    My lung issues started out with a head cold, bronchitis, and pneumonia, which put junk in my lungs. 3 years later I got Covid pneumonia which made my fibrosis grow. That when they started calling it IPF . My research points to viruses can cause PF. Western meds don’t know how to deal with viruses

    I have been diagnosed with IpF for about a year and a half. I started taking life extension green tree extract 750 mg per day over a year ago I can’t say the CT scans have not shown improvements, but it’s possible that there would have been more growth. My blood test 2 showed my liver function great. I have been on a journey of weight loss for a year and a half and I have not showed any extra weight loss while taking Greentree extract for about a year.

    I take green tea extract/EGCG 750 mg 98% it has caused no ill effects. I have gotten rid of my acid reflex within a month, doing apple cider vinegar twice a day with water and a sweetener. Now, if I have issues, I do apple cider vinegar, gummy‘s they work. But I don’t have any prescription at this point in time. I have had PF for about a year and a half and on supplemental oxygen.

    Last year my Ct scan and endoscopy showed a 4-5 cm a hiatus hernia.i did 2 things that I believe helped me. I sta An anti-inflammatory diet. I also started 2x per day a regiment of ACV , 8 oz water and stevia. I stuck to it for a month. My acid reflux is gone, un less i eat like the old way.my pain in my hip has significantly been reduced. My next scan the hernia was noted as a sliding hernia, no size noted! It’s smaller!

    I have been on supplement oxygen for about 1 year at first they told me 1 while sitting and 4 when walking. I live at sea level. After 9 months i was able to not wear my oxygen while sitting or laying down. I use an oximeter and check it’s bee running 94. When i do a normal walk( slower than a year ago i have my oximeter. If i move to fast my oxygen drops below 90. A health professional told me to slow down keep moving. Do purse lip breathing. Readings between (85-89) are yellow light warnings. If i get below this i was told to stop turn up my oxygen do purse lip breathing
