Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is actually a group of three diseases, the most recognized being emphysema. COPD is responsible for incredible suffering and expense. Eleven percent of the American population is affected with COPD and it results in 80,000 deaths per year. Over 18 billion dollars in medical-related costs are attributed to it each year. At our practice, we find the comprehensive approach that we use for asthma to be extremely helpful for COPD. Allergy desensitization and nutrition form the foundation of a program for all breathing difficulties, with the addition of nebulized glutathione and important nutritional supplements chosen to help ease spasming and reduce inflammation. We utilize our patented Signal Therapy for COPD in the form of CF, a product that liquefies thick lung secretions and improves lung functional capacity for many patients. CF alone is one of our most successful remedies for intractable respiratory disorders. We also employ Chinese herbs, as needed, to reduce mucus buildup, cough, and shortness of breath.
