Cure Pulmonary Fibrosis: Lung Disease Natural Remedies

Are there any updates to Jimmy from Dallas re Pulmonary Fibrosis article? I have the same condition, but there is very little user experiences articles to read.

Any news from Jimmy of Dallas Texas ? How are you? My husband has pulmonary fibrosis. Have you tried serrapeptase too? Has oil pulling helped you? How are you now?

Any news from Jimmy of Dallas Texas ? How are you? My father has pulmonary fibrosis. Have you tried serrapeptase too? Has oil pulling helped you? How are you now?

I red in in a book (Maria La Justicia Bergasa, she is from Spain) that some people got cure from pulmonary calcification using magnesium chloride.

Kk: Herbs that help kidney function are Cranberry, Parsley, and Slippery Elm.

As for the p fibrosis, the common antibiotic Doxycycline is effective. How the Doxy reacts w/ the other meds I don't know, check w/ doctor or pharmacist.

The product "PainRx" is an herbal extract that reduces inflammation which is a leading factor in progressive fibrosis.

When you say you take NAC 600, is it 600 micrograms or milligrams? Is it taken once a day or two or three times a day and when - morning, afternoon or at night? Is it taken after meals and with a sip of water?

I am sorry to ask you so many questions. Please forgive me.

Dear Octavio,

I am so sorry about your father's suffering. And it is hard to watch our parents suffer. He is blessed to have you wanting to help him!

Apple Cider Vinegar is a good thing to try. Safe and inexpensive. Try to find raw and unpastuerized. Start him on 1 teapsoon per day in a glass of water. The next week, try 2 teaspoons per day. The next week, try 3 teaspoons per day. Times of day aren't critical--one glass in the morning and one in the evening. I just sip on my vinegar water throughout the day.

I am hoping someone else knows about dosing the Aloe, I don't have much experience with that.

Do some research on this site about Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation therapy. It helps get oxygen to the lungs and helps with healing. We have used this for my asthmatic daughter with success.

I also bought an essential oil nebulizer for my daughter with an essential oil blend called "Lung Healing. " It has helped her a lot. I highly recommend it, though a diffuser is not cheap.

I get the oil blend here:

If you have a way to make him fresh carrot juice, that would be really good for him.

Please keep us posted on how things work for him.

Hello, it is my understanding that iodine deficiency is fairly common in western developed nations, especially since the bread and baked goods industry stopped using it as a dough conditioner in the 1980s replacing it with bromine, and since the dairy industry stopped using it for teat dip, again replacing it with bromine. Also the low salt craze means people are not eating enough iodized salt anymore (processed foods are not required to use iodized salt, you have to go out of your way to buy it and use it at home). Further compounding the issue is the use of chlorine to sanitize municiple water (which is cheaper but much less healthful than using ozone or ultraviolet light) and fluoride to treat tooth decay (questionable benefits, multiple harms). Long story short, these halides displace iodine, even though iodine is needed by your thyroid and every other tissue in your body. Iodine serves hundreds of necessary functions in the body and one of these is to prevent cancer and fibroids. I cannot recommend your mother take iodine if she is already on thyroid hormones: You will need the help of a qualified holistic dr which I highly recommend in all cases. If she is not on thyroid hormones you could get her to try kelp tablets which have iodine, selenium, and other trace minerals from the sea. I personally use lugols 2% iodine (amazon) as a preventative measure with selenium tablets 200mcg (super fresh).

Hi Joseph, I have seen these two supplements mentioned in regard to Pulmonary fibrosis but have no experience in this treatment. One of them is also thought to lower blood pressure. This may be of interest for your Mother: http://www.inflammation-systemicenzymes.com/pulmonary-fibrosis.html?start=1

Best wishes.

Anyone want to get rid of IPF (Idiopathic Fibrosis of lungs), please try homeopathic medicine....Nitrium Phos 200. Take this medicine everyday and be happy and trust in God. Please try to be happy all the time. Worries only add to the disease.

Where do I get Nitrium Phosphate 200? My husband has PF and Dr's have suggested Palliative care. I don't want to give up on him!

Stacey, Amazon and 1 800 homeopathey are some sources.

Although I would read through Teds remedies here on Earth Clinic.

He is spot on with his remedies.

Hello, a year ago I joined my husband in Montreal. I was never diagonised in Pakistan but in Montreal I have been diagonised with moderate IPF(lungs fibrosis) The homeo medicine you mentioned is to cure slowdown or simply help breathing and is it available in pakistan? plz reply thanks

Please read Dr. Batmanghelidj book called ABC OF ASTHMA ALLERGIES & LUPUS. He has some very wonderful information on how the body works and how to maximise your health even if you are dying, come back to life. Water, salt, minerals, nutrients in the right proportions and at the right time for the body to be optimum health.. hope you get to have your mother for years to come ...

