Suggest Alternative Treatment For COPD

GREAT,I didn t know this was here. I was diagnosed in the year 2000 with copd. The past few weeks with the high 20 and 30 degrees and humidity has lowered my activity to the point that I can no longer walk more than 24 feet then having to sit down. I am on Spiriva, AdVair, Ventilin, etc. I never use them everyday or regularly but lately, once again, there is now a need to. What is the best way to conquer this? I work with seniors in their homes and sometimes I feel they think they should be looking after me instead. Oh, I am 70 years old email: YYYY@YYYY Tomorrow I am taking the day off because the temp is to be 30C and 70% humidity I cannot give them a shower without any air to breathe but heat and humidity Sorry, I should have known there would be money involved. Canada is not even mentioned in countries available to respond to, so I wish you well and apologize that my excitement for an answer has been swayed.

Hi,

Medicines you have been prescribed ahas to be taken or regular basis. Alternative way of treatment is supportive.

You should watch for the food items etc which are causing aggravation of the problem in your case and avoid eg fridge water , dusting ,perfumes etc .

You may take ¼ teaspoonful of cow's colostrum with ¼ turmeric mixed in warm lukewarm cow's milk at bed time or 2 times a day depending upon severity of the problem.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Fatima Clinic
