This is a reply to # 1,903,398My sister was diagnosed with COPD and when you lost weight, the symptoms were better. She now has no problems at all. I wrote this articles a few years back and it may help you understand why you can do naturally.

This is a reply to # 1,903,415Thanks Mo123!!! Great Info!!!!
Would you know the amount of Magnesium and what form for her. She is deficient in it and takes a small dose daily.
And also how much vitamin c and what type.
I know she was a smoker for over 50 plus years and just quit. She is not over weight, and is allergic to milk and eggs since being a baby. (Just a little history on her).

This is a reply to # 1,903,424My sister was a non-smoker, but her husband smoked. My dad smoked for 20 years and quit and 30 years later he died of lung cancer. COPD is a debilitating disease and drastic measures should be taken.
Mercola felt if you want to live an extra 20 years you should take 6000 mg of Vitamin C. 1000 minimum I think, but 3000 is optimum. Make sure the Vitamin C as so sweetener in it. I just hate these companies who put sweeteners in their supplements.
I am a black seed expert and I feel very strongly that all disease can be treated with the use of black seed or nigella sativa oil. I would suggest that also.
I would also have her checked for Vitamin D. But like I said once my sister lost weight she was better. I so wish your mom good health.

I didn't see this post until after I posted my message. You mom quit. Good for her. It's a tough thing to do but I also quit - 43 years ago. My current COPD has to do with the removal of a portion of my lung due to lung cancer. Yup. Was a heaver smoker. Really heavy. Quitting was one of the most difficult experiences of my life and it didn't work the first two or three times. But I'm persistent. Ornery too.
Here's a book that I have and it is the best one that I've seen on this subject.
http://www.amazon.com/Breathe-Out-Fullest-Emphysema-Smokers/dp/1434348555/ref...
It may be available at your local library. (I have no connection with the author.) Breathing out is critical. Learning to breathe out longer than breathing in is the key regarding breath control. (Your other response is great too.) It helps in both COPD and hypertension as well.
Best to your mom in her healing journey.

I have taken classes for people with COPD and every one in the class was either a present time smoker - or, as I was, a former smoker. If your mom is a smoker, please have her quit. If she doesn't do that, nothing will help.
Parsed lip breathing is what was taught in my COPD classes and HOW to breathe was as well. You breathe out just before physical effort (such as standing from a sitting position or lifting something heavy) just the opposite of what most people really do. By measuring the amount of oxygen in the blood stream one will find that it helps a lot.

This is a reply to # 1,903,427Hi Guys,
Thanks you again for all your help. I will pass all this info on to her and my sister, she doesn't live with me. Hopefully they will listen, I am a true believer in natural health and healing. She did stop smoking, just recently so hoping she doesn't go back to it.
I know she takes 10,000iU OF vitamin D3.
She will be 83, it is so sad because she has such a long life line...cousins and aunt living close and over 100 years of age.
Also will be looking into this book for her.
Thanks!!
Marie

My mom improved her lung function from 91% to 97% in just 3 months using"
- NAC 600 mg 2x per day
- Serrapeptase 1x per day
- Vitamin D3 (enuf to get to optimum level of 65-80 ng/mL)
- Gluten free and organic, grass-fed, pastured meats, diet
She is still using spiriva 1x per day and advair on a occaision, but these are practically impossible to get off of due to their addictive qualities.
Currently, I have her on iodine with companion nutrients will see if she can ween off of the spiriva.
There is a strong correlation of asthma with hypothydroid.
She could probably get off of the advair, but the spiriva will be the hardest.
Thanks,

Be very careful in getting her off of advair and spiriva because her lung function may signifanctly drop from the 97% level in doing that.
I was a heavy smoker for 20+ years. Had a cancerous lung node removed one year ago and a cancerous wedge removed from another node five months ago and my Oxygen level is 95% at its low and 97% at its high and it varies between those ranges. I walk daily for 30 minutes minimum and generally longer and recommend anyone else with any lung disease to do the same. I'm 80 years old.

My mom had a cancerous nodule in her lung that the drs wanted to surgically remove.
However, I was able to get nearly all of her lung nodules, including the spiculed, cancerous one, to shrink 4mm in just 3 months.
I attribute it to the vitamin D and serrapeptase.
Her renal cyst also, shrunk 4mm.
I know that she would go into renal exhaustion if she stopped spiriva for >12 hrs because they had her stop all inhalers for 12hrs and she went into total renal exhaustion and hysteria.

When I was first diagnosed with a lung tumor they couldn't access it to determine whether or not it was cancer. At that time I took 50,000 IU of vitamin D - daily. I also made Essiac tea and took Pau d'arco all with no positive results. In fact, either the Essiac or Pau d'arco put me into atrial flutter for which I had to have heart surgery.
The problem with many (if not most) alternative treatments is that each person responds differently and you can get deleterious side effects that are never mentioned in the alternative circles.
Remember, when you medicate someone else, you are totally responsible for their very life.
Good luck.

