Chronic lung disease, such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, that is characterized by progressive (the disease gets worse over time), irreversible airway obstruction resulting in a slowed rate of exhalation (breathing out). COPD can cause coughing that produces large amounts of mucus, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and fatigue.
COPD must be treated according to the etiology (causation). It may require courses of conventional antibiotics and probiotics for severe flare-ups of chronic bronchitis integrated with homeopathy, dietary, specfic nutraceutical, and medicinal peptide therapy, as well as natural antiviral and/or antibacterial herbal remedies, home oxygen inhalatory support, and respiratory physical therapy.
