I have seen the advertisements but I wouldn\'t waste a dollar on it for this reason. Emphysema means that your lungs are damaged to varying degrees. Reverse means to go back to previous and that to me means a healing of the lungs and I just think that is the con.
I think if there was a way to reverse emphysema you could just stand on any street corner and you would get plenty of takers since it is the 4th largest cause of death in the US.
This is strictly my opinion but thanks for listening.

I have spent many a dollar trying various remedies, But, I have found two that seem to help. One is sski. You might like to check it out. I is a anti bacterial, anti viral and anti fungal, and it seems to keep the flem and mucus loose so its easy to cough up. Also, when I caught the infection in time it stopped the progression. The other one is one I am still researching. It h202. Inhalation I\'m still trying yto collect info on this one. Thank for your response. Roger

Hi Roger - I would be interested in these remedies. Keep me posted.

Have a great Sunday.

I'm with Anna (PearlB) on this one. There's all sorts of "cures" floating around out there, but the fact remains the damage that has been done is irreversible. This does not mean, however, that there are not things that one can do to slow the progression, make one's self more comfortable and the disease easier to cope with.

Many here use Mucinex (or the generic version) that is bought over the counter and is very helpful in loosening up phelm. Vitamin D seems to play a role in improving the situation. I, and others, take NAC daily. Eating healthy also plays a role.

I think most also keep in mind that this is not a one size fits all disease and what helps one may not help another, but still keep their options open.

Good breathing and good wishes being sent your way!

Hi Roger....I was inflicted with MS in 1989...Given no hope of ever getting out of a wheelchair again....3 babies all under the age of 6 and a husband....Lawd, I looked into every alternative possibility out there to help me....and I never gave up....It does aggravate me that so many people in this world prey on other peoples vulnerabilities, hardships, hopes....But I am out of the wheelchair and have been for many years....Did some of the remedies help me?? A combination? Faith? for sure a lot of hard work....I don't know but I will never give up researching, and seeking new opinions, ideas, alternatives....Like you, I just suggest everyone really check these things out as throughly as possible before investing any money including calling the BBS (in the states)....

Having said that let me end by saying this....THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL WRONG WITH HOPE....with looking into different things, because you just never know and if we stop looking, researching, etc. we may miss something real....something wonderful....Thank you so much for sharing....May I ask what the name of the book is....I would love to look into it myself.....Lorenzos Oil (the movie) just came to my mind....Wow....Thanks again and have a great night....
Love and Blessings, Serenity

I apologize if my response sounded a little harsh but I really was only responding to the one fact and that "was the book a con?" I am pretty much to the point on most things and it always doesn't sound too neighborly.

Maybe I should have taken an Ativan before coming online that day. LOL

To all, have a beautiful day and to Roger have an especially good breathing day.

Hugs,
Anna

I bought the book, and it made sense, but I had already seen all of the information previously, via the internet. I do believe that fungus is to blame for the continued progression of the disease (I don't have it, but someone close to me does), and believe that a zero sugar diet will work. But I wouldn't advise anyone buy this book. I came away with the impression that he was possibly well meaning, but the information isn't complete, and you'd just have to go and do additional research yourself, which I had to continue to do after reading his ebook.

I noted this on his FB page, and he advised that the information was complete. On questioning him about his lack of info on contraindications of using supplements, etc, he continued to ignore the health risks of some supplements if taken in too high quantities or with medication that they may interfere with. His answers were reckless, to be honest, and I ended up calling him a snake oil salesman!

I went from thinking he was well intentioned, to believing him to be willing to risk peoples health to ensure his sales, to be honest.

If any of you are interested in trying "his" (it isn't his, all of the research has been done by others, which I imagine he has just gleaned from them) method, you need to follow a sugar free diet, probably for around 3 to 5 months, you can find information on this here: http://www.thecandidadiet.com/candida-diet.htm totally free of charge. He lists two or three fungus killing supplements, but the worlds strongest anti fungal is bicarbonate of soda - it works so quickly on the fungus that it doesn't have time to adapt: http://aromatherapy4u.wordpress.com/2008/08/05/974/ , whereas Millar advises three or four different supplements, to be taken in cycle, as the fungus adapts to them and they cease to work. You don't have to do this with bicarb of soda.

You can find ALL of the info in his book for free on the net. I do believe it's worth a try; I've been researching it for around 6 months now. But don't pay some conman for it.

Good luck!

If it sounds to good to be true ..... it probably is! In other words don't waste your money! Here's free advice:

Unlike most other illnesses that DO have recovery, unfortunately, once damage to the lungs occur from "E", it stays with you forever! Lifestyle changes, i.e.: quit smoking, avoid polluted air if possible, maintain a healthy lifestyle, all this, and probably a lot more I forgot, CAN prolong your life!

Thanks for the book review Loub72. I remain hopeful; but skeptical of a cure. I have seen my ex rays and breathing test results. My lung capacity is 28-30%. I can see with my own eyes the permanent damage to my lungs----as my Pulmonary showed me on his computer be zooming in on the really severe damage.
I do worry about vulnerable people being taken advantage of by those that offer cures.

I agree with Silfoxx if it sound to good it is probably is to good to be true. Its amazing how people can try and take advantage of people suffering.

Short of divine intervention I cant see anyway that reversing emphysema can be possible.

Again, notice the date is 05/2009. However, I don't give up on possibilities even though they probably won't occur in y lifetime. Someday, someone, and something changes for the better.

i suffer from copd but i find going uphill on treadmill very good take it easy at first and build it up steam room is also very good but of course the main thing is keeping off the fags easier said than done
