Hi Jacki,

Glad to hear you are having your bloods tested regularly. as Charlene said this is why it is interesting and so useful to share ideas and as you said factors or experiences. So much to consider.

Kind regards Zoe

ITCHY SKIN

 

Hi, I am writing again in response to the letter re itchy skin and ipf, but I noticed again that the original letter mentioned the skin before ipf. yesterday my mother had another blood test result, she has been bruising easily and has slightly swollen numb feet . they have found she is pre diabetic. There is possibly a link… Read more

Hi , Another article which in one section includes Protandim and the role of oxidative stress.

For me , knowing that there is no cure, I am keen to research possible alternatives. Inflamation is a key factor re illness in many organs of the body.Hope this helps !

thanks Charlene, There are many articles and studies on mednet re humans and reactions to Protandim. As I said it isn’t,t a cure but has improved energy and reduces oxidative stress.Would you like me to post more ?

I receive my Protandim through an agent. Kind regards Zoe James

Hi, A Link to elderberry uses. Pneumonia is reduced by elderberry, as well as herpes viruses.

Thanks Charlene,

I buy the elderberries dried from The Real Foods Company, there are many places that sell them. They need to be cooked as raw elderberry is poisonous.  I use two teaspoons of dried elderberry in a pint or so of water and a heaped teaspoon of honey. I stew for 5 to 10 mins and strain to serve as tea.

Thanks Charlene,

I learnt about the benefits at a seminar run by a friend who had cured cancer through diet alongside conventional medicine. There are four studies of Protandim on mednet, a drug testing site. Nfr2 could play a role in ipf , it is oxidative stress related. I have found it increases mums energy , and reduces anxiety, it isn’t,t a… Read more

I mentioned before that I have been using Protandim NFR2 activator for my mother. This is a new drug , natural drug. It increases energy and reduces oxidative stress on the body in thirty days. There are four or five medical trials showing this. I took it myself before giving it to my mother. It has zero side effects  and my specialist ok d it… Read more

Hi Charlene, Thanks for sharing re recipes. I am trying to make healthy desserts.I have been experimenting with sugar free ice cream.

 

One over ripe banana

Lime juice

Coconut cream

 

Mash together with a fork, whisk a little with the fork and freeze. Lovely healthy ice cream !

Thanks Charlene for your message re Serrapeptase, I would love to know what the negative was re ipf. obviously , with the lack of research into alternatives we are all fishing a little for indicators of what works.

Does any one else follow a diabetic regime, have a link with high blood sugar or hypoglycaemia and ipf , as I understand that… Read more

Hi, It is difficult to anticipate germs at this time of year, as they become more prevalent. I am giving my mother regular doses of elderberry which I buy dried and boil in water. This has been apparently very helpful to many for ipf cough and to help with anti viral.The elderberry was used by the uk government in the nineties when other… Read more

Hi Charlene, My mother Began to find scents and  itchy skin with ipf, but it was perhaps her steroid meds with the skin. She is taking a COD liver oil supplement to help relieve skin dryness and it has worked.The scent sensitivity is perhaps because she has oxygen and it changes the enjoyment of strong scents. Hope this helps. Zoe

I have been looking after my mother who was diagnosed with ipf  in March this year. she had an exacerbation of her illness in April , was on 19 litres of oxygen with sepsis. she had antibiotic intrevenously and she was given 40 mg predisinone steroid as well as other meds.

I have given her Boswellia capsules, Nfr2 Protandim, ( which is… Read more
