Sharon, I may be interested in the same protocol re "Pneumotophin". I have Emphysema, and had a "Pulmonary Embolism" in 2003, "Double Pneumonia" in 2004 and next, who knows what?! Have you or anyone else heard of this "concoction" helping anyone? Do you have the web site that sells it? Thanks, Pete In a message dated 1/29/05 7:37:31 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Hi James, I hope by now you are feeling a bit more comfortable. Following the "pc" so necessary these days, I can tell you what I would do if I were in your shoes. I'd find a nearby practitioner who carries the Standard Process line of products and I'd get a couple of bottles of their Pneumotophin and start taking 2 per meal for a few weeks. These are more effective at rebuilding the target organ or gland than most, if not all, of the "raw glandulars" off the shelves at the local HFS. Standard Process' method of producing these raw glandulars leaves an live enzyme in the tablets. Over a period of time, variable by individuality, using these would strengthen the lungs. Among the many modalities available, this is one I would not miss and would use these tablets along with other procedures. I wish you a rapid and 'uneventful' recovery! Sharon From: _James Allison_ (mailto:[email protected]) What a long and trying day it's been! First and foremost, I want to thank all of you so much for all of your private emails to me, you people are about one of the greatest groups of people I have ever been in association with! As for the problem at hand, I went ahead and got the x-ray, and as I suspected, there was/is a problem. I'm at about a 10% collapse, in the upper portion of my left lung. No surgery or chest tube required at this time, so I am at home now and resting. I am told that this will most likely clear up on its own, which I believe it will. However, I am still interested in helping it to heal more quickly and more permanently (right now there is a 50% chance that it can collapse again within the next 6 months even if it heals fine). So please, keep those suggestions coming! I am going to close for now, but just wanted to give everybody an update. Am drugged up right now on painkillers (I forgot how good narcotics were!), so am not even going to attempt to respond to all the private messages that I got, as I am way to groggy/goofy. I did want to let everybody know that I am OKay though, as things were up in the air with my last message. Once again, thank you all so much for your emails. Mike, I'm sure you're aware of this already, but you have really made a place here that is full of loving and caring people. Thanks for doing what you do :) -James
