William seems to agree with me. He has a live cooking show on Amazon TV (Wednesdays at 3 pm EST). He is also is on YouTube, Facebook, and, Rumble along with a few other social sites. You may find some foods and recipes you like and can use from his information.

    Luke,

    I also have an OxyMask and Love It and recommend it.

    I am on a constant flow of 6L /24 hrs. My canula was making my nose crusty and sometimes it bled.  I keep my nose hairs trimmed short to keep the crust at a minimum, which helps. I read a recommendation  in the forum to use some olive oil and it worked fairly well but I still had the crust build up overnight. I started to look for alternatives to the canula and came across the OxyMask and bought the largest one, me being about 6 ft tall, and not knowing the size that fit my face,  I used it for about a week and noticed no crusty build up and my nose was healing. I also had to adjust it’s positioning on my face often. I noticed the package showed different sizes so I ordered the regular fit through Amazon (about $20 US) and it works great so far. I still use my canula when I am eating. I hope this helps.

  • Richard,

    I know it has been over a year since this post, I was wondering if you have any latest updates on the results of your alternative medicine approach to IPF.
