I am an otherwise healthy 62 y/o female who was diagnosed with ABPA in Oct. 2014 after bronchoscopy. I took steroids (prednisone and advair) and antihistamines for two months. Rather than take antifungals, I began doing breathing treatments of 4 drops oil of oregano (Oreganol) purchased at Whole Foods, in 1/2 cup filtered water. I brought it to high enough temp for it to vaporize as I breathed it for 5-10 minutes two times a day. If I would forget to do breathing treatment the icky fungus tasting phelm would return. I did this for several weeks. Then as mentioned above, I weaned myself from other meds over two month period. After 4 months free of symptoms I am just now experiencing my first flair and am trying to get by with 10mg of prednisone/day and one zyrtec along with oil of oregano breathing tx. Am also using neti pot for sinuses to keep them clear.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for a flair. I want to get over it with as little meds as possible. BTW: My IgE went to 3000 and is now hovering 1200-1300. Any trick to getting it to drop lower? Am going to start taking the wheat grass, garlic, astragulas & vit D mentioned above. Thanks to previous messages as all info is helpful to this newbie.

Hello
From being a fit person at the age of 58, I too have been diagnosed with Aspergillisos recently and I am finding it really hard to cope with it. There are days when I feel great and then there's days when I am out of breath and cannot function. I have not been in to work since June 2015 due to this condition and few other issues. Any advise in how to cope with this condition would help.

I have been diagnosed with PD, and know it was from a mold exposure 10 yrs ago in my home, which made me very sick at the time. I've had a horrible alcohol smell in my nose for almost the same amount of time, along with the symptoms of PD, which are pretty rough, 15-20/day.
I just started taking 230 mg. of extract Oregano oil in capsules, certified organic, 4 caps/day and already see changes after a few days, for the good, less meds due to less tremors and rigidity. Thanks for the thoughts on vaporizing it, I couldn't figure out why I was so short of breath from walking across a room, now I know!

Turmeric with curcumin 1000mg once a day make sure non GMO, no fillers or additives. Grapefruit seed extract and baking soda baths you will be shocked at what comes out of your bath. hope I helped, it helps me.
