Hi Sherry,

My dad passed away yesterday. We found him sitting at the table. Had just finished lunch. There was no sign if distress. The only peace I have is that it seems he passed quickly. That was what he wanted. It must have been his heart. I will be signing out of this site, but it’s strange, as much as I didn’t want to have to be… Read more

How can there be so many drugs still in trial phase that go to nothing? They make them all sound so promising, but then nothing comes of it.

Thank you. I too have found so many studies, but they seem to go no where. I can’t believe it’s only Ofev and Esbriet. Do you know anything about proteolytic enzymes? Serrapeptase has helped some people, but it seems that a small percentage get violently ill from it. When researching the other proteolytic enzymes, they are also said to… Read more

Yes, I’m so sorry! I just read that he passed, but hadn’t seen that when I sent my first message. My dad feels the same way. It’s been a hard year. He is 86, but before this he was 85 going on 70. Very active, and strong. I can’t forget what they did to him, and I’m not ready to forgive. While he was in the hospital, my mother was… Read more

I’m so sorry for you. I think I know exactly why mainstream media never talked about this drug. For the same reason they tried keeping hydroxychloroquine from us. I’m sorry for us for having gotten caught up in the evil that surrounds this “pandemic”. This many ppl never should have died. This was truly a sick travesty.

EVERY pneumonia can cause fibrosis. Not sure why they are saying this is new with COVID. COVID pneumonia should have been treated like every other pneumonia. With high doses of steroids right away. The government told the hospitals to treat this one differently. Why?

Yes, I did see that on aspirin. I wish they would say how much to take. I also read on Health Unlocked, a UK site, where a woman finds hydroxychloroquine helpful for her pulmonary fibrosis.

He was fortunate. For my dad, first they did nothing, then when they finally admitted him a few weeks later, they started him on a low-ish dose of steroids. Not sure why everyone was calling our healthcare workers heroes during COVID…maybe the nurses, but not the doctors. Most of them either politicized this, or were too brainwashed to… Read more

Has anyone heard of Nuformix? It is a repurposed drug for Pulmonary Fibrosis. https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/1010245/nuformix-ipf-data-as-good-as-we-could-have-hoped-for-says-director-1010245.html

Has anyone heard of Nuformix? It is a repurposed drug. From what I understand it will be inhaled. So far they say it performed really well, and with no known toxicity.

https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/1010245/nuformix-ipf-data-as-good-as-we-could-have-hoped-for-says-director-1010245.html

I’m wondering if anyone has… Read more

You are right. They are not treating people. I find it hard to believe that so many doctors don’t know that ALL pneumonias get treated with antibiotics or steroids. Meanwhile, if someone tests positive for COVID they will NOT give you anything. But if you are negative, they will. Hmmmm…

I’m very sorry for your loss. This has been a… Read more

Has anyone heard of Malva H? I’ve seen it on here, and I know the plant. My dad always said that it is a medicinal plant. It’s from the same family as the Hollyhock. I believe the whole plant is edible. Anyway, would love to know if anyone has heard of this, or tried it.

Cathy, how are you doing today? Have your lung issues worsened?

Try the supplements because I also read that bromelein the enzyme in pineapple is similar to serrapeptase. It can eat away at scar tissue. But from what I’ve read, no one seems to have had sick feeling from it.

Jeff, do you get tired often? If so, is it because you are not sleeping well, or after exertion during the day?

Hi Catherine. You have PF. IPF is Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and that is when there are no known external causes for it, such as exposure to chemicals, etc. From what I understand the IPF means that it’s an auto immune disease. That the body is creating the fibrosis. In the end it’s the same problem, but one starts in the body, and one… Read more

Other than Ofev and Serrapeptase, does anything else help? I’m afraid to have my dad try those because of the potential awful side effects. He does not need that now. Thank you.

Hello. What does it mean when oxygen doesn’t help with breathing. My dad has lung damage from doctors doing the wait and see with covid pneumonia. Since they never gave him anything for it, he developed fibrosis. The oxygen keeps is o2 up, but it doesn’t help his breathing. Thank you.

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… 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.

Please let us know if you see positive changes from the Serrapeptase and Nattokinase.

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

Are you taking supplements that help with inflammation? Vitamin D, Zinc, melatonin 20 mg, omega 3’s.

Try this right after you eat and see if it helps your sugar…if you ever find that your blood sugar is high.

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.

Kim, how do you know that it’s not the ovef that has made you better? Thank you for sharing this information.

Thank you for sharing this exciting news.

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!

This is impressive. I’ve seen other studies as well. BUT, no one here is talking about the potential for developing pneumonia with serrapeptase. Is the chance very low? Is there something one could do to avoid getting pneumonia while on serrapeptase?

Are you taking a blood thinner?

Hi Millie. Does the cupping/deep tissue massage help with your breathing? Thank you.

Hi. Did you happen to come across issues with developing pneumonia while taking Serrapeptase? I am not reading anything about that from anyone here on this forum, yet when I do a google search, the information is there.

Hi. Where do you live? I thought they only did this kind of treatment in a few countries.

Thank you.

He is bringing something to the table. If he hadn’t talked about PRP I wouldn’t have known about it. And from what I understand, it can be a very beneficial lung therapy. BTW, stem cell and PRP are not THAT different. There are different kinds of stem cell therapies, they are different, but also similar. The end result is supposed to be… Read more

I agree 100% with you! I’m glad he brought this to this conversation.

Can you say what the other supplements are that you take?

Ben, thank you for bringing this to the table. Some people live life with blinders on…and are happy that way. I just don’t understand why they have to be nasty just because they don’t agree with someone else’s views…especially when they don’t even know what it’s all about. Please don’t stop sharing any ideas, or information you may find.

Just curious…when you went to the ER, or hospital, did they treat your pneumonia? Did they put you on steroids? My dad was sent home with NOTHING. It progressed, just like all pneumonias do when left untreated. But because it was COVID, they said they do nothing! Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience. But it all comes down… Read more

They act as if all the other pneumonias don’t behave the same way. They all do this when left untreated. ALL pneumonias can cause scarring if left untreated, and sometimes even when treated to a degree. I feel like I’m living in a wacky world these days.
