I ignore the ignorant and try to understand the different views, I do not engage with people who for one reason or another do not believe in the Science. Personally I had one of my tenants son die form Covid due to being unvaccinated and watched a serial person who posted about not getting vaccinated and they got covid, that seems to have quieted…[Read more]

Hi Linda,

I would be if I was stateside but I only have meds/supplements for other ailments – and supplements for IPF.  Have a concentrator and looking at portables but hope to get stateside soon as I would try Esbriet.

There are many things we can do to help mitigate some of the symptoms, however.

Stay well,

Steve

Hi Lora,

I don’t take Ofev so not sure of their requirements.  There are several high protein foods such as various types of beans (some are better than others), lentils (many recipes), and quinoa (also many recipes).  The last 2 are pretty easy on the stomach.  Hope that helps some.

Stay well,

Steve

My ear nose and throat doctor said to use the nasal spray with aloe, I have and it has eliminated my nose bleeds due to oxygen use.

@irisr,

Hi Iris,

Does your father use/need a CPAP? If so hooking O2 through it may help, if it can handle his high O2 needs. Also, suggest going to a face mask for O2. I switch to that once in a while and that solves the problem temporarily anyway.

Stay well…

I say no, first if the ct scan is read by a radioligist who specializes in lung disease the biopsy is usually not needed. A lung biopsy can turn into a thoracodomy ( a real nightmare ) when there is plural disease around the lungs not picked up on the ct scan. A world class lung doctor told me after the biopsy when reviewing my records that he…[Read more]

Of course we are, Bev.  You should read some of the other forums regards how many times I have cautioned people when they take something new the impact it may or may not have.  That might help you, too.

Stay well… Steve

Hey Bev, the last time was a little less than a year ago.

@6yearvet

Hey Ben,

I have taken Wei twice and it helped both times. I may order again when I know I am coming stateside. I’m a vet too.

BTW exorcism and witchcraft are diametrically opposed…

Stay well – Steve

When I get a pft testit includes with and without albuterol, there is a small inprovement with albuterol on the test but in real time I do not feel the inprovement. If we look at the pft test it shows before and after.

Hello,  I take allacin, a form of garlic and a multi vitimin, so far so good, 5 years into this terrible disease.

@samgilmore

Hey Sam,

There is another thread with some good info in it you might want to review. I forget the exact title and I started it.  I have taken WEI twice. The first time I need good improvement and stability actually took it 4 months but could have done just as well with 3.  The second time I was in a major battle/recovery from an a…[Read more]

Hi Linda,

I have always eaten hot peppers with little effect before and after IPF(5 years now) I am not on any IPF meds (Ofev/Esbriet) but take omeprazole because it supposedly helps IPF scar tissue due to any acid reflux breathed in. There is an article about it on the forum someplace.

Try looking at lentils, split peas, for a stew…[Read more]

Empthy corp did license it in China but I was not able to order any from China before covid came around. Their is some on going studys for covid useing this spray.…[Read more]

@bobgriffin

Hey Bob,

WEI helped me a lot the first time (2018) but not as much the second time. I  need to add I had an acute exacerbation Sep/Oct 2020 and started WEI in late Nov thru mid-January 2021. I believe it helped me heal faster because more than a year later I am still recovering.

One must be cautious with any supplements because…[Read more]
