Pulmonary Fibrosis


What is Pulmonary Fibrosis?

Pulmonary Fibrosis involves scarring of the lung. Gradually, the air sacs of the lungs become replaced by fibrotic tissue. When the scar forms, the tissue becomes thicker causing an irreversible loss of the tissue’s ability to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream.


What are the symptoms?

  • Shortness of breath, particularly with exertion

  • Chronic dry, hacking cough

  • Fatigue and weakness

  • Discomfort in the chest

  • Loss of appetite

  • Rapid weight loss.


What is the prevalence of Pulmonary Fibrosis?


There are five million people worldwide that are affected by this disease. In the United States there are over 200,000 patients with Pulmonary Fibrosis. As a consequence of misdiagnosis the actual numbers may be significantly higher. Of these more than 40,000 expire annually. This is the same as die from Breast Cancer. Typically, patients are in their forties and fifties when diagnosed. However, diagnoses have ranged from age seven to the eighties. Current research indicates that many infants are afflicted by Pediatric Interstitial Lung Disease. At this time there is limited data on prevalence for this group.


What are the causes?


Traditional theories have postulated that it might be an autoimmune disorder, or the after effects of an infection, viral in nature. There is a growing body of evidence which points to a genetic predisposition. A mutation in the SP-C protein has been found to exist in families with a history of Pulmonary Fibrosis. The most current thinking is that the fibrotic process is a reaction to microscopic injury to the lung. While the exact cause remains unknown, associations have been made with the following:

  • Inhaled environmental and occupational pollutants

  • Cigarette smoking

  • Diseases such as Scleroderma, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus and Sarcoidosis

  • Certain medications

  • Therapeutic radiation


How is it treated?

There are currently no effective treatments or a cure for Pulmonary Fibrosis. The pharmacological agents designed to treat lung scarring are still in the experimental phase while the treatments intended to suppress inflammation have only limited success in reducing the fibrotic progress.

Because the origin and development of the disease is not completely understood, misdiagnosis is common. Varying terminology and lack of standard diagnostic criteria have complicated the gathering of accurate statistics about people with pulmonary fibrosis. Supplemental oxygen improves the quality of life and exercise capacity. Single lung transplant may be considered for some patients. Pulmonary Fibrosis is a very complex disease and the prediction of longevity of patients after diagnosis vary great.


translation to french language:


Qu'est-ce que la fibrose pulmonaire?

Fibrose pulmonaire à la cicatrisation des poumons. Peu à peu, les alvéoles des poumons devenir remplacé par fibrose des tissus. Quand la cicatrice formes, le tissu s'épaissit causant une perte irréversible de la capacité du tissu de transfert d'oxygène dans le sang.

Quels sont les symptômes?

  • D'essoufflement, en particulier avec l'effort
  • Chronique sèche, toux piratage
  • Fatigue et faiblesse
  • Inconfort dans la poitrine
  • Perte d'appétit
  • Une perte de poids rapide.

Quelle est la prévalence de la fibrose pulmonaire?

Il ya cinq millions de personnes dans le monde qui sont touchées par cette maladie. Aux États-Unis il ya plus de 200.000 patients atteints de fibrose pulmonaire. En conséquence de l'erreur de diagnostic mai chiffres réels sont sensiblement plus élevés. De ces plus de 40.000 expire chaque année. C'est la même chose que de mourir du cancer du sein. En général, les patients sont dans la quarantaine et la cinquantaine lorsque diagnostiquée. Toutefois, les diagnostics ont l'âge variait de sept à quatre-vingt. La recherche actuelle indique que de nombreux enfants sont touchés par de pédiatrie maladies pulmonaires interstitielles. À ce moment, il ya peu de données sur la prévalence de ce groupe.

Quelles sont les causes?

