MemberMarch 27, 2023 at 5:20 pm in reply to: PF secondary to COVID pneumonia–did anyone receive the drug baricitinib?Has your husband improved on Cellcept? One pulmonologist prescribed it for my dad, but another one took him off of it saying there is a chance it causes pneumonia. I feel like they never explained how pneumonia works. I think the same has happened to you. Everything I know, I learned online. I didn’t know that as the pneumonia improves, it may also cause scarring..that the scarring is the body healing. No one told me that. So it makes me wonder why they were so quick to get him off the steroids. I know steroids have their issues, but I have read on here many people who have been taking them daily for years without problems. The anger I have, is that my father was cheated. Not given any drugs. I have lost faith in our doctors, the hospitalists are a joke, here one day, tomorrow you’re another hospitalist’s problem. And they wonder why so many die of COVID??? I too have many questions just as you question what would have happened if they started the meds sooner. Is your husband taking melatonin and high doses of Vitamin D? They are supposed to help with inflammation as well.

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 do SOMETHING. Either way, murderous. If anyone who went through medical school doesn’t know that steroids help stop inflammation with ANY pneumonia, then they have no business being in medicine. Glad in your case the doctors were proactive.

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 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.

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.

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/

MemberMarch 30, 2023 at 12:08 pm in reply to: PF secondary to COVID pneumonia–did anyone receive the drug baricitinib?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 a part of it, I feel odd leaving 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 break down scarring, so I’m wondering why Serrapeptase is the one everyone talks about. At this point I’m thinking way outside the box. I’m even going to have my dad try earthing, since they have studies that show it relieves inflammation.
Anyway, thank you for your reply.

MemberMarch 27, 2023 at 5:49 pm in reply to: PF secondary to COVID pneumonia–did anyone receive the drug baricitinib?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 also caught up in the covid BS. She died in another hospital. Choked to death. A woman with dementia left alone, behind closed doors. I couldn’t visit either of them. She was not in the hospital because of covid, but had it a month prior…just the sniffles. Her death certificate says “hypoxia” (recent covid). No mention of choking. So anyone would think she died of covid complications. If she had still tested positive, it would have said covid. I just have to try to push it all out of my mind. It was a horrific time for me. I used to think that one could feel safe in a hospital, and hat they want the best for us. That idea has been shattered. I’m starting to question a lot. I’m seeing clearly now, and it’s scary. I tell people what happened with my dad, some are shocked, and some, I can tell don’t really believe me. This has been an eye opener. And I don’t care who I offend when I say that there is something behind all of this.
I’m sorry to go on, as your husband’s death was so recent. I hope we both find peace.

MemberMarch 27, 2023 at 5:31 pm in reply to: PF secondary to COVID pneumonia–did anyone receive the drug baricitinib?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.

MemberMarch 27, 2023 at 5:26 pm in reply to: PF secondary to COVID pneumonia–did anyone receive the drug baricitinib?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?

MemberMarch 27, 2023 at 5:14 pm in reply to: PF secondary to COVID pneumonia–did anyone receive the drug baricitinib?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.
-
You are right. They are not treating people. I find it hard to believe that so many doctors don’t know that ALL pneumonias are treated with antibiotics or steroids. And all pneumonias can cause lung scarring. This isn’t news, like they make us believe it is with this virus. 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 scary time to say the least. It’s as if everyones good judgment has gone out the window.
-
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 from other causes.
-
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.

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.
