Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

I have taken a natural approach to pain relief the past couple of years. I have been thinking about this after my last doctor’s appointment and getting a good report. m them, so, I thought I would list out some of the benefits I have found since I started taking this approach. After looking it over I decided to share it with my family and friends for those that do not know the benefits of it.

Before

Fifteen medicines a day
Two inhalers
Almost 80 lbs. heavier
Both lower lobes of lungs were collapsed
COPD
Crippling pain from Fibro and other conditions, nearly non-functional
Not able to be active at all.
Debilitating Depression and Anxiety
Terrible Insomnia, 2-3 hours a night at times, none at others
High Blood pressure, 2 meds a day
Migraines
Cognitive function issues
Memory issues

After
Eight medicines,
Zero inhalers
Almost 80 lbs. lighter
All lobes are now open.
No COPD signs.
Still some pain that comes and goes but much improved and more functional.
More active and able to do things.
Mental health is still an issue now and then, but it has greatly improved.
I now get an average of six hours a night.
Normal blood pressure, zero medications needed.
No Migraines
Cognitive issues remain but have improved, no doubt due to improved sleep.
Yeah, well the memory hasn’t really improved, but I’m also about to turn 50, LOL!

Oh, it has not cured me. I still have my issues, but boy has it helped me immensely.

For those on the fence: Let me remind you that God created this plant. Noone has ever died of an overdose from it. It is all natural and if you want you can grow it yourself and know where it comes from and what you are consuming. Not to mention it is now 100% legal where I live.

For those that judge those that use it: I would rather know what I am putting in my body is safe than take the pills the pushed on me for all these years that caused more problems than they helped… I think their medications caused half of my issues. As with my food, I prefer my medicine as natural as possible. The chemicals and stuff that they add to everything cannot be good for us!

The pharmaceutical companies had a great deal to do with the abolishment of this medicinal herb and the continued suppression of its use. No money to be made in a medication you can grow yourself.

It truly has been a miracle for me! I thank God for those that talked me into trying it. I do think it saved my life, or, at the very least, added quality to it, if not quantity.

So, I have pretty severe cPTSD. My early childhood was full of parentification and emotional neglect. Due to other needs in the family and mine being less obvious- I always had to be ok on my own. I've recently learned so much about what childhood should be like and some of the reasons I struggled so much. I'm a single mom to an amazing teenager. Thankfully, I have been able to break the cycle for him. He has a healthy sense of self and doesn't question his worth- even though I still struggle.
My dad died 3 years ago, about a year after a terminal cancer diagnosis. My mom followed a year ago from a COPD associated heart attack.
Despite all I know about what was wrong in our relationships- I had established healthy boundaries with them more than a decade ago. They didn't accept much of what I know to be true, but we managed to connect and enjoy one another. It's so hard to miss them, while also being relieved that I don't have to fight so hard to keep my boundaries. Love is complex.

Hi, I had some reductions in meds about 3-4 months ago. I've noticed recently I am starting to have increased su...dal ideations. Every day several times, I haven't had them everyday for at least 5+ years, I would occasionally but not like this again. My mood has been lower & I just don't care. I'm changing GP's ATM, so can't go there as they don't know me. Anyone got any ideas how to get on top of this, I do dbt but it's kinda scary. #BorderlinePersonalityDisorderBPD #Anxiety #Depression #ChronicObstructivePulmonaryDiseaseCOPD #chronic depressive disorder #PTSD #PERSISTENT pain #ChronicIllness

Hi, my name is mmouse42. I'm here because
I have copd stage 4. I am 81 yrs old.my husband (14 yrs younger) has decided he's tired of being a care taker. He has become verbally abusive, does the least he has to do and not happily. He is also having a rather blatant affair with our neighbor. I am very dependent on him. Am on O2 24/7.
Our marriage is over and I'm having a very hard time accepting that plus I'm worried about needing someone to help me with daily activities.
I am a retired teacher and been the sole bread winner. He's basically been living with me for free.
He vapes weed pretty much all day and night.
I'm very depressed!