Hi Nikul, if you can share your contact details please. My mother is also an IPF patient. We can share the valuable information.

I have just started my serra and nac useage about two weeks now, how did you determine the dosage you need to take? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Honestly, I just go by how I feel, what the labels tell me I can take, but I did it religiously for about the first 6 -12 months. I've read that some people feel better taking 40,000 units rather than the 120,000.

I did neglect to mention that I also take magnesium and vitamin d daily. Sometimes magnesium citrate, and sometimes a brand that says that it's high absorption magnesium, 100% chelated.

I never took lungs formulas or other systemic enzymes, like I read that others do when I was researching about it, and I personally would avoid taking anything with nattokinese, because it doesn't know when to stop lysing.

Father(NONsmoker) w/ lung trouble many years. No blood but cough uncontrollably, too much to bear.

Got Exposed to black mold in the house he was in. Coughing worse, very severe!

Were you ALSO exposed to MOLD infection? His lungs show 2/3rd black&dead.

How homeopathically cleanse body of mold, will Serrapeptase&NAC, etc. take care of this??? Mucus he coughs-up is clear...

Can you shed any more light on this? You seem to have won your battle.whew

Was there ever a mold connection for you? Thank You, and congratulations!!

Hi. Sounds very encouraging. I just bought neprinol and NAC. Pray it helps my very scarred lungs due to scleroderma. Hope your still doing well. How many did you commence with? Blessings and thank you!

I don't know about a mold "connection" causing my PF. It could have been any number of things... But since I didn't get into all that with the pulmonary doctor after she told me she wanted me to have surgery for another issue that she was concerned with, in addition to the lung biopsy, there's no way for me to know. I used to cough uncontrollably also.

Will the Serrapeptase and NAC take care of it? I don't know, but the alternative is well, not good.

All I know is that there was a package for Pulmonary Fibrosis that I could not afford, so I've done what I can with the money that I have. I've tried to figure out what would be similar, as they used serrapeptase, a formula that I think had serrapeptase and nattokinese, and some other things. The closest enzyme I could find that had the other things, I found in a enzyme formula, and since we are not allowed to name a specific formula, the ingredients in it are pancreatin, protease, amylase, lipase, bromelain, rutin, papin, serrapeptase, trypsin/chymotrypsin complex, trypsin, chymotrypsin, amla fruit.

In a few months, when I can afford it, I may add that formula to my aresenal.

And then, I've used the NAC, but alternated it with mucolyxir (microdose dna). I think the objective is to get the mucus out.

I used to wheeze so loudly that I had a hard time going to sleep, and although I'm sure I wheezed throughout the day, as soon as my head hit the pillow. So that's improved, because I hardly notice it anymore.

See, I was diagnosed with asthma about a year before the other diagnosis. My doctor wanted me checked for asthma because I was coughing a lot, and it took a month for me to get the pulmonary function test. The woman who did it suggested I tell my doctor my lips were blue that day. So, who knows which came first, the chicken, or the egg (the asthma, or the pulmonary fibrosis?

I also do read healing scriptures, Psalms 103:1-4, Isaiah 53:1-6, Psalm 118:17, and all the healing that Jesus did in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. I don't see where He refused to heal anyone that came to Him.

My friend has idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. He noted that many of the patients at the clinic he goes to, many WWII pilots or crew, were exposed to fine oil particles in the cockpit during missions--everything was covered in oil when they would get back. He feels this is the cause of his disease.

Hi Diane my father has been diagnosed with Ipf n I've started him on serreptase for one week now he take 30mg a day after how long did u c results n what
is NAC? I want to understand his condition therefore researching n speaking to people with his condition

Many thanks

Hi

My mother is diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2014 and under taking medication as per pulmonologist advice (in India). 10 different medicines, including Pirfiner (200 mg) thrice a day

After recent visit to the clinic and disease progression, clinicians indicated maximum survival of 1 year. My mother is under 16 hours of Oxygen support at home.

I had come across Earth Clinic through google, and read positive reviews from people affected by PF, but not very clear about the dosages and combination of alternative medicines they are taking. Will it be possible to arrest the disease progression, by taking serrapeptase (enzyme) and Hydrogen peroxide. However I am not sure how to get these alternative medicine in India. Does anyone know where to buy them to ship to India? Can anyone advice the dosage for these medicines.

2. Can we take these medication along with other medication given by Pulmonologist?

Looking forward to hear from you at the earliest

Sivakumar S

Diane,

Thank you for your posts. Would you explain why nattokinase "doesn't know when to stop lysing" from your 3/22 post? And why is serrapeptase different from nattokinase? I tried to find the info in the internet, but couldn't. Thank you.

That is amazing news Dianne,

When is your next MRI or CT Scan? Would love to hear whether the enzymes have made any structural differences and how your lung function is?
Do you feel the enzymes are working effectively over time and what has your doctor said about you condition since supplementation?

