Advice needed regarding brothers pulmonary fibrosis

Posted By Katrina (Stigler, Oklahoma, Us) on 02/10/2011

My brother has ipo & doctors gave him two or three months to live but that is about up. He is a fighter though. He is on oxygen 24 hrs a day & is weak but he manages to go to rehab 3 times week at hospital. He lives so far from me, I can't tell how he is doing. I ran across this website & saw a couple of things might help but his wife had friend in arizona who told her about something & she had ordered that. It hasnt worked & I lost my notes I had. I need anyones help. His lungs have hardened due to gene he is missing. Someone on this website had dad that had the same problem & she even had hospice thru week & aide on weekend till she found something & it worked. She said he couldnt walk but now even goes out to dinner. Please, anyone that has suggestions please let me know. He is such a good man & has helped so many people & now he needs help. Thanks

Hi Katrina - The post you are looking for is under "Ailments" - "Pulmonary Fibrosis" and it's after Ted's comments. Here it is: 09/21/2009:

Maureen from Philadelphia, Pa replies: "Ted: I have to thank you so much for sharing your story. My Father is in end stage IPF. He has been on Hospice since March. He could barely walk. A month ago I started him on your treatment plan of Aloe Vera, Apple Cidar Vinegar and he had already been on the acetolcysteine (not sure spelling). Much to the Hospice Nurses surprise his oxygen levels are improving and his lungs are clear. The one nurse told me only two weeks ago his lungs sounds like a washing machine. Today they are clear. It is truly amazing to see the significant improvement in him. A month ago he could really just sit in a chair. This past week all in one day he went out to lunch and dinner. And the next two nights he went out to dinner. One outing three months ago would have wiped him out for two days. He's actually able to live again, all thanks to you. I can't wait to see how he is in another month! You are incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your story!!! You may want to do an Internet search using serrapeptase and pulmonary fibrosis. There seems to be a lot of testimonials but, remember, most of these sites sell the product so they have a vested interest.Good luck to you and your brother.

hi, Maureen, my dad has PF as well, how is your dad doing, , , are you still following with the treatment? or a lower dose of it... My dad has only one third of pulmonary capacity, he needs to be on oxygen pretty much all the time and feels weak, , , I want to try this stuff. I don't want him to go yet...
