Hi, naturopathic medicine has made a world of difference for me. I had a bout of double pneumonia in February 2019 that put me in the hospital for 12 days. My pneumonia did not respond to antibiotics and turned into to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), for which the mortality rate can be 30 to 40% (the reported numbers vary widely).
After coming home, I was weak and had to use a walker. I had always been into physical fitness and weight lifting. I found the need for a walker to be embarrassing - it was a blow to my pride. It took me over three months of healing and hard work to regain my lung capacity. But follow up testing showed that I had an underlying condition, NSIP (non-specific interstitial pneumonia) with lung scarring (fibrosis) and dilated airways (bronchieactasis).
The MDs were good at diagnosing the condition, but not good at offering solutions. Lung scarring and bronchieactasis are supposedly irreversible. But I am one to fight back and not be a victim, and began researching alternative solutions. The first was Reduced L-Glutathione Plus from Theranaturals. The antioxidant glutathione is taken into the lungs through a nebulizer.
Prior to nebulizing with glutathione, I would experience severe bronchoconstrictions during extreme exertion such as running up stairs. These bronchoconstrictions pre-dated my pneumonia. I'm 61, and they went back to at least age 43. I previously thought that I had exercise induced asthma. But it turned out that the problem was pulmonary fibrosis.
I found an article published by the National Institutes of Health that states reducing protein oxidation reverses lung fibrosis. I believe that the glutathione must have done something for the fibrosis, because the bronchoconstrictions went away. There were exercises that I could not do to failure in the past because they would trigger a severe asthma-like episode. But now I can go to failure and I'm fine.
I was still bothered by a bad cough though. After coming home from the hospital, I literally coughed 2 to 3 thousand times a day. It was unbearable. After using the glutathione, my cough was down to a few hundred times a day. Better, but still disruptive to my life.
I then found out about the proteolytic enzyme serrapeptase and how it could dissolve internal scarring. I tried various brands but they weren't that strong. I then found out about Dr. William Wong's Zymessence. It's an enzyme blend that includes serrapeptase. After taking Zymessence for about a month and a half, my cough has fallen to just a few dozen times a day and is far less severe. My cough used to be so bad, that it would make me dizzy. That no longer happens.
I just had a pulmonary function test and the doctor told me that the results were better than merely normal, they were excellent.
Proteolytic enzymes are helpful for all middle aged people. Dr. Wong explains that most diseases are an "itis" (inflammation) or an "osis" (internal organ scarring.) Proteolytic enzymes are anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic.
