Jerome here - I too have emphysema and have been reading this forum for about 3 years. I have tried nearly everything people have posted here that worked for them. Most of it did not work for me. I think I had a hard core case. I smoked for 17 years and had pnemonia 4 times in 7 years and ended up with a lot of scar tissue. I quit smoking 2 years ago. I used to smoke a pack every 4 days.
What does work for me is Nebulizing H2O in 3% H2O2 and a really good product called Oralmat. These products I have been using for only 2 weeks and I am really amazed at how much it is helping me. I use my Pro Air half of what I did before I started these 2 products. I am breathing easier and my breathing capacity is increasing. I used to wake up congested with thick mucus and now its been 2 days and no morning mucus!
I have had Emphysema for about 3 years and it was getting worse no matter what I did. I don't smoke and the thick mucus would build up and it would take over an hour in the morning for me to be able to do much. Now, I get the most done in the morning!!
Also, I have found that prayer and affirmations have really helped.
Good luck and I will keep everyone here posted on my progress.
My short term goal is to get off prescription breathing medications!

Jerome of Cameron Park, California. I know it's been a long time since you wrote these comments here on EC, but, I'm hoping you continue to follow along. Hope your journey to better breathing and health is going well and would love to see an update. I have been looking for the Oralmat product and can't find it available anywhere. Did you get it in the US? Infor / reply appreciated. Many thanks,

I have googled Oralmat and found several placse. Iherbs sells it.

After nebulizing the first time with H2O2 and H2orega I felt a little heaviness in my lungs. The next time I mixed the H2orega with bottled spring water and I felt no heaviness and my breathing seemed to deepen. So, I stopped using H2O2 and only use water.
Here's to progress!!
