    @jaimeluciano

    Hi Jaime,

    I had phlegm but nearly stopped it by using Serrapeptase.  Started it over 4 years ago and take 720,000 SU nightly on an EMPTY stomach and NO other meds for 3 hours on either side. You can start at 480,000 SU.

    Serrapeptase sees pills as dead protein, it dissolves them faster.  Did that once with niacin – wish I h…[Read more]

    Hi @jaimeluciano, nice to hear from you — thanks for the update on how you’re doing. I’m glad to hear the phlegm order has subsided, I know that can be so difficult to navigate. I know a lot of patients who are on a low dose/maintenance dose of prednisone, so I’m glad that is helping though so sorry to hear about the faster progression of IPF.…[Read more]

    Hi Jamie – Just brief answer until I know more about your circumstance.  About 16-17 months ago I started developing phlegm that was constant. So I did as much research as I could and discovered Serrapeptase helps many with phlegm but has been used to help heal scar tissue in the liver, no one is sure if it helps heal the lung scar…[Read more]

    @jaimeluciano

    Hi Jaime,
    Thanks so much for writing – I always love hearing from you! Great reminders too about outliving the prognosis of this cruel disease. I wish you and your Mother weren’t plagued with IPF but I am so glad she had 10 years, and that you continue to manage without oxygen yet. I hope this continues for you a long time!
    Kindest…[Read more]

    Hi Jaime:

    A lot of good information and advice on this thread, and I hope it brings positive results.

    I would like to add one other thing. I bought an adjustable bed a couple of years ago, prior to hip replacement surgery and find keeping my head elevated, while sleeping is an effective way to get rid of phlegm. Alternatively,…[Read more]

    @jaimeluciano

    Jamie,

    Serrapeptase is a dead protein dissolving enzyme so it is important not to take it around food or pills because it wastes the serra and causes the pills to dissolve faster. For those reasons I take it twice a day about 3.5 hours after breakfast and 10:30 PM. Those are the lessons I have learned in 9 + months.

    I started with…[Read more]

    @jaimeluciano, @swanlw45

    Hi Jamie and Linda,

    I started taking serrapeptase 8 or 9 months ago after some research and self-testing. It is a big part of my daily regimen. Most of this has been shared elsewhere but it is important to understand a few things about serrapeptase.

    Serrapeptase is measured in SU so be sure you get a pure form. I…[Read more]
