Best advice for PF symptom management

Has anyone tried WEI Lab Chinese herbs? I was taking them for 2 months and I had 3 improved lung function tests in 5 months and my breathing has improved. I play hockey and have noticed a big improvement. I am getting a CT scan in 3 months to check the scarring progression. The Cleveland Clinic dr wants me to go on an anti-fibrotic. He is involved with the drug that is in phase 3 that is reducing and reversing fibrosis in mice. It may be less than a year away, GLPG 1690. There are testimonials from many with improved results that have IPF and COPD, some cured.

Are you currently taking an anti-fibrotic medication?

no
