Does Anyone Use That Or Heard About It .............if So How Much Better Is It As Reg. Oxygen ???
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

Newly introduced treatment contains 60 percent helium with 40 percent oxygen to increase energy by over 200 percent. Because helium is less dense than oxygen, patients with COPD can deplete their lungs more completely than with higher levels of oxygen. However, the downside to this treatment is that it is considerably more expensive due to the amount of helium present. It is currently being used in Canada and widespread use is expected soon.

Sorry ToniSatterfield, but I haven't heard of that treatment either. Maybe it's because I get my treatments through the VA and it hasn't been approved yet.
