COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) Best Diet & Supplements

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

How curious! I went 100% carnivore in late January if this year, 2021, and discivered on my own, my COPD symptoms are all but gone. I used to rely on two daily inhalers. Now? Seldom even find myself reaching for the rescue one. I'm so glad you have found bona fide research supporting this theory. I eat beef, eggs, butter and water ONLY, 2mad and I'm fit as a fiddle at 73 years young!

My wife has had asthma since childhood, often needing an inhaler. In 2007 she was involved in a serious car accident that left her with a 40% loss on one lung, now on a daily inhaler and frequently a rescue inhaler. She was on several meds including gabapentin. Just doing one flight of stairs was difficult. When she witnessed my health improvements with my RA and another autoimmune disease with Keto she secretly began Keto. In 2 months she was off all meds including her inhalers. Since her car accident her annual lung function test showed at best holding her own, but a decline in performance was typical. Just 6 months after she began Keto her annual lung function test was due, and she showed a 16% improvement, and that was while off her inhaler. Her respirologist had never seen diet improve anyone's respiratory condition. She's been doing all day mountain hikes with me now, and the smoke from our annual forest fires no longer bother her. 2 years after Keto was her next lung function test, a 30% improvement!

I have COPD. I started keto about a month ago. I've seen a significant improvement in my symptoms. My friend has a very steep hill leading to her front door. I climbed it yesterday for the first time since keto OMG!! I climbed the hill in one go. I was very slightly breathless. Before keto, I had to stop twice on the way up the hill and by the time I reached the top I was very breathless..almost to the point of passing out. My theoretical understanding of keto is now proving itself in the real world. And I've lost 15 pounds. KETO 👍👍 EDIT 1 year later: A *drastic* improvement in my COPD. I can walk for *MILES* without getting breathless. (Also lost 70 1lb of fat).

[@bonniebon7335]

I have early COPD, but yeah. This year has been bad as I was constantly sick and always coughing. Eventually antibiotics came into play as the fluid build up got infected. Doc gave me an inhaler and also some pills to help dry things up at night. Prior to, I had been taking Benadryl to reduce the night time choking, basically. The round of antibiotics did their job but I was still coughing tremendously. I got my blood panel back and WhoA super duper diabetic. I knew what to do. I threw myself into ketogenesis and as soon as I was at that point, the night time coughing stopped and I set the meds aside. Within a week all my coughing was gone even though it has taken longer to bring my blood sugar down. One of the symptoms of diabetes is a particular type of fluid build up in the lungs. The sputum from this has a distinct signature. I wasn’t sick from the COPD as much as I was from the diabetes! The fluid reduction in the very beginning did the trick. I’m on carnivore and I’m staying on it!

[@janellhenry4008]

I've been on a keto/carnivore diet and fasting for 6 months and it has been simply amazing for my lungs and COPD. I can walk up hills again. It's still a bit of a struggle but I can actually do it!!! Thank you for being brave enough to say this stuff out loud!!!

[@wildwolf2807]

I wish I found this sooner. My Mom is in a nursing facility for COPD and O2 desaturation. Since we have went off keto due to financial reasons, she's been getting worse! I pray that I get back on my feet SOON.

[@ThaUnseenTruth]

I was recently hospitalised due to an asthma attack, and when I told the lung doctor that sugary foods are one of the things which exacerbate my asthma, she pretty much dismissed the possibility. She gave me a stronger inhaler but it was too harsh on my lungs, so I have gone back to using my less powerful one. As someone who suffers from chronic inflammation, the greatest exacerbation, and indeed, what I believe to be the main cause, is a lifelong terrible sleeping pattern. Whenever I sleep poorly or work nights my symptoms (which include nasal polyps) are greatly worsened, and whenever I sleep good or work days my symptoms greatly improve. Hopefully, healthy sleep, keto, and intermittent fasting can resolve my ailments and get me off the inhalers...

[@CarnivoreRenegade]

Update?

[@solitaire2849]

This is actually true. I have been on a ketovore diet since February and noticed I am not as short of breath as I used to be. I was prescribed Symbicort and did not take the inhaler AT ALL! Reason being is, it causes weight gain from researching but I was already on my diet. I thought losing 30 lbs might have had something to not being so short of breath. Oh I also quit smoking in Oct 2020 so that might have helped also. I am 66 yrs old.

This is great timing! I found this out for myself this summer. I had elevated liver enzymes in January and, in fact, was referred to a specialist. On my own (after seeing some of your videos) I started a low-carb/high protein and fat diet. My LE improved a great deal and I lost 25 lbs. But another benefit was that my adult-onset asthma (I am 62) improved immensely! I no longer had coughing or difficulty breathing. It was great! I had to hike 3 miles for my son's wedding and was able to do so with no real problem! But they are vegan and so my diet changed drastically for a week. I began to notice the breathing problems come back slowly and weight on the stomach start creeping back. So I realized it was my "keto" diet that had made the difference. When I first had elevated LE, the doctor gave me information on a diet quite different than the one I learned from you. I went with the keto-type diet instead and it was the right decision for me!

Nope. My doctor believes that meds fix all and losing weight is "eating 1200 calories in moderation and mostly carbs" which is one reason why I want to get to my goal before seeing her again. While I still get asthma attacks because of my allergies to my cats and the fires that forever burn here in California, after being mostly carnivore I no longer need steroids for my asthma and I only replace my emergency inhaler once every couple of months instead of twice per month. Vitamin D3 seems to help as well. The daily inhaler was raising my blood sugar, which she doesn't believe either. It's good to be in the know.

