Maynard James Keller replied to the topic N115 nasal spray in the forum Diagnosis Information and General Questions 1 year, 7 months ago
Another symptomatic (as opposed to curative) approach I’m considering is Inogen’s relatively new TAV (Tidal Assist Ventilation) device which purports to deliver more oxygen to the lungs per liter of supplemental oxygen.
Again, this wouldn’t make you live any longer but maybe does have some promise of helping you live better while you are still…[Read more]

Maynard James Keller replied to the topic N115 nasal spray in the forum Diagnosis Information and General Questions 1 year, 7 months ago
I don’t think the maker or the article reported by pulmonary fibrosis news is claiming that n115 is curative in any way.
Rather the claim is symptom relief without improving the underlying disease process. So no one should expect any extended lifespan, that best and improved quality of life while going through the course of the disease.
To me…[Read more]

Maynard James Keller replied to the topic Nattokinase – What dose? in the forum Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis: 50+ 3 years, 4 months ago
I can’t say it helps me or not. I began taking it, berberine, and a vitamin K complex after a heart attack as an alternative to being on Plavix back in 2016. (I’ve just doubled my dose to 4000 FU based on my reading here.)
I’m taking Esbriet and Metformin (based on a preclinical study of mice and IPF), plus a number of supplements I have read…[Read more]

Maynard James Keller replied to the topic Nattokinase – What dose? in the forum Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis: 50+ 3 years, 4 months ago
I’ve been taking 2000 FU of Nattokinase OD for several years – for reasons having to do with being a cardiac bypass patient, and I hadn’t read about its application to IPF until recently.
Now that I’ve added serrapeptase for IPF (40,000 three times a day as per advice in this forum), I’m thinking of doubling the nattokinase. However, that’s not…[Read more]

Maynard James Keller replied to the topic Nattokinase – What dose? in the forum Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis: 50+ 3 years, 4 months ago
I take 100mg, 2000 FU once a day.
I also take Rhodalia (rosavin), NAC, NAD+, and a host of other supplements.
I had been stable for a year-and-a-half until recently. I’m 5 years into my diagnosis.
My previous dose of nattokinase had included red rice yeast, but the supplement company doesn’t have that product anymore. Does anyone think I…[Read more]
