Could zinc be the key to stopping this deadly lung disease?

More than 100,000 seniors suffer from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IBF). There's no cure, but doctors are now one step closer to stopping its progression.

Been on zinc+ nad+ and resverstrol for year and have had no significant advancement in that time. Thanks to everyone working on a cure.

My dad Passed just a few yrs ago about 6 months after mom. He had idooathic fibrosis. He was in the Vietnam war and I believe thats how he got it from agent orange. Thats just a guess and the military has not ruled this disease as from war unfortunately so dont know for sure. Nobody seems to have a clue how you get it. I tried and tried to get him on a bunch of supplements that were possibly helpful. He wouldn't even consider it. Not even stuff that may have helped others. He was just too hard headed and old fashioned. But the worst thing about his death was the slow gradual loss of being able to breathe even on maximum oxygen in the hospital. The nurse came up with a great idea to ease his suffering. She said we can put you on morphine and slowly reduce the oxygen until you pass to reduce the amount of time suffering. All he wanted was to die asap thats how bad it got. Anyways he was so excited to hear of this method. Then the hospital president or someone way up had to approve it and they said no way thats suicide! It devestated his hope of an easy death. He was so upset he lost it. Anyway about another week is all he lasted. He passed with nobody with him because it was late at night and visiting hrs were over. Im so worried about how hard that must have been. His doctor told him they had nothing they could do to help him. I wanted him to see another dr. He refused. 🙏

I was diagnosed with IPF in March. I'm taking Ofev twice a day to slow the progression. In addition, I started taking Panacur c, Berberine, and Theracurmin two weeks ago. (this is the drugs Joe Tippin took to eradicate his cancer.) And now I just ordered Zinc, Resveratrol, and NAD-1. I don't know if any of these things will have an effect on my IPF but at this point what do I have to lose?

any type of fibrosis is almost certainly helped with Nattokinase including pulmonary fibrosis.
The doctor is not allowed to tell you this.

The reasons are:
Reduce fibroblast activation and collagen production
Break down fibrin and promote tissue remodeling

Losing the ability to process zinc doesn't mean we should add more zinc necessarily.
Doing so can take it's toll on other parts of your body if done in excess.
It's great that it reduces the fibrosis - definitely, but so could Nattokinase...
It might be a good solution if done in right amounts, but I would try to get the cells to process zinc better, not add more zinc.

I wish they went into more details about supplement(zinc, etc) dosage and frequency

[astrahcat]

Make sure to check potassium too, dont allow it chronically low and dont take too much either.

I have my chart I go too to see my test results and pay bills and keep up with my Dr. appointments . had a CT scan done yesterday and Email came same day results tell me I have a mild case of biapical pleuroparenchymal scarring. could be from the chemo I had and radiation from breast cancer. I did smoke, but I quit 10 years ago. not heard from my dr or anyone else to tell my what to do. Maybe they do not know yet.

Any updates on this, I wonder if you could nebulize zink to get it into the lungs ?

[saorgaza]

This is good to hear - my mother dies of IPF in 2010 and it may run in our family, but would humans just stop testing on animals! Human volunteers could have been used for trialling these 3 supplements

My dad got pulmonary fibrosis from heart medication amidrone.

[johnmontana]

Zinc also good for age relate Macular degeneration. I take Eye vitamins with zinc as one of the ingredients. What amount of zinc is safe?

[jfranco]

[rashmidhingra]

Is Nad plus completely safe for autoimmune patients??? Please reply 🙏

[yvonnebreed]

Wish had money for a lung transplant I would, diagnosed pulmonary fibrosis 7 months ago

[laserlightshowsraihill.]

IF consuming ZINC one should take, later on some copper, to balance with the zinc they both go together but just not at the same time CHEERS

[dulynoted]

So, you can get this overthecounter. And why would we be waiting for big pharma to jack up the price on the same thing?

[pooptv]
