Sorry I need info on supplements and herbs to combat copd. help is appreciated
Stoneman3, from everything I've read about COPD, I'd recommend that you look into taking Vitamin D3, at least 2,000 IU's daily, Bromelain and Hawthorn. Here's a site with some info that may help.
K2C is correct on Bromelain. You need to take it on an empty stomach. Also the following:
1) N Acetyl Cysteine also known as NAC.
2) Try serrapeptase (on an empty stomach)
3) Cayenne pepper capsules or eat some hot salsa.
4) Coffee daily, 2 cups in the morning and one in the evening (caffeine breaks down into a substace called theophylline in the body which is a bronchodialator.
You also want to make sure your heart is nourished will and vascular system in general as copd takes a significant toal on them over time and many copd folks end up with heart failure.

Caffeine breaks down INTO theophylline. It is basically a natural pre cursor, it does not break down theophylline, it turns into it.
thank you all. I do take 7000 units d3, 200 mg of ubiquinol, bomelein, I have to get Hawthorn.
COPD: Asthma or emphysema? If you have plegm issues, definitely take NAC. Also eat some salsa or hot sauce, and I mean hot. The relief will be temporary, but it will be there.
Everything I know about COPD tells me it is caused by fungus, therefore, it is a fungal infection. (The inflammation is caused by mycotoxins that are excreeted by fungi).
There are several natural antifungals, such as coconut oil, grapefruit seed extract, colloidal silver, etc..
It would be beneficial to purchase a small nebulizer, so you can injest colloidal silver directly into the lungs on a daily basis. Do some research on these natural antifungals.
Also, there are two kinds of nebulizers. One operates like an air compressor while the other is ultrasonic. They are both good, however, the utrasonic unit is better.

There was a case where someone with COPD dropped a bottle of desinex (antifungal powder) and accidently inhaled some of the powder fume that formed. A day later he was better. Aside from inhaling those things, could you just cook with coconut oil and take oral grape seed extract?
Doctor's Best, Meriva, Phytosome Curcumins,
is better than
Doctor's Best, Best Curcumin C3 Complex, and while the price is about the same I hedge my bets and take one in the morning and the other at night.
If you're in the UK bear in mind Customs charge VAT on orders above �18 and as they use their own exchange rate leave a margin for error. Post Office charge �8 for collecting the tax so use DHL if above �18, They charge �1.25 for collecting tax and will be faster and let you know when it's left customs and is on it's way. (following the tracking number from Iherb Code $5 WAB666 to save new users $5. US/Canadian readers my find cheaper elsewhere I've not checked.
stoneman 3, one of my friends who has bronchiectasis,is on an Ayurvedic Diet which has helped her a lot. You would have to find a very qualified Ayurvedic practitioner though to get good results, the diet is customised especially for you, if you wish I can give you a link to have a look at how she has improved.
