Yes, I am a respiratory therapist. No, I do not have any experience with BOS (syndrome). I also don't have it, but we suspect my husband does. He has all the signs, symptoms and weird test results.

That being said, I am here to find support and offer support to anyone who needs it. I do work with women with mild to moderate COPD as a Health Coach, so I am always on the look out for more natural ways to improve a person's health status. You can bet I have been researching BOS and have already started my hubby on some protocols. :)
For anyone, especially soldiers, looking to find out what they could possibly suffering from, this article was a big help for us. Talk about light bulbs going off in our heads. :) http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu:8080/reporter/index.html?ID=8270
