Thanks everyone, just thought I'd check out his theory about OO. I think Kaylee's too young yet, but was planning for the future.</end quote></div>
I dunno, for me it helped a lot.
From 2003-2005 my fev1 went from 77 to 65 to 55...for no paticular reason. My doctors were kinda distressed, but wasn't really sure what was going on. I too was a little worried...but at the time i didn't culture pseudo, so options of treating were limited to taking oral ABX when i got an infection, which was rare. This rational thinking drove me nuts, cause my lung function was dropping so much and the doctors seemingly didn't care
I think it was December of last year that i tried it, and within 3 months my fev1 went to 87% and my fev25 was 103. I was smiling so much. My doctors were amazed. I didn't tell them the at first, cause i wanted to have another test done before i could confirm the results
I have another clinic due soon, so i will let you guys know what happens. You know, as Sean has stated so many times before, the doctors are so focused on their methods of treatement that they really don't investigate other alternatives. Hence the amazing part of this site. Despite the disputes, this place is pretty amazing.
You know, inhaling it might not be for everyone...cause it is harsh, however, taken orally, i don't see the problems with it. You know, we are living with a terminal illness, so we have to make dicisions about our health and wiegh the negative and poitive aspects of this. If you're in perfect health, then perhaps you don't need it. If your lung function is going down, then why not give it a try, and many other of the alternative therapies around...
In the end, this is our health, our lives...and we make the decisions. Doctors are amazing for certain things, but it's still our duty to take care of ourselves..
