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

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

Subject: CS>Help with...
Hi everybody. Sorry I haven't said much lately, but I've been having
problems that CS doesn't seem to help. I just got out of the hospital 2 weeks
ago (did 6 days in there) due to a spontaneous pneumothorax (which is medical
terms for a lung collapsing without any reason in particular. For those that
are learned in the field, actual reason is blebs). I did have a chest tube in
me for the time I was there, but I didn't opt for having the surgery where they
go in and actually fix the problem (they basically cut, staple and glue your
lung to the lung wall). To make a long story short, for the past couple of
days I've had the same symptoms that I had before, and before going into a very
scary situation (the whole hospital rigmarole) once again, I thought I would
see if anybody here had any suggestions. I've done some lookups on the net,
and almost everywhere says that surgery is the only real option. Does anybody
know of any less evasive options for this? I'm gonna stick by the computer for
a few more hours and hope for suggestions, then call and schedule an x-ray,
which I think I already know the outcome of. If you don't here from me for a
couple of weeks, you'll know the outcome as well ;)
