Hi everyone, I don't post here much anymore but read quite often and wondered if anyone had any ideas for this guy.

I have an online friend with COPD who is probably end stage but is still hanging in tying to exercise with the rest of us. Hes made his peace but the issue is comfort, hes on morphine for shortness of breath and it is not working anymore.

His doctor says its neurological, his lungs have lost elasticity and because of that his nerves 'think' hes not breathing and are firing overtime. I don't know if that is right but he has dyspnea with no oxygen saturation problem, etc.

Can anyone think of a benign herb or supplement that might offer him some relief?

thanks,
