I have COPD, I was diagnosed about two years ago after being admitted to hospital with Pneumonia.I have spent some hours trawling the internret to see what treatments are available and how helpful people find them.I came across machines which are used to create activated air.One of the companies producing these machines is "aernergy " in Germany, another is made in the States called " Active Air ".

Has anyone out there tried this?
