He is 70 yrs. old & on oxygen continuously. He is not overweight nor has he ever smoked. Is there any way his lungs can be cleared? E.C. Ted & contributors are the best there is.
If you can help John, I would be most thankful.

Hi Dale - I'm wondering if your friend, John, might be able to use some of the remedies here on Earth Clinic for COPD (which includes having had inhaled airborne irritants).
Here's the link:
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/COPD.html
I would also check out the section on lungs:
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/lungs.html
As well as the section on emphysema:
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/emphysema.html
It sounds as though your friend may have silicosis due to inhaling cement dust.
Pneumoconiosis is the general term for lung disease caused by inhalation of mineral dust. Silicosis is a fibronodular lung disease caused by inhalation of dust containing crystalline silica.
I would definitely go through the cures for anything related to lungs here at Earth Clinic and try the more promising ones.
Very light bouncing on a rebounder (feet don't have to leave the mat) should help get his lymph fluid moving - as well as eating a healthy diet with plenty of good, clean water will assist his immune system in fighting this disease.
I wish all the best for you and John. Take care, Bess

Also, steam inhalation is a very good lung detox therapy. Get to local health-club steam room and do deep steam inhalation and sweating to remove debris. May be safe to slowly increase to a deep inhalation so as to not promote a crisis if indeed the debris level is high.
