Last year I went through a ton of test at UTsouthwest to determine if I was acandidate for a transplant. I was 79 and passed ever thing except for some blockage which could be fixed with some stents. I was turned down because putting in the stents and my age was to great a risk. If approved I am not sure at my age I would have went through with the transplant. So far I am doing ok with ofev and laser treatments.

I changed to a chiro that has the lastest 20w Klaser from one that had the 10w Klaser. It has a built in lung protocol. I have had 4 treatments with the 20w and have seen improvement over the old one. My cough is about gone. Has anyone else ussd the newer Klaser?

My name is Tom Dowell and I am 79. I was diagnosed with IPF in Dec 2018 but I started losing lung capacity in 2017. I started laser treatment with Hanks Chiropractic in Dallas. Hank contacted Dr Hall and obtained the process from him. I have completed 11 treatments and have seen some improvement. I had a spirometry test in oct 2018,jan 2019 and march 2019. The march test was after 7 laser treatments. In order the FVC results were 2.12,1.87 and 1.91. The FEV1 results were 1.74,1.50 and 1.56. From oct to jan there was significant decline and improvement after starting the laser treatment
