How I Reversed My Mom's Emphysema Third Edition

This book has only had a few reviews and I was surprised to see that they are so negative. Author's research was exhaustive and his dedication to his mother was inspiring.He decided to research holistic approaches after observing that the doctors who were treating his mother were bound by medical licensing boards and drug companies to push prescriptions that were actually making the problem worse. He observed that his mother's health was actively deteriorating after diagnosis and following the accepted treatments available in the medical community. His mother was offered no hope of recovery and was told that doctors do not know why emphysema continues to worsen in spite of quitting smoking.It is true that one can do their own research on the internet about alternative treatments, but it is time consuming and ultimately depressing, concluding that they just don't know how to treat this illness or what causes it to get worse. Having a non-medical person do this research was worth the price of the book and the information he gathered was not the usual medical treatment, therefore not so easy to find on the internet.After reading this book, I conclude that the drugs offered today for Emphysema cause great harm and hasten the breakdown of the body. Side effects from drugs are a real problem and doctors prescribe more drugs to combat the side effects, which in turn, have their own side effects and so on and so on, creating a vicious cycle of drug dependence which destroys various organs in the body.His treatment for his mother worked, and it wasn't until she stopped following the diet that the effects were reversed and she then passed away. The most enlightening part for me was being able to read how each treatment effected his mother and then being able to conclude whether it worked or not. His common sense approach to the human body is useful to those of us who have lost trust in the medical community and I appreciate his dedication to this subject. I also know that the best researcher is one who has a personal stake in the outcome and his love for his mom was that driver.

W.G. You have helped me sooo much. God led me to your book and I am very grateful.I was diagnosed with emphysema years ago, 20 or more. A few years after that, I watched my mother pass away from it, even tho she had quit smoking 10-15 yrs. before. She was never much of a smoker to begin with. Anyway, I saw that and chose not to quit smoking but seek alternative remedies that would help me. The last few years I have learned so much about diet, nutrition, and supplements. Your book is the cream of the crop, that actually got me to back off on the breads and starches, which has made a big difference, along with probiotics, more raw foods, and serrapeptase. Before your book, I didn't really consider diet that important, but it is.I scored a 95 on your survey, so I am holding steady. As for the smoking, I make my own cigs, with relatively clean tobacco. I love bread, that has been the most difficult change to make, but I cheat on occassion.I am so sorry to hear about your family difficulties. Similarly, my brother took care of my mother, only we put our trust in the doctors, knowing what was best. If only we knew then what we both know now. I don't even trust veterinarians for my pets now.Do your own research folks. Seek and ye shall find.Some additional products I would recommend highly, are Clear Lungs, which can be purchased on Amazon. And a tincture called Lung Renewal, made by Enerhealth. Mullein also helps break up mucous.One other thing, Peppermint Oil is fabulous. I have an Aura Cacia Diffuser for nighttime. Or you can just put some on your wrist and breathe in, put a dab on the end of your nose. It does help open you up.

The book could be a lot shorter. The same points are made many times. It is good to have a background on how the author came to his conclusion, but it made me want to get to the end of the book, instead of holding my attention throughout. Otherwise, the book gives a plan of how to set your diet and how your diet affects the medications or natural remedies you may take. The plan that is laid out seems to work, although I must admit it is hard to stay on such a strict diet. Of course, it comes down to whether you want to breathe or not. When I followed this plan, with a little tweeking, I did feel as though my breathing was getting better. I am in the early stages of COPD, and I feel like my breathing is becoming a little more of a struggle, but I am convinced, since I tried this plan for a few weeks and it seemed to work, that I can begin the plan again and that it may just halt the advance of this disease.

While I've never smoked don't have COPD or emphysema, I was born with asthma and am sick a LOT with colds that ALWAYS turn into bronchitis, etc. My parents always smoked constantly and I just lost my beloved older brother to COPD. I wish I had found this book before. I just turned 60 and I finally got the asthma to go away with D3 but still got so sick with bronchitis & always had to go on prednisone. After reading this book I started on some of the supplements mentioned (especially NAC) and have not had bronchitis or difficulty breathing at all!!! About a month ago I caught a cold and it stayed just that. Just a cold. Went away in 4 days, cough & congestion lasted another 3 days and it was gone. That was the first time I've ever had a normal 'cold'. I keep this book handy for reference and its been a big help to me. I already eat right...always pretty much have, and have now also started on other things to help boost my immune system. Can't believe I haven't been really sick. Quite amazing for me. I highly recommend this book

The author has put in a lot of time and effort into research. What he says is challenging to follow but tallies with other stuff I've read. It is a personal story, it is very American. That said, worth a read if you need to.

I'm afraid i discovered this book too late to be of help to my husband, because he simply can't eat all the food mentioned in this book. I wish I had found it earlier. It would be a marvellous book to give to someone just diagnosed with emphysema. It is very inspirational, and very detailed regarding food and supplements. A wonderful, well-researched book, which all chest specialists should read!

I used this book for research on behalf of a friend. She has since used the protocol which is described and is already seeing the benefits. As a useful, researched and informative resource it's excellent.

Brilliant journey

good product
