Asthma/Emphasema
Posted by Ivan on 09/25/00 at 11:27 AMI have suffered from asthma and emphysema for several years and have been on ventolin and serevent which have were becoming less effective. My condition had deteriorated until I was barely able to function. Quite by accident while researching treatment for my wife's IBS I discovered that slippery elm was useful in liquifying the mucous which was literally choking me. I started taking 400mg 4 times a day. Within 2 days the mucous came out easily and then gradually disappeared. It is now about 6 weeks since I started the slippery elm and I am completely off ventolin from needing it every one or two hours. I am able to play 18 holes of golf twice a week and do all my household tasks. I intend stopping the serevent as I don't think I need it. I have not consulted my doctor as he will ridicule the idea.
I am 70 years old and had smoked for over 50 years until I gave it up about 3 years ago.
