Lung Health

I was diagnosed with COPD at 59. I'm 73 now. Turns out the reason I kept getting worse had nothing to do with how much damage smoking did to my lungs. For fourteen years, I "followed doctor's orders" while accidentally making everything harder to fix. Fourteen years of Mucinex that gave me hope for a month then did nothing. Fourteen years of rescue inhalers I reached for more and more often. Fourt

My mom drank mullein tea for four months and still felt like she was breathing through a cocktail straw. That's when I found out what hospitals have been doing differently this whole time. I have to get this off my chest because, for three years, I watched the strongest woman I've ever known become afraid to walk to her own mailbox. And I almost gave up.

I'm a pulmonologist with 19 years of experience. Here's the one thing I wish I'd told my COPD patients sooner. My name is Dr. Susan Moore, and I need to tell you something that might make a lot of my colleagues very, very angry.
