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 with itchy dry skin, a symptom of diabetes or high blood sugar. the reason I mentioned was that anyone with itching long term of the skin should have a blood sugar test , just Incase.

Hi , Another article which in one section includes Protandim and the role of oxidative stress.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4807858/
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 !

A link to Protandim and some indications of it’s uses. Zoe
Prestigious American Heart Association Journal, “Circulation,” Publishes New Peer-Reviewed Study With ProtandimSoles 4 Souls
Dr. Norbert Voelkel and researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) demonstrated the ability of Protandim, our patented dietary supplement composed of five highly synergistic “indirect antioxidants,” to protect the heart in a laboratory model of pulmonary hypertension in rats.
“We are encouraged by the results of this study, which was independently funded and independently conducted by Dr. Voelkel and his colleagues at VCU,” said David Brown, CEO. “These results illustrate the unique antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic properties of Protandim. Scientists have long known of the involvement of oxidative stress affects susceptibility to right heart failure in animals. Although it would be premature to conclude that similar benefits would be seen in humans, these remarkable results open the door to the possibility of future research on pulmonary hypertension and Protandim in humans.”
Pulmonary hypertension is a health condition characterized by high blood pressure in the circulation between the heart and lungs and can result in death due to right heart failure. In the study, animals pre-treated with Protandim experienced strong cardioprotective effects. Protandim was shown to protect the heart by increasing the expression of protective genes and by preventing the formation of scar tissue, or fibrosis, in the heart. The study showed that Protandim also prevented capillary loss in the heart muscle of the animals. Protandim also prevented the death of heart cells and significantly lowered osteopontic levels by more than 50 percent. Osteopontin is a factor that leads to scar tissue formation, a cause of heart failure.

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 cure, but the effects are very positive and has very few negative drug interactions.I will try and find a link to a review.

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 at the hospital. I am sure it has improved my mothers condition as the dictor is amazed at her recovery rate. I decided to share as I feel any info into others experiences gives us all somewhere to look. I am looking forward to hearing other remedies and paths others are trying. In the uk over 75 my mother has not been given a treatment option, ie anti – fibrotic, as nice guidelines of nhs regard her as not cost effective treatment option.Ie It is not offered. I have felt it is important to keep researching and looking for similarities and others experiences. such a huge support to join this forum Thank you !

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 there is a possible metabolic link , hence the metformin having some results ?

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.

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 flu remedies failed. I gave it to my mother in hospital and I am sure she recovered from her exacerbation due to the anti viral affect. It stops viruses replicating, also having influence on herpes viruses, ie glandular fever and other lung viruses. does anyone else use this ? Zoe

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
