After much research for alternatives to drugs, I have been trialling the claimed health benefits of organic apple cider vinegar ( with the mother). After 3 weeks regular use I can honestly say that it has reduced to almost zero all of the scripted side effects of my COPD and all the medications I take. Incidentally it also cleared a stubborn wart on my hand in just over a week. I originally bought it on recommendation to treat my dog's low immune system and skin allergies in order to get her off constant courses of steroids and antihistamines. The results were so dramatic and positive in such a short time I thought why not give it a go myself. I still have COPD of course but gone are the cramps in my hands and feet. No more dry mouth or throat, reflux at night has stopped, so what else can I say? 1tsp in water 3 times a day and half my meds taken just to counter the side effects of the inhalers are suddenly no longer needed on a daily basis. It's cheap and readily available, try it - what have you got to lose?

Also try Tumeric, cinnamon, teas. All help with inflammation, immune system. Check out helpful herbs for health. Hope you find some answers. God Bless
