Hydrogen Therapy. I’m a 78 year old male, with severe IPF, diagnosed in January 2018. I’m on Esbriet and oxygen. I’ve been told that breathing hydrogen or drinking hydrogen enriched water is beneficial for many chronic diseases including lung conditions. I’m rather suspicious that it may be a scam. Has anyone heard of this or any knowledge of it, please View

Short Bio

I was diagnosed with likely IPF in April 2018, but it may have started many years ago, as I have had a cough for 15 years. My lung function is 96%. I am not generally breathless, but do find difficulty with sustained walking uphill.

My specialist is monitoring me every 6 months and my readings were improved last September. I am not on any medication although I take various anti-oxygent supplements, serrapeptase and Chinese Herbs

I excercise as much as possible; mainly walking 4 miles a day and occasional visits to gym.

While on holiday in New Zealand (Feb 2019) I am trying a 6 session course of full body laser therapy in a laser pod.