If you were taking 50,000 iu of vitamin D, it sounds like it was prescribed.
The prescribed vitamin D is D2 and is synthetic and should never be used on humans.
Mice use D2 because they don't get any sunshine.
It takes many months to get your D levels up because it stores in our fat.
Vitamin D is not a vitamin, but a hormone.
Any nodule in the lung can have many diseases attached, including autoimmune, cancer, etc.
According the World Health Organization's experts in report 916, the 5 most deadly diseases:
- Cancer
- Heart Disease
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- Obesity
Are ALL diseases of Malnutrition.

The vitamin D that I use (still do - but at a lower level) is D3. I know all those things that you point out about D.
"...Are ALL diseases of Malnutrition."
Not true at all. I remember when it was reported about a year ago that the longest living American in San Francisco who at age 111 was eating ice cream as well as syrup and pancakes every day. George Burns smoked 7 or 8 cigars every day, didn't exercise and had two double martinis each day until the time of his early death - at age 100.
You are an eternal spirit residing in a body. Physical disease is the result of not being aligned with yourself a spirit. That's why many spiritual healers can heal what physicians can't and John of God is an excellent example of that.
An excellent CZ post here on D:

Just because someone eats pancakes and syrup everyday, doesn't mean they are nutritionally deficient.
They most likely, are eating far more or else their organs would fail.
I have 2 uncles in their 80's that drank like fishes all of their lives, but they are still living without disease.
They eat VERY well all their years and get plenty of sunshine.
Alcoholics die from cirhossis when they stop eating well.
50k of D3 per day is too high to take on daily bases for more than a few days.
If our D levels go beyond 100, can cause heart problems and hypercalcemia.
The best source for D is the sun, but some of us don't have the luxury of sun bathing.

You're a riot! Eating "right" is only a portion of longevity. Science is now telling us that daily exercise is equally important and there are those who defy that as well. Also being happy is much more to the equation than anything else.
My aunt who was significantly overweight, drank coffee and ate bacon every morning for breakfast and died only because she became tired of living and quit eating and went at age 100 to join her husband who ate a similar style and went at 99.
Eubie Blake, a musician and entertainer began smoking at age 6, playing piano in a whore house at age 11, had a fabulous musical career and was still smoking heavily when he died at age 100.
Get in touch with yourself as the eternal spirit that you are and enjoy life to its fullest.

Where did I say bacon, coffee and cigarettes will kill u?
I did all that all my life and didn't suffer any ill effects from those.
The mainstream's idea of eating right has absolutely nothing do with health and wellness.
In fact, Jeanne Calment was the oldest living person that smoked until she was 117 and the only reason she quit was because she couldn't see to light her cigarettes anymore.
We are all getting contaminated with genetically modified foods, stealth virus ladened vaccines, heavy metals in everything from light bulbs to tooth fillings, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, etc.
It takes a ton of nutrients to flush this out of the body, but I don't know if any of it can get rid of lab created, stealth viruses put into our blood stream with aluminum and mercury attached.
Viruses do not eat to survive.

Your oral view of the world comes from our American heritage. Shove a rubber nipple in the baby's mouth at birth and if he's male, chop off the end of his penis - 75% of the time without a pain suppressant. If you don't think that makes the child angry (particularly men) then you know little of the human body and yes, we remember each and everything that has happened in our life including conception.
America is one of the most oral societies ever to inhabit the Planet. It is mostly due to our incessant search for for the tit that the vast majority of us never had.
You are an eternal spirit. When this body dies, you trade it in and get another one. Each visit to the Planet is a spiritual learning experience and when you've learned your lessons you go on to other realities. Again, everything you have experienced here on Planet Earth is simply a learning experience and you have created everything that ever happened in your life - rubber nipple, circumcision, cancer, heart disease, malaria (the world's leading killer) everything.
Enjoy eternity because it is happening now.

our realities exist only in our heads.
our subconscious beliefs controls it all.
Disconnect the left hemisphere and you cannot interact with this reality.

This is a reply to # 1,903,398Hi Marie,
There are virtually no syndromes and/or diseases that are not reversible. If you are interested in taking control of your own health [and I sincerely hope you are], the following will give you all the information you need:
Any of the discourses by Luigi Cornaro (available free online);
Any of the books by Horace Fletcher (available free online);
Any of the writings of Arnold Ehret.
Just like virtually everything else in life, it is all ultimately up to YOU.
You have all my best wishes for a successful journey and resolution,
David
