How To Increase And Rejuvenate Lung Function?
Hi , I am a 62year female with stage 1V sarcoid. I am on 3liters of o2. My Dr. has recommended a lung transplant, which I am totally against. I have decided to seek out alternative medicine. Would you have any suggestions as to how I can increase my O2 level and rejuvenate lung function?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problems.
Stage 4 sarcoidosis is not a good disease to have. It causes fibrotic ,irreversible changes in the lungs.
No medicines are available for this to revert.
You can do following things for improvement In oxygenation.
1. Chest physiotherapy.
2. Incentive spirometry.
3. Deep breathing exercise.
So enroll yourself in pulmonary rehabilitation center and do all these things.
And lung transplant is also a good option.
