Hi to Steve and all in this forum . I read a lot of your posts when my mom was initially diagnosed with IPF 5 years ago at age 84. I started giving my mom a regimen of herbs and supplements after reading about what was helping you. She improved with every checkup. Went off all the nebulizer drugs but continued to use oxy at night. Last checkup they reduced her night oxy from 2 to 1. She has been in and out of hospital last three mos for pneumonia (first bout in 5 yrs) and needing an aortic valve replacement – critical. Her regimen has been SerrakorNK serrapeptase/nattkinase (pricey but excellent), Fei fu kang chinese herb (eagleherbs.com), vit d, quercetin, good quality multi with c, zinc, etc.), and *chickweed*. Chickweed is such an underappreciated herb. It thins and moves mucus. You can take 5/6 at a time for a few hours in a row to stop a bronchial infection. Just drink extra water as it has a mild diretic effect. This is an herb for all of you to get to know. Her cough disappeared with this regimen. Please do say a prayer for my mom as she’s fighting a two-front battle. Thank you all and God bless you!