Also what conventional treatments are you currently on?
I'm worried the enzymes would interfere with the immunosuppressants I'm on or heart meds like blood thinners and blood pressure tabs? Would you know where I can find more guidance on this.

Good luck to you and I'm excited to hear your response.

Hello, what is NAC? My Grandmother is 88yrs and I want to try this home remedy. Thanks.

EC: NAC is the Acronym for the supplement N-Acetyl Cysteine.

Can you advise in a little more detail on how to take the supplement for pulmonary fibrosis and if I can implement this treatment myself or need a doctor to do So?

My grandmother has ILD Intestinal lung disease and pulmonary hypertension she is 65 years of age and has been taking medication for the above for last 3 years .M y question is if serapeptase would help?

Dear Siva,

My mother's IPF condition is very similar to the one described by you. She is currently undergoing treatment in Mumbai with Wysolone/Cellcept/Pirfinex. She is currently on 14 hours home oxygen daily.

There has not been any improvement in her condition so far. Could you let me know your contact details, so we could exchange valuable information.

Natalia,

I only went to the pulmonary doctor once, so I've never been on any conventional meds, and I've managed to avoid any more MRI's and CT scans, since the initial ones. I do take a B/P med, and I am prescribed two inhalers, which I keep in case I feel short of breath at all, but I rarely need them.

My last visit to the doctor she said my lungs sounded clear, and that oxygen thing they put on your finger said 98%. Don't know how accurate that is though.

I went through something about a month ago, a lot of coughing, had to get some mucolyxir to get that thick and sticky mucus out, but I'm back to "normal" now.

I read here on Earth Clinic several years ago, that asthma can be triggered somehow by acid reflux, and I do suspect that has a lot to do with some of my issues, so I try to eat several hours prior to bed.

But my go-to supplements for the fibrosis are serrapeptase, and I have added nattokinase, but in the past that has caused nose-bleeds for me, so I am careful with that, and Rejuvenzyme, which seems to have just about all of the ingredients in one of the items in the package that was out of my budget. Ideally, I'd take the serrapetase and revenzyme three times a day, but that has never happened, just because I don't think about it. And then I do take the NAC with vitamin C also. But I prefer mucolyxir to NAC for mucus.

I'd like to know what caused the fibrosis, but I'm just not curious enough to go for a biopsy and have three holes in my lung from chest tubes. Curiosity killed the cat, so they say :) Perhaps if I get to the point where I can't breath I'll change my tune.

Does anyone know what is the recommended dosage of serrapeptase for pulmonary fibrosis?

My brother was diagnosed in February of 2017 with IPF. Where can I get these products and how are you doing now? Looking forward to your response.

There was a comment from a gentleman dated 04/16/08 for the IPF. He stated that he was on some enzymes (for 2 weeks) and has seen some improvement. I would like to know what they are: my father has IPF and I am trying to figure out what to use. thank you.

To Tonja via Deirdre,

Although I have been on Neprinol for a matter of weeks I have seen some very positive improvement in my condition (IPF) and also some bonus changes unconnected to IPF.

In the matter of IPF I was having great difficultywalking any real distance 200/300 yards,especially on flat amd hilly ground and light activity in the garden (digging,weeding and moving the wheel barrow around with light loads) and 15 minutes or so would find me very breathless.Whereas, now I can work for at least 40minutes with the mower/chopping with the axe/digging with the mattoch etc and whilst I will then be quite puffef out my recovery time only takes about 7/10 minutes.

As for the "bonuses" -these can be seen in the slow dissappearence of a scar on my upper lip that has been there for many many years (I am 82 ) ,my right wrist which was fractured badly some decades ago and only had about 75% rotational movement is now as mobile as my other wrist, also I am noticing a vast improvement in my ability while driving my car,to turn and twist my neck and head to look left and right over either shoulder to check for traffic.Prior to this my flexibility in this area was quite restricted due to R/A,This brings me to another bonus ie; I no longer take anti-steroidal drugs for R/A and have no real pain in my feet and hands.

I hope my experience gives you some insight into what course of action you should take for your father,keeping in mind that all meds do not work for everyone in an identical way,but I do feel that ,as the old saying goes "If it wont help, it wont hurt".It certainly is helping me.I am looking forward to my next chest x-ray to see if there has been any significant improvement in my lung condition(about 3 months time).

Has anyone had any relief for Pulmonary Fibrosis using Neprinol? How much did you take? Would also like more info on these other enzymes...Thank you!

Hi everyone. My mom just got diagnosed with these lung problem. Please keep posting your comments. It is helping me to act quickly to help my mom. Thanks.

