Happy,happy birthday to Ward
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WARD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to add that not getting worse can be counted as an improvement because COPD is a progressive disease. I truly think we need to rebuild our immune systems and get ourselves healthy again to see the optimal improvement in the stem cell therapy. I hate to preach, but good diet, using the PowerLung and taking the supplements including the GenF20 product are ways to do this. Jeannine and I are both busy all the time trying to work on the nutrition aspect of our recovery. She is advising 1/2 cup onions any way you like them, 3 cups of green tea and 1 unpeeled apple a day be added to your diet to improve lung function. I think Quinoa is an excellent addition also. It is virtually tasteless so you could add it to soups, burritos, casseroles, etc. None of the improvements come overnight, but at 9 months we are starting to see some real pay offs for taking better care of ourselves. I am still not convinced that a booster will not be needed to get me off O2 completely, but I will cross that bridge when I come to it after my one year point. The best thing is to feel good again and not be short of breath constantly. I also am very aware that I can now catch a bug and it doesn't mean tons of meds and lying on the couch in agony for two months to get rid of it. I had some kind of crud for a little over two weeks that left me short of breath again. I have not been that way since May and I was very upset that I felt that way. I am now back to my old self and did not have to go to the doctor even. I felt fine except for the SOB and that was a mystery. It was like I should have been getting all the severe symptoms of a respiratory problem, but they never manifested themselves into anything other than the SOB which is now gone. Very strange, but I am so grateful to be back on the mend so easily. Again, I can't stress enough to keep a daily log of how one feels if only to look back on it and see how bad you really used to be. I read mine and wonder how I even functioned. I hope you will bake Ward a nice big tofu cake. I know he will love it! HA