Les théories traditionnelles ont postulé qu'il serait peut-être une maladie auto-immune, ou les séquelles d'une infection virale dans la nature. Il est de plus en plus d'éléments de preuve qui montre une prédisposition génétique. Une mutation dans le SP-C protein a été conclu à l'existence dans les familles ayant des antécédents de fibrose pulmonaire. La plupart des réflexions en cours est que le processus de fibrose est une réaction à des blessures microscopiques aux poumons. Bien que la cause exacte reste inconnue, les associations ont été pris avec le texte suivant:

  • Inhalé environnementale et professionnelle polluants
  • L'usage de la cigarette
  • Maladies telles que la sclérodermie, la polyarthrite rhumatoïde, le lupus et Sarcoïdose
  • Certains médicaments
  • Thérapeutique des rayonnements

Comment est-il traité?

Il n'y a actuellement aucun traitement efficace ou un traitement pour la fibrose pulmonaire. Les agents pharmacologiques visant à traiter les cicatrices du poumon sont encore en phase expérimentale, tandis que les traitements destinés à supprimer l'inflammation n'ont que peu de succès dans la réduction de la fibrose progrès.

Parce que l'origine et l'évolution de la maladie n'est pas complètement compris, erreur de diagnostic est commun. Variante terminologie et de l'absence de critères de diagnostic standard ont compliqué la collecte de statistiques exactes sur les personnes ayant la fibrose pulmonaire. De l'oxygène améliore la qualité de vie et de l'exercice capacité. Seul mai transplantation pulmonaire être considérés pour certains patients. Fibrose pulmonaire est une maladie très complexe et la prédiction de la longévité des patients après le diagnostic varie beaucoup.

It is caused by repeated harm to small areas of your lung. This results in scarring. Although the harm at any one time is to a small part of the lung, the effects build up until they affect enough of your lung to cause symptoms. Along with the injury and the scarring, there is also inflammation. This results in further injury, and makes your lung function worse. Scars serve a good purpose in the skin - they heal injured areas. But in the lung, scar tissue stops the lung doing its job - taking oxygen from the air and passing it into the blood

Témoignage en direct: Je suis reconnaissant au Dr Itua, le puissant guérisseur à base de plantes qui m'a sauvé du VIH / SIDA et de l'herpès. J'ai été diagnostiqué de cette maladie depuis 2012 et à cause de cela, j'étais très mécontent de ma vie et je suis allé dans la recherche sur comment je peux être guéri et j'ai vu le témoignage d'une dame sur la façon dont elle a été guérie de HERPES par le Dr Itua, j'ai décidé de lui faire un essai et quand je le contacterai, il m'assure qu'il m'aidera et m'enverra le remède et j'ai cru en lui car tout ce que je voulais était d'être guéri, alors il a préparé une cure à base de plantes pour moi et m'envoyer Je l'ai reçu via DHL et m'a donné des instructions sur la façon de l'utiliser.Après une semaine, je devrais aller à l'hôpital pour un examen et après une semaine d'utilisation de la phytothérapie, je suis allé à l'hôpital pour un test et à ma grande surprise, le test a déclaré que Je suis VIH / SIDA avec HERPES négatif et je suis complètement guéri des maladies. Cela réjouit mon cœur et tout le monde à l'hôpital a été surpris même le docteur en médecine, donc les téléspectateurs Dr Itua est un homme doué de Dieu et il peut guérir tant de maladies comme le VIH / SIDA, l'herpès, le cancer de toutes sortes, la pile, le problème du rein, la syphile , DIABÉTIQUE et bien plus encore. Vous pouvez le contacter via son e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com ou l'appeler et le whatsapp au +2348149277967. Je continuerai à partager ce grand témoignage sur Internet et dans le monde entier pour le bon travail que le Dr a fait pour moi.///

I was diagnosed in 2013 with pulmonary fibrosis and in early 2014 was told it was idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Next thing I found was I would need to carry around oxygen wherever I went and use it at home and while I slept. I was given a couple of years. In 2018 I was told by a holistic nurse practitioner to try multivitamin herbal treatment because my condition was getting worse. I used the herbal formula in March 2018. My lifestyle has changed since all this began. I consume no alcohol, walk more than I used to and without oxygen, and am able to control my weight much better than before.All of this has changed. I exercise and walk daily, play catch and dance with my grandchildren, I use the organic remedy for over 4 month without any further usage or side effects . I can only speak for myself, but I highly recommend www multivitamincare. org treatment for those who know the feeling of gasping for air as I did.