Hello All,

My mum was diagnosed with end stage pulmonary Fibrosis. She is in palliative care at home. Since she came home from the hospital, she is much better. However any small exertion, she gets out of breathe and feels as if she is going to pass out. It is very difficult to see her suffer like this.

I have read many helpful comments on this site. Is there anyone willing to share their experience on the phone conversation? It will be greatly appreciated. My phone is 416-293-4232.

May you all always be well, happy and peaceful. Usha

U: First item to address is greatly improving the quality of indoor air. Replace fiberglass filters w/ HEPA or HEPA Type(generic HEPA), and purchase a Negative Ion Air Purifier.

Zinc & Vit-A is critical in protecting & healing lungs. The mineral Silica is also critical in lung healing. My stomach nor Colon couldn't tolerate silica tablets taken orally so I have added Diatomaceous Earth powder to my mineral footbath w/ noticeable improvements in my PF. The flavonoid Quercetin Dehydrate capsules taken orally will help w/ the inflammation. An herbal product named "PainRx" is a potent anti-inflammatory. Fish or Krill Oil softgels is both anti-inflammatory and promote healing throughout the body.

A good broad spectrum otc natural supplement for lung disorders is Solaray's "Lung Caps".

Please let me know your latest possible treatment of Pulmoiary fibrosis. my dad is running in to advance stages and needs oxygen on 24x7 now. Thanks in advance. Maneesh

M: I and others have posted remedies for this condition here http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/pulmonary-fibrosis-lung-disease-remedies.html on E.C.

Try any or all these suggestions and report back so we can help you.

I was dx with pulmonary aspergillosis. I had lived in 3 houses with black mold, but my cough didn't become chronic until I caught a serious respiratory illness from one of my daycare kids around 2002, that I don't think I ever fully recovered from.

Around 2007 an x-ray revealed 3 nodes in lower right lobe and it was determined to be A Niger.

It's worse am/pm and after eating or being exposed to aerosol toxins. I tried many things over the years including HP, serrapeptase... anything anyone had to offer. Nothing worked. I couldn't tolerate the oral HP, and never tried nebbing it.

I finally resorted to an expensive, complete dental revision removing/replacing all materials with more bio-compatible materials (tested for this) in 2011. Extensive, 8 hrs under conscious sedation. Numerous serious infections.

My docs believed that the fungus was adhering to fibrosis which would be eliminated with a specific protocol. The dental metals tend to adhere to fibrosis as well and complicate things, which would improve with my detox protocol.

I eliminated dairy and all processed foods that contained Calcium-anything (never 100%, btw) and began taking Bioavailable calcium, mag, and a few others basics. The only dairy I consume is occasional diluted organic whipping cream. I do eat lots of organic butter. I also started eating meat and eggs again after 25 years being vegetarian... and never felt better!

The fibrosis in my breast, which I'd had all my adult life dissolved in short order- definitely within a year. I had successfully eliminated uterine fibroids (fibrosis) about 35 years prior, which had resulted in hysterectomies in every woman in my family before me. I wasn't giving up any body parts and found an alternative solution.

The arthritis that had been developing prior to surgery went away, as did the weird AI-like symptoms I had developed. I did experience some pain in my knee for a few months and in hindsight, I believe it was the cal deposits breaking up.

Prior to all these changes I had severe degeneration of C5/6 in my neck, vertebrae almost touching. On re-check sometime after, all the bone spurs were gone, smooth edges and the disks were nice and puffy. Total regeneration. My chiro was giddy!

Another very curious thing... every time my oxygen level is checked it's always 98-100, even with atelectasis present, and they can't explain it. They say my body has found some way of compensating. My challenged RBCs are now excellent since the surgery. The current HCP, who I was seeing several times a week for a couple of months, claimed that atelectasis would come and go- there one time, gone the next. I am nebbing saline and just finished taking 2 bottles of ADP (emulsified oregano oil)- 6, three x/day. Still coughing.

My 'dental' doc did say that eliminating 'pulmonary' fibrosis would take longer. It's been 4 years. He passed last year and I've gotten a little lax without his guidance and support. I'm getting impatient.

Due to extenuating circumstances, I had to live in another house with bad mold and dust mites from Jan12-Jan15. I did the best I could and kept a window cracked year round. Of course, the cough got worse.

I should divulge that I am a long-term light/moderate smoker of organic tobacco. None of my HCPs have been concerned or consider it the cause or a contributing factor.

I'd really like to try Glutathione and possibly Oregano oil, but am afraid to experiment without guidance. If you know of a HCP who could supervise this in the Austin, Tx area, please let me know.

I don't want to go to a traditional MD. I know what they have to offer and am not interested. I also don't want to be wrongly dx'd with lung cancer, as Suzanne Somers was (she had fungus) and imprinted with fear mongering. There's a reason I'm hosting this, and I want to change that, not 'manage' this the rest of my life.

Thanks, SS
