Hope for Bad Lungs

Many with difficult breathing have been left with little hope – particularly had they been cigarette smokers. Often they are labeled as “chronic lungers” and “COPD’s”, and told they have chronic bronchitis or emphysema.

Commonly, they have been given antibiotics, cough, and congestion medication. Some have been treated as asthmatics. Often they have purchased high end vacuum cleaners and air purifiers. Mostly, none proved significantly helpful.

In my experience, most of these diagnoses were incorrect. More often than not this represented a persistent, smoldering chest cold, incompletely treated, that was by now self replicating.

This sub acute or chronic inflammation responds well to anti-inflammatory agents, particularly corticosteroids. Typically, the patient will improve within 24 hours.
