hello everyone

Yes totally agree, I have found there is one person in particular who I have seen on the platforms and groups/health who is promoting silly herbs as a cure ?? We All Wish it was true.

She uses a few different names and I really think she’s American 🇺🇸 I don’t need to tell you all , but for newly diagnosed, it can be daunting and frustrating, they will grab on to anything, and these Scamers Grab your Money

I think herbs are mainly a waste of time and some can interact with prescribed meds, best left alone unless Dr approves scammers or not. Scammer are now a plague and something should be done.

We've had this problem on the site before- also from America. Personally I'm already on so many medications that I worry about adding new prescription meds to the hoard, let alone herbs of dubious provenance.

I agree with you when I was diagnosed I myself would have gone down that route for a cure for copd cause I was devastated and panicky upset so I understand why you have posted what you have

Hi Alberta. Thanks for the reminder to be cautious. Yes, we all hope to be cured and this makes us vulnerable to scams. Scammers predominantly prey on the vulnerable and hopeful. xxx❤️

Hi Trevor 6. I don't believe in herbal remedies but have found that half a lemon squeezed unto a bit of warm water early in morning helps me to cough up phleghm when my chest is very tight. Just thought to share this on the forum.
