I was diagnosed with copd back. after I developed a mucus cough. I had quit smoking 40 years ago but dr's said that is why I now had copd. I was put on Anoro Ellipta which I didn't find helped long story short I got a fingernail fungus and used all kinds of otc meds for 1 year to no avail. Went to dr and was given terbinafine, at the 40 day mark I felt like I had my old life back, breathing was excellent, energy off the charts. This lasted for 2 weeks as the side effect of diarrhea....told G.P., Pulmonologist and they said no way that was possible end of story with them. So now the research began and I'm thinking I have a fungus in my lungs and no one believes me. On April 10th I was coughing so much that I didn't know what else to do, meds, inhaler, mucus dm, sudafed, ibruprohen. There wasn't anything else I could take....so Lord, what am I to do? He said....take sulfur! I took 3 grams of sulfur and in less that 10 minutes the coughing stopped. Today is May 8th I'm still taking 3 grams and nothing else....no meds . Found a new pulmonologist April 30 who actually believes me and did some blood work to prove this fungus and is looking into more info on the sulfur. I don't want to take any fungus pharmaceutical drugs, so will work on taking the best of all the former suggestions other have suggested.

After 3 years on high dose iodine my aspergillus IgG was down to normal (it had been off the charts along with IgM), my lungs were clear, a lot of my skin problems had cleared up, my cancer had not returned without any further treatment. I am now going on 10 years clear of both cancer and Aspergillosis. I now only take 100-200 mg of Iodoral or LugoTabs whenever I feel I have been exposed to sickness or feel like I am coming down with something and it goes away. My hair, which was beginning to turn gray in 2014 returned to my normal color and still is--- I will be turning 70 in 2025. I don't have many wrinkles either. My thyroid did not change during the treatment. For me this was the miracle treatment. Today I would also add in high dose Vitamin C (not taken at the same time as the iodine) D3/Mk7 and magnesium.

My first mold exposure was 10 years ago and recently I have had 3 black mold exposures this past year. I am awaiting my phlegm test results and have seen on other sites I may need Dutch testing to find where the mold is in my body before proceeding with detox. Does anyone have experience with this test and do you think it is necessary before proceeding with natural remedies?

This fungus is deadly and had reduced the VF of almost all my organs. I already knew that something had affected my eye sight, lungs and sinus. It is in my ears for certain. His method of addressing the problems he finds…. is using homeophatic herb drops morning and night. I am doing that along with other things I know that will address fungus such as ozone, GSE, garlic and other naturals. He also said that I must find the source of the fungus. After the CPAP supplier called telling me that they are sending all new hoses, water reservoir, etc. I asked why? He said that over time fungus and mold will grow and get into your body. No sheet Sherlock. I then learned from other CPAP users that that had happened to them. I now know how to control that problem by adding CSE to my reservoir and bagging weekly in ozone. Lordy, I am going to be smart in 4 years at 85. I missed my other goals of 65 and 75. I have also learned that this fungus is in lots of our vegetables, especially peanuts which we raise and buy. I just wish all of you had a way to get this DNA test done on a regular basis. It tells you your problems as they evolve. The medical establishment is fighting this test tooth and nail. By the way, my Anti-Aging doctor say her tests show I no longer have cancer, but my DNA test shows that it is present, but not detectable by allopathic methods. By the way, this DNA test cost us $100.
Hope this ditty has caused you to think because it has my mind reeling. Life is interesting.

So how did we acquire this fungus? My Tractor Driver suspects the mushroom compost that we use at the farm. That will be our next test in a week or so.
Our Integrative Doctor is addressing this problem with homeopathic drops. We are also using glutathione and H2O2 via our nebulizer. Of course we know that has not been double blind tested so we will just go with our ole buddy, Bill Munro's, inhalation advice.

Take Turmeric. I use 4000mg daily taken 2x a day. I use one that is time released. My IGE dropped almost 3000 points over 1 1/2 years thanks to Turmeric.
I also use a salt pipe. Salt has been shown to inhibit the growth of aspergillus and you will see immediate results. I have had ABPA for 8 years. The drugs didn't help. I'm doing fine now. Best to you!

I was diagnosed with ABPA (Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis) in 2008 after coughing for 2 years. I would like to share what I have learned. My IGE went to 4400 and it was difficult to breathe. I finally agreed to use iatraconazol and prednisone. The IGE only dropped into the lower 2000's despite taking the drugs for about 6 months. Breathing was still difficult. At this point in October of 2012 I turned to Turmeric. I took a brand with curcumin phytosomes. I took 8 capsules a day / that's 2000 mg twice a day. Within a few weeks my breathing seemed less difficult but I did not want to jump to conclusions. I kept taking the Turmeric for 6 weeks then had another IGE test. It had dropped almost 1000 points. I kept taking it and the IGE kept decreasing. After about 11/2 years in 2014 it was finally down to 258. It stayed there for 2 years. I dropped the amount taken to 4 capsules or 1000 mg twice a day. In May of 2016 my IGE was at 328. I will never stop taking the Turmeric. When I skip it for a few days I feel the labored breathing return. I recently read an article that salt slowed the growth of aspergillus. I also bought a therapeutic Salt Pipe. I breathe in and out through the the pipe for 10 minutes a day.
Perhaps these suggestions will help someone else.

I have been there. I know what you are going through. Please know it isn't a death sentence. I had a very very bad case. Now five years later I am doing great. But I had to pretty much learn from the websites in England. They are ahead of the game. And on my own trial and error some BIG errors.
I just want to let you know my IGe was 4300 some go as high as 12,000.
1. First do not drink orange juice or lemon aid or any citrus. You can make your own but the commercial is full of aspergillus.
2. Do not eat nuts, unless you soak them in vitamin C then reroast them.
3. Do not drink sake as it is made with aspergillus,
4. Do not take beano made with aspergillus.
5. Do not take digestive enzymes, made with aspergillus.
6. Do not dust or vacuum ever! Have someone else do it.
7. Do not garden or have house plants.
8. Do not have birds, chickens or pigeons near you.
9. Stay away from all chemicals. You will also be very sensitive to malls and stores as clothes are all sprayed with pesticides, formaldehyde, sizing, and cotton has a ton of aspergillus. Clothes you buy need to immediately be washed.
Read all labels on food. But eat clean. I have more if you want to write here or write to me personally feel free.

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

I have been suddenly left completely disabled for the last two years. Sudden onset of respiratory illness and lethargy. I'm 35 and have been unable to do even the basic of personal daily routines. I used to ride all terain 20 miles a day up north. After two years of relying on modern medicine and countless hospital stays, I have decided not to die from a pescki fungus or anything else. So I have begun taking matters in my own hands and will try anything that makes sense. I currently began double dose of DHEA for natural precursor to antinflammatory, 7 oranges a day, 2xday apple cider vinegar, copper supplement,probiotic yogurt, and 4 times daily supplement. After 3days my neighbor comment that I have color for the first time. I also have been able to get out of bed. I am going to try the peroxide and apple cider vinegar in my nebulizer and report back. I believe it will work. Make an uncomfortable environment for bacteria, kill it, get it out, and keep it out! All this without dying from side effects of prednisone, advair, and numerous others.
Thanks for your posts! Many prayers for all of you.
