Well it must have been lunch time because I certainly had no intention of ending my response that way. ( I didn't even use the spell-checker, and it shows.)
It has been 6 months since I quit smoking - think of the money I'm saving :-) . This is what has transpired since I quit. I no longer need either of my inhalers, - no more asthma attacks. I have returned all of the oxygen equipment which I previously needed. I had both a large "Concentrator" and a small portable ( shoulder strap) type for trips away from home. I got a nebulizer through my insurance (HMO) company and began a regimen of CS, and later a combination of DMSO / CS 1 / 10 ratio twice daily to help clear up what I considered a low-grade infection - had a frequent cough and a lot of phlegm. Now I seldom use my nebulizer as the few times that I do cough in the evening, I consider as acceptable after the amount of damage all of these years. I never expect my lung capacity to get back to nor mal, but I am managing to increase my walking distance, and every day activities around the home no longer leave me breathing hard. I have discovered that there are a few "alternative" approaches to reducing the debilitating effects of emphysema - one I am working on with noticeable results is simply changing the way that I had been breathing - short in and out. TRY taking deep, down in the belly breaths, and exhaling through pursed lips. Also I found that there are people and Doctors who reccomend REBOUNDING on a trampoline. Now I once had read that rebounding might help alleviate an astigmatism. There are small portable trampolines available, but I haven't tried that yet. Spend some searching with google.com - there is a vast amount of information to be found OUT THERE ( reminds me of Twilight Zone) In another part of your letter you stated in part: >I have gone to dozens of sites, and each says this is the best and this is why you should buy ours, our method is best the other ones are wrong ..... batteries, electric, silver rods, silver discs, clear, yellow, brown, use salt, don't use salt, it will turn you blue (at this point who cares), ......... I'm sure you get the picture. To someone who is new, how does one tell just what is best and who is just trying to sell. I read Ode Coyote's reply to your letter, you would be VERY hard pressed to find a more honest man ( Ken, please send the check to ...... :-) both of the URLs he lists should be thoroughly read.
