    Is anyone taking NAD+ and zinc? There was a study done that showed good results taking the two supplements together. https://www.kplctv.com/2022/09/09/health-headlines-zinc-may-stop-reverse-progression-deadly-lung-disease/

    It could be that the lasers are better, or, that they know more about them. I’m glad many chiropractors are now using laser and red light therapy for lungs.

    I don’t think that would matter. I think the body would take whatever collagen is there, and there is always collagen. In other words, I don’t think it matters how much collagen is in your body. I asked my dad’s pulmonologist if it would be okay for him to take collagen supplements for extra protein, and he said it would be fine.

    Hi Liz, can I’m just wondering what your symptoms were before the laser? My dad just had two months of it, but hasn’t felt much improvement, if at all. Doesn’t mean it hasn’t done something good. He has fibrosis after doctors took the “do nothing” approach with his COVID pneumonia. What was your diagnosis?.

    There is a red light laser therapy, and red light therapy. Apparently they work in different ways, so it’s worth trying both of them.

    Hi, do you know what the Biomax does different than the other light therapy panels. It’s so expensive.

    The ones online are not Class IV lasers which is what the chiropractors have. They may not be as strong, and not penetrate as deep. But please let us know if you feel a benefit from using the one you bought. You never know…

    Steve how soon before you felt relief? My dad has been having it done three x week. He had 23 sessions. Before that he was getting the hand-held class 4 laser for about a month, also 3 x week. He is a little less fatigued, but not sure if it’s from the laser.

    Sorry about your mom. Make sure she does breathing exercises. There is a device called The Breather. You can get it on Amazon. She should do that twice a day..about ten times each time. There are also important supplements like vitamin D, zinc, melatonin, and omega 3’s. Cordycep mushrooms help too. There is also an enzyme called serrapeptase and…[Read more]

    Does anyone know if it’s safe to take gainer shakes? The ones that are over 1000 calories? There are a few that have no sugar in them.

    Try Benecalorie. You can add them to smooties or coffee. Each cup has about 330 calories. I get them on amazon. Also, Quest makes chocolate chip cookies that have 250 calories and are sugar free.

    Recently read that Azithromycin might help with fibrosis…i think it actually showed to reduce fibrosis in mice.

    Yes, I feel like these are not new exercises. Well, the humming one was, but the other one is not. Either way, I do believe that breathing exercises are beneficial.

    Zinc supplements need to be taken with copper. Taking zinc alone can deplete copper. Also, has anyone heard about Azithromycin helping with PF? It has reversed scarring in mice. I think they are going to start trials.

    Hi Steve. Can you tell me about your experience with laser therapy? How many times a week do you get it, and how long before you felt some relief? Thank you!
