I hope that my email finds you in perfect spirits. I read that you are recovering well from a recent health challenge and I give supreme thanks. I've actually contacted you in the past when my dog had mange and your remedy was the best.

In December 2012, my lung collapsed and I was diagnosed with a rare lung disease called LAM which is short for lymphangioleiomyomatosis. In short it is cystic fibrosis on the lungs. I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana - a very hot and humid place. I moved to New York when I was 20 and lived there until I was 37 when I moved back to New Orleans, 10 years ago. I moved back home Post-Hurricane Katrina. It was at that time that I began having breathing issues. I had never had issues in the past.

So fast forward to today. Since diagnosis in 2012, I have been hospitalized every December with the exception of 2014. In 2013 a pluridisis was performed on both of my lungs so that they would stop collapsing. Right now, I am extremely skinny, I am 5'5 and weigh 85lbs. No matter what I eat, I don't gain weight and I can't eat much because it affects my breathing. I have extreme difficulty breathing.

December 2015, I had a bad bronchitis and have been on Albuturol/Ipitropium ever since. I have to inhale this through a nebulizer every three hours so that I can breath and most times it doesn't really help, most of the time I am gasping for breath. Although, water does help!

I am 47 years old and have been told that there isn't much that can be done other than a lung transplant in which I am not interested. I've read your remedies for Pulmonary Fibrosis and I'm wondering what you might recommend for me.

I'm not sitting around waiting to die. I push myself and keep myself busy and refuse to be put on oxygen. But, my breathing is EXTREMELY labored. I have been praying to my ancestors for a remedy. I would like to live to be 120! :-)

I've been assisting in my own healing by doing chanting, yoga, walking exercises, Falun Dafa, meditation and prayer. I am also a strict Ital Vegetarian, 90% of my food is uncooked. I juice every morning and drink tonics made of fresh Aloe from my garden, Lemons from my garden and Greens from my garden. I eat fresh salads daily and drink banana smoothies made with raw nuts to help me keep my weigh up.

I know that you are in the process of healing yourself, if you have the time to consider my request, I would be forever grateful and promise to continue to live my life in service to the up and coming generations.

My name is Dominique but I am affectionately known as Mama D! I;m everyone's Mama!

Many thanks!

Mama D
