I have been reading about the importance of vitamin D in particular and vitamin C. My husband, who has a different pulmonary doctor than I do was prescribed a high dose of vitamin D and it comes as a prescription. My doctor has not prescribed it for me. I will talk to my doctor about it next time I go, but I wondered if any or all of you guys were also taking vitamin D as it is supposed to be good for lung function and excaberation prevention.

Also apparently sipping on osha root and/or ginger tea throughout the day as it can help thin… read more

All reading I have found says that VitaminD is NOT made by the body and MUST be taken in by Dietary and/or outside supplements. My Doc will not budge on recommending Statins when he sees my LDL numbers. The plot just thickened:

I read somewhere about vitamin D or D3 that helps with COPD flare-up, but I can not recall which one it is, also how does a salt lamp help. I have so many flare- up a day like at lease 10 or so. I am really starting to get very scare.