[@caroldanson5476]

Serrapeptase is also excellent

[@e.l.daniel1565]

Thank you, Dr Berry for this enlightening video. I have COPD and use a prescribed inhaler. I was wondering why I was having fewer breathing episodes lately. You gave me the answer. I have reduced my carb intake lately and for the last month I have taking Melatonin at bedtime.

[@susiebilk9905]

Nope~~~ never told me anything ~~~~ thank you for your help

I have the best experience with SERRAPEPTASE and NAC with Quercetin and bromelain.

Dr. Ken, can you please make video about Serrapeptase. I use it last 4 years, no pains, no inflammation, my C reactive protein is 0.5 I am 70. In Europe we use it over 50 years in prescription firm I live in North America, so I use higher doses as a nutritional supplement. No conditions no medications Over the years I resolved with Serrapeptase sinuses post nasal drip, plantar fasciitis, hemorrhoids...

This is true a low carb diet will help some people breathing.

[@karenberg4903]

Grateful to find this video for my husband! We will try your recommendations. Thank you!!

[@mikeenslin74]

Thank you for the info I have copd myself it makes breathing very difficult

[@KenDBerryMD]

Please implement the steps I’ll talk about in my keto videos, it will help your breathing so much

[@ronselliers6951]

I thought my asthma and bronchial symptoms were improving because I've been doing breathing exercises and humming. I started doing those about the same time that I began doing lower carb/higher fat diet but maybe I'm going to try and focus more on keto/carnivore. By the way thanks Dr. Berry for getting me to not be afraid of salt, my energy levels love you for that.

[@cierradavid3960]

what breathing exercises and humming have worked for you?

[@ladyvirgo013]

Chanting, Humming and Meditation do help

[@overthemoon9941]

My pulmologist said there’s no such thing as breathing exercise to improve my moderate copd..only confirmed copd 8 months ago. Rx Respimate inhaler has worked so well..noticed big improvement just 5 months…maybe he’s right 🤷‍♀️

[@frankenz66]

I grow ginseng and I make tea from dried stems by clipping my plant tops. I put it in tea bags and make tea like making regular tea. It has a really calming and relaxing effect within an hour. Not the greatest of tastes. I know you are talking about the root, but I sort of stumbled on to how the tops effect a person. Or myself anyways. I will be clipping my tops either today or tomorrow as it is my way of hiding the root from ginseng hunters. August 1 being first day of ginseng season here in my part of Arkansas. Thanks!

Sugar is white death and so is flour. I never really get sick anymore but a few times I used NAC to help withe getting the lung nasties out.

So sad that the FDA moved NAC to prescription only now. ☹️

It would also help if they quit smoking.. my husband has it and is smoking 🚬 more now since being diagnosed. He says he wants to enjoy his life while he can. Same with his alcohol consumption. 🍸 And he refuses to change his diet. All his food is carbs and a lot. It's so sad.

Eliminating abdominal obesity also helps with breathing from a mechanical perspective. Keto/carnivore is a win-win-win when it comes to breathing.

Keto (now Carnivore) resolved my chronic bronchitis in a year. I used to have at least one serious infection a year, but I’ve not had it in the past 6 years!

[@patty19541]

Thank You so much Dr. Berry you are a true blessing. My sister has had a serious breathing problem since last Oct 2020, she has to wear a mask at work for 10 hours a day and now she can't walk without wheezing. Her doctor has taken 6 months to finally tell her that she has reactive airway disease, Eating Keto somedays and Carnovior most days has greatly helped my breathing over the last year (I have seasonal asthma ) But I am going to send this video to her I pray that she will finally listen and give Keto a real try. God Bless you.

That's all true, but I'm still surprised that you didn't mention NAC. NAC liquefies the thick mucus so that it can be coughed out much better.

[@garycramer7866]

Thanks Doc ! I have had COPD, asthma and chronic bronchitis for 13 years 🙄. My pulmonary care and cardiac doctors do not believe in nutrition your food as your medicine. Thank You

Try low carb for a week, a month or longer. Keep a journal on how your breathing and feeling. You will be on the mend!

How about Food Grade H2O2 for COPD?

COPD and started ketovore in November because of type 2. It's reversed my diabetes and I've been able to turn my concentrator from 3 to 1. And starting to go without a few hours a day now.

Have had slight COPD for a couple of years and found that reducing carbs has helped me. Just watched this video and it confirms what has happened to me, sort of self satisfying 😊

[@carolkuhn2682]

Have you heard of the buteyko breathing method? It states that by holding breath builds up CO2 and therefore allows the O2 molecule to break away from hemoglobin. Without CO2 the O2 would remain on hemoglobin and not be transferred into the cells.

Thank you so much fir this awsome video. My father has severe copd and takes all the meds possible. I have researched every supplement put there . Have him on vit C vit E, Vit D 10000 daily He uses nubiliwer in the moring and a few other things. He's oxigen hovers around 90 , but noticed a few days of 95 when I took him on holidays and didn't eat after 7pm. Now my dad is old fashied and lives carbs , breads, pasta , etc. From all the research I've done , and coming across this video is one of them , getting rid of carbs and intermittent fasting will help enormously. I will do my best to convince him. He will be happy to get a %10 improvement. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I also had him use N acetylene, but stopped the for a while . What are your thoughts on this supplement

[@note2020]

If he can't cut back on his carb intake, he will burn the carbohydrates by walking and walking and walking.
