Hi Kitty!

I apologize for not responding to your post before now. Don’t know how I missed it, but I SO appreciate what you had to say about the copper. And you are so right about not solely depending on AI for researching information – especially serious information.

That list of copper found in common foods is very helpful.

Thanks again,

Judy

This is indeed very interesting. I read something about this a while back when I was trying to decide if it was safe to take cough medicine at bedtime to ease my cough during the night.

Does anyone here take Vitamin E and/or NAC? If so, have you noticed it helping in any way? I had to quit taking Ofev on March 1st after about 1 1/2 years. I had developed severe stomach pain so bad I almost went to the hospital…not to mention, almost constant, embarrassing, diarrhea. I tried everything suggested trying to keep it under control.…

@Mack

Hi Mack!

I have been taking Ofev for about a year and a half. I have been plagued with diarrhea since I started it. It saps my energy, depresses me, and has pretty much turned me into a recluse. I have tried suggestion I have read about and nothing works reliably.

I never feel like going anywhere – even if the diarrhea would allow it. Even…

And Marilyn,

I ordered the copper on April 9th, so I must have been taking it since around April 13th.

Hi Marilyn!

Yes, I did start taking Copper right after my post. I’m taking Thorne Copper Bisglycinate 2mg and Thorne Zinc Picolinate 30mg. From what I understand, taking the Zinc alone causes Copper to decline.

Since starting the copper, I had to decrease the oxygen output on my machine (from 3 to 2.5) because my oxygen levels were getting too…

I suppose I am guilty of too much research…always hoping to find the magical elixir for our problems with the lovely lungs.

A few months ago, I started taking zinc after reading about it here. I never thought about what repercussions and imbalances might occur.

Then today, I stumbled on some information about how taking zinc could cause a…

Well, I did resort to vinegar and water for mopping the kitchen and bathroom and it worked pretty good.

I also ordered some toilet bowl cleaner that is supposed to be safe to use – it didn’t work very well and still took my breath away.

Last night, I ordered some “7th Generation” cleaning spray that’s supposed to be free of all harmful chemicals.…

I am no longer able to run around in a frenzy keeping my house clean. I’m sure many of you can identify. LOL!

I have to divide cleaning projects into small chores and even then, have trouble staying motivated. Also, all of the cleaning products I used to use on a regular basis can no longer be used. The last time I tried, it took my…
