Re: My mom was just diagnosed with the start of COPD what to know.

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.
