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.

5) Magnesium 200 mg daily

6) CoEnzyme Q

Why would you want to break down theophyline, saved? Keeping the airway dialated is a critical issue for COPD.

I certainly would used vitamin D3 but at much higher dosages, like 5,000 IU minimum.
Load with 10,000 for at least 2 weeks, daily

Serrapeptase is certainly important. go to www.serrapeptase.info

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.

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?

As Curcumin is an antifungal that may be why it helps Though it could be it works as an antioxidant also
There is some argument about the bioavailability of curcumin some say

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.

]Resveratrol has a similar action

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.

For lung / breathing issues

1) As ozzie stated and ayurvedi approach can work in many cases
2) Avoid dairy
3) Co Q 10 200 mg a day
4) Serrapeptase
5) Ginger root
6) Cordyceps

Nebulized colloidal silver to kill the fungi in the lungs and tubes.

I would also consider MMS at 2 or 3 drops twice per day.(for months, and taken orally not nebulized)

High dose vitamin C would be another option I would look at.
